Ghost Reveries, cause all songs (almost) are good. On Deliverance, I like almost only the title-song which is one of the best songs ever done by Opeth.

I've had Orchid for years, and today was my first listen.  I automatically set it aside becuase of the growls/screaming, but I was really surprised with what I heard. I suspect to collect more opeth in the future.  I  recommend Orchid though.

I only own 2 albums by them (blackwater park and damnation) and from those 2 i pick blackwater park over damnation. as the same story of everyone, i too didn't like the growling in music until i got blackwater park.

All this raving about ghost reveries is making more and more anxious to buy the album

Still Life is good, and so are Blackwater Park and Deliverance, but Ghost Reveries gets my vote. Simply outstanding, and one of the best albums in my collection.

I would have said the same thing, but switched the albums around. I've been an Opeth fan since before I even knew what prog was and I have to say, I disagree completely.

As for my favourite, it's tough to choose, but Still Life and Ghost Reveries are currently at the top.

If this was a poll for best album by Opeth, no contest - Ghost Reveries. 

While it's the favourite album to vote I go with Still Life - my first Opeth album and the perfect connection between the older and the newer Opeth. A masterpiece indeed! "Godhead's Lament" is my favourite song on it - amazing piece! That album is only slightly beaten by "Blackwater Park" and even "Ghost Reveries". 

I think the most underrated Opeth album is "Morningrise", their most progressive one if you ask me. The album has one great dreamy atmosphere, and their longest song with over 20 minutes is also on it. It has not the perfect songwriting yet but it's near on flawless and reminds as a unique album in their catalogue, seems also very overlooked by many.

How can you call Ghost Reveries rushed?

There was 2 years between Damnation and GR.

And how you can call the album "sloppy" is beyond me.

Same here too. The Drapery Falls is awesome. So BWP got my vote, the second best album is Still Life.
