Im a new fan, need some help

[The Yngster]

This has probably been done a thousand times, but I need some help. I'm a little short on cash, so I can only afford one or two albums at the moment, and I like what I've heard from this band. Can I get some quick recommendations on which albums to start out with?

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Start with Blackwater Park, then Still Life. They are the most accessible. Then work your way back.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

oh yngster you should have asked that question on the symphony x board i'm there as well

well just to help ya out check out Still Life, Morning Rise or My Arms, Your Hearse

hope that helped

 

[Meuterei]

Blackwater Park, then My Arms, Your Hearse. Those are the easiest for a new fan to get into... unless you're already an established metalhead... in that case go for My Arms, Your Hearse first (That was my first, hehe )

 

[PrinnyD00d]

I started with Blackwater Park, and it's worked out well for me.

 

[jester00]

defiantley blackwater park, the easiest to get into.



from there head for stilllife and work backwards.


my arms your hearse is difficult to get into if your new.

 

[demon talented]

Go for Blackwater Park first, certainly. It is the easiest to get into. All the Opeth albums are excellent, so going for the most accessible (BWP) is a smart move. Have fun.

Who says this guy wants to take the easy way out? Damn, if I were ever in an army with you guys, I'd have men guarding the bloody exits.

Go for Orchid. I was just starting my adventure in metaldom when I came across that absolute gem, and I wouldn't have it any other way, now. I mean, why not start at the beginning? Orchid all the way.

I'd say just go for the gold: M o r n i n g r i s e

Agreed. Except for MAYH, SL and BWP

Well thanks I guess, turns out I have to start out with all of them I'll probably go with Blackwater Park (I've heard the title track and its brilliant), then Orchid. I am rather new to growlers, I haven't liked them much in the past, but I enjoyed the songs I've heard from Opeth.

 

[Mr.Painkiller]

if your not big on growls then i believe Still Life is the album for you, it seems to have the least amount of growls (Though they're still there ) and it has some of the most gorgeous acoustics ive heard by Opeth. However, My Arms Your Hearse is my favorite thanks to the tracxk When, but regardless, any Opeth album is worth 10 of any other band's so itll be a good investment regardless. Rock On \m/

 

[JesusChristPose]

BWP, by far their easiest cd to get into.

 

[phon1c]

blackwater park!!

 

[Protected Witness]

It doesn't matter which one you get cause you will probably like it anyway.
