***NOTE: This is an opinion and everything is listed based on my own preferences. Feel free to disagree and tell me what your favorite Opeth albums are from best to worst.***

01. Blackwater Park

It would be nearly impossible to list any other album as #1 given that Blackwater Park is widely considered one of the best metal albums of all time regardless of genre. This is also the perfect place to describe what Opeth has historically offered as a musical entity and why it is worth delving deeply into their music catalog. Blackwater Park has all of the elements Opeth is known for: brutal death growls, soothing clean vocals, heavy, dense atmospheres seamlessly flowing into light, airy instrumentals. You never know what to expect from one moment to the next and that has always been one of the most exciting parts of any Opeth album.

1. Opeth - Blackwater Park

2. Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse

3. Opeth - Still Life

4. Opeth - Watershed

5. Opeth - Morningrise

This list is my own personal favorite albums of all-time, which will more than likely differ from the opinions of others. I'm only doing 1 album per band, otherwise this would be "My Personal Top 10 Dream Theater Albums". This list could be updated in the event that an incredibly good album is released in the future.

1. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

2. Gojira - From Mars To Sirius

3. Opeth - Blackwater Park

4. Insomnium - Winter's Gate

5. Agalloch - The Mantle

1. Opeth - Blackwater Park

2. Negură Bunget - OM

3. Agalloch - The Mantle

4. Opeth - My arms, your Hearse

Like my other genre-based lists, this exists purely for my own organizational purposes and not to provide a definitive statement about or guidebook to the thrash genre. I'm aware that there are gaps and, more importantly, things you don't agree with. If you're dying to ask why I love Gama Bomb so much and why I can't spare two minutes for Destruction, Annihilator, Tankard, etc., then please go do it somewhere else as I haven't the time to clean up after you. I will, however, accept criticism for the lack of Coroner and Voivod.

1. Slayer - Reign In Blood

2. Gama Bomb - Citizen Brain

3. Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss

4. Metallica - Ride The Lightning

5. Artillery - By Inheritance
