surprised how orchid always gets low ratings, albeit being one of their most experimental and bold statements [and the production is quite decent mind you, raw black metal, not THAT's bad production], so here goes:
Orchid- 4/5 [see above]
Morningrise- 3.5/5 [quite good actually, black rose immortal having some of the best epic moments]
My Arms Your Hearse- 4/5 [just beautiful, no 10-and-beyond-songs yet very well written, with one heck of an intro track]
Still Life- 3/5 [not really big on this one, don't really see it as their big highlight]
Blackwater Park- 5/5 [ok, so it's the first i've listened from them, but i don't think it's just bias here]
Deliverance- 3.5/5 [interesting effort but something's lacking]
Damnation- 4.5/5 [same as above; perhaps a combination of the two?  ] Ghost Reveries- 2.5/5 [  ok, now i'm biased and i won't hide it; there's plenty of prog metal around; the reason we love opeth is because they do something different; did they really feel like it was the step they needed? i respect them and i don't think they've gone mainstream, but it just doesn't grab me; however, it is an effort to progress so... i'll be waitin' for their next one  ] |

My ratings are somewhat vague and a little unfair in some cases; for
example, I love both Orchid and Morningrise, even though I only gave
them a score of 3. I gave them only 3 stars because they still had much
more to offer, but as far as melodic black/death albums go, they are
5's. Each Opeth album is quite an achievemet in my opinion and I enjoy
all of them almost equally.

Opeth is one band I am very biased to because they were my introduction to Prog, although my parents were huge Yes, Genesis JT GG ect fans, my friend was the one who showed me Opeth, I started listening to them all the time and then he showed me Meshuggah which was a big miss for me for a long time, then he decided to take the symphonic route and Showed me YES and PoS and that is where my love of prog began. Basicly that was a winded story explaining where my higher ratings come from

But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Orchid was on average rated too low...seriously. Ghost Reveries was the opposite...far too high.
