KPR's Early Opeth Song Ranking List

[King Purple Rainbow]

This is my early ranking of my top ten songs...

1. "In Mist She Was Standing"

A song of beauty and chaos at the same time. A masterpiece.

2. "To Bid You Farewell"

A song of unsurpassed beauty and sorrow. An unrivaled acoustic epic.

3. "April Ethereal"

Awesome, awesome, awesome. It's brilliance cannot be denied.

4. "Epilogue"

Their best instrumental. I'm not worthy.

5. "Harvest"

A pretty song with a haunting quality only Opeth can deliver.

6. "Benigned"

Gorgeous, soulful, sweeping. You can't help but be swept away.

7. "The Drapery Falls"

A haunting song that permenatly imbeds itself in your heart.

8. "Face Of Melinda"

Everything's perfect. A perfect song.

9. "The Apostle In Triumph"



10. "Blackwater Park"

Massive riffs and chilling interludes. Greatness.

Hey King Purple Rainbow!

Remember me?

[King Purple Rainbow]

Fifth Horseman! What's up?

Hope you enjoy your stay at UltimateMetal.com!

Man, do you know how good it feels to finally find a decent Opeth forum?
The forum you can access from www.darkwood.com/opeth pretty much sucks, and it was the only one I knew about until today...

 

[King Purple Rainbow]

Well, enjoy yourself here! Welcome to the Opeth family!

[Chaostar]

Simple for me :

1 - April Ethereal... totally perfect, also the first Opeth song I heard
2 - The Moor

After those, many other great songs I'm unable to sort, but not as perfect as the 2 first... (Drapery falls, White Cluster, etc...)

 

[King Purple Rainbow]

Excellent, people...

E X C E L L E N T ! ! !

 

[Ermz]

Wish I could have a favourite list... but the airplay my Opeth songs get varies alot now and I'm starting to appreciate some songs I never really cared for in the past .

 

[King Purple Rainbow]

And that's the best way to listen to Opeth songs...

 

[Protected Witness]

It's really hard to rank songs...but my favorite Opeth riff right now is the one in the middle of Drapery Falls in 5/8 time where Mike and Peter are a half step apart....that is the heaviest fucking riff on the planet!!! And Opeth don't even tune down!

(yes, I know there are a few drop D songs, but that's not really tuning down...)

 

[King Purple Rainbow]

Man, this heavy CD coming out soon is gonna knock some heads!

[sentience_withers]

fuck man....you call Blackwater Park and Still Life early opeth?? so anything that is already released is early?? will deliverance count as "early opeth" in 6 months?? so very sorry for being "tr00" as people call it, but fuck... early Opeth can so obviously be distinguished by a completely different style, which can be heard on Orchid, Morningrise, and MAYH...
If I've misunderstood what exactly you mean by "early opeth song ranking list" I apoligize...
oh yeah...heres my tr00 list early opeth songs.

Under the Weeping Moon
The Night and the Silent Water
Black Rose Immortal
To Bid You Farewell
