@Detective Beauregard!

 

[Detective Beauregard]

I can't believe all the votes for Nepenthe. Top 3 on Heritage for sure!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I can't believe all the votes for Nepenthe. Top 3 on Heritage for sure!

I mirror your non-belief, except replace Nepenthe with Slither, because Nepenthe is the worst song on the album and Slither is Top 3.

 

[Mosh]

Slither is my least favorite, way out of place. Just realized I had Nepenthe confused with a different song on the album.

This is a tough album to rank. There are bits of it that I like but at least half the songs I wouldn't be able to recognize by name. The whole thing really flows together for me.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

The whole album does bleed together, it's true. Without Slither, I think the atmosphere would become quite dull far too early in the album. My biggest problem with Nepenthe, and half of the album, is the terrible and/or complete lack of musical transitions between unrelated parts.

Haxprocess & Lines

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Haxprocess and Famine

Famine is one of the most cobbled together messes I've ever heard Opeth do. Some of the parts are still really cool, but overall it's a very mediocre song.

 

[The Flash]

Famine is awesome. I don't hear any "cobbling together" on it, flows very well.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

@Detective Beauregard - you are falling behind, sir. I should not have to tag you every time!

Wow, 3 votes for Voice of Treason. Great track at first listen.

 

[Mosh]

Yea I love that one. Also a big fan of Goblin and River, some of the best tracks on the album.
