Just a reminder: If you love the stuff Michael doesn't love as much, that's great! Love what you love!
(Also Morningrise is NOT a bad album.)
In fact, Morningrise and Still Life are the best
Morningrise is fantastic. Still retained some of that black metally goodness from Orchid, but more refined.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, though.
@@metalswifty23 this
@@metalswifty23 Black Rose Immortal alone places it near the top of Opeth's discog for me. Just beautiful
@@brazzledazzle_ It's a masterpiece of a song.
I am both insulted but also completely understand why Morningrise is just "alright"
Yeah, it’s got similar issues that Orchid had (The biggest being the production) but it certainly is an improvement from Orchid 100%.
Yeah, I can understand why people dislike it as it's drastically different from My Arms, Your Hearse onwards, but it's still in my top 3; Black Rose Immortal and To Bid You Farewell are masterpieces.
Lmao ironically Orchid and Morningrise are my top two
@@ElliYeetYT both has classic black metal sound quality, thats probably why you dont like it although both are really good in my opinion
¿Production? ¿Production for real? Early Death Metal and obviously Black Metal had that primal sound…
Production ffs 🤦🏻♂️
Still Life:
"I sat on the grass with someone there, I sat on the grass with someone who loved me. I've never seen her again and I don't think I'll ever see that place I went, far, far away."
Blackwater Park:
"Sometimes you come home, and there's no one in. There are no lights on. No food ready. No telly. No one laughing. No jokes. Just you, on your own. That's when my brain starts doing things. You know, murderers and mad dog stuff."
Deliverance:
"There was an awful yelling and crying. There was the noise of chains rattling and someone shouting. Suddenly the man came running onto the stage in front of the curtains. All his clothes were torn, there was blood on his face, and he screamed, "Quick! Get out! Get out of here!"
Ghost Reveries:
"It was on the end of a string. And he starts swinging the conker to and fro in front of Trevor's eyes. And he starts up, talking in a spooky voice: Watch the conker. Watch the conker. Go to sleep. Go to sleep..."
The song Twilight is my robe and forest of October from the album orchid has great intros.
Orchid has many great intros to the songs.
Dude in the mist she was standing is literally melodic death metal riff heaven!!~ its freaking amazing imo!!
I will say it’s the best one off that album. I’ll certainly give credit to THAT song.
It's the only song that doesnt suck in the album
I read the title as "Dude in the mist".
I feel like I'm the only person who absolutely loves Sorceress
Ghost Reveries literally feels this way when you first listen to it
"No" on Orchid is punished by death
I shall Accept I guess lol
Amazing! I love these. I'd LOVE to see Nevermore, or Deep Purple! Deep Purple should be great because they have a huge catalogue, and many different marks😂😂😂
The Deep Purple One is currently in the works. :)
@@ElliYeetYT
@@ElliYeetYTNice
Ah Morningrise... My favourite album of music in general.
His reaction to the prog rock albums is as confusing as the albums
In my opinion every Opeth album is amazing. Every one is a bit different than The other (and some a bit more). I do however understand and respect that not everyone thinks the same.
A man of culture. I see 🍸
Perfection.
Poor Sorceress. The most underrated Opeth album
I get why people like it. It’s not like that it’s offensively bad or anything, it just didn’t hit that much for me. Same with Heritage.
Big props to them following up with In Cauda Venunum afterwards however.
Tbh I haven’t listened to any Opeth album, I just watch these videos so I get an idea as to which albums to listen to
Edit; I’ve started my Opeth journey with My Arms, Your Hearse
Listen to Morningrise. It's a fucking masterpiece. Not just "alright".
You can listen to any album and have your own opinions. Everyone has their own musical taste. 🙂
Ratio
Ok but listen to orchid. Just make sure it's the remaster
Damnation is nothing more than sheer perfection
0:07 "I was benighted, the inspector was benighted".
Nice
I love Opeth man I just love Opeth man
Man I'd love to see one of these for Coheed, that'd be wild
The Damnation part is very accurate
Spot on as always!
If you are in to Foo Fighters, i would really like Michael's take on their discography 👍
I’ll consider doing that one. Would be a lovely tribute to Taylor.
@@ElliYeetYT Awesome 🤟
Haha the first one gets me every time "NOOO!!!!"
Morningrise is my favorite album ever from Opeth discography. I understand why its undervalued but the same reasons are its quality to me. None come close.
I agree until Heritage...I love it
Exactly.
That’s totally fine. I understand that. 👍
Orchid’s great
To be fair I do understand it’s the band’s first album and I do like the first track but compared to almost everything else? Just No, there’s no way it tops that.
From their new, less metal albums, my absolute favorite track is Elysian Woes, no doubts.
Sorceress slaps!
Awesome haha
Morningrise is not a bad album
It's not bad, but you can tell they were still finding their feet, particularly with the mixing and mastering
Ayo first two albums are fire 🤨🤨
Orchid is better than everything the band released after 2001
Morningrise is great. Fight me.
Sorceress is my fav
I can certainly see why people like it but honestly I was a bit bored with the album.
