Just that: which Opeth album rips your fucking heart out, by just sheer emotional intensity?
For me, My Arms, Your Hearse is the only answer. Especially at this point in life. If I listen to this album as I'm going to bed, I WILL cry -- even to things like 'Prologue'. The lyrics, the rage, the longing, the despair... sometimes it's scary how much I identify with this album. Songs like Karma kill me, even parts like, 'The cold season drift over the land/They all huddle in the brown corners/Some would settle for less/The castles were all empty, asleep/Long awaiting their king/Beckoning 'round the bend'. And the scream at the end. I don't know, just a brutally personal album for me. So that's my choice.
