What Opeth Album Should I Get Next?

[JackLopezZavala]

I have Watershed only so far, and have decided I want to get 2 more Opeth albums. I know I wanna get Still Life for sure, but for the other one, I can't choose between Damnation and Ghost Reveries...Which is the the better album, in your opinion? Thanks for the help.

Blackwater Park. Otherwise choose Ghost Reveries. Both will for sure please you. Keep in mind that this is all very different from Watershed.

 

[JackLopezZavala]

I don't mind different, as long as it's good different! haha

So, GR instead of Damnation?

 

[Nasty-Fire]

Yes. My best advice would be to buy them all, but start with Ghost Reveries, or if you like calm stuff then take Damnation. Hours of Wealth, which is on Ghost Reveries, could have been on it in my opinion. You'll see (hear).

 

[JackLopezZavala]

Ok! I'll check them out! Thanks for the help.

Better? these are two different albums with different vibes, thus you can't compare them. One is mellow with 70s rock influences and the other is heavier and darker i think. Get either Ghost Reveries or one of the two first albums to see the progression of their work over their career

 

[lammoth]

just go backwards, GR, Damnation, Deliverance, BWP and so on.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Still Life is their best representation so far.

Does he have another choice ? like going forward?

 

[Space Butler]

I found that GR was the easiest Opeth album for me to listen to.

 

[Åndrija]

Get Ghost Reveries, and after that I would recommend Still Life.

 

[Metahead]

I'd get Still Life and Damnation. those are my two next. I also only have Watershed. I'll get BWP after those.

Blackwater Park. Otherwise choose Ghost Reveries. Both will for sure please you. Keep in mind that this is all very different from Watershed.

good advice. id say the same.

 

[Lateralus14]

If you like Watershed, skip Still Life till later and get Ghost Reveries and Damnation

 

[wut wut]

Get Ghost Reveries and Blackwater Park.

Ghost Reveries and Deliverance if you won't budge from your preset selection.

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

You can't go wrong with Damnation. Everyone has a hard on for Blackwater Park but I find quite a bit of it to be filler.

In fact, return that copy of Watershed so you can get it last and say you only got it to finish the collection. It's what a tr00 fan would do.
