My favourite band of all time alongside Pink Floyd! Great list! Finally someone acknowledges the greatness of the first two albums and also the newer ones! You just earned a new subscriber! Great work! #13 - Sorceress #12 - Heritage #11 - Pale Communion #10 - In Cauda Venenum #9 - Damnation #8 - Deliverance #7 - Orchid #6 - Morningrise #5 - My Arms, Your Hearse #4 - Blackwater Park #3 - Watershed #2 - Ghost Reveries #1 - Still Life
Lose the moustache and glasses and you are Gentle Giant...Good ranking, they are all interesting albums. I think Heritage was sort of weak along with Sorceress. It would be great to hear some remixes on some of the earlier albums (Arms/hearse and Blackwater in particular) . I'm excited to hear the new one !!! Loved the "In cauda..album.
I also like the Swedish version of In Cauda Venenum. I really feel that it being in Swedish gives it authenticity, considering it's their native language. It's something that I can't skip.
@RhymeSignatures agreed. I feel that bilinguality is uncommon in music, to my knowledge. Opeth is probably the most mainstream to have done it. I can only think of three other examples. These are: Coppelius - Abwarts Morlas Memoria - Mine of pictures Molllust - In deep waters All of these go between English and German in the tracks.
Opeth is my fav prog metal band...get to see them first time in Oct. 1. Ghost Rev. 2. Still Life 3. Blackwater Park 4. Watershed 5. Damnation 6. My Arms.... 7. Morningrise 8. In Cauda... 9. Deliverance 10. Orchid 10. Pale Communion 11. Sorcerer 12. Heritage
Opeth are my favorite band, so I’m with you about loving everything that they have done. But for me Orchid is the clear choice for my least favorite. And your top 4 would be the same as mine. I’d probably put Pale Communion at number 5, but by that point we are splitting hairs.
Man, I hated Heritage so much I basically stopped following the band and pretended Watershed was their last album. It took me years to give them another chance, but still - can't say I love their work post 2008.
Sorceress is my favourite Opeth album!! Will o the Wisp is the best song Jethro Tull never recorded, and the title track sits alongside "Square Hammer" as one of the most fun, catchy, heavy, riffy rock runes to be released in the 2010s
@RhymeSignatures no it's top 5 too. But damnation is also near the top! 90s Opeth is too death metal for me. I don't want to call it bad, I know it's great for what it is, but I just pass on the first three albums. Maybe one day I'll come around.
@RhymeSignatures top 5 I think is sorceress, Blackwater, pale communion, damnation, in cauda. But I haven't listened to Ghost reveries or watershed enough.
@@MusicVersa I maintain that Morningrise is worth the effort :) try Black Rose Immortal, the first couple of minutes are the endurance test, it opens up into a whole new world after that initial acerbic hit!
