Not sure why I thought this was the 2nd album. 🤷‍♀ Edit to clarify: I remember being told not to listen to the 2nd album, but this isn't the 2nd album--so forget I said that. :D I'm assuming it was to avoid heavy demon stuff. Just a guess.

[@lenni-hazels]

First two albums have these twin guitar melodies going on and are less to the point in terms of songwriting, while production-wise they lean a bit towards a cleaner black metal sound. Anyway, there are some great, great songs on there. Opeth were awesome right from the start!

[@geetbehera3593]

To bid you farewell is not demon Blackrose immortal is must listen

[@waldmeister0815]

Every Opeth albums are good to listen to. Even the mediocre ones.

[@neab1320]

well you should listen to it black rose immortal is so good

[@16dbuse]

This is the 3rd album, and my favorite, My Arms, You're Hearse. After this album, there was a line up change, and they were signed by Peaceville Records for the Still Life album. This is my favorite because it has a sound that hasn't been duplicated. This album also has April Ethereal, When, and Amen Corner which bleeds into Demon of the Fall. Wait until you hear songs from their 1st album Orchid, they came out the gate on top.

[@Ridd333]

Lets not forget how Demon of the fall ends and climbs into Credence. This album is stellar. There was a vid of the album and the top comment was an explanation of the story being told in the song. It's great.

[@dryferr5557]

Every song on this album is a masterpiece.

[@arwiviv]

Definitely. I cant believe someone told her not to listen to this album. Wow.

[@dryferr5557]

@@arwiviv I think they were referring to Orchid. Which is also rediculous

[@arwiviv]

@@dryferr5557 Agreed. I personally think that My Arms Your Hearse was where old school Opeth found their stride, but there's still a lot to be said for Orchid and Morningrise.

[@gearspider]

"My Arms, Your Hearse" is one of the most important albums in all of metal. And "When" is the way.

[@djent463]

It's actually their third album and it's one of those albums where all the songs are linked together, as in the end of one song is the start of the next (except for the last two songs, those are covers) , but basically all of their albums are amazing so i don't think you should avoid any of them in particular

[@Nimbus4884]

The second album “Morningrise” has a lot of gems - The Night and the Silent Water was the first Opeth song with harsh vocals that made me a fan. I guess the reason a number of people don’t like the first two albums is perhaps due to the less refined production quality on those but personally I like them even more because of that rawness and classic Dan Swano production. There are even some black metal elements in a few places, where the growls turn into true “demonic” screams. From the first album “Orchid”, The Twilight is My Robe is a must listen, just for the guitar solo that starts around the 3 minute mark.

[@16dbuse]

I recommended she listened to the entire Orchid album as a 5000 sub thing, only because she's never listened to a song on it. I'm not a fan of Morningrise, it's a great album, but not something I'll just put in. But Orchid is so beautiful and gritty, it's an epic album, it's my second favorite behind My Arms, Your Hearse, which is equally raw, but produced better imo.

[@tubelious]

Morningrise has my all-time fav O tune: Advent. Very good album.

[@linojvni2038]

morningrise is actually one of, if not their best

[@ccb1127]

@@linojvni2038 Black Rose Immortal is definitely a song that I will remember.

[@AbominationalFailure]

Man, I love Orchid. It's one of my favorite albums by them, but then again I'm not a fan of everything Watershed and after.

[@CHHSFans]

Your Opeth reviews are getting better and better ! Rally enjoying them ! ❤️

[@arwiviv]

Whoever told you NOT to listen to anything from My Arms Your Hears is a complete nut. Its a tremendous album. LOTS of clean stuff that Im sure you would really like.

[@16dbuse]

I think she is skipping Orchid, thinking Morningrise is their 1st album. Because I'm pretty so it's Morningrise she's been told to skip. It has some good songs, but My Arms, Your Hearse is my favorite. I listen to it regularly. There's nothing like it. Still Life is epic, but there's something about My Arms that makes it the best.

[@arwiviv]

@@16dbuse I love how My Arms Your Hearse just flows from one song to the next. You have to hear the whole album continuously to really appreciate it. It is really good.

[@floridabelle]

In case I didn't mention it before... 😉 .... you are just too cool. #bestOpethreactorever!

[@SANcTUS1HELLga]

I agree 💯👍

[@justinvermilyea9192]

This is pretty much the same voice Mikael uses in bloodbath one of the best death metal vocals ever

[@hazembenabdelhafidh3286]

this is the song that got me into opeth, i'm pretty sure it's voted because of the outro. It's so moving especially if you understand the concept of the album. Oh yeah, it's from their 3rd album like others said

[@markblaauw4961]

The outtro of this one is superb, but the outtroof April Ethereal tops it in my humble opinion.

