Hi. I'm new.

Hi.
I actually got blackwater park around 9-10 months ago or so. I have been really taken with the cd for a long time now. Yesterday I finally ordered all the other 4

I'm kinda wondering how the different albums compare?

Thanks,

-rick

Welcome to the boards!

Well, I'm kinda new myself.

To your album question: Each album sounds different and unique.

 

[Russell]

Yeah, they all differ, but you'll find out for yourself Of course it ill be bloody hard getting to know them all without leaving one out if you are gettin all earlier 4 at a time

 

[Johan]

Hey and welcome.

Just be prepared for very different-sounding albums. Hard to compare them to each other.

 

[Chaostar]

Welcome !
You were right to order all Opeth stuff !
I'm sure you won't be able to listen to anything else for month !!
Let us know in a few weeks what do you think about them...

 

[sands of the seas]

Hello and welcome.
I can't answer your question, but this is a good excuse to waste another post. Well, enjoy the cds and your time here

welcome rickster G.
They're all different in their own intricate ways, and each album has a pretty distinct feel. You will get to know if you have all of on a random play, you will tell by the feel of the songs...... (oh this is My arms your hearse, or this is Morning rise, BWP e.t.c. Once you know em you know each of their distinct flavours pretty intimately.
But yeah, their all crackers. You'll love em all. Especially Still Life I reckon... being that you're really into BWP

 

[the rick]

Cool, glad to hear they didn't put out a "dud" like most bands do.

Hope the bastards at cdnow get them to my damn house soon

Damn, where's Kushan's "Hi, I'm Rice" .gif when you need it.....? *Sigh*

This is how I percieve all the CDs in term of their attributes.

Orchid - Best use of counter-point melodies. Most melodic.
Morningrise - Most epic, most complex.
MAYH - Most heavy and brutal (duh!)
Still Life - Most mellow, best acoustic moments.
BWP - Most atmospheric, and arguably, moodiest.

Deliverance - Most, ummm (?)

Whoops, forgot...

Yes!

...and thats all I have to say about that.

Y'know, I was just thinking. My most special Opeth song is To Bid you Farewell. I just recently split with this girl, and it made me cry.

Especially when he goes: "Why can't you see that I try? When every tear I shed...is for yooouuu"

Oh man, here I go again *sniff*, anyone got any hankies?
