Opeth's most entrancing album?

[E V I L]

I'd say Orchid without reservations.

For some reason, I have to be in a layed back mood in order to really enjoy this album. It's not to be grabbed and grasped by a criticizing and discerning mind. It's more like one of those melodic trips that seep and soak into the listener as it plays its magic. I love the lyrics too. "Open your soul/ Redeem, I am immortal" pure poetry.

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Orchid is my favorite album.

But I find Morningrise the most entrancing. Followed by Still Life.

MAYH and BWP are for going nuts to.. And hitting your head on things.

I get so immersed I come full circle and love to listen from 'In Mist She Was Standing' to 'Blackwater Park' (sure it takes half a day, but, what a way to spend it )

 

[MetalManCPA]

Good question.

I only answer BWP - because it has by far the most listeneing time to these ears. Each album has it's own quality - so I'll have to give a listen again to see where "entrancing" fits in with each album.

 

[Liquid Tension]

Still Life would be my answer and I would agree with Kushantaiidan about MAYH and BWP! When I'm looking to get pumped up I usually listen to one of those two!

Morningrise, its so twisty and well enchanting

Morningrise scares me sometimes

I am sworn to the oath... to breathe.

Orchid for me too.

The beautiful, winding, twisting melodies in Morningrise "entrance" me.

 

[bleedingskeptic]

morningrise for me, especially night and the silent water. that somg gives me chills its so good.

 

[Demonspell]

Morningrise is one that most fequently transports me to places within the mnd...whether my own imagination or the landscape of the songs. Still Life is also a great album to get lost in...

 

[D Mullholand]

Orchid, no doubt about that.

 

[Analog_Kid]

Morningrise for me. It reminds me of late October nights back home in the mountains, with the evening fog. Erie, yet beautiful. Threatening, yet with a sense of safety.

You probably won't be very surprise to know that I totally agree.

Morningrise first, and then Orchid. Opeth is still making good cd's with Still Life and BWP, but this new sound they have has got to go. I miss the sound on the first two cd's terribly.

 

[YaYo]

Orchid.

 

[BillowOfZeal]

entrancing?.....Morningrise for sure.

 

[Jayde]

Still Life. I can hardly move when it's on. It seems blasphemous to be doing anything else while listening to it.

 

[E V I L]

By entrancing, I really meant narcotic, or something along these lines.

Orchid's riffs reek of weed. (Say that ten times fast)

The other albums seem "sober" to me. When I listen to Orchid I experience a diminution of consciouness and just get "entranced" as if I'm high on weed. (Not that I've smoked lately)