[@hazembenabdelhafidh3286]

@@markblaauw4961 yeah, I just realised that everysong on this album has a great outro

[@syntheticsleep]

Wtf would anyone tell you not to listen to this album? While not my favorite, it's still absolutely fantastic all the way through and a really unique gem in their catalogue. Bangers start to finish. You should definitely, 100% do the live version of When from the Roundhouse Tapes.

[@dryferr5557]

You really not to stop explaining yourself. The "Demon" is the perfect adjective

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Consider this the last time. :D

[@kenpeterson8168]

Maximum demon! My arms your hearse is amazing - definitely listen to this album and don't listen to people who say not to.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I remember seeing that about the second album, but since this isn't the second album, bring on the hearse. :)

[@fancotasargentina8165]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee I am still hoping for you to do a reaction for one of the songs of their second album (forgive me if i am getting annoying). Morningrise. I don`t understand why people say to not listen to that one (maybe because the songs are very long), it is the first album i heard of them and still to this day my favourite. You already did a reaction for To Bid you Farewell, which is the last song and is very different from the others, but the remaining four tracks are amazing, whit lots of ositions (is this correctly spelled?), lots of bass, and a demon closer to black metal than to death metal.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

My memory sucks. Please tell me things multiple times, really. Tell me every Opeth video. It only gets annoying when I see a title mentioned on every video I post, regardless of what band it is. Typically, when I look for songs to put on a poll, I go to the comment section of the most recent video for that band. So there's your tip for today. :)

[@bernhardkrickl3567]

@@fancotasargentina8165 Morningrise is a good album, definitely, but imo somewhat transitional. On Orchid they had still a pretty homogenous sound (compared to all their other albums), very Metal, not really any clean singing. On Morningrise they became much more diverse, eclectic even, and progressive. But also a bit over the top and still searching for the right balance, imo. Like what you like, I won't argue with it, but Black Rose Immortal is too much for me. It goes on and on, stop and go all the time and I can't get the full picture, the coherent whole. On My Arms, Your Hearse they dialed that down a notch. The songs are way more to the point and, although eclectic, make for a cohesive package, iykwim. You go on loving Morningrise, that is absolutely fine, I'm just trying to share my feelings towards that album. And after all, I would still be super proud had I written it.

[@KhriZippy]

About the keyboards, the band retroactively added them to their older songs when played live.

[@emmanuelcalderon1982]

My Arms your Hearse doesn’t get the respect it deserves, it’s personally my favorite from start to finish. Demon of the Fall is still on Opeth’s live set list. I saw them play it live in NYC last fall. Cool fact about the album, the last word Mikael sings each song is the title of the next song.

[@linojvni2038]

rumor has it he was sick for the vocal sessions which explains why his vocals sound so different from every other album

[@tricia154]

This video and your whole Opeth arc is pretty much how we all got into it lol. I remember hearing mr. demon early on and reeeeally not liking it. But a year or two later and I was treating each album like its own treasured symphony - each with its own unique flavor and theme. FANTASTIC band

"So this is like fresh demon" LOL 🤣

[@ericreinhard1918]

Best album, by far.

[@notchjohnson2540]

4:45 In this genre of metal, you referring to "The Demon" should only ever be considered a compliment. Someone getting insulted by that sounds like fucking heresy to me! :>

[@markblaauw4961]

Hahaaa. Deliscious. This one is surely in my top 5 songs of Opeth. Nice reaction. I had to wait to watch it, because of the fact I just watched a livestream of Opeth from Hellfest. They still have got it. Very tight. April Ethereal from the same album has the same pace. That's a treat too 😀🤘☕️

[@saturnus2112]

Credence! From the same album, next to this track (Demon of the Fall) :))

[@ccb1127]

Such an underrated song.

[@lircox]

I remember being hopeful the growls, or Demon if you will, would grow on you and then being a bit bummed out with the whole story of your Blackwater Park reaction thinking that might be that for your appreciation for that side of Opeth. Very happy to see that this (and several others previously, but this one especially) video proves that notion dead wrong, and also to hear that you're listening to Heir Appearent still and loving it. And at least equally happy to see that you're willing to try again with Blackwater Park, I'm sure you've been told many times over how highly the fans rate it. I think the reason people told you to stear clear of the second album, Morningrise, is that the production quality is lower and all the songs are 10-20 minutes, and all include growls except the one you've already listened to, To Bid You Farewell. I'm assuming this was told to you early on in your Opeth-reactions and it is indeed not a great place to start for someone who is just getting into the band and is unsure about the growls. Basically all of this is true for their first ablum, Orchid, as well. I think you would have no problems appreciating the songs now though, they are still Opeth! Loved your reaction as usual, I'll be on the lookout for the next poll!

[@fancotasargentina8165]

I agree in everything you said

[@theCrownofSympathy]

Who the h*ll told you not to listen to this album?! This one is my favorite.