@@ElliYeetYT for me, as an enjoyer of progressive and folk rock/metal it is an amazing album, anything but boring
any album with black rose immortal is not just alright
To be fair it’s a big improvement from Orchid, so by “Alright” in this context here basically means that: “Yes, It’s Getting Better.”
@@ElliYeetYT i agree I basiclly look at morningrise as the first true album
Melvins or Boris next, please!
I’d love to see all the Dragonforce albums done next
My arms your hearse is so underrated
0:08 Inspector = Steven Wilson
For me its all peach syrup
Cmon I like sorceress
This is amazing, wonder what you can do with Iron Maiden
That’s already up on RUclips!
ruclips.net/video/UP_SsRvkgGs/видео.html
@@ElliYeetYT Haha ik but it's not made by you, yours are awesome! If you want one that isn't on RUclips, try WASP or Queensrÿche
Pls do Thin Lizzy or Prince next
I wonder what Michael thinks of Mudvayne...
Heritage is a fucking Masterpiece. The negativity about that album revolved around “true fans that forgot they where 11 years into the 21st Century” Thinking we were frozen in time and expecting thins to always remain the same. Heritage is an album for people that actually listen to more than only metal… like Mikael Arkerfeldt shurely does. It’s for people that actually understand the “prog” part in “prog death metal”
They were not even Prog death metal at that point with Heritage, they transitioned into just Prog with that album. Not against that idea but I wish it was as good as In Cauda Venenum.
Look it’s far from being “Worst Album Of All Time” material and I see why people like it.
@@ElliYeetYT Read this until you get the point: “It’s for people that actually understand prog”.
As I see you are a slow one, I’ll tell you: It’s a prog album, sunshine.
That album alone can easily destroy other bands discographies. ;)
Orchid being just "NOOO!" sent me xD
Could you do one for Dillinger Escape Plan?
That’s an excellent idea
The problem to me with Orchid and Morningrise is not the production but the composition. The riff connections are inconsistent at times, and even though they last the same as their best songs, I get so bored with these ones.
Some riffs are very memorable tho!
I love most of the riffs, I think they are great but its more the transition between. They use so many just stop....then start again that you wouldn't know a new song has started or not unless your really familiar
@@Geneius2509 Exactly! That exactly my problem with those albums. Maybe that is why it feels like the songs are eternal, since it seems like they're different songs already XD
As someone who is not familiar with Opeth, where would be a good starting place for me to get into their music?
Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries are the best of their death metal + mellow clean vocals albums. Damnation/Deliverance are also standouts and complement each other well.
They shifted their style to all clean vocals starting with Heritage (which is their most forgettable imo) and have been improving with each new album. Their newest, In Cauda Venenum, was released both in Swedish and English, and I think it's their best from their current era.
Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries you should 100% start with. 🙂
Blackwater Park then Deliverance/Damnation, Then Ghost Reveries then Watershed.
REQUEST: Ween albums described by Michael Rosen.
Bruh I absolutely love orchid. While the production ain't so good, the songs are still heavy and almost black metalish lol I love it X3 but ofc they did get alot better with later albums :3
Yeah certainly. And To be fair it was their first album, compared to almost every other album I just feel like it gets swamped with the production, especially on that last track.
what's wrong with Orchid?
the rest is fairly accurate even though I personally liked Heritage. Anything after it had me pretty bored though
In Cauda Venenum is actually really good in the Swedish version imo
@@teethcoat4274 I gave it a listen the other day and tbh there wasn't a single track that caught my attention. Glad you enjoyed it, but definitely not for me
Request stone sour albums described by Michael Rosen
That’s a pretty good idea I’ll consider that. 👍
@@ElliYeetYT hell yeah
Three Days grace albums by michael?
I didn't really get the sorceress one
It basically meant that I was mostly bored with it.
Can you please do Guns N Roses
I’ll do that one next! 👍😁
Up on the channel now
I will fight you on Orchid and Morningrise (jk lol). Other than that I agree 😂
Dio albums?
First album...No!! Hahaha
Why does Orchid get so much hate? lol
Just not my thing. Productionwise and Song Writing-wise. Its far from being dreadful or a "Worst Albums Of All Time" thing.
Do Dream Theater Pls
That one is already up on RUclips!
See, the thing is, you're wrong about Orchid.
Totally fine if you enjoy it more than I do. 🙂
@@ElliYeetYT although my opinion may be based on the remaster after the fact.
😂
This is an example of the only content I want to see on the Internet
Never liked melodic death. I prefer the raw simplicity of old skull death metal, but I recognize the inmense Mikael's talent.
You'd probably like Bloodbath then, if you didn't know them already. 1st and 3rd albums had Mikael on them, 2nd album had Peter Tägtgren from Hypocrisy, and they currently have Old Nick from Paradise Lost as their vocalist.
As a side note, they may have a lot of melody, but they were a progressive death metal band. Melodeath would be bands like Amon Amarth, At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity etc.
i kid you not, i stopped watching this video literally one second in when he said "no" and "alright" to Morningstar and Orchid. gtfo with that BS
They’re not Bad, they just feel weaker than most of the stuff the band would make.
@@ElliYeetYT i just see them as different styles, not weaker. they have a distinctly different sound to anything past Still Life but the musicianship is certainly still there and i love both those albums.
