So Damnation is one of my top like 3 favorite albums of all time. I just love the vibe it gives off and his voice... brings tears to my eyes.

Then I threw on Watershed and its a pretty good album. Scares the shit out of me tho, the growls that come out of that mans mouth. I didn't think it was possible, even after seeing and hearing it live D: . Still a great album but I perfer Damnation and Heritage over watershed.

I guess Ghost Reveries is next. That will be for my next pay check!

Watershed is nuts. I love it. I hope you will enjoy GR.

Nice interview with Mikael

Not necessarily a lot of new information, but he talks in detail about his relationship with death metal and doing the growls. One of the things he said in Finnish at the end was "Do you want 200 kg of elk's shit?"

They had a 73-song setlist? Also, was TGC actually played twice or is that a typo?

It's just the band picking their fav videos. They sit and introduce clips and give you stories on the bands and songs and why they chose them, it's a really cool concept. The program usually starts around midnight and the band gets about 5 hours of clips. Not sure if the clip for TGC was shown twice or not, that's what was on the website but I won't know for myself until I sit down and watch.

Is Ghost Reveries as good as watershed?

Zydar · « **Reply #1066 on:** June 18, 2013, 12:39:36 AM »

I think Ghost Reveries is their best one, so yeah.

Mosh · « **Reply #1067 on:** June 18, 2013, 12:59:14 AM »

Nothing beats Ghost Reveries.

BlackInk · « **Reply #1068 on:** June 18, 2013, 02:00:26 AM »

Yeah, Ghost Reveries is probably the best one, followed by either Watershed or Blackwater Park.

Limelight · « **Reply #1069 on:** June 18, 2013, 04:29:42 AM »

Ghost Reveries gets my vote for the top spot as well. Fantastic album!

aprilethereal · « **Reply #1070 on:** June 18, 2013, 04:34:20 AM »

[IMO]

For to general metal standards, GR is pretty good. For Opeth standards, it's really weak.

Go on with one of their other albums.

[/IMO]

me7 · « **Reply #1071 on:** June 18, 2013, 04:43:21 AM »

IMO, ever since Opeth matured with My Arms, your Hearse/Still Life, they only had one weak album: Deliverance.

aprilethereal · « **Reply #1072 on:** June 18, 2013, 05:01:24 AM »

How the hell is GR better than Deliverance

?

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #1073 on:** June 18, 2013, 05:12:16 AM »

GR is also my favorite followed by Still Life but their every album is great IMO.

Still Life is their best album, Ghost Reveries would be nr2. Deliverance is awesome as well.

ariich · « **Reply #1076 on:** June 18, 2013, 07:39:14 AM »

It's that time again is it?

1. Blackwater Park
2. Ghost Reveries
3. Still Life
4. Damnation
5. Watershed
6. Heritage
7. My Arms, Your Hearse
8. Deliverance
9. Morningrise
10. Orchid

Very tough to make a list. The top 7 are all great!

me7 · « **Reply #1077 on:** June 18, 2013, 07:50:45 AM »

I almost agree with that list, but I would swap Orchid and Deliverance. I really, really like "In Mist she was standing".

With the exception of Morningrise and Orchid which I haven't heard, the rest of the list is EXACTLY like mine. Maybe I could consider swapping Ghost Reveries and Still Life depending on my mood, but that's nitpicking.

EDIT: Oops I'd place Watershed above Damnation, didn't notice that. Still close enough though.

first 6 are freaking awesome. 7 and 8 are very strong. 9 and 10 are really good, but suffer from the band not having perfected their smooth transitions between song sections.

2, 3 and 4 are so damn good they're practically interchangeable for me.

BlackInk · « **Reply #1083 on:** June 18, 2013, 09:15:47 AM »

Everyone seems to agree that Ghost Reveries is awesome.

I would post my list but I don't have it yet, I need to carefully evaluate each song first. I am working on it... Because I know you can barely wait.

10. Orchid

Everything is

, but the prog influence on the later albums is so awesome! I'm glad they're trying new things though, cause with Watershed I kinda felt that they had taken that style as far as it could go.
