what the hell are you people thinking voting for Ghost Reveries it's just a rushed sloppy album pushed out into the media for some cash. I voted for Deleverance for a reason. It's gorgeous and masterfully made.

My Arms, Your Hearse gets my vote. April Ethereal and Karma are my Opeth number 1 favorites, along with with Black Rose Immortal, Leper Affinity, Blackwater Park, Ghost of Perdition and Baying of the Hounds.

Most of Opeth fans I know like it the most, and it has GREAT songs !!! (including opeth's longest song - "black rose immortal" and their first balad "to bid you farewell" )

If this was a metal site, i'm sure there would be more votes for Morningrise. I was listening to Morningrise a couple days ago, and i have to admit it's an album that is very underrated by Opeth's progressive fans. I don't understand why any progressive fan of Opeth likes My Arms Your Hearse, i consider it to be their weakest album.
I'm quite suprised i'm the only one who's voted for Deliverence thus far. I thought it was a very progressive album with an excellent dark atmosphere. Deliverence may be quite underrated as well.

I agree about what you said on Morningrise, i didn't think of that before. but also, i disagree about MAYH, i think it's VERY progressive album (the cocept, the lyrics, the riffs and the songs structure are all progressive) and it has some of Opeth's bests like : Demon of the fall, When (love this track!) , the Amen corner and Epilogue. but after all it's just a matter of taste
besides, I think opeth has NO weak album
(sorry if my english is not so good)

I should rephrase weakest to least impressive. I still love My Arms Your Hearse, but i find it to be their least progressive album. The concept is interesting, and the structure is ok, but some of the songwriting is lacking for them. I think it was somewhat of a dissapointment after hearing how great Morningrise was. Again, I'd agree that songs like When, The Amen Corner, Creedence, and the timeless Demon of the Fall are great songs, but if you stack them up against songs like Bleak, The Leper Affnity, White Cluster, A Fair Judgment, and By the Pain I See In Others, these songs have a tough time holding their own.

I wanted to vote for Blackwater Park, but Deliverence has not vote i cast in favor of it. Everytime i listen to Deliverence i like it for and more. The album is highly creative with even more hippy sounds and hammond organs. The albums is also the best mix between hard and soft, featuring the darkest playing ever from Opeth.

I'll go with Blackwater Park, although Mikael's growls sound better on Ghost Reveries.

Damnation is the only one to get, IMHO. The most prog, and the least in character!
