Opeth Albums Ranked

[@benjaminhull6107]

Definitely agree with the tier list at the end

[@jasonboardman2796]

For me Opeth Should've stop at Watershed I don't even hate new Opeth but I think their OK albums at best for me i liked the new album but it doesn't reach the same highs along aside with Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Still Life Damnation, Ghost Reverise and My Arms Your Hearse like I never thought it would be AOTY for me because it's continuing that something that what I don't love about new Opeth in my opinion.

[@moonlightreveries1459]

Seriously I’m fed up with ranking Opeth. It’s causing me rumination 🤣 They are all “S” tier. Thanks for making it easy on us Mr. Questy lol

Luv the Tier list at the End Its not easy to choose

[@owl509]

Opeth posting ⁉️ lesssssgoooo

[@chirpywiggins5796]

New album is is a multi layered Masterpiece. It's eery, atmospheric and in equal parts beautiful. It fits the story perfectly and it really does reward repeated listens, getting better every time. Dare I say it, but there's even a Mr Bungle vibe to some of the tracks and vocals, which is a compliment.Definately my AOTY.

[@moonlightreveries1459]

6:10 Dude I realized this while listening to Blackwater Park this week. It is very much like Still Life, but it has less of that haunting guitar and creepy acoustic which I love on Still Life. The pianos on BWP, gives it a slightly different mood. It’s so true though. The riff style and so many things are similar. Not bad because both albums are awesome. Still Life is one that GRABS you. I was so convinced it was my #1 for a while. Then I just fell in love with My Arms Your Hearse so much, and then Morningrise more and more as well. Every Opeth album is absolutely fire 🔥 Unique and amazing. I need more time with this new one, but it is just insane and I am very blown away by it. Even by Opeth’s standards, it’s out of this world.

[@Cornelgeorge141]

The most legit Opeth tier list i've ever seen (the one at the end)

[@CluelessEgg145]

Anyone else notice how Mikael has dropped a fair few celtic frost "HEEEEYY!"'s in the new album?🤔 UUGGHHHH HEEEY!!!💪

[@opticstar2012]

It reminds me of clash royal for some reason 😅

[@Zuracooking]

​@@opticstar2012 reminds me of Subway Surfers and i haven't played it since 5 years😭

[@CluelessEgg145]

I wish i knew what the above references are about but haven't a clue😂

[@opticstar2012]

​@@Zuracooking Oh yeah that too😂

[@iam2spooky4u85]

INDEEEED, I FKIN LOVE WHEN THE HEYS DROP

[@fcamiola]

Pale Communion is one of the best flowing Opeth albums, period. Marrow of the Earth is one of the most beautiful and introspective tunes ever. Allting Tar Slut is the best doom song ever. Love seeing My Arms and Deliverance so high - both are absolute monsters. Also, the remixed and remastered Sorcerees is coming out anytime (according to Fredrik). Stefan Boman remixed it and it's supposed to be amazing and it sounds "killer" according to Fredrik.

[@beachhockey]

15:24 that was the wildest plot twist of all time 😱😂

[@witchofdunkeld]

Opeth was my favourite band for YEARS, no question about it. I tried so hard to get into Heritage but I hated it, and not a fan of any of the albums after Watershed. So I'd half written them off. Then the new album came out and has blown me away. It's like having a best friend back after fifteen years. I'm currently listening through the discography again, could I rank them- no chance.

[@toksic424]

Damnation is my go to album after a show

[@enriquetorres4224]

Totalmente de acuerdo con tu lista 👌🏼

[@christiandubeau20]

I was disagreeing with this tier list until the last 30 seconds. Then I was like....hell yeah!!! :D

[@threestringsomg]

Im with you. I think they are the current and have been the greatest living band for a long time now. No album is less than 8 and half the discography at least is a 10. So hard to rank but despite Testament joining the legion of 10s, my top of S Tier is still jointly held by Still Life and the gripping Watershed. Opeth simply are STUNNING!!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 ..... controversial but Heritage chaos is my bag as is the fantastic Sorceress. So they are in the 10s for me and i go back v often to those. Love the ending of video😂😂😂😂

