    Blackwater Park's more popular than Still Life mostly for the change of Label and Producer.
    Their New Label (Music For Nations) actually distributed decently their Music, gave them Tours, and, pretty much, allow more people to know them, and therefore, they finally Broke through.
    It's really a proof of how much difference being in a decent label makes to a musical Artist.

    Okay, how the @&$& did I never listen to this band before? Well, I know the answer: I was deep into jazz and classical and alternative and had gotten away from the 80s metal and rock I’d grown up with. Thanks to the lockdowns, and a few great UA-camrs like Questy, I started to explore this genre and all that I had missed. Long story short, I can’t stop listening to Blackwater Park. It’s my first, and I know I’ve got a bunch more to explore, but this...is...a masterpiece!! I feel like a kid again, knowing I have a whole huge discography to explore from this band...thank you for opening up this genre to me, and for knowing what you love and not giving a flying &@&$ what others think of your taste in bands! Love it!!

    Ghost Reveries is my favorite because it combines their best death metal with their best prog. Number 2 is Still Life and number 3 is Blackwater Park. Morningrise I will not rate because Black Rose Immortal is my favorite composition from them and the rest of the album is different. Good video. Can never get enough Opeth!

    Still have yet to dive super heavily into Opeth, but they are one band that's a high priority for me to check out more of.

    Just found this channel like a week ago but I love both the way you present your rankings and the rankings themselves. Opeth has been my favourite band ever since I was a teenager, took the nr 1 position from In Flames. My fav is probably Blackwater Park or Ghost Reveries, with Ghost Reveries my most listened one for sure. Deliverance and Damnation got a lot of play time too, and I loved Watershed when it came out. Didn't get too deep into their older stuff, but that's gonna change now, thank you for this video!

    I will deliver the top 5,if only because it's hard to compare Opeth pre-Watershed and after Watershed. They are both amazing,but so different that I haven't decided on it yet.
    1.Ghost Reveries (a masterpiece of epic proportions. For me it has the best blend of melody and heaviness Opeth ever delivered,the Deliverance-Damnation experiment paid off in that regard. I love,how Mikael's growls are used more for accent moments,it gives them more weight like on Grand Conjuration.)
    2.Still Life (I can see,why many people call it the best one, it's very close to being that for me. It has a lot of melodies that will stuck in your head forever like that opening riff of The Moor with accent of acoustic guitar or the opening of Godhead's Lament. It's maybe less heavy as some of their other albums,but it's not a big concern for me)
    3.Blackwater Park (For me it's a bit overhyped. Don't get me wrong,still an incredible album,but after Still Life it sounds like a step backwards to me. Credit,where it's due,the atmosphere on this album is just insane. Every riff just oozes with this melancholic darkness.)
    4.Watershed (The last ride for old Opeth,and it's a great one! It's like a perfect bridge between the Ghost Reveries and Heritage in a sense,having more pianos and clean guitars than ever before,but still having enough power and urgency to keep you listening for all its runtime.)
    5.Orchid (Yeah, it's raw as hell. Yeah,the songs are underdeveloped in places. But come one,this album is still awesome! I love it for its energy and "throw it all together at once" approach. There are tons of riffs on this album and all of them are killer. It's a debut album with all its flaws,but the potential is evident from the first riff.)

