Ghost Reveries or Still Life.

[all_sins_undone]

Which album do you prefer? Just wondering.

 

[wwallinga]

Their top two albums are Still Life and My Arms, Your Hearse. Other people may have personal favorites, but that is purely subjective. Nothing else they have done approaches these two albums musically, lyrically or thematically.

I would probably place Ghost Reveries around the middle somewhere. I think it's better than Orchid and Morningrise, but not better than Blackwater Park or Damnation or Deliverance. (So, I would rank it 6th out of 8).

It's still a great album, and I regularly listen to it.

I have nothing but fond memories listening to SL. And I love the concept.

 

[Ermz]

Still Life is where it's at.

Still Life is where it's at.

Without doubt

TBH i personally don't see how it could be GR when it's out of that and Still Life. For me it's just blatant, even if you don't like the music, which album is superior in EVERY respect.

 

[Zivilyn]

Ok, you picked the (usual) favorite, classic album (around here it seems), and put it up against the new guy? What do you expect?

For me it's probably pretty close, because SL is not one of my favorites. So it's too close to tell.

(edited, because while I love my signature, other people's big signatures annoy the shit out of me when I see it too much, so I'm trying not to overexpose it.)

Still Life, you fucking tard

 

[Sadpoet]

Ghost Reveries kicks Still Life's arse!

Ghost Reveries. SL is great, but GR is much better.

White Cluster is one of my top 5 though.

 

[Jude]

Still Life all the way. It's their best album.

 

[Maggot9]

Ghost Reveries. SL is great, but GR is much better.

White Cluster is one of my top 5 though.

No, it isn't.

 

[Godhead's Lament]

Still Life owns everything because there is just so much emotion, not only in music and vocals, but also lyrics.

Ghost Reveries has a dark sound to it, which I am a huge fan of, but Still Life beats it any time.

Old school fags

The king is dead, long live the new king! GHOST muthafuckin REVERIES !!!

 

[Deadlift]

Still Life has more good ordinary Opeth songs while Deliverance and Ghost Reveries has a few weirdo songs.....don`t like that.

 

[Oblique Rain]

Simply different but both great.
GR is much more grown up and prejudice free.
SL is SL, it's been made already.
Would you like Opeth to use the same formula and become a stagnant band?

 

[Asharak]

Right now, I'd have to say "Ghost Reveries" becuase it's new and I am really digging it at the moment, but "Still Life" is brilliant, no doubt.

I think every aspect of Still life is better, the guitar riffs especially. The feel of that album is so damn perfect, its pure Opeth. And the two ballads on that album kick the ballads on GR.

GR is prolly my least fav of all the albums actually, not that I dont like it.

 

[Splintered Vision]

GR! I've never really loved Still Life. So GR takes it.
