Not to be a dick but "Mornigrise" is sorta boring.

i disagree, you don't have to have alot of stuff combined with alot of small gadgets inserted to make interesting music. for example steven wilson has managed to make intresting music with only a few chords by combining them differently and "dressing" them in different ways... very often less is more.

This was the album which made me a proper Opeth fan, before hearing it I didn't like them very much at all. Morningrise completely changed my opinion. For a while I only stood by the first couple of albums, but being able to appreciate those led me to appreciate the stuff the band plays now. If it wasn't for songs like "Black Rose Immortal" or "The Night and the Silent Water" I wouldn't be making this post right now. Fucking love that album still.

About a week ago. I have all the opeth tabs from it if you want them, some of the ones on ultimateguitar are horribly outdated.

I love Morningrise. My favorite Opeth album, I may be partial cause it's the first one I heard, but I still think it's fantastic, not a bad song on it. I mean sure if you wanna compare it to, say, Still Life, or Ghost Reveries, in terms of production, focused song structure, etc., but I still love it no matter what.

The drums on Morningrise sound like a retarded or high on mushrooms Martin Lopez.Everytime I listen to the drums {on Morningrise} I just have to laugh because that drummer was not very good.I really think that Martin leaving AmonAmarth was the key to Opeth breaking out.Mikael should treat him with eternal respect.

I gotta say BRI is far from my favorite Opeth song. The rest though is 
It's like the perfection of epic, progressive gothenburg metal. I guess...
It actually was one of my all time favorite albums for a while, but I started to feel that the disjointed songwriting was getting to me.
Miles better than Orchid though.

I remember when they had to drop Forest of October from their setlist cause martin lopez couldn't handle the double kicks

Seriously? He was pretty good at them later on.

I know they used to play it, but then they stopped, and i remember people saying it was cause he couldn't do the double kicks, i think mikael might have even said that on the forum. I don't know what the deal was, maybe this was after his disease got worse or maybe he just wasn't doing a great job on them in the first place.

I don't get that. I love that song because I think it's damn brilliant and takes the listener on a fantastic journey.

It just doesn't work. There's just random parts put together, some are beautiful, some are just too repetitive and boring.
