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.

i think the new live album came out a minth after it did on europe

the album has seven songs that are all ten minutes long

Been a fan since Orchid and have all their albums but must say that the last two are not as strong which seems to tie in with Peter Lindgren not writing anymore. The live Cd is average as well and I would have prefered a covers album or just an EP to see us through.

My fave is definitely Morningrise and Damnation, both these dont get enough love.

Fans should also check out the album 'The Forlorn' by Ikuinen Kaamos, great Finnish band that brings back the sound of Orchid.

I'm a fan. I think the best keeps getting better and better. I think My Arms,Your Hearse is my favorite.

I am of the mind that feels that Ghost Reveries is the best one yet. Favorite songs are Beneath The Mire, Baying Of The Hounds, and The Grand Conjuration. High quality all around.

thats my favourite also and the first one i got into. it just blew me away completely after a few listens and i have both cd editons of it now

they're ok. i need to be in the right mood

I cant listen to them in the daytime it has to be in the dark as it enhances the atmosphere

I must say that now Ghost Reveries is not as great as I origionally thought. It can be a little slow sometimes, I guess it's one of those mood albums (although the songs I mentioned above I can listen to at any time). Same thing with the last one, Watershed. I just recently heard the early albums Orchid and My Arms, Your Hearse and I think I actually prefer those, espedcially the latter (not so many interludes). I think my ranking of Opeth would be:

Damnation
My Arms, Your Hearse
Blackwater Park
Still Life
Orchid
Ghost Reveries
Watershed
The Roundhouse Tapes

My Arms, Your Hearse owns you!

Not only is it their best record, but it's also one of the best titles for an album out there!

I used to really like this band back in the day, but like most here I need to be in a certain mood to appreciate them. Songs are very long, bordering progressive and you need a certain kind of time for that.

one of the greatest bands ever.

I'm a recent convert, I've been listening to all of their albums on Lala to see which ones I like the best. So far I like the recent releases the best; Ghost Reveries and Watershed. They are basically a progressive rock band, very much in the King Crimson mold.

I'm spinning Deliverance this morning...amazing stuff.