[@alejandroberrios4756]

Oh I was so looking forward to this reaction, what an epic song, since I d9nt wanna write a book about it, I’ll just try to fill you in on some info surrounding this song and the album. 1) you were correct about his vocals being doubled on the first verse, that’s why he sounds really demonic and guttural 2) that fee second intro but is actually a sample of another death metal song if I’m not mistaken 3) Mikael was sick during the recording of this album which affected both his growls and his clean vocals 4) still, as you noticed, throughout the years his clean vocals haVe improved greatly, he was still very raw in his cleans at this time 5) Martin Mendez did join the band aroudmd the time of this album but did not play bass on it, so yes, Mikael played all the bass lines on this album, and while Mikael is very talented, I gotta say if you listen to live performances of songs from this album, the additions and changes Mendez makes to the bass lines are all improvements lol 6) each track on this album flows directly into the next so again you were right, the very end of this song is the beginning of the next song, Credence, which is also a very good song, and no demon btw. And lastly, this is their 3rd album not second, I think there’s a few more songs on this album you would like, the albums that people have been telling y out to avoid are Orchid and Morningrise, which both have at least a song or two I think you would like, but definitely aren’t their strongest albums by most fans opinions.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Thanks for the info :)

[@geetbehera3593]

How can people recommend avoiding such good music

[@alejandroberrios4756]

@@geetbehera3593 i think there are probably a decent number of newer Opeth fans who get into them through their later work and read up on which albums to check out and realize the first two records aren’t popular suggestions at all, and then if they learn the lineup was also different from their “classic” lineup that’s even less incentive to check them out. I think there’s some gems on both of those albums, I love The Apostile in Triumph, The Night and the Silent Water, I really like Nectar, Advent, Forest of October, In the Mist she was Standing, and I like (to lesser degree) Under the Weeping Moon and Black Rose Immortal, I don’t think any of their albums are bad, but with a big discography, I understand most people prioritizing the first 2 albums the least.

@@alejandroberrios4756 You are right Also you mentioned all the songs I like off those 2 records, just that I have a stronger liking for Blackrose immortal

The intro was actually a recording mistake IIRC, there was anoher band recording in the studio and part of their song was recorded in this one. They decided to reverse it and keep it as the intro.

[@johnsnider2956]

I love almost all Opeth but after all these years, My Arms Your Hearse is still my favorite. The best Heavy songs AND the prettiest ballads.

[@vigridr7614]

I would absolutely recommend watching the Roundhouse Tapes version of this song (which does have a keyboard in it) because it's a very stark difference, especially vocally, from the previous video forrrrr I think it was Ghost of Perdition that you did from the recent Garden of the Titans (Redrocks) DVD - I think it would be a really interesting experience for you and would be fun to watch! Lovely as usual, Lauren.

[@adityastrcoep]

Thanks! I loved your reaction to Burden as well! Can you please react to Eternal Rains Will Come from the album Pale Communion?

[@arwiviv]

Im not a death metal guy at all. I bought the Deliverance cd, based on reviews that I read, in like 1999 or 2000. I got the cd and within an hour of playing it I was ready to fling it out of my car window.....it made no sense to me. Luckily for me, 19 bucks was a big deal back then so I decided to try and stick with it. I did stick with it....and within 2 months I had purchased all of Opeth's prior cd's. For about 2 years straight the only thing being played in my vehicle was Opeth. They are THAT good. If you love old school Opeth then listen to old school Katatonia. Like Mikael, Jonas Renske (lead singer of Katatonia) is also a musical genius. In addition, Mikael and Jonas have been very good friends for decades.

[@fancotasargentina8165]

My three favourite bands are Opeth, Anathema and My Dying Bride. Should I listen to Katatonia?

[@arwiviv]

@@fancotasargentina8165 Heck yeah. Start with their old school stuff. Like Opeth, they started out raw and then found their sound. Jonas Renske is just like Michael Ackeerfeldt.

Oh boy, i checked yesterday the poll and Blackwater Park was winning 40 to 38 and I was so happy, but i guess i still have to wait for that one (nevertheless, this song is a blast, and hearing the demon singing his name is glorious). And again, you asking "is that him?" is one of the moments that i love the most in your reactions. Well, you hearing so much Heir Apparent means that you finally fell for the demon. I think is an acquired taste. Mikaels growls are so beautiful to heare compared to other growlers

[@LucidDream]

This album and 'Damnation' are my favorite Opeth albums. Not to say I don't like the others, but I just love these the most. Should really listen to the whole album. There is something interesting about playing it front to back in that all the songs end with lyrics that is the song title of the next song. Like the end of this song ends with,"And she had lost in me, her credence.". 'Credence' being the title of the next song. 'Demon of the Fall' was my introduction to Opeth a long time ago. That ending is gorgeous. The mood it invokes and the dual guitar play.
