Well hes right. GR owns all albums production wise. The BWP production is the same production as Deliverance.The Evil Toucan said:

I could have sworn they were near done the album completely when they signed to RR? Or were they only done writing it and recording the master tracks?
I like Waz posting/typing style. He takes time to have a signature which shows pride. I guess some of yous have overlooked that.

Grim compared with Opeth MA,YH onwards, not compared to other music.
As in young adults that are new to the recording process and don't yet have any studio experience. Grim as in if they made that album this year it wouldn't sound that way but in the BM 90's it was easier to do and a default choice for a band starting out in the recording world. If that makes more sense.

Orchid and morningrise sound fine imo. the production does not take away from the music. at least orchid doesn't sound like the black metal albums that were released around that time.

I always thought Morningrise was perfect. Maybe not sonically superior like GR, but who cares? The music and atmosphere on that album is really all that matters, it's a classic 10/10

The actual mix itself doesnt feel like its using the most of the space they had. Its not full enough. Id say orchid( granted a few mistakes here an there ) has definatley got the more supierior sound.

1. waz can't type. Seriously, you should learn to type someday. Everyone who complains about him is right.
2. Morningrise has production that suits the music well. I have no complaints about Morningrise's production, in fact, almost all of the Opeth albums have good/great production. I think MAYH and SL are a bit lacking in this area.
3. Whomever said that BWP has the same production as Deliverance is probably deaf.

I'd say Deliverance has the worst production...
Like GR, at first it sounds pretty good. Good guitar sound, very tight drums... but after a while you're going to hear the errors. All is compressed. Drums sound inorganic to me...
GR was a lot better compared to Deliverance. The first album with Mendez where the bass is actually audible. I can finally here what he's playing. But still it doesn't sound as organic as Still Life for example.
I think once you get to really know an album, you notice all the little quirks in the production and you will accept them. Once an album has grown on you, you wouldn't want it any different. If Opeth were to re-record MR and Orchid I would stick to the old one, whereas new listeners would probably go for the new one.

Actually there was a little album called 'Damnation' which came prior to Ghost Reveries. It's where the bass guitar is the most audible, by a long shot.

St Anger is a good album just not by Metallica standards. It's a fucking nu metal record if another band had made people would have praised the ground they walked on. Alas for Metallica it's rubbish.

You might be right. I've always assumed that production was done through Roadrunner on Ghost Reveries. Plainly because it's so much of a step up production wise from Damnation and Deliverence (though their production is near perfect GR is beyond perfect). Wheather that's a good or bad thing i don't know.

The band were more or less finished with the entire thing by the time they 'officially' signed. I doubt the label would've had time to negotiate any studio time for them, much less a producer and engineer.
If there's someone you want to thank for the 'sound' of Ghost Reveries, drop Jens some fanmail. GR to me sounds like the result of hours of pedantic engineering, trying to strike the perfect balance between seperation, clarity and vibe.
