Opeth / Enslaved: Which is your favourite?

[Sadguru]

Chances are that Opeth will get more votes, but I'm curious...

 

[opeth_353]

I'd probably put Enslaved on over Opeth, so i voted for Enslaved.

 

[Graft]

where's the shit thread option?

 

[cheechonaleash]

Both bands are personal favourites... but I chose Opeth.

 

[i aint play this]

Opeth for me...Enslaved is pretty damn incredible but overall Opeth wrote some untouchable songs

 

[Tubbs]

Enslaved, by a small margin. Dammit, why make a thread that makes my brain hurt like this?

 

[Lothlorien]

opeth. enslaved is probably in my top 5 favorite bands, but opeth is #1.

 

[Pethical]

you are asking this on an opeth forum....

 

[all_sins_undone]

right now, enslaved.

 

[opeth_353]

I think what Enslaved are doing now is far more interesting than what Opeth has done more recently. I think Opeth's earlier material is better than Enslaved's earlier material.. But the last 4 Enslaved albums are only equalled by MAYH and Still Life for me.

If i had to choose which album i would listen to between MAYH and Monumension.. It'd be a tough choice, that could sway either way depending on which i had listened to the most/last and my general mood.. But yeh, right now i'd listen to Monumension.

My thoughts exactly.

Good poll IMO, Opeth will probably win (this being the Opeth forum and all) but it's not an easy choice.

As for me, I've been listening to Enslaved more lately, but Opeth still wins out. I've always preferred death metal to black metal, and even though both are pretty far from their root genres, I just get more into Mike's vox

 

[WTF555666]

I went with Opeth only becuase I've heard all of their cds and liked them, but I still find Enslaved very interesting.

 

[in_absentia]

well Enslaved is most definetly winning by a long shot

 

[Alex78]

Opeth

I agree that Enslaved's last 2 records are better than D1/D2 and GR, but in general I prefer Opeth because they're more melodic, have better solos and vocals

 

[Dalkaen]

At this point, I'd probably say Enslaved.. But that may be because they're a newer favorite. I've listened to Opeth more overall.

 

[My Arms, Your Purse]

enslaivd fo sho

 

[beast from the east]

Opeth tops everyone, but Enslaved is close behind.

 

[Pethical]

well Enslaved is most definetly winning by a long shot

err actually its 80% vs 20%, its just the enslaved fans that are being most vocal.
