3 votes for Godhead's Lament? Do we even want top 10 songs in this top 10 
Eliminated after Round 29:
Bleak - 3 votes
White Cluster - 3 votes
Windowpane - 3 votes
These 3 songs, Deliverance and Godhead's Lament all had the same number of votes, so the average number of votes per round decided who went out.
Top 10 begins! You can only vote for 3 songs now.

I honestly agree, even though I'm an advocate for Still Life being head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. But I'm fine with this because most of the album is probably top 15-25 for me.

Next time we should just count “The entire Still Life album” as one track and automatically place it at #1. Then we’d have 9 full spots open!I agree, it's a disgrace.
Should've been 6

I'm okay with Still Life being high, not okay with Serenity itself, which is my only vote in this round.
(and honestly, Face of Melinda is also ridiculously overrated for what it is)

I actually agree about Melinda. It’s one of the lesser 10/10’s on the album.

I don't get how someone can vote against that second riff there (the first under the vocals, the "spidery" one), let alone the intro one.
Voted for Ghost of Perdition, The Leper Affinity and Godhead's Lament.

It's not even so much that I dislike the Still Life album, I like it a lot, but Opeth being one of my favorite bands I also find the caliber of material on their albums (pretty much everything from Still Life to Watershed) to be pretty consistent. So I would expect more representation from more albums.

Agreed. And, just like Ghost of Perdition, it takes you on a huge journey and literally the most catchy moment, the moment that screams, "GOD PLEASE LET THE SONG KEEP GOING!" takes place at the last second. Easy top Opeth song.

I do agree, in general, but I don't actually think any Opeth album is as consistent as Still Life. Objectively, Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries might be better albums, but I don't think they are consistently better all the way through.
...if that makes any sense.
