Great to see you do this list! Opeth are literally my favourite band and with their catalogue being so eclectic it's always interesting to see what everyone's opinions are on where they rate the albums. If you're interested, here's mine: S - Still Life, Ghost Reveries, In Cauda Venenum A - Blackwater Park, Watershed, Pale Communion B - Damnation, Heritage, Orchid, MAYH C - Morningrise D - Deliverance, Sorceress In truth I love every record they've ever done so it's hard to tier them like this haha. Glad to see you giving ICV so much love, it's a really underrated and incredibly ambitious album - definitely the best of the post-Watershed material imo
Great video! Opeth is one of my favourite bands as well. Our lists are not too far off. This is mine: My Arms, Your Hearse - S Still Life - S Blackwater Park - S Ghost Reveries S Deliverance - A Damnation - A Watershed - A Morningrise - B In Cauda Venenum - B Pale Communion - B Orchid - C Heritage - C Sorceress - C Sometimes, I move Orchid to B and Morningrise to A, if I rank the songs individually. But I have placed them accordingly to later albums. The albums in each tier are not in a specific order. My Arms, Your Hearse might be my favourite, although I don't think it's their best. Just love the way it flows. In reality, I think everything in A is damn near S, probably moreso A+, while everything under is a good bit behind. In Cauda Venenum is B+ or A- for me. It might grow more. It's great from front to back unlike their other recent albums. I hope they find their new sound soon. I would think that they will release something next year. It's been a bit over 4 years now.
Damnation is probably the closest to S from the A tier. I have already stuffed the S tier up, though, and there's a bit of filler on it. I'm more in to their heavier side.
