This is the first album that I could potentially rank since I know it, unlike the previous three.

Yep, me too. And from what it looks like, my list is going to be completely different from what's been posted thus far.

Quote from: Xanthul on August 17, 2012, 02:20:18 AM

However, Still Life has always been kind of a whole thing for me

Me too. Okay, to the list!

Serenity Painted Death
White Cluster
Moonlapse Vertigo
Godhead's Lament
The Moor
Face of Melinda
Benighted

Quote from: Xanthul on August 17, 2012, 02:20:18 AM

This is such a hard album to rank, it's incredibly consistent. It's definitely one of those cases in which ranking a song last doesn't mean anything because they are all excellent.

Bingo, completely agreed.

I just got Still Life earlier this week and I've only listened to it twice so I'm sure my rankings will change. I can't believe I held off on getting it for so long!

1. Face of Melinda
2. The Moor
3. Godhead's Lament
4. Benighted

GOOD QUESTION.

Sketchy · « **Reply #153 on:** August 18, 2012, 02:23:23 AM »

Moonlapse Vertigo has one of my favourite Opeth riffs in it. It's one of the first songs from Still Life that I actually learned the title of (which means it is one of the ones which stood out first)

pain of occupation · « **Reply #154 on:** August 18, 2012, 02:47:18 AM »

i cant believe how poorly White Cluster is doing!!

The Moor, Godhead's Lament, and White Cluster could all make my all time top 10 Opeth songs. maybe even my top 5. and on a good day (for Still Life), maybe even my top 3!

Feces of Melinda also owns. and Benighted is decent for what it is.

For some reason, i could never fully embrace the other two tracks...maybe they were the My Farms,Your Horse hangovers of the album.

i'd never thought of that before. that's actually one of the reasons i like "Serenity" so much!

Blackwater Park ranking time!

1. Bleak
2. Patterns in the Ivy
3. The Leper Affinity
4. Dirge For November
5. The Funeral Portrait
6. Blackwater Park
7. Harvest
8. The Drapery Falls

Interview with Mike from somewhere between 08.02.12 and 08.04.12 about upcoming stuff. Not very informative or earthshattering but fuck it it's all we got right now.

Blackwater Park

Interesting that floydie and I have TLA and TFP ranked in the same spot.

Edit: Now, like my rankings for Still Life, just because I have a song ranked last/close to last doesn't mean jack shit. I LOOOOOOOOVE Blackwater Park. Like SRSLY - BWP, Ghost Reveries and Still Life all flip flop around in my Top 3 Opeth albums constantly.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #160 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:11:47 PM »

I'll bet my My Two Dads DVDs that no one ranks PiTI higher than I did.

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #161 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:13:29 PM »

You're probably right about that.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #162 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:15:21 PM »

I'll probably never believe that anything other than its short run time is the reasoning for its constant low ranking

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #163 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:17:26 PM »

Did you catch the edit on my post? Last ranking don't mean shit to me, as it's on a fucking stellar album.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #164 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:20:40 PM »

Actually my gripe was with the consensus. I had focused more on your higher rankings when I first read it.

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #165 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:23:47 PM »

Whoops.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #166 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:43:44 PM »

No probs since it was clearly addressing a group to which your opinion was a part of but not at all relative to your post specifically.

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #167 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:52:59 PM »

I'm too paranoid as it is, so thanks.

Does anyone know what Mikael says at the beginning of Demon of The Fall?

It has always sounded like DROWN YOU BEGGAR to me.

it's a backwards bit of a demo yet unused/heard beyond the intro. he's so muffled in the trve cvlt demo production that i doubt anyone could hear proper words, even with his well-defined growl!

Patterns in the Ivy is awesome; probably my 4th favorite tune on BWP behind Bleak, The Drapery Falls and Bleak.

Leper Affinity, Funeral Portrait, and Harvest are in the "muddy, undecided middle" even though they're all fantastic songs.

I'm interested in what you think of the whole album since you always make intriguingly structured arguements to express your points of view. Try to post a full ranking if you'd care to.
