Deliverance, purely for Deliverance...13 minutes of bliss!

...i'm starting to get into opeth, i already heard all their albums and they're quite interesting...until now, i think blackwater park, ghost reveries and damnation are the best albums...voted for blackwater park btw

It has been difficult to choose between Blackwater Park, Still life, Morningrise and Ghost Reveries. All these are great masterpieces, though the remaining are also smashing -in literal sense-. Watershed will be added to my list of choice as well. I voted for Ghost Reveries, since I noticed a bit of innovation, a twist for the better that I did not see in the previous albums -just for that- and personally I had only Still life until 2 years ago. I decided to have more Opeth works just after a friend "lent" Ghost Reveries to me.

Still Life. It was my first Opeth CD and has very good highs and lows in it which every Opeth album needs

I had to choose Still Life, when I first heard the transition in The Moor.. there was no turning back. Though I concer, it is a hard choice, Amazing band, fucking sick songs.. Opeth are God.

Blackwatter park .... as strange !! you see on statistics


Blackwater Park 58
Ghost Reveries 24
Still Life 21
Morningrise 16
My Arms, Your Hearse 12
Deliverance 12
Damnation 9
Orchid 7

Total votes: 159

Ouch tough one...
My Arms, Your Hearse is my winner, the other ones have the same level for me.

Which one isn't great? I guess with Opeth most people choose their favorite album due to some emotional reasons... hard to explain, but well, I guess I can't choose yet since I hasn't listened to their old stuff enough.

7 for Orchid is not bad considering what the other albums have to offer.

7 (now 8) for Orchid is ABSOLUTELY BAD considering what the other albums (and this one) have to offer.

I disagree with you. But tha'ts ok.

I completely agree/disagree with you.

I agree that every album on this poll deserve the votes that they already have, so I don't think it's a shame.

But I think that Orchid deserves more attention.

Yes, it deserves more attention, it's underrated, that's why 7/8 is not bad you see, given the fact that it is underrated.

But I get your point.

On the opposite, Blackwater Park gets too much attention. IMO it's not their best album and CERTAINLY it doesn't deserve such many votes more than all th others. You see in this thread BP > Still Life + MAYH + Morningrise.

Yeah.. that was what I thought.
But anyway, I dio understand the others since Blackwater Park being an awesome album... just can't match the first four.

The new one... Watershed

Every night I go to sleep to deliverance! its so peace full it puts me to sleep.
But when im awake my favorite is between 3; Blackwater Park, Still life, or Watershed!
All that matters is OPETH FUCKING RULES!!!!!

Blackwater park is my favourites,i think more complete,and have a great songs...

I think your thinking of Damnation, thats the peaceful boring one, Deliverance is pretty heavy and fast.

I can listen to every Opeth album before falling asleep. Deliverance is for me a very good one. Probably my favorite Opeth album when it comes to music before sleeping.

I've already said "Blackwater Park" and I still think so, no doubt. My entire list would probably look like this:

Blackwater Park (Always... always...)
My Arms, Your Hearse (Just brilliant, a great mix of the crushing and beautiful Opeth.)
Morningrise (Probably shares the second place, a progressive monster.)
Orchid (I just love the darkness here and Opeth really nailed it on their first attempt.)
Damnation (Maybe the most beautiful album I've ever heard.)
Watershed (A big surprise after the (for being Opeth) boring Ghost Reveries. A mix of "Blackwater Park" and "My Arms, Your Hearse" to my ears.)
Still Life ("The Moor" and "Benighted" is some of the best they've done, the rest is solid Opeth all the way, but it does not really stand out.)
Deliverance (Great album but I don't really see any reason listening to it when I have the others above.)
Ghost Reveries (Good album, no doubt. Some awesome songs. But not many, the rest is good but does not hold the Opeth standard.)

I quite agree with the list. Except that Blackwater Park would be in the 5th place... MAYH, Morningrise, Orchid and Still life... those albums are the best Opeth ever IMO.

That would be awesome... a DVD from the Still Life tour or something like that.

Dream on guys... aha

But you have to admit that one DVD like that would kick ass.
And also the fact that you [like us] will go insane saying "OMG... I must buy that thing!!!"

Well I would definately buy that thing! We should have DVDs for each individual albums too.

If there be such DVD I dont kno, I cantw atch it on PC and TV I dunno, I tryd watch concerts sometime sits boring, and Opeth its only band who's DVD I had seen more how one time, my good(or maybe ex friend, dunno) owns it and its good, but I vant kudge because its only one wht I had seen

Damnation is the most atmospheric album of Opeth..i want to be buried with this album in my arms..
in fact all the Opeth albums are great! it's so diffucult to choose one of them..
