Opeth Discussion
jeph:
Far as I'm concerned, the only "essential" Opeth albums to own are Blackwater Park and My Arms, Your Hearse. None of their other material (save "Ghost of Perdition" off of Ghost Reveries) really grabs me. That being said, Blackwater Park is probably one of my favorite albums of all time.
!!!CPAOI!!!:
I was wondering when you were going to weigh in. Blackwater Park is definitely my favorite album by the band, but I think that applies to a healthy majority of people (not everybody of course).
Cartilage Head:
Overall, the album with the most songs that I adore is probably Damnation, but my favorite album would have to be Still Life.
My top five songs would have to be
1. Still Day Beneath The Sun.
2. Patterns In The Ivy II.
3. The Moor.
4. Weakness.
5. Face Of Melinda.
Opeth is one band that I will most likely be a fan of for quite some time. Like I've said before, there is no musical act like them in the world.
Storm Rider:
I will admit, my opinion of them did improve after seeing them live at Gigantour. Their playing was pretty solid (I admit I didn't recognize every song, but they closed with The Leper Affinity, which kidcked ass), and Mikael was really good at chatting up the crowd. He spoke English pretty well, and kept apologizing for the acoustic songs, saying 'I'm a pussy, and I like pussy shit songs'. The opening thing, where he asked the crowd if 'you even know who we are' was pretty funny too. Basically, I would totally hang out with the dude given the opportunity, which I wouldn't say about any of the other frontman at the show*.
*For the record, I would have punched the guys from Lamb of God and Sanctity in the face for being self-absorbed douches, and I probably would have shaken Dave Mustaine's hand and asked for an autograph but not much else. With Angela Gossow I would just try to avoid drawing attention to my boner out of fear of disembowelment, and Blitz... I have no idea how I'd react to meeting Blitz.

I think we all agree on this.
