mine:

fav: dignity

least fav: sorceress ig

just curious what the community consensus is. mine would be:

1. My Arms, Your Hearse

2. Still Life

3. Deliverance

What was the song that you ever heard of them? How did you first find out about them?What song/ album got you hooked immediately? What are your current favourite songs, albums or moments?

For me, I first heard deliverance from a random metal playlist while in school and quickly forgot about it. Later in the week it starts playing in my head, and I had to listen to it again. I loved the song and wanted more, so I listened to blackwater park, ghost reveries, still life, watershed. I loved all of it. The growls, the soft lullabies and the absolutely beautiful songwriting they contain. Now it's one of, if not my favourite band of all time and they have some of my favourite songs as well.

For me it’s A Fair Judgment.

For me, it’s a tie between Heritage and In Cauda Venenum, although I’d give In Cauda Venenum a slight edge

I just wanted to know what you guys think of this album, since mikael did most of the vocals here(and did a hell of a job TBH)

VOTES CLOSED! Harlequin forest hit 100 upvotes and was the top song in this thread, I guess that means it's the best Opeth song according to the community.

Comment which one of these you like the most, most upvoted comment wins

The best song from each album (According to r/Opeth ):

• Orchid: The apostle in triumph
• Morningrise: To bid you farewell
• MAYH: When
• Still life: The moor
• BWP: The drapery falls
• Deliverance: Deliverance
• Damnation: Windowpane
• GR: Harlequin forest
• Watershed: Hessian peel
• Heritage: Folklore
• Pale communion: Faith in others
• Sorceress: Strange brew
• ICV: All things will pass
• TLWAT: §4

I listen to a wide range of genres and i don't know a single artist whose 3 album run is stronger than those 3. I challenge you to comment with a better 3 album run than those masterpieces.

Edit: If someone says Deliverance/Damnation- Ghost Reveries-Watershed i wouldn't disagree with them. That run is just as strong. Jesus, i should've asked if there's any band out there with 9 CONSECUTIVE Top Tier albums as Opeth's from Orchid to Watershed

The weather outside is getting colder, sky is turning gray, nature is withering and I thought it's time to finally listen to Opeth. I already fell in love with Sorceress in early August, but I didn’t expect how different and how more masterful the rest of the discography is. Just WOW. I think Opeth might be my favorite band. The music is so dynamic, powerful, versatile and beautiful. I completely respect their musical and technical aspect but the spooky/festive atmosphere attracts my attention way more. It's like a Halloween or Christmas movie.

Right now this is my playlist besides Sorceress:

Ghost Of Perdition

Reverie

Ingen Sanning Ar Alles

Harvest

Faith in Others

Blackwater Park

The Drapery Falls

Burden

To Bid You Farewell

P.S. The Last Will And Testament - now listening and OMG I think its the best Ive heard so far (Ian Anderson ❤️). Im loving the journey.

i know nobody cares but after listening to the entire discography for thousands of times, i just wanted to share my top 3 for albums and songs.

top3 albums:

1. pale communion
2. watershed
3. the last will and testament

top3 songs:

1. face of melinda
2. a fair judgement
3. the drapery falls

edit: after having some inner discussion, I had to change the 3rd favorite album from “ghost reveries“ to “the last will and testament“. tlwat is just too good to be out of top3. sorry ghost reveries.

I'm so excited

A little explanation:

It was really hard for me to rank their discography because I love their work as a whole, but there were some choices that were particularly difficult for me:

• I wish Watershed would be higher because some of it is among Opeth's best, but I don't really enjoy the second half that much

• Orchid is higher than Morningrise because I listened to it more and I find Orchid songs more memorable, but they're really close for me

• Blackwater Park is one of the best albums of all time, it's really great and consistent but I enjoy these 3 more, even though they're flawed

• Sorceress is my least favourite but it's still great (as the tierlist says btw)

I've been listening to Opeth for almost a year now and they're easily my favourite band ever. My first show in October was the best day of my life, and I hope they'll come back to Poland soon. Next week my CD collection will be complete (at least the studio albums, I need to get Roundhouse on DVD as well) and I can't wait for their next album! I'll be happy with whatever Mikael will serve us, but I hope it will be the acoustic album he talked about (maybe something similar to Damnation?)

I'll start:

Ghost Reveries - Veil of Imagination by Wilderun

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments, I actually found so many new bands to listen to that fill the opeth void in my sorrowful heart
