Well... I have to say I like all the opeth albums up to deliverance the same! cant pick a favorite.. I started with My arms your hearse.. got the first two next.. and bought the others when they came out! Never been disapointed with an opeth CD or SONG for that matter yet. I dont understand how an opeth fan couldnt like the first cd's.. they are masterpieces.. Like come on.. Morningrise.. not ONE song under 10 minutes.. now that rules. I think that some of you need to give your head a quick ( or possibly a real violent sitting of head shaking ) and listen to the first few cd's again! 
I wish they would play more songs off their old cd's live ahh well.. its a win win situation with Opeth..

ahh well.. its a win win situation with Opeth..Damn u right !
What about In Mist , Forest (1 time out of 50 they play that song hehe ) , Nectar , BRI ( Let me Dream plz ) or TBYFarewell.
However , I understand they (want to ? ) play more songs from the new records.
If they release a DVD , one day , I hope it'll include both old and new stuff in 2 different sets or a in a 4 hour one : The ultimate show

I would have to agree with you on this. I've listened to Morningrise since it was released, but only this week...while listening too it in my car did it truly send me reeling. The whole album just crept up and made so much sense. This kind of melancholic feeling tinged with anger yet it felt so lush...BRI sounded different for some reason, and I could finally, truly appreciate this song. It might of been my state of mind at the time and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get to that place again.

I feel that to truly understand Opeth's progression, you had to have experienced them in their proper order - that is, as they were being released. When Orchid first came out, there was nothing that you could really compare it to. Morningrise was a lot harder to get into (musically it's more dense,etc.) compared to the immediate catchiness of Orchid, but eventually it made sense. MAYH completely shattered my perception of Opeth and I thought it was over for them. Eventually, I saw the light
I think that it must be so very hard for a fan to understand the genius of Opeth's early material if they started with BWP or Deliverance. Say what you will, but us older fans had no other Opeth albums in our subconscious to cloud our judgement. Listening to Opeth backwards would be brutal IMO! I don't thinks would make sense if I heard Still Life before Orchid. Can you imagine a time when some of us were waiting for Opeth's new album after Morningrise and wonder what direction they'd go next?
In any case, even though I've been with Opeth since the very beginning, I'm thinking that BWP may be their most complete album (up to BWP, Morningrise was my favourite).

99% of people (in my experience) get into Morningrise FAR easier than Orchid - me included. I started with Blackwater Park, and I prefer all 4 which preceeded it (possibly excluding Orchid).
