On behalf of the facebook chat crowd, lolmetallica.

I will kill you all.

I will call you out from shelter
Burn your wings and learn their letters
I will call you out from shelter
Burn your wings you'll know no better?

Speaking of which that album had better be in your top 50.

I wouldn't put it near my top 849 albums.

It takes time to adjust to that vocal style, but it's sooooooo worth it. That album is so good.

I do need to give it a chance. I gave Blackwater Park a chance and have fallen in love with it. I do still have to "endure" the cookie monster. Mikael is a great singer though.

zxlkho · « **Reply #143 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:43:40 PM »

He's easily one of the best "cookie monster" vocalists out there. Soon you will know...

Some great albums so far

Kosmo · « **Reply #145 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:03:29 PM »

Opeth is pretty good i hear. I've never listened to anything from them i think..

Listen to the song "Ghost of Perdition." It's pretty good at representing them as a whole. It's actually the song that really got me into them.

Come on man, you know my opinion on Coheed.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #148 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:34:44 PM »

Obviously not. I would remember blasphemy on THAT level.

zxlkho · « **Reply #149 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:35:23 PM »

You'll see.

>Ryan mentions his Coheed opinions
>Matt refers to them as "blasphemous"
>Not talking about me
>wtf?

Edit: Also, Kosmo, Ryan is correct. Ghost of Perdition is the song you need to listen to if you've never heard Opeth before.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #151 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:40:30 PM »

I'd say The Moor is the ideal starting song actually, but that's just me.

Gadough · « **Reply #152 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:42:36 PM »

That would also be a good choice.

mizzl · « **Reply #153 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:47:10 PM »

Or Blackwater Park

In all seriousness, Ghost of Perdition, the Moor or Drapery Falls is probably the best starting point.

Gadough · « **Reply #154 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:48:33 PM »

Add Deliverance to that list and you've got the Top 4 Opeth songs.

zxlkho · « **Reply #155 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:49:09 PM »

LOLno

mizzl · « **Reply #156 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:50:51 PM »

Harlequin Forest > Blackwater Park > Baying of the Hounds > Ghost of Perdition

Although Still Life has the best flow as an album.

Ħ · « **Reply #158 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:52:45 PM »

Fear of a Blank Planet is such a great album. PT was able to take metal and turn it into something very psychedelic and atmospheric. I know people say they compromised their sound, but I think it's incredibly innovative.

I agree with you.

Godhead's Lament as your favorite Opeth song is such a hipster trend.

Oooops.

Don't mind me, just breaking everything.

zxlkho · « **Reply #166 on:** June 07, 2011, 03:19:47 PM »

Fuck you all, fuck you. I don't care.

33.   Ulver – Perdition City (2000):
I’m still not sure what genre I’d label this album. Maybe “trip hop”, maybe just “ambient electronic.” That’s the reason I like this album so much. It’s just so different from everything else, including everything else this band has done. Garm’s vocals (when they actually show up on this album) are fantastic and are usually the highlight.
Best songs: Hallways of Always, Lost in Moments, The Future Sound of Music

32.   Pink Floyd – Animals (1977):
inb4Zack. This album is just fantastic. Every second of Dogs and Pigs is just utter brilliance. I first heard Pink Floyd a little over a year ago, and it was this album. While I still haven’t heard all of their material, this is clearly their best album from my perspective. I don’t think anything can top it (though Wish You Were Here came close…)
Best songs: Dogs, Pigs (Three Different Ones)

31.   Oceansize – Everyone Into Position (2005):
As I was getting into Oceansize, I considered this their weakest record, then Seth showed me the live video of “Ornament/The Last Wrongs” from Feed to Feed. That video seems to convert everyone into Oceansize fans immediately. Anyway, this album is solid from start to finish, and Ornament/The Last Wrongs is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Best songs: Ornament/The Last Wrongs, Heaven Alive, Music For a Nurse.

Everyone Into Position and Perdition City are way too low for my taste, but hey.. at least they're on the list.