[@Dreamwar19]

Morningrise is still my favorite ❤️ Advent is my favorite song

[@wastelander1015]

For me: 1. Still Life 10/10 2. Ghost Reveries 10/10 3. Deliverance 10/10 4. Blackwater Park 9/10 5. The Last Will and Testament 8,5/10 6. Watershed 8/10 7. Damnation 8/10 8. Pale Communion 7,5/10 9. Morningrise 7,5/10 10. My Arms, Your Hearse 7,5/10 11. In Cauda Venenum 7/10 12. Sorceress 7/10 13. Orchid 7/10 14. Heritage 6/10

[@Aenigmakil]

Almost like mine. The 10/10s I fully agree with. But Sorceress much lower, worst album. 5/10. Watershed much higher...

[@markrichardson8378]

I was at that show,one of the best shows I have been to. Love the ,last will & testament,but my top 2 are still,watershed then pale communion.

[@danieldelrio1411]

1. Time Will Testament 2. Ghost Reveries 3. Still Life 4. Watershed 5. Black Water Park ❤❤❤❤

[@beachhockey]

I actually really enjoy their 2010s 60s/70s prog rock era. Heritage is great imo

[@baaltroth1957]

All albums are A tier for me

[@beachhockey]

Deliverance and watershed are too underrated:(

[@itswillyo5]

Literally everything you said about ghost reveries is true lol my gate way album that got me into it and harlequin forest is my fav song from them

[@awol1209]

Man I love Damnation too, Im so happy to see someone put this in S tier. I absolutely disagree about Pale Communion, I think its an amazing album. So many great songs on there to my ears. I agree about Sorceress, its their worst for sure. It has very dull production and aside from title track, its very meh.

[@martinnapier6286]

My S tier albums are Ghost Reveries Still Life My Arms Your Hearse Deliverance I probably love the rest enough to fit them all on A+ tier

[@Aenigmakil]

Pretty much! Except Sorceress. Bottom.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

In cauda is the truest opeth album of the prog and jus amazing. I haven't watched this at all yet, jus wanted to say that. Because that album fly by people that didn't listen to it enough to know it. It's too tier opeth, which is why he moved in, he perfected the prog era with it. It's epic n dark

[@BarnsOfChris]

Second! Always wanted to write that 😂

[@dirtyduck10]

LOL plot twiast they all S tier love it!

[@lawrencefine5020]

How dare you not think my favorite Opeth album is not your favorite Opeth album?? Seriously, aren't you glad music is always subjective and never objective?

[@Carbonisation]

10/10 | S Still Life Blackwater Park Ghost Reveries 9/10 | A My Arms, Your Hearse Deliverance Damnation Watershed The Last Will and Testament 8/10 | B Orchid Morningrise In Cauda Venenum 7/10 | C Heritage Pale Communion Sorceress The albums in each tier are just ordered in terms of release. They're about equal when in the same tier. The Last Will and Testament has grown on me a lot as well. The 9/10 albums are anything between 9-9.5. They are close to 10, but they have one or two songs that I would rate 7-8 (in terms of enjoyment), which brings them to 9/10, though they probably are 10/10 in general terms. I have the 10/10 albums, My Arms, Your Hearse, Damnation and Watershed on vinyl. Getting The Last Will and Testament soon as well, but Deliverance is rare and expensive for now. One day, I'll probably have all of their albums on vinyl, but there's many other albums that I want as well.

[@StefanoMauri-l4w]

My Varg Metal man do you like Within Temptation ?

[@lopolik]

All albums S tier, except for sorceress for me too actually.

[@araso9859]

The weirdest thing I think Mikael ever said was "We didn't master Sorceress because i can't understand what mastering is" Of course he knows what was he on about haha, It ended up sounding very muddy an worbly at times right?

[@fcamiola]

It's been remixed and remastered by Stefan Boman. Coming out probably 2025.

[@araso9859]

Really? Cool!!