    @pedrofarias417 3 роки тому +9

    I agree with you on your least favorite albums released by Opeth and I do agree with you, regarding Opeth being a favorite band. It's one of my favorite groups, as well.
    However, I have a different ranking, considering their top three releases. This is my top three:
    *1)* _Morningrise_ (1996): a *very* beautiful and complex album, with remarkable basslines, mainly what we listen to. Love it, from "Advent" to "To Bid You Farewell".
    "Advent" is mighty beautiful, with so many good riffs, like the one from 3:19 to 4:21 of that song, and the gorgeous interlude from 5:43 to 8:06. Not to mention the bright reference the song has, regarding Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name", at the 13:02 section.
    "The Night and the Silent Water" is a pure beauty, a reference to Mike's deceased grandpa.
    Then, comes "Nectar", one of my most favorite Opeth songs: brilliant basslines, powerful drumming and vocals. My favorite section from it goes from 4:50 to 6:18.
    "Black Rose Immortal" is music history in one piece. Beautiful. Beautiful. Really beautiful, with a nice Black Metal reference at the end of it. The interlude that goes from 9:42 to 11:52 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever listened to, in my life.
    Finally, "To Bid You Farewell". Just too beautiful.
    *2)* _My Arms, Your Hearse_ (1998): my favorite concept album released by Opeth and my favorite concept album overall. A story about a ghost and his love, in brutally and well written lyrics. *SO BEAUTIFUL* and a piece of fine art, with allusions to the four seasons! How great that can be?
    "Prologue" is a mysterious instrumental track. That raining intro is immersive to the oncoming story of the album. A nice catch. The ghost is out.
    "April Ethereal": love this track, a reference to spring. The riff from 3:41 to 4:41 is gorgeous. The ghost is seeking for his love.
    "When": has a great intro and I especially love the interlude from 6:08 to 7:40. The ghost is getting desperate to find his love, seeking for her in her house.
    "Madrigal": a mysterious interlude to the album. It's a nice instrumental track and a remarkable one, mainly for it's intrinsic lyrics: "Our abode 'mongst the stars is waiting". The ghost is getting even more desperate.
    "The Amen Corner": another one of my most favorite Opeth tracks. A reference to summer. How come the fans don't talk much about this brilliant song!? How unfair. "The Amen Corner" is a high point in _MAYH's_ story: it has a mighty, remarkable intro, *outstanding* lyrics (oh, Gosh, how the lyrics in this one get me): "Until now we shared the same aura, my ashes within your hands". Wow! Breathless. The interlude from 3:13 to 5:32 is a requiem-like piece of music. I feel for the ghost, in this one. The section from 6:35 till the end is one of the most remarkable sections in Opeth's history, to me. I LOVE "THE AMEN CORNER" SO MUCH.
    "Demon of the Fall": a _magnum opus_ song. Another favorite of mine. This and "The Amen Corner" share the climax of the album story. As the name states, it's the reference to the "fall" season. What can I say? A pure majestic music. An amazing indeed song: great and powerful intro, gorgeous lyrics and great progression. I bang my head to this one. I especially like very much the interlude that goes from 3:09 4:26 (with the intense bridge that goes from 3:39 to 3:55). Not to mention the lyrics at 4:56 and the outro: "that day came to an end and she had lost in me her credence". An explosion of emotions. The ghost finally faced his love.
    "Credence": a sad, pretty sad song. The ghost is desolated. This is also the very first Opeth song I've fully learned to sing. I get bad for the ghost: he realized it was effortless to get back to his love.
    "Karma": a fantastic and powerful song. It has another requiem for the ghost: the section from 2:54 is the realization of the emptiness in the ghost realm and the climax begins at 3:41: POOR GHOST...
    "Epilogue": winter has come. A sad song and the ghost finally rests.
    Wow! _MAYH_ is one of my beloved things. Great and breathless album. My favorite tracks, in from it, are: "The Amen Corner", "Demon of the Fall" and "April Ethereal".
    *3)* _Blackwater Park_ (2001): a very great release. I can't get enough of this one. _BWP_ is the epitome of a great Death Metal and Progressive Metal work. It deserves much recognition and I, particularly, disagree with you, when you stated that it is "overrated". Actually, it's well received and reconized: a credit that is given where it's due.
    The entire _BWP_ album is fantastic and very refined. Opeth proved to be absolutely complete and at another level. My favorite tracks from that album are:
    "The Funeral Portrait": has a very headbanging rhythm and an outstanding outro that always reminds me of a sunset. I must have listened to it hundreds of time;
    "The Leper Affinity": wow! Just wow! What a great intro song highlighting the sections from 3:14 to 4:02; the interlude from 4:03 to 6:07 and the spectacular outro, from 7:51 to 8:47; and
    "Bleak": the duo with Steven Wilson and Mark Akerfeld defines it all.
    Honorable mentions, composing a top five Opeth albums list of mine comprehends _Orchid_ (1995) and _Still Life_ (1999).

