    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    Funnily I had PC and Morningrise side by side in my list and it was the duo I sat longest on. Morningrise is the "I'm giving it too much credit" one, and most of it is thanks to Advent. It still has a lot of those rapid changes that hinder the first three albums, but if there's a song where it...

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    Third to last for me too. I saw some people say it was the beginning of the golden era, and well it's correct in a way. The change from counterpoint to signature Opeth riffing does happen here, not on Still Life. On the other hand, there are still remnants of the black metal aspect, including...

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    Wooooah, that's a lot of #12s guys. I don't really understand what you mean here. It's bound to be lower rated as it's Newpeth, but it's the consensus best of those (not here I guess). But how is TLWAT related? I do like ICV a lot, enough for it to break the old/new boundary I imagine most of...

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    I like all Opeth albums that aren't Heritage, that being said, I have Orchid second to last. Sadly it came late to my Opeth party and I never gave it special attention like I did the others, however my thoughts on it remained consistent whenever it came up: In Mist She Was Standing is a banger...

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    Interesting, I always felt it's the lightest Opeth record and this is also part of the reason I could rank it so high, it stands out this way. You've got easier melodies, more "standard" rock energy (Era, Chrysalis), and instead of "dying men in bewildered soliloquies", "I'm a sinner and I...

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    And all is right with the world. Heritage has "a vibe" and that's it. Not much more than a random assortment of ideas, some of them are more pleasant to the ear, the others less, but they all feel like they're only friends with each other because they fit some atmospheric frame. It's aimless and...

    Bruce Dickinson Solovivor 2024 - "BOOK OF THEL" WINS!

    I quite like it, but I agree, it doesn't have the magic of the other 9 here. Should have been Navigate or Kill Devil Hill for sure.

    Wrong @Collin I presume :P Hopefully tomorrow I get home and I'll do a quick marathon maybe, but I have a concept of a list.

    Nice! Go for it, I've completed the B-sides and they had some very fun gameplay. I'll put the next bit in spoilers I guess, but it doesn't really spoil anything, just want to share my great mistake(=rant about it).

    Dream Theater

    Very exciting, it has a big BC&SL vibe (some self-plagiarism even), I like the production and LaBrie sounds very good actually. I don't know this word but it's a cool album name. Cover is like the twisted counterpart of I&W's which is fun. 1) In The Arms Of Morpheus (5:22) 2) Night Terror...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    I want to help Meshuggah but I like Fucking Hostile more. Prophecy is more interesting than I remembered, I'll go with it. Egypt is very strong too Not here for this Manowar song, Dark Tranquility is cool. More Than a Feeling is so unbelievably good. How do songs like this exist? Only going...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    My Generation needs to STFU. I was writing in the Metallica ranking thread and the moment this came on my line of thought was snapped. For the entire duration of the song. Was it created to annoy people?!

    METALLICA ALBUM RANKING GAME: FINAL LIST

    Hardwired - where I differ from most is that I really like disc 2. ManUNkind has interesting rhythms and an oddly uplifting vibe, Am I Savage is pretty out there too, and Confusion and Revenge are solid. Disc 1, minus the title track which is quite awful, is one banger after the other. Halo and...

    Anyone played Celeste? I got it in the summer and finally got around to playing it. I don't play platformers but I really like it, it feels very smooth. Great dialogue and phenomenal soundtrack!! I got most collectibles in the main game, I and did the first two extra levels. I'll see how close...

    My father discovered what the screaming red face album is. Claims he's addicted. It's kind of funny to hear in the secure space but hey, I'm not arguing. Actually half a year ago my friend shared it with me too, which he rarely does. Talk about timelessness!

    It had the same trajectory for me, most of side 1 did actually. I wonder how much time will still change the consensus opinion on it.
