I'd represent Blackwater Park, Still Life or Ghost Reveries next. GR is probably the closest in style to Watershed, but BWP and SL are often  considered Opeth's creative pinnacle and are a must-listen for anyone that likes music in this style. Really, unless you don't pick up one of the first two albums (though they are pretty awesome as well, but they did take a long time to click) or Heritage (same thing, though it doesn't really have much in common with the classic Opeth sound), you'll be fine, though. Deliverance isn't an album that I'm quite fond of, but most people like it a lot, so don't take my word there.

I figure on getting Blackwater Park next. I saw it at the FYE I went to a couple weeks ago, but they had the Legacy Edition or something, and it was, like, $30. I can get cheaper on Amazon whenever I place my next order (i.e., when I have money).

You guys are all crazy, Morningrise is like one of the best albums of all time. Only 9/10 or 10/10 songs on that album imo. I also seem to rate Orchid much higher than most.

Sheeeeiiiiiiit! He's the first person to not have either Orchid or Morningrise in one of the bottom two spots. For that, he's absolved of any criticism whatsoever.

Rock on, ?  :metal

Dude, this is like the 7th or 8th post I've read from you in the last few days where I discovered we share the same unpopular opinion on DTF. Much love :floydapproves:

Nectar is criminally underrated and TNatSW is a top 5 song. Also, more people need to give The Twilight is My Robe some love. That Maidencore section at 5:44 is one of their best ever. Also, TAiT has a fantastic array of different moods and sections.

I. Still Life
II. Blackwater_floyd
III. Orchid

Watershed
My Arms, Your Hearse
Damnation

Morningrise
Orchid

Haven't listened to Morningrise or Orchid enough to make a definite statement, but my impressions so far haven't been very good. And My Arms, Your Hearse has been on the rise.

Orchid is great despite some clumsy transitions and IMSWS and Forest of October are top 15 Opeth songs for me. The acoustic sections on the album are also wonderful and arguably the best they've ever written. Hell, I think I should've ranked Orchid above Heritage! It was a bit hard to come up with a ranking because I haven't listened to Opeth much recently.

Morningrise is a good album as well, but I think they did the same style better on Orchid, and the album feels less balanced because there aren't shorter instrumentals serving as breathers between the epics.

If I saw them live, it would only be worth it if they played Ghost of Perdition, White Cluster, Hope Leaves, Deliverance, Harlequin Forest, and Blackwater Park at the same show.

Oh wait... THAT HAPPENED IN RALEIGH NC. :metal

(And every other show this tour. :P)

Yo I don't even know what to do... There has NOT been a single weak Opeth song thus far. Deliverance is on its way, so I'm excited to give that a listen too.


... This all makes me wonder what other poor decisions there are that I have made in my life...
