Bullshit. You don't know the first thing about production or sound or anything so stfu. The production is excellent - far better than any of their previous works besides BWP.
Indeed. Ghost of Perdition and Grand Conjuration are both awesome as well.
Yeah. Ghost Reveries is fucking amazing. Opeth are far better now than they were before. They are for well written songs, not underground bullshit.
Stormwatch
Cock.
Deliverance is clearly the best you bastards. It's the ONLY one that's mostly as heavy as fuck. The rest have too many gay slow parts, especially BWP which has some incrdible riffage.
Damnation is a piece of crap. It's neither "prog" or "a good album". It's shite. As is that Lamentations DVD. Fucking rubbish.
As for GR? Words can't express what a piece of dog shit that is. No wonder the guitarist quit, he's gone from playing some nice heavy death/black stuff to playing commercialised pop pish and it clearly annoyed him. Opeth are, and always will be, a band people will enjoy for a short while, before realising they're actually pretty boring.
The fact Mikael now wants them to become some poor prog rock band from the 70's just makes them even more laughable. At least Deliverance sounded like metal.

You are talking shite, and are clearly a keyboard loving arse. Ghost Reveries is a crap album. If you want to hear proper prog rock listen to Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" or "A Passion Play", not Ghost Reveries. That's just shit.

I like Ghost Reveries. Well, half of it. The slow songs are sloooooow and for some reason, dragging the end of songs out too goddamn fucking long seems to have been quite popular on the album.
'Fuck yeah, 2 minutes of the same monotonous looping piece of shit boredom inducing song killing crap!'
But anyway, My Arms Your Hearse is my favourite one. I really am not fond of acoustic stuff, the song writing for me seems completely boring apart from the couple on Still Life. Also, there's too many pointless acoustic bits in Blackwater Park - Harvest bores me, that stupid thing at the end of Dirge For November gets on my nerves and that damn stupid over-extended quiet bit at the start of Blackwater Park is needlessly long.
Damn, I ranted.

you're a fucking idiot. Opeth's production on morningrise was fucking perfect. Very natural sounding, but still very clear. It allowed opeth to convey that bleak atmosphere
it's impossible to convey bleak atmosphere in a sea of digital perfection like ghost reveries.
the songwriting is very average on it anyways. It has nowhere near the impact or the depth of the first 4 albums

"Demon of the Fall" was one of the first metal songs I've ever heard. Must have been 4 or 5 years ago I heard it. The song scared me at the time but I was equally intrigued.

Um yeah Passion Play is one of my favorite albums of all time you jackass.
1. Morningrise's production was crap.
2. The songwriting was excellent, you have no idea what you're talking about.
3. You cannot call anyone a fucking idiot as you are the biggest one on this board.

All of their albums bore me now, I used to love Opeth but they got old on me. My favorite atm is Ghost Reveries so if you consider the certain time peroid for me then Ghost Reveries is my favorite. My past favorite from Opeth although was Still Life but it gets old. I only picked Ghost Reveries cause it's the one that hasn't aged as fast as the others.
Ghost Reveries, Orchid, and Blackwater Park are the only albums I've really listened to so I can't really give a vote. I'm really only a 'casual fan' I do check them out from time to time, and enjoy them. I do have all their albums downloaded though, just need to give the others a listen.

No, that was a completely valid point. Keys=/=ebow. The ebow on BWP created a great atmosphere and gave the album a unique sound (see The Drapery Falls, brilliant use of ebow). The keys sound like the keys in every other band with keys nowadays. I remember finding GR to be a good album on the first five or so listens, but there was nothing there that made me want to come back to it after a week or two. I probably haven't listened to that album since '05. BWP and MR are albums with staying power. Even in the last year I've listened to those albums at least monthly, when I've had both since '02 or '03. They are both in my top 10 favorites ever, even though I may have worn them out a little.
