You two are mad haha. I love this but not that much. Ironically the album I come back to the most is Pale Communion, so I guess I am crazy too

I can see why people love it though

I’m scared to return to this. Everything else Opeth fell off pretty hard vs where I’d previously considered it to be.

I can’t get on with that in any way, shape or form.

Yeah PC (and Sorceress) is awful. There are levels here

Sorceress is quality. Rocks like fuck.

Sorceress has better songs but sounds like it was recorded using cardboard. The material was decent live

Heritage & In Cauda are their best rock albums by far

I love Pale Communion and Heritage equally. Sorceress is my least fav opeth album, but it's got a couple of quite good songs. In cauda is pretty decent, but it doesn't touching PC or heritage

In Cauda is best post-Watershed by a trillion miles. Heritage is cool but PC and Sorceress really suck.

I disagree. "Pale Communion" is better than "Heritage".

I mean this is all-over-the-place but still… CHARM! 🥰

…but for real this ain’t a 5, especially when I have so few

In The Mist / Forest of October admittedly carry the runtime somewhat, relative to the remainder they feel very inspired. Uneven album. Undeniably chock full of thicc atmos and some killer segments of course (medieval melodies ftw!), it’s just a little fragmented. Idk, I see the flaws a lot more now and that connection has dissipated slightly (knew this would happen tbh) and need to make room. M The Mist remains and absolute all-timer tho



I can see me flip-flopping back to Morningwood in fact

I recognize that in cauda is a step up from sorceress and PC, but man I can't even be bothered. We've been in this era longer than the classic one, and I'm long over it.
