Opeth Songs Ranked

[@araso9859]

"Cusp of eternity is one of the best opeth songs and it is number 70" I feel you bro

[@DevinJamesMetal]

Opeth's early 2000's era is my absolute favorite. I swear, you fall deeper in love with it the more that you listen to it

[@WFly101]

Isn't that the most popular of their discography? 90s Orchid Morningrise My Arms Your Hearse Still Life 2000s Blackwater Park Deliverance Damnation Ghost Reveries Watershed 2010s Heritage Pale Communion Sorceress In Cauda Venenum

[@jackkelly6251]

Especially if you throw Still Life in there

[@WFly101]

@@jackkelly6251 Still Life is 1999

[@jackkelly6251]

@@WFly101 That's why I said throw it in there. It feels more like something from the 2000's than 90's imo, as in less black metal influences

Best from each album: Orchid: no idea Morningrise: to bid you farewell My arms your hearse: Demon of the fall Still life: The moor( hard choice) Blackwater park: Blackwater park Deliverance: Masters apprentices Damnation: In my time of need Ghost reveries: Ghost of perdition/ The grand conjuration( tie) Watershed: Burden( hard choice, best ballad in the full discography. Im new to opeth so I haven't listened to the album

Just stopped by to say its the 5th time this week ive watched this video idk why... i think its cause im making my own list but... idk your voice is calming and i love ranks i guess😅

[@quadparents]

Wow. This is an audacious goal you've tackled. Like saying which of your seven children you love the very most. There is the odd wart in their discography, as any set of human musicians is going to produce throughout their career, but generally, the breadth and scope of the music these guys make puts them into the rarefied air category. I'd encourage anyone to get past the preconceived notions and connotations of 'what this type of music is all about' and instead take the time to listen to what's being created - if you profess to have even a singular bone of musicality in you then you need to give them a listen - astounding.

[@loganc1158]

Best from each album- Orchid - In Mist She Was Standing Morningrise - Nectar My Amrs, Your Hearse - Karma Still Life - Serenity Painted Death Blackwater Park - The Leper Affinity Deliverance - Wreath Damnation - In My Time of Need Ghost Reveries - Ghost of Perdition Watershed - The Lotus Eater Heritage - The Devils Orchard Pale Communion - Eternal Rains Will Come Sorceress - Sorceress In Cauda Venenum - Heart In Hand

[@MichaelCollins-ev4sv]

For Ghost Reveries I’d say Reverie / Harlequin Forest

[@nakramproductions3858]

I find Nectar to be one of their worst lol. Would pick any other from the album with their ups and down. Probably the most all arounded song is To Bid You Farewell, it can stand the pass of time

[@qwerty.4450]

Wreath and the lotus eater👎

[@englishorspanishCOG]

damn i disagree with nearly all of these

[@valirupe]

I have a hard time trying to rank the albums from Opeth because all of them are so good and you manage to rank all of the songs, thats pretty impressive.

[@CoNoR231297]

Excellent video! I would find ranking every single Opeth song to be an incredibly daunting task.

[@jakesklodowski9321]

Dude this is so awesome, boutta grab some popcorn and watch this I love long videos. I wanna pick like a top 25 but it’s so tough I have to think about it.

[@MichaelCollins-ev4sv]

Beneath the mire is dangerously underrated, it makes me think of like the history of a family that died like 200 years ago

[@thobrik]

Starting to give 10s at place number 70+ is just crazy, fun video!

[@Nittinkadife]

I appreciate your appreciation for the early Opeth songs

[@jorrit3220]

[@u11113901]

Respect for doing top 100. Doing top 20 took me half a day :)

[@ceterisparibus42]

I love Harvest but your video was great anyway ;) Face of Melinda might be my favourite song too but it's so hard to choose!

[@FreddyChoppins]

I think Damnation as a whole showed Opeth could do clean vocals and still be an excellent band. I adore that album and I'm very much a DEATH METAL OPETH RAAAAAAGH guy.

