One has a signed postcard from the band, the other is my copy to play the shit out of! Can’t wait!

Would put Deliverance in B, maybe A. Ghost Reveries is S tier, maybe the top with Still Life. Watershed is B. Heritage is F tier. Pale Communion is A tier. And not to be too fanboi ish, the new one is S tier, for a lot of reasons. It's not just a revival of the old stuff, it's a progression from it, and an engaging one at that. It's very cinematic. I think this would please movie buffs with how it's structured and layered instrumentally. An entirely new dimension of Opeth's music.

Well, bit of a wild ride isn't it?! In a bit of a weird place with it so far, in that I know it's great but I need to sit with it for a while. Definitely works better as a full listen through, even the first couple of singles make a lot more sense now in context. You were spot on with it being really cinematic. I could even imagine it being performed as a theatre musical! 🤯 Think it's going to get better with each listen.

Cheers! I got on the "O" Train during Ghost Reveries too. I got GR, Deliverance, and Damnation all together. Life changing. Top 5 fav band ever in any category. BWP is still my absolute fav, but My Arms has risen REALLY high recently. April Ethereal is beyond incredible. So is When. The Roundhouse is peak Opeth for that era imo. The "new" band is absolute peak right now! I saw them on Oct 18 in Brooklyn, ten rows back right in front of Frederik. Unbelievable!

The fact that you found things to love about their more recent prog heavy material, whilst still waiting for that classic Opeth dopamine hit makes you, imo, the perfect person to revue this album!

Ghost Reveries is also the first album I heard from Opeth and is my favourite of all their albums. I would put Ghost Reveries in S Tier and Watershed lower. I lost a little bit of interest after Watershed. I still saw them live a few times since Watershed to hear their best stuff live. I wish I saw them live on their Ghost Reveries tour before Martin Lopez and Peter Lindgren left. From 'My Arms, Your Hearse' to 'Ghost Reveries' is peak Opeth for me. Best songs and best lineup.

@@ThatMetalBloke I finished listening to the new album for the first time a few hours ago. It's definitely their best album since Watershed. It's not quite on the same level as their best stuff but the new album feels like it's a mixture of everything that they've done before. It's more focused than their last few albums and sounds great. I'll definitely have to listen to it a few more times at least. I'd put it on the lower part of A tier. They're touring in my country late next year. At this stage, I'm not sure if this album is great enough to sway me to see them live again. Also, ticket prices have significantly increased since I saw them last time so I'm unable to go and see as many bands live as I used to.

Ghost Reveries is up there with BWP for my favourite album, honestly. I also used to think it was underrated until I joined Metalstorm, and it's the second highest rated album on there. Reverie/Harlequin Forest is simply gorgeous. There's a live performance of that song on KZbin, and it's just magical. Check it out if you haven't already. WTF is with people rating Morningrise so low lately? Haha everyone used to rave about that album. I'm going to need to Relisten to see if I've got Nostalgia goggles on. I was genuinely gonna cry when you were going to put Sorceress in front of Morningrise. Watershed is another album I've seen that received a lot of shit recently. I assumed this was the last album everyone loved, but I guess not. Angry Metal Guy has a lot of disdain for this thing. It wouldn't be anywhere near S tier for my list, but I still love it. I absolutely love the new album. Very easily the best album since Watershed, and I think I like it more. It's a 9/10 for me, I think. I never expected to hear Opeth like this again. It could even potentially break my top 5 after a few more listens.

Still life has become my favorite with my arms and blackwater not far behind. Kinda depends on the day really. But deliverance and ghost reveries are like 9.8/10 as compared to the previously mentioned 10/10’s. Their pure prog/rock/no more death metal phase doesn’t do it for me. The dichotomy of extreme and melodic was always what endeared them to me in the first place. Though I can’t begrudge a band of their talents doing whatever the heck they want. Pretty excited for the new one!

I get bored quickly with most of their albums except Watershed through their following 4 prog rock albums. I was probably one of the few that welcomed the change in style over the previous work.

So many of the songs on that album have strong emotional content that resonates with me, lots of soaring melodies and soulful vocals. The new album seems a bit emotionally flat in comparison and disjointed, I would put it at B-tier, because otherwise it is a strong album.

Excited to check out the new album. It can be so insufferable reading reviews for literally any opeth album. One review for the new album had the writer basically speaking as if he was best buds with Mike being like “he doesn’t need to do anything he doesn’t want to do, so for all of those poser opeth fans who hopped up after the growls disappeared, here’s your chance to come crawling back”. lol for me I was bummed because I was obsessed with BWP, Deliverance, and Ghost Reveries. I felt the prog route they went sounded pretentious and just not as good as other prog brands I enjoy (the joys of music being subjective) and I also like wasn’t really a fan of Mikes interviews basically verbally assaulting interviewers who simply asked why the switch happened; and before everyone comes flying in with the hate, yes, they’re their own band and they can do whatever the hell they want (as Mike and the band have made ABUNDANTLY clear in numerous interviews). I’ve felt they’ve always impacted me and sounded their best with the growls and not leaning too much into the “traditional” prog sound

My useless opinion: S: Ghost Reveries - Still Life A: Watershed - Pale Communion - Blackwater Park B: My Arms Your Hearse - Damnation - Orchid C: Sorceress - Deliverence - Heritage - Morningrise D: In Cauda Venenum Ghost Reveries might be the best album of all time actually. It’s unbelievable. I’d go as far as to say alot of modern bands (like Mastodon) have been HEAVILY influenced by it. Pale Communion is definitely their highest quality, most creative and complete (least amount of filler) Newpeth album. Goblin is pure brutality and I don’t care what anyone says. My Arm’s Your Hearse is a killer and comlex Opeth album that teases alot of what was to come later in their career, but the production is just a bit fatiguing on the ears. Deliverance is super compressed and ear fatiguing, and it’s guitar riffage is kinda phoned in and soulless compared to what came before and after. Sitting through the first half of the title track to get to the famous outro always feels like a chore. Bizarrely lower quality and overrated album, Damnation is far superior. If Sorceress didn’t have so much bland filler and also less muddy production value, I’d rank it a tier higher, but it’s really just 2 or 3 admittedly fantastic songs that only sound good live. In Cauda Venenum sounds like Foo Fighters attempting progressive metal. It’s practically pop rock. It was a step too far and I think they know it (which explains the course correction on the new album).

Hard to disagree with anything that you are saying. Even though there are abums of theirs I don't like as much I still recognise the quality of the musianship and song writing. They have written so many quality songs it is ridiculous.

Sorceress could have been a really great album, if the mixing and production were better. This album is almost unlistenable for me, because of the bassy and muddy production. It just sounds very bad.

I could never get into Opeth. They always seemed like metal for guys who spent far too much time on thier hair, talking about superior strains of weed, and posting long and pretentious reviews of obscure records that nobody ever listened too.

Probably the most disjointed annoying album they have put out. No substance to hold onto, just a conglomerate of ideas thrown at you with no cohesion. I personally am disappointed bc I was really looking forward to the growls.
