Two questions....

1.In your opinion what is Opeth's least accesible album and why

2. Which is their most different from all the others and why?

I was thinking when I waslistening toOrchid how I found it so much harder to get into than anyof their others, to me it doesn't flow as well as the others and doesn't really feel like a single album kinda thing, so IMO that makes it the most different as well.

BWP is the hardest to get into for me, don't really know why though. Orchid is probably their most different, I've been listening to it a lot lately, it's such a great CD, I love the apostle in triumph!

1. I would have to say all and all My Arms Your Hearse is the hardest to get into, its the heaviest album and has fewer clean vocals it seems and it doesn't have as many sweeping Opeth solos. It is my 2nd favorite album though. But for someone who doesn't listen to metal it would probaly be to much (except Credence) . My Arms Your Hearse takes time to absorb and grow on you. Well, it did for me.

2 Blackwater park seems the most different to me. It got a different vibe or something. The riffs seem more cacthy. Plus that dude from Porcupine Tree singing and helping produce it changed things quite a bit.

I thought it had quite a few - to me Orchid has the least clean vocals by far! It may be just that I don't know it so well, but I can only think of 3 or 4 clean vocals sections

1. Orchid - maybe because thats the first album i heard, and it took me a while to get into...

2. MAYH - Dont know why....Orchid and Morningrise are kinda the same, Still life and BWP are kinda the same, and MAYH stays alone in the middle, cant explain exactly why it is different for me

1. Orchid
2. Morningrise

1. The "Whateverrise" album.
2. Probably "Blackwater Park", but I think in the end the most different one will be the 7th (the one after the double album).

1: bwp - hasn't settled in quite yet.

2: mayh - heavy production sound compared to the others.
