Opeth recommendations

s0l

A friend of mine recently lent me a copy of Deliverance. It rocked my pants majorly, and I was hoping that if there are any Opeth fans in the forum if they could recommend the next one I should try and get my hands on...

Blackwater Park would be suitable. I do not have Deliverance, so I'm not too sure what that sounds like but most people I know that has heard Blackwater Park thinks its brilliant.

I'd actually say Deliverance is their poorest effort. Although with that said, it is a brilliant album, and better than anything most bands have ever put out in their lifetime. But it's just not the best Opeth have to offer.

Blackwater Park is indeed a masterpeice.
But I find that people often overlook their earlier albums.
So check out Orchid, and Morningrise.
Absolute masterpeices.

damnation is fairly brilliant, it's more acoustic than you'd expect like it's not as hard as opeth would be but it's a fantastic album

still life is an all t ime favourite of mine

Morning rise is prob their most acclaimed album

Blackwater park is instantly enjoyable


basically they are all brilliant, buy em all! it doesnt matter which one you buy

Cheers for the advice.

hehe i had Blackwater Park and wanted to get another album and was gonna post askin which i should get next, but wasnt arsed...

anyway i got Morning Rise, which is kick-ass but not as good as Blackwater Park. Whats the next to get, Orchid?

Mystic Fibrosis

I suppose I should say My Arms Your Hearse because you've seen me walking around with the t-shirt....but it has Madrigal & The Amen Corner on it, which both rock, so yeah, gettage.

I'd say get them all, but if I had to choose one, it would be Orchid.

Then again, Still Life is very overlooked, and I probably listen to it once every two days on average..

mystic: dont forget demon of the fall! ass kicking track!

i love still life, i think its an amazing album!

apparently they're coming back again before the end of the year to support damnation (which is mega!), that'll be 3 times then! yay!

s0l

heheh, I checked and there's only one of their albums that you guys didnt recommend. I'll take that as a very good sign

nosmo

Ok, then get Damnnation as well :P It's very good, much more melodious and mellow than the other cd's

but don't let that put you off

SOme of Opeths best songs are melodic, so definately buy

To Bid You Farewell would be one of my favourite opeths songs and its very mellow... for the first 8minutes or so anyway.
