Any Opeth fans on here?

Opeth are on eof my favourite bands and i was wondering if there are any other fans of this great band

their new album is one of my most all time most listened to records and i think it is great

which of their albums do other people like etc?

I like Opeth a lot. I like the new one a lot too, I'm also fond of Blackwater Park.

I need a specific mood to listen them. If I don't have that mood their music will suck, but when I have it they are amazing.

In my opinion their best album is either Deliverance or Blackwater Park.

everyone always says blackwater park is the best but i prefer orchid to that

i dont have still life or morningrise though

I love the music on Orchid, its the vocals that I'm not crazy about. Mike sounds a bit rough on it compared to their later releases.

thats part of the charm. it is a young band forming a unique sound

Opeth are a very interesting band - very unique. I love Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries. Only familiar with a few tracks outside of those two albums. I also agree with Invader - I need to be in the right mood to listen to them.

Yea, I need to be in the right mood for them. The vocals can be a bit harsh at times, especially because they create such "moody" music.

But yea, they are an amazing, talented band.

i usually only listen to them at night as the blackness suits the music down to a tee. it is almost a ritual i have where i will listen to opeth in bed (usually the new album or orchid)

i like the vocals and i like the way mikael akerfeldt can change styles so well. it shows he can scream and sing! how many peopl can do that well

i like them fine, although i don't listen to them often.

well its cool to hear everyones thoughts on a great band

I haven't yet been able to get into them, though I must admit I haven't tried that hard. I own Blackwater Park and Still Life.

ack

A talented band, no doubt. I just couldn't justify keeping their CDs, as I listened to them SOOOOO sparingly. I had to be in an exact mood to listen to them, and even then I couldn't take much of them.

I guess having all of their albums makes me a fan. I like Morningrise more than any other Opeth album.

Never heard 'em.

Own Damnation and Ghost Reveries...haven't had the chance as of yet to listen to all of Ghost Reveries.

Damnation is one of the more moving albums I have ever come across...words doesn't do this album any justice.

thats true it is very moving. it is kinda traditional prog rock but i recommend it as long as you can accept that it is not a metal record

I love Opeth. Michael Akerfelt is an amzing vocalist with his ability to go from his evil and deep gutteral growl to pleasent clean singing in a manner of seconds. Too much gutteral growl and I can barely swallow let alone sing.

The "hand" photo in the Damnation artwork is my wife's grandmother and the "window" photo is a window from the house where my great grandparents lived.

:lol:

I love Opeth, but picking a favorite album would be difficult. Great stuff!

Well I agree with a lot of people here and have to say it something I need to be in the mood for. I have Orchid, blackwater park and ghost reveries and a DVD. Wouldn't mind getting the others but they aren't on top of a gigantic list for now.

Love the band, kinda looooooong songs for radio but we rock'm anyway. I've always like Anethema and Amorphis too like in styles I guess-TJ

The new as yet untitled Opeth album has a release date of 30 May 2008

Hopefully the U.S. release date won't be too much longer than that. Allen/Lande-The Revenge and Thundertone-Evolution 4.0 along with others are still not being released in America yet.

Haven't really them all that much!
