palmer_eldritch Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I hadn't heard Opeth before Donington where they totally blew me away. I've been downloading music and i seem to love it all.The songs i liked most during the Opeth set was the quite spacey ones with the Sitar effects, and there was one with a really great, long, instrumental outro which blew me away totally.Giving i like those type of songs the most by them, what album would anyone recommend for me? I don't know what period of Opeth im into the most. btw, listening to black rose immortal right now and its totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.Borlax Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 still life and morningrise are probally my favesbut i also love damnation and orchid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I would DEFINITELY suggest you get "Blackwater Park". It's amazing, and the song with the long ending that you say is possibly "The Drapery Falls" on that album - one of my favourite songs ever. (however most Opeth songs have long instrumental outro's so I'm probably wrong - still, great song)It's funny Mr R. Borlax because my three favourite Opeth albums are Blackwater ParkDeliveranceMy Arms Your HearseIn that order - which are the three you didn't mention.

R.Borlax Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 black water park is allright, i liked it more when it first got itdeliverance never really did anything for meand my arms your hearse is beautiful but it was the only album i played by them for nearly a yeari guess you wasnt disapointed with the choice they made on the dvd?im glad they did some damnation and black water parkbut they cant just forget the other 4 great albumsblah blah *fingers bleed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big improvement between "Morningrise" and "Hearse" in production especially.I really think Mikael Akerfeldt uses such amazing subtle layering on the later material which I think makes the songs sound huge.

R.Borlax Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 id like to hear his song "i hate hip hop" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGEL O' DEATH Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 the song deliverance is awsome!!the drum beat it goes into around the second half of the song which is also shown on the dvd is quality... i try to play it on my kit all the time but can never get the symbol actions correct.Although thats prob cause i'm not the best at the drums only have a hi-hat and a ride, not like 6 crashes, 3 rides, 4 splash etc etc..... back to the pointwith great bands like opeth i can never give my favourite album or song cause they change constantly, one week i will like one and the next week i'll like another.I'm just an indecisive bastard..... I like Damnation alot, and i also agree with dans point about later productionOrchid is also one i particularly enjoy at the mo......

ANGEL O' DEATH Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Mikael states himself that orchid was their most creative period...tis quite an album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer_eldritch Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I've heard Drapery Falls, and i don't think thats it. It has a sitar effect of some kind, i'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer_eldritch Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 just remembered it was the song they played before Demon of the fall. i.e. their second last. Anyone remember which song that was? Pretty sure it wasn't Drapery Falls, although i may well be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 drapery falls doesn't have sitar in it.I also wasn't at donnington so couldn't tell you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scorge Spike Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I'd take Orchid, then Blackwater Park, then the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Of The Fall Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 oh yeah...id say you should get either still life, my arms your hearse or blackwater park firsti think moringrise and orchid might be a bit much to intake at first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Blackwater Park is what I'd recommend to get into Opeth, but for the real genius I'd go for Still Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