[@Taunic]

Putting Haxprocess at 86 almost gave me a hernia. Why do we watch these though if we aren't looking to get triggered XD

[@Questformetal]

Because getting triggered is fun 😉

[@Lukkern]

Well, i will give my list then! I counted with their special edition songs and Patterns in the ivy 2 and still day beneath the sun, as well as throat pf winter! I also love every single opeth song. Only one i just «like» is black rose immortal.. Not the last on my list though, just because i can’t criticise intros etc as much. By the way, did you forget The Moor?

[@Lukkern]

As i'm stil pretty young (20 years old) i experience that i enjoy different types of music and styles more and others less. This list has definitely changed. Famine ranked low back then would have been at least 50 spaces higher... Same goes for spring mcmxlvv (at least 60 spaces higher) and a fleeting glance (at least 20 spaces higher).. Every opeth song is a masterpiece though... So it will probably have changed in a year again!

[@OfficialArthusamakh]

I really couldn't make such a list, I can't even really rank the albums. But there's a few songs I'd definitly put at the top without hesitation. Leper affinity, Blackwater park, To bid you farewell, Wreath, Deliverance, A fair judgement, Allting tar slut, Hope leaves and Heir apparent come to mind first. Cirkelns riktening (or something like that) is a pretty cool bonus track from ICV, you can find it on YT and Soundcloud. Hope we'll get the 2 other bonus tracks of ICV ad well. Definitely love that record and can't wait for them to do #14.

[@Adamov1]

Great list, Face of Melinda is also personal favorite of mine,

Obviously I have a few differences with you, but, each day my list would be totally different. I liked the yours one. Black Rose Immortal, as I see in the comments and everywhere, or you love it, or you hate it. My first impression was bad, but after a long time (years), It's in my top 10 too. Great video! I imagine a lot of work and time behind it.

Ghost of Perdition is in my top 🔝 3 Opeth songs ever and so is The Drapery Falls. But I agree ☝️ with you about Face Of Melinda. Even for me this is in my podium and maybe best one ☝️ . The Drapery Falls - Ghost Of Perdition - Face of Melinda my top 3

Always nice to see The Moor get the respect it deserves. It's #1 on my list. Even with that slow start, it's one song I never skip when it comes up on shuffle unless I'm driving like 5 mins somewhere which, in that case, Opeth probably isnt the band I should be listening to 😄

[@marxman6896]

My 3 favorite tracks, I think, are 'The Night and the Silent Water', 'The Twilight is My Robe', and 'The Drapery Falls'. I am a sucker for the funeral dirge-like guitar tone of their first 2 records. That tone is absolute bliss. I don't care for any of their last 4 records, particularly Pale Communion. That album just kinda sucks. It's boring, which is the worst thing you can say about a piece of music.

[@JBarG22]

Eternal Rains and Black Rose Immortal are really good

[@oreomixtape7061]

Where would you put the moor?

[@darkblakdk2865]

I think Famine is a great song, it sounds a bit like Jerhro Tull to me because of how progressive it is and because of the flute, kinda sad that it didn't rank higher on this list, but that's alright

My thoughts on Sorceress: The title track is so good, but the rest of the album falls flat on its face

[@kurgg06]

I’m so saddened to see The Grand Conjuration, which is probably my favorite song, get done so poorly in this comment section. For me it would be something like: 10- Hope Leaves 9- Serenity Painted Death 8- The Drapery Falls 7- In My Time of Need 6-Reverie/Harlequin Forest 5- Windowpane 4- Godhead’s Lament 3-Blackwater Park 2- Bleak 1- The Grand Conjuration

[@hellsing1983]

My favorite album is My Arms, Your Hearse. Yes! Not their best but my favorite! Objectively Blackwater Park is their best, and why is it better than Still Life? Well because it's production. The way all instruments are blended and how the vocals sound, and the piano outro on The Leper Affinity make this album their best. Not only the song writing, but the production included. But hearing them live it's different. Especially on the Still Life songs. I heart 3 songs from that album on one of their concerts, and they were better than the Blackwater Park songs. Same goes for the Still Life and Morningrise songs that night.

Ghost Reveries was my first Opeth album so it holds a special place in my heart, but yeah, The Grand Conjuration may be my least favorite song on that album. It's still not BAD but it's massively overshadowed by so many other songs even on the same album let alone across their discography.