[@fcamiola]

@@araso9859 I know! I recall Mikael saying that re: mastering and I think he was taking the piss. Fredrik spilled the beans in an interview recently. I'm super excited, I love that album but always hated the production, especially the drum tone.

[@Aenigmakil]

​@@fcamiolathey're remixing Sorceress? Everything about it is my least favourite Opeth record.

[@fcamiola]

​@@AenigmakilThen it looks like you'll take a pass on it.

[@AndDeathForAll82]

This is one ranking I’ve never attempted. Honestly, your joke of putting everything in S Tier is probably close by my actual opinion.

[@hvitekristesdod]

My hot take: their early stuff is death-doom. Fight me 😂

[@Aenigmakil]

§1: Still Life, Deliverance, Damnation, Ghost Reveries, Watershed §2: My Arms, Your Hearse, Blackwater Park §3: Orchid, Morningrise, The Last WILL and TESTAMENT §4: Pale Communion, In Cauda Venenum §5: Heritage §6: Sorceress

[@NocturnalSummoning45]

Do you like the side project of Mikael Akerfeldt and Steve Wilson called Storm Corrosion? 2012 album

[@Questformetal]

Loved it

[@stefanoriva3525]

Very funny way to end the video... surprised for not seeing Blackwater Park in S tier from the beginning

[@acbeats3994]

What band would you recommend for me? My top favs are 1. Tool 2. Meshuggah 3. Gojira

[@MrDraehl]

My very simple tier list: S) Blackwater Park A) Still Life through Ghost Reveries B) Everything else. If I had to pick a least favorite it would be Watershed as it just felt phoned in. "I'm bored making death metal but not yet ready to commit to Prog Rock" and just such a quality drop following Ghost Reveries.

[@Aenigmakil]

Terrible opinion. Watershed > Blackwater Park

[@fcamiola]

Best band ever. And Cardiacs.

[@brandonalietti6895]

Opef

[@fred_albuquerque.mendes]

Blackwater Park is S+, above them all....

[@Aenigmakil]

Still Life and Ghost Reveries >>>>>>>>

[@Kymystery]

I don't like the new one. There isn't one memorable moment on it. In Cauda was FULL of them. I'm disappointed honestly.

[@DesolateSolitude]

You scored heritage too high.

[@NeptuneTowers]

Opeth fan since forever, 1997 I guess, but I still don't like My Arms, Your Hearse. Never did, never will, I'm afraid. For me it's the weakest of the metal albums

[@henrywalton5967]

Damn I think it's an amazing album 😲

[@flyfeeder6276]

It’s okay, we’re all wrong from time to time

[@symphonyxfan]

Very interesting. I’ve always thought it has a really beautiful mood to it that drags you in but to each their own

[@chilepeulla]

I didnt like it before because of the production but I powered through that and I like it very much now, I play it front to back regularly

[@flyfeeder6276]

@ have you heard the abbey road remaster? The new mixes of orchid and morning rise are also way better than the originals imo. Can’t go back now

[@barsknos]

Top 3: My Arms, Your Hearse, Deliverance and Watershed. Bottom 3: Heritage, Sorceress, Ghost Reveries (yes! pretentious drivel). The new one is smack in the middle of it all. Average for Opeth, but a 3.5/5 so still pretty good.

[@Aenigmakil]

Ghost Reveries at the bottom?? Bloody hell. This is thee most single worst Opeth opinion I've ever heard.

[@Addede]

Still life is so insanely overrated imo

[@Nick_K1te]

My Version Perfection: Damnation, Pale Communion, In Cauda Venenum Fantastic: MAYH, Watershed, Blackwater Park, The Last Will And Testament Good: Ghost Reveries, Sorceress Okay: Deliverance, Heritage Meh: Still Life, Morningrise, Orchid

[@zschokks5583]

If you had still life higher i would agree 100%. Love your spicy takes!

[@Nick_K1te]

@zschokks5583 "Still Life" just doesn't click for me. But it is better than the first two albums anyway.
