I'll be getting Damnation possibly tomorrow. And next month, I'm thinking of getting either Ghost Reveries or Deliverance. So I thought I'd poll everybody here and see which Opeth is the most popular overall.

Although the only other album I've heard in full is Still Life (which is brilliant), Damnation actually spoke to my soul. So that it is.

For once, I'm glad Aaron doesn't post here anymore. :)

Morningrise. It's the first one I ever heard from them, and it's just insanely beautiful. Still Life is an amazing album as well. Don't get Ghost Reveries until you have the rest of the discography though. It's pretty good, but not an essential release. They have far beeter albums than that one.

Where's the option "none"? Opeth is shit, complete wankery. The songs have no flow, they sound like 2 minutes songs copied onto the end of the other. It's not complex, its just random. Among random shit bands like themselves, Opeth is the ony one that manages to be predictable with their hard-soft-brutal-clean build up. Fuck Opeth.

Blackwater Park. It's the first one I heard, and the one that made me fall in love with them. I still get raptures when Akerfeldt switches to clean vocals on the "Devious movements in your eyes..." part on "Bleak."

I have to say that I think this band and Avenged Sevenfold were spewed forth from the bloated carcass of impropriety and trite wankery. That is all.

How's avenged sevenfold any gayer than the female shit your're going on about in the alt. forum? At least it's metal! Noodles is Holy_Terror compared to you.

Yay for noodles.

At least my stuff has women singing the soft stuff. Yours has men singing! Now who's more homosexual?

Edit: what's the sexuality matter? Sex, sex, sex, that's all you kids think about. There's more talent in Sarah McLachlan's little finger than there is in whatever the idiot who sings for A7X's name is entire geneology.

A tie between Morningrise & My Arms, Your Hearse. But I voted Morningrise.

I used to think Still Life was one of the best albums ever but since I heard Ghost Reveries like a year ago my interest in Opeth has really dulled a lot. They need to switch ideas faster, my ADD brain gets bored :(

Still Life is still their best though, or tied with My Arms Your Hearse

I'm glad my name is being used as an insult now... :cry:
