Although I do not only listen to prog, I personally find almost all non-prog rock to be far too boring to listen to. But that's just me. ;-) ELITIST My attitude is more elitist than that. I see ELO in your sig, you LIAR! ELO's first few albums were prog related, and I don't listen to them near as much anymore. They were one of the first entry bands into music I ever really got into, and my sig spans the last 3 years of my life. I listen to the occasional non-prog band/artist, but that's it. About 98-99% of the music I hear is strictly prog.

ENTRY LEVEL SHIZT

I have asked myself in recent times since I have listened to them a lot lately: Deliverance... best Opeth album? Hell no, it's one of their worst albums. It's like DT's Train of Thought. I much prefer Blackwater, Still Life, GR, and Watershed.

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
No.

I think most people don't like Deliverance because it's Opeth's heaviest album. However if you're patient enough with it it'll grow on you. And I know for a fact that you've only listened to it once or twice, then add in the fact that you're not much of a metalhead..... It wouldn't be the first Opeth album I'd recommend to someone wanting to try them, but I'd tell the person to get it eventually just for the sake of hearing it.

I've heard it 2 or 3 times now, yeah. I will give it another try, but I just really didn't like it at all. It's way too heavy and seems like Opeth by the numbers to me (much like Systematic Chaos or TOT).

That would be me. I barely ever listen to 'classic' prog anymore.

Alex, you've only heard it once or twice and basing your judgement on that? Definitely their heaviest, but damn, it's so addictive for me. For a while I thought GR was their best, but I go back and listen to Deliverance, and I actually like it more than GR.

When you really don't like an album at all and have many other things to listen to that you haven't heard or that you really like, the album doesn't exactly get that many listens.

I've heard it 2 or 3 times. I might grow to like it more in the future, but I don't know; it doesn't hit me too well. I'm not really a hardcore metalhead at all; I can only take it in doses.

This is about as far as I can rank Opeth's albums:
1) Still Life
2) Blackwater Park
3) Could be any Opeth album other than the first 3

My prog is usually Avant-prog, which tends towards modern more.   Related: I listened to Unrest lately, and it's wonderful that there is still music that is difficult for me even after inuring myself to free jazz and 20th century classical. Unrest is Henry Cow's weakest album.

Fixed.
