Opeths most progressive album?

[Russell]

Well?

Oh yeah, another point. I was listening to tubular bells the other day, and after finding out what it meant, I would class this as very progressive. Would u? (and I'd like to point out that tubular bells 2 is almost identical in most places to the original )

 

[Kushantaiidan]

definately morning rise. no riff is repeated twice in that album.

 

[Johan]

All of them are darn progressive in my ears

BWP isn't in my mind. I'd have to say MAYH or mornigrise. I don't know orchid that well yet

 

[Demonspell]

Morningrise, no question...

 

[Alucard]

hmmm... I would probably have to say MAYH followed very closely by Morningrise.

 

[_Transparent_]

yeah i'd have to say Morningrise, so many twists and turns.

Dumb question from a stupid person: What does progressive mean?

Hehe, I asked that (I'm assuming ur not being sarcastic, u can't tell when its written )

 

[Morningrise]

Why do you say Morningrise, just because it dosn't have any repeated riffs? I don't follow that logic....
Yes, probably the most definative Progressive band, has many repeated riffs. It is not all about the music being complex, I don't think. I would have to say that My Arms Your Hearse is the most progressive, close to Blackwater Park. I say this because the two albums seem to have the element of atmosphere, and feeling of a progressive group. Morningrise is a very progressive album, but less so in my opinoin than the two I stated.

I've make an error: "a fine day to exit" is not similar at "the silent enigma"...
you have a good eye!!

 

[brightoffski]

They are all so progressive, but MAYH is simply amazing in this respect. What a journey.

Still Life.

As for 'Morningrise ! No riff is ever repeated twice !' - sorry, but what does it have to do with progressiveness ?

My Arms, Your Hearse.

Next question?

BWP

Because it is their latest album, and they have progressed to this point. I sense people don't like BWP as well as their earlier works, so I'll go against the grain. I feel that with most good bands, their most recent album is their most progressive, because somehow, all of the earlier albums had something to do with the newest one.

This theory only works for true musicians, not for a lot of the "other" music that is out there today.

 

[Klaha]

Hmm Morningrise...but it's not my favourite.

I wouldn't say Blackwater Park is overly progressive, in Opeth terms anyway.

 

[Russell]

I think what he was getting at is that seeing no riff was repeated, the music was constantly moving on, so no riffs needed to be rpeated - therefore it is progressive
