Most Depressive Opeth Album

[Rejvk]

Yea, it has depressive elements. But listening to it, isn't particularly depressing, it's more extrovert, and pumps you up more, than any other album.

 

[Dragon-Dreams]

I'd also go for 'My arms, Your Hearse' Every element has slight sadnesses in it.
It's also my favourite Opeth album.
Still Life is also quite depressed.

shouldn't this be a poll, anyway?

 

[Hulk Hogan]

Deliverance cuz it sucks it makes me depressed! lollotilol

 

[koolboee cdmo87]

Damnation is the most depressing all-around, I would say. "Windowpane" is rather gloomy, and although it eventually picks up a bit with a smidge of hope in "Death Whispered a Lullaby", it's soon crushed again by "Closure" and its following tracks.

The other albums, while they can be just as sad, are obviously heavier and still get you pumped-up a bit.

 

[Demilich]

Discouraged Ones! Oh wait... hehe

 

[AndICried]

MAYH, clearly.

 

[Demoke]

Hope Leaves is the most depressing song of all Opeth ones. It being in Damnation makes this album the most depressing one -hands down!-

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

damnation. demoke is right, hope leaves is quite depressing but weakness is even more depressing!

 

[Demoke]

[KOTNO]Narrot, you deserve an off-topic peac eout!

 

[MoonRaven]

what the fuck is the avatar that abcdefg has, i have been trying to figure it out for about 2 weeks now.

hope leaves is my favorite song off of damnation, as a matter of fact, i tabbed it out for metal tabs, i think its perfect, but ehhh, i dunno. DAMNATION KILLS ALL.

 

[Dem0n0fTheFall4]

Still Life isn't depressing for me at all. I think it's the bright color on the cover even though everything else on the cover is depressing....

 

[Opeth\m/\m/]

I would have to say, Morningrise, because of TBYF, AND TNATSW

 

[TowardsDeadEnd]

morningrise

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

depressive

 

[Nico]

The other albums, while they can be just as sad, are obviously heavier and still get you pumped-up a bit.

Sounds like you think that heavy cant be as sad. Try listening to Swallow the Sun.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Depressive is not a word. I can't count how many times I've seen it used here. I understand English isn't everyone's first language. DepressING is the operative word.

 

[ViCyniC]

I'd say BWP and/or D2. And just by coincidence they're also my least favorite albums...

 

[Rose Immortal]

I guess I'm the only person to feel this way, but I'd say Deliverance. It's quite obvious from the music that that aspect of the narrator (of both D1 and D2) meets a bad end, whereas on every other album there seem to be tiny hints of a better ending.

I would deffinately have to say that both ''My Arms, Your Hearse'' and ''Still Life'' give off a very depressing feeling. Mainly due to the lyrical content of the albums, but also the music tends to create a rather depressing atmosphere aswell.
