Opeth Acoustic Moments

[Rusty]

Morningrise = To Bid You Farewell = Accoustic heaven.

Although Benighted and Face of Melinda run it quite close, nothing beats TBYF for accoustics.

 

[Alcapoth]

Damn straight, lutz!!!

I see Morningrise finally takes the lead...by a single vote. Well, at least in the lead it surely, rightfully is.....

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Morningrise but Still Life is a close second. I think the "sunbirds..." part of Black Rose Immortal is one of Opeths best moments. Credence is my favorite all acoustic song though.

 

[Claire's Horror]

I went with Morningrise. It's, I think, the most emotive album of the band, and precisely because of such passages. Still Life is also pretty good in that aspect, but I don't think it can top it.

I'd have to go for Orchid. Morningrise was never my cup of tea. Listen about 4:45 into Forest of October and you'll know what I'm talking about (electric and acoustic entwined). And also about 7:55 into the song (another entwined moment). Or the intro to Under The Weeping Moon... you name it, Orchid's got it .

 

[Silver Raven]

Definatly Morningrise!!!

Damn right Moonlapse!!!

I love the acoustic work on My Arms Your Hearse just because of the atmosphere that it imposes. Also you can sometiems here acoustic going under distorted which makes a really cool effect!!

very hard decision.....toss up between morningrise and still life.
i have to go with morningrise.

am i like them? those who mourn and turn away, those who would give anything to see you again, if only for another second......the acoustic parts on that entire cd are amazing.

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Jesus. Good question. HARD question.. hmm.. Still life.

advent, to bid you farewell, nectar, the night & the silent water.........

 

[Manes]

Well... At least morningrise has taken the cake... I'm glad...
That would have been my second choice, no doubt...

cheers... and thanks for voting...:Smokedev:

 

[Austin7]

Morningrise man. The Night and the Silent Water acoustic part kicks ass.

 

[Static]

When it comes to a singularly awesome acoustic moment I'd say the "what would they care, if I did stay, no one would know ,ohh ohh" part of Godheads Lament is the best they've ever done.

 

[phon1c]

my favourite acoustic passage from anyone ever would probably be the intro/outro of dirge for november. Within BWP, Patterns in the ivy is amazing as well. i dunno, im just in love with that particular album.

 

[extensive desolation]

excuse me but the best is on the song called Blackwater Park

Indeed! And, by quite a margin as well all so suddenly...


Also, I just had to note that the acoustic parts within "Demon of the Fall" and "The Amen Corner" of MAYH are of sheer excellence. Definitely my third choice of the five albums....(orchid and morningrise obviously at the top...)

Harvest is one that truly shines off of BWP, as well, acoustically...love the way it starts with the acoustic guitar....

 

[changso]

My vote goes for Morningrise which includes, IMO, the finest acoustic moments in music history...thanks to Black Rose Immortal and To Bid You Farewell. Anyway, I agree with Alcapoth about Orchid being their second best acoustic album.
