Yea they definitely are more progressive than progressive death. I love Deliverance, My Arms, You Hearse, and Blackwater Park.

Still Life is a fucking masterpiece of an album!!!

Blackwater Park is their finest album to date. Watershed was meh

Agreed. their other albums are awesome though.

I love Watershed, but if Mikael Akerfeldt song writing turns even more towards 70's progressive style, it may be best released under a different name. Or else I think he will be pissing off a lot of Opeth fans, at least the ones who have followed the band the last ten years or more...

Honestly, the only tracks worth listening to off of Watershed are "Coil", "Heir Apparent", "The Lotus Eater", and "Porcelain Heart". Everything else was a snore fest. That's just my opinion, of course.

Im gonna admit to being a bit of a dribbling opeth fan boy, as they're probably my all time favourite band.

personally, i think you could make an argument for any album from MA,YH onwards for being their best (perhaps excluding damnation).

Still life is my favourite, but i really liked watershed, and i like the direction Akerfeld is taking the band in.

amazing, brilliant outfit

ps albums: "Blackwater Park" & "Ghost Reveries"

Overrated.

I must agree with you on this. I can still listen too them, but they're overrated. Highly.

The music is beutiful, but the lenght of their albums scares me off. I think that album should last for about 40-50 minutes, so I could easily listen to it in a whole. When I try to do it with Opeth I got bored after first 3 songs, so I need to listen them individualy.

Not a very big fan. Have tried to get to like them, but I just can't

I especially like the albums Still Life, Blackwater Park and Damnation. It took me a while before I bought Ghost Reveries and still didn't buy Watershed. Í think I am a bit tired of Opeth their sound, because in my opinion they are stuck in their sound.

I thought Watershed was more well liked than this. Personally I love it, think it's their most varied and interesting work yet.

Opeth are fucking gods to me! My favorite album is Probably "Blackwater Park" or "Still Life" but the others are very good too

I changed my mind, listened to them a little more the past few days and I have to say I judged them a little too quickly. They're really starting to grow on me, especially Blackwater Park, Still Life and Ghost Reveries Still not a very big fan of Watershed tho.

And Damnation... I think I could really like it, if I'm in the right mood for it. Think it's one of those albume that I really have to be in the right mood to enjoy.

That's what happened with me too. I thought they were boring the first time I heard them... Now I love the band.

Yep same thing happened to me with Opeth and most prog. But my god it is so worth it when you get into it.

I've liked them since the start. I believe it was "Deliverance" that I first heard.

I like Watershed

Watershed has some diamond-material. Especially Heir Apparent was a killer live-opener last February .

Well, there in my sig, so that must say something about the band...
