Blackwater Park is clearly the best Opeth.

Also, I just want to comment again on how mindblowing that live performance of Living in the Heart of the Beast was.  I wasn't expecting much, given my experiences with the studio version, but it just slaughtered babies all over the place.

I like Watershed.
The guitar solos from Burden are probably some of the best guitar solos from any record from 2008.

Watershed is definitely my favorite.


That was a big step down IMO, one of my least favorites to be honest.


That's what I used to think forever.

Then, all of a sudden, it just kinda hit me.

Why is it "sillier" though?


I like it, it's not a criticism.

It's just I laughed more when I heard the vocals of Agalloch, than I did for Opeth.

Ghost Reveries is one of my favorites.
Pretty much, if you want to keep a good impression of Opeth, absolutely avoid their first few albums.
Everything before Still Life I avoid like the plague.


Agreed.

Oh wait, it's Frith and Cutler banging away.  Cutler on drums and Frith on Marimbas.  Ouch!

Oh and someone screaming down a saxophone.  It's Hodgkinson.

I do too.

De-Loused 5
Frances 4
Amp 5
Bedlam 6

Something like that.

Depends on your level of fanboy - the Hamburg and Oslo pieces are quite different, so there is something to be gained from acquiring each album.  But the track list of the "songs" is fairly similar, and you would get the feel of the tracks on Concerts from listening to Hamburg, I think.


Ok, I guess that 9 discs of live Henry Cow will be enough.

There, I said it.

I don't. LOL

I actually criticise their music.

Alex likes all of it, even the not so good stuff.


All of it is good.


No it's not.

War is mediocre.  Dagmar can be often annoying.  Some of their tunes lack direction.


War is amazing.

None of their tunes lack direction, IMO.


War is annoying.

But that's because it's written by Greaves and Blegvad.  I'm not a huge fan of Blegvad, to be honest.  Kew.Rhone just doesn't work for me.  Plus "The Sun Has Got His Hat On" bit is very irritating.

Much of IPoL lacks direction, except LitHotB.  Leg End is a wee bit topsy-turvy too.


See, now this is why I'm more of a fanboy. LOL

This is INSANE.

I have no idea what Cutler is banging but it's intense.

Edit: It's marimbas
