Hey I'd just like to know which one of these 2 albums I should buy first. I'm on a budget so don't tell me to get both

Thx in advance.

Get both...or Damnation if you want some brutal Opeth

Get MAYH, imo this album is better than Still life...

 

[AsModEe]

^^ that is what I did

 

[Towedwart]

Still Life.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Still Life. In fact, you should leave MAYH for last, because it's their least good.

 

[Tubbs]

^ It definitely isn't their "least good".

^ wurd.

tbph, MAYH is fantastic, but Still Life is a personal favourite and not necessarily the better of the two for both are quite possibly equally as good as one another.

btw, jk, fruityhog!

 

[biggsy]

Pick the one with the coolest cover. They're both equally as awesome.

 

[Nichtsicher]

MAYH.

It has Credence lawl

 

[tchocky]

Personally, I'd go for Still Life. But both are fantastic albums.

I think Still Life is a much better album. Not that MAYH is bad in any way - in fact it's an awesome album, I just liked the music in Still Life better. I also have a tough time listening to MAYH because the sound of the guitars is pretty strange

 

[Mantraschism]

'My Arms, Your Hearse' is Opeth's best album. So, yeah.

 

[My Arms, Your Purse]

MAYH obv. see my name

 

[Serhan_pnr]

still life!! without hesitation..

 

[opethpainter]

hey buy both and let's lock this thread

They're two completely different albums. Both brilliant in their own right. They just have two completely different vibes. I think Still Life has a certain sense of urgency about it. It's very compelling to listen too. MAYH has a really laid back and mournful feel to it. It's one of those albums where if you're listening to it for the first time, you wouldn't think twice about listening to the same song three or four times in a row before playng the next track.
