With thousands of cds in my collection that might not be possible. Lol.
You can't take a photograph of Uzis on a street corner.
Alright, break it up here. This is way too much discussion about the least best Opeth albums!!
Duncan's going to make a Horns Emoticon!!!
NP: Watershed
I have the "deluxe" edition of Watershed, in that cardboard CD wallet that looks like a small envelope, with the bonus disk in a separate cardboard sleeve from the main disk. I forget how I got it, but I just noticed (I'd forgotten) the booklet is signed by the band! I'm not that big on autographs, but it's kind of cool to have something signed by Opeth!
I like the photos in Watershed - it's like a more "evil" version of Thick as a Brick!

Steel was basically a short-lived Swedish metal group with Mikael, Peter, Anders Nordin, and Dan Swano! The EP was recorded during the Morningrise sessions in '96. Crazy that this exists!
Opeth released a song to streaming services recently, "Width of a Circle," which was previously only included in a special "connoisseur's edition" of In Cauda Venenum. Only heard it once, so can't comment on quality. Wasn't there a David Byrne track with the same title? If not Byrne, someone from his...circle.

I don't think I'd ever heard of this, and I was obsessed with Opeth to the exclusion of all other music for years (big EoS fan too as you'd imagine). Jeez what a hoot. I can't imagine that I'll ever listen to it again, other than maybe to amuse some other old-school Opeth fans with it, but it gave me a chuckle. Pretty interesting story too.

Thanks to this thread I got all the albums from Damnation to In Cauda Venenum. I do prefer the "clean vox" albums though.
Nice. Glad you're digging em. What do you think of Ghost Reveries and Watershed?
The extended version of In Cauda Venenum is now fully available, with six bonus tracks (three extra songs in each language) :

Maybe you are thinking of the David Bowie song?
Have most of Opeth in 5.1, but finding Damnation & Deliverance has been an expensive endeavor. Listening to Opeth in 5.1 is an experience.
How expensive?

Sounds amazing. Never heard them in 5.1. They sound lovely on 2-channel stereo on cd and lp too
Except they sound as if you only had two ears.Sounds amazing. Never heard them in 5.1. They sound lovely on 2-channel stereo on cd and lp too

Around $100 or higher if you can find it.
I only have the two original CDs. Is this a compilation of the two that includes 5.1?

A deluxe edition was released a few years ago with both albums remastered on CD and DVD's with 5.1 mixes of both. Was in one of those book-sized cases (i.e. Jethro Tull, Marillion remasters).