      Still Life, Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries are a trilogy in a sense. They are pretty similar in style, but have different unique atmospheres and ideas to them.
      Watershed is like the big three above, but more prog.
      Morningrise is a proggy death metal/black metal album. Orhid is Morningrise but not as proggy and not as good. My Arms Your Hearse is a bridge between Morningrise and Still Life. A very good bridge.
      Deliverance is arguably their heaviest and can be compared to Blackwater Park in many regards.
      Others are clean albums, most amazing. Some like Pale Communion are love letters to classic prog rock like King Crimson, but some are pretty unique, especially Damnation. Damnation is not even that proggy, but just incredibly beautiful, melacholic and groovy at times.

    Swap BWP and Morningrise and I agree. Your points about the similarity of BWP and SL make sense. SL is better. What probably happened us SL stirred the pot enough that when the next album came out all it had to do was be similar and it would explode in popularity. I think this a fair amount with bands. Do a video on that?

    I love Opeth! When you said that they're also you're favorite band, I immediately subscribed. Anyways, my ranking:
    1. Morningrise (I'm a sucker for epic long tracks that go all over the place)
    2. Orchid (best melodies of the entire discography on this album)
    3. Still Life (Opeth's mash-up of extreme metal and jazz fusion)
    4. Blackwater Park (Some of their best death metal riffs)
    5. Deliverance (pretty similar to Blackwater Park)
    6. Ghost Reveries (production is too clean, but still some bad-ass riffs)
    Everything else I don't like.

    • @Nickwritespoetry
      @Nickwritespoetry 3 роки тому +1

      @@Questformetal There's a pretty big difference between the riffs, melodies, and production between the first two albums and everything that came after. The melodies are a bit simpler on the first two and they tend to be folkier. Not to mention, they borrowed the dual lead guitar approach from melodeath bands on these two albums. The production and riffs have a "blackened" feel to them. The vocals are shriekier on the first two albums. It actually conveys the nickname that used to be given to Opeth "forest metal". It's like black metal but with some beauty and complexity to it.
      MAYH has more of a death metal feel to the riffs and vocals. Also, MAYH's soundscape is pretty hazy sounding. A lot of the particularities of MAYH's melodies are drowned out. Still Life is a much cleaner production that shows off Opeth's technical side (thus making it my third favorite album).

    Ghost Reveries is probably always going to be my favourite album of any artists. I'd be happy to be wrong, but how do you you improve on absolute perfection? As any Opeth fan will probably say, it's really hard to pick a favourite song, but if I had to choose, it'd probably be Harlequin Forest. It has everything that made that era of Opeth so incredible. The perfect balance of clean and heavy bits and the outro gives even Deliverance a run for its money. Also, did you really forget about Damnation?

    Opeth is one of my favorite bands, and the band that actually got me into heavier extreme metal. I do prefer their death metal stuff. Some of the prog rock stuff feels kind of bland, but some of it is amazing. And I really don't like black metal, so even though I love Opeth, I don't really like the first two albums tbh.

    Funny, my personal list from worst to best overlaps the chronological order of the albums, Mikeal craft in songwriting is just getting better and better regardless of the style.
    I agree that the last album requires time but eventually his beauty hits you, The Garroter is sooo good!
    Kind of disagree about the audio quality of Sorceress, yes they left the album un-mastered, it lacks a bit of punch but you just need to put the volume a little higher and you get an amazing listening experience, every track in that album sounds amazing, a whole other league from the earlier stuff.
    Still Life, Blackwater Park, Deliverance and Damnation and Ghost Reveries hold a unique Opeth sound, there's a very special atmosphere in those albums that is present only in little hints over later records.

I have been looking for music to fill the gap Opeth left after Watershed for many years now. That's the best I have to offer.

    btw, best ghost reveries song is the baying of the hounds easily. Followed by harlequin forest. Ghost of perdition is far from their best song, but still 10/10

    About the Blackwater Park and Still Life debate i think BP is just plainly better produced thats all. The production quality is a problem with most of the earlier Opeth albums imo. Ghost Reveries is just insanely well produced for example, and im sure it tops most people lists. I think its easy to understimate the weight the production brings to the table when you can imagine every song beginning to end in your head. Also, you said you like black metal, so im sure you are better acquainted with rougher production than most as well.
