I quite like the way Master's Apprentices was written. Love the lyrics. And the first riff kicks ass.

evad_lhorg

id disagree with that. i thought the main lyrics and riff were real cheesy or somethin. the rest of the song kicks ass.

What about the entire My Arms, Your Hearse album? Sings all linked by the last words of song being name of next song, and the album telling a story, and the fact that its just beautiful, and the fact that this is just rambling now!

I don't know how I could answer that... Well, I voted Bleak, because I love to play that song myself... But Opeth are possibly one of the most consistent bands there is, I'd dare say they've not put a foot wrong, bar deliverance.

A best Opeth album poll might've been better.

I would have went for 'advent' had it been there, but alas, 'A Fair Judgement' comes a close second, with bleak close behind that. 'Serenity Painted Death' deserve's a mention too tho I think.

evad_lhorg

believe me there was a load more i could've put in but it aonly allowed 10. I thought long and hard but i thought that the ones i chose were best written.


Karl Hungus: yea i agree about the deliverance thing. I think the first and last song let it down.

SO many, my personal No.1 is Advent, but very close behind is Nectar, Black Rose Immortal, Godheads Lament, The Moor, Serenity Painted Death, Bleak, Blackwater Park, Harvest, Ending Credits, Moonlapse Vertigo, In The Mist She Was Standing, Closure..... theyre all so amazingly written...

Can't forget White Cluster, the first solo still raises the hairs on my neck when I hear it
