Least depressing opeth album

[shark22]

There is already a thread about how opeth has some depressing sounding music. But I was wondering which album you all thought was the most hopeful or upbeat sounding. For me Still Life is the most upbeat album. The album just seems more positive and less "doomy" than the others. I was just wondering what the rest of you thought and if you agree with me.

 

[FUBAR]

I agree with you about 'Still Life' i find most of that album quite uplifting

Orchid is the least depressing album for me...and Still Life is the most depressing.

 

[Dreadful]

Orchid the least?!?! haha...very interesting. For me, I'd say Still Life is the least and musically Orchid with all those clean parts is the most depressing.

Yeah, for me Orchid doesn't sound as depressing as Still Life and Morningrise for some reason.

Blackwater Park for me

I don't find any of Opeth's albums to be depressing. I feel good after I listen to Opeth. Except for maybe Still Life. I get depressed because the album is not as good as the others.

No way, Still Life is their best album. And I'd have to say also that its the least depressing. Although I dont really find their music very depressing at all.

 

[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]

I agree... i don´t find Opeth music depressing at all...

 

[Demoke]

The least depressive album is Still Life. The two main characters, despite being killed, meet in the afterlife; so it's a kind of happy ending; besides, they spend a night together... The rest of the album is violent (especially "Serenity Painted Death") and agressive (eg. "The Moor"). So, not depressive.

Opeth aint depressing.....BWP and Damnation would be if they weren't so damned entertaining though

 

[prowlergrig]

mayh the most depressive and deliverance the least...

still life is also quite depressive for me, especially when i think of the story while listening

 

[Eemu]

D1 least, Morningrise most

 

[fuscous]

The most depressing are "Damnation" and "Blackwater Park". Least is "Still Life"..

 

[Demilich]

MAYH most, maybe Orchid least

 

[fuscous]

[NFU]

No way, Still Life is their best album.

says you.

 

[synergy]

says me too

Well, I don't find Opeth's music deppresing at all too. But My Arms, Your Hearse has more or less deppresing lyrics as well (some of them) so it could be.

I'd agree Still Life would be the most upbeat. Blackwater Park and Orchid and SL are probably the most "upbeat" and not "dragging down into anger" albums for me at least.
