At this point I would literally watch you react to the entire Opeth discography. So many good suggestions here, pick anything, you'll be amazed and I'll be happy for you.
@@andthegreatcolddeathofthee1737 at first I avoided the growls of Opeth but Drapery Falls was the one song (as well as bleak) because of the clean vocals and that slow getting used to the growls led me to loving the growls. I think I've just moved on from Drapery Falls as it's no where near my favorite anymore. Still a good song tho
Ghost Reveries might be the greatest metal album ever made....only to be challenged by other Opeth albums. Beyond amazing. Mikael is a true musical genius imo....my musical background consists of a bachelor's and master's in music.
Perfection died in 1650 and was reincarnated into Mikael Åkerfeldt. There's no better way to describe Mikael's music and as performed by Opeth live or on albums where it seems every instrument have been through a particular choice for each note what to play and where, although it might just be several playthroughs getting there or even ideas being built as they record in the studio, or it could just be Mikael's vision comes through in a genius way by him and his formidable bandmembers. His genius is not only in the riffing but all the more in the transitions and giving you just the perfect amount of each moment. Bach would be proud. That's the only way I can describe his music. I wouldn't want to change a thing anywhere - much like I wouldn't want to change anything in Bach's music. Bach made thousands of pieces of music - I hope Mikael does too. Love the reaction, btw. :-) As many people already said, go throught the catalogue, you don't even have to pick just don't touch the pick-up.
Awesome as usual. Love seeing people "get" good music! The cool thing about bands like Opeth is their songs don't get old. They just get better and better the more you listen to them because you start learning all the peaks and valleys and you notice more little technical flairs each time you listen. Keep it up guys, you're one of the best!
I am so glad they wrote this album with Lopez still in the band. While Axe is still a good drummer, it just wouldn't be the same. The drumming on this album was a huge highpoint.
You guys MUST do OPETH WHEN.. Their best song...guarentee u guys will love it...been an opeth fan since orchid, saw their 2nd u.s. show ever n seen them like 15 times, and when will always be my fave song, the my arms your hearse record is a masterpiece
Ghost reveries is the best album ever done...all categories! It's breathtaking in every possible way. I cry when I listen to it. The Talent of Opeth is beyond everything
D_MUSIC_LIFE - Would you please, with your wife, do a reaction to the band: SOEN? They have tons of great music but following you since the car days I believe you’d really dig either Martyrs or another track called Antagonist. These guys are a super group with Opeth’s former drummer Mr. Lopez. You’re missing out, my friends! Love you 2 otherwise. Happy Thanksgiving friends!!
I think they'd prefer songs such as Opponent, Sectarian or Opal as an introduction to the band. Antagonist and Martyrs are too political and could be too controversial topics
You should try "the grand conjuration" from the same album, its one of their more accessible tracks but it still slaps, junt remember to do the full length version, not the shortened version in the video
Your reaction videos are so gooood. I look the same. It took me 4 months to learn basic opeth stuff on guitar ( i started with ghost of perdition). It's mind-blowing how Mikael wrote that piece. Sending love from the Czech Republic!
Next two songs Leper Affinity live at Shepherds Bush Empire, you get to see Martin Lopez beating the shit out of his drums and peak Akerfeldt live growls Lovelorn Crime from their latest album, some of the finest work they’ve done Everything is 🔥 tho Opeth’s on a different level
It's such a trip to watch adults hear this for the first time, totally agree! My first Opeth experience was my freshman year of high school living in germany with my family in 1996. This video made me feel young again while simultaneously feeling old as shit, lol.
Ok, so the obvious thing to do would be to go ahead to "Beneath the Mire", the track that follows this one on the album. But what I personally would love see would be a double: listen to The Grand Conjuration with all its heaviness and then let that fade into the album's concluding "Isolation Years", one of the most beautiful tracks by Opeth.
Seen them live Three times. All epic sets, each one completely different. Opeth!!! Look up Katatonia...they toured with Opeth, saw them twice with Opeth.
I came as soon as I saw the notification. I've followed these guys and they honestly are the best reactors to Opeth songs. They really get into their music and enjoy the details. You're ready for The Moor and won't regret it.
I've seen your reaction once more and I think it's great to see how you respond to Opeth. To be honest, the Ghost Reveries album should be listened to in full length and it would be awesome to see you react to it. Listen to Opeth is like going to the theatre and watch the pictures in your mind be drawn by the music, it becomes a performance of a drama. The album is the play and the songs are the acts.
I hear the baying of the hounds In the distance, I hear them devouring Pest ridden jackals of the earth Diabolical beasts and roaming the forests In wait and constant protectors Calling you to sit by his side Your self loathing image in his flesh A revelation upon which you linger His words are flies Swarming towards the true insects Feasting on buried dreams And spreading decay upon your skin His eyes spew forth a darkness That cut through and paralyze Casts light upon your secrets Forced to confront your enemies His mouth is a vortex Sucking you into it's pandemonium Fools you with a helping hand of ashes Reached out in false dismay His body is a country The cities lay dead and beyond despair Friends turned enemies unable to come clean In a rising fog of reeking death Everything you believed is a lie Everyone you loved is a death burden So you take comfort in him And you are receptive to stark wishes No longer struggling to declare your stand You would inflict no harm to others They are unaware of you And in a loop of futile events You are everything, they are nothing Drown in the deep mire With past desires Beneath the mire Drown desire now with you Lined up verses on dead skin "The tainted lips of the stranger Resting upon hers" And I embrace bereavement Everything beloved is shattered anyway I would devote myself to anyone I would accept any flaws I am too weak to resist Tension vibrating with horror Finding the outcast in my eyes Pushing nerves on a puppet Endless poison in my veins Clean intent now tainted with death And so, cold touch now inhumane Every waking hour Awaiting a reverie to unfold And now they are calling me Louder by the minute The baying of the hounds Calling me back to my home
You should react to their newer stuff too. Eternal rains will come is one of my favourites from them. (Not nearly as heavy but still amazing prog rock)
A gem you haven't discovered yet : The Contortionist - Language I :Intuition and Language II :Conspire ( back to back) They're an underrated progressive rock /metal band.
I like you folks but I have not heard Opeth and wanted to see because Queen TaTi says she learned from these folks keep up the good work I love watching you just subbed because of that later!
Awesome reaction guys!. Opeth can do no wrong! 🤘Ya guys need to check out Heir Apparent and the Lotus Eater from their 2008 album Watershed. It's their last album with death growls before they changed to 70s prog rock style .
I think you guys could check Shokran out some time. Cool egyptian vibe, heavy and high quality. You may like it. About Opeth, I'd say Cusp of Eternity or Lotus Eater
Each Opeth album deserves a listen from start to finish, starting with Orchid. My Arms thru Blackwater need 2 listens, once for the music, once for the lyrical story. But really, there's no wrong way to experience Opeth.
ahh im enjoying this roller coaster opeth ride with you guys \m/ - IVE seen a few requests for ' The Lotus Eater ' and so i thought id also throw in for that one as i feel it doesnt get enough love
Check still life album- the moor, serenity painted death, moonlapse vertigo. Mr. Akerfeldt will sing you guys mellow lullabies like an angel as well as growl like a demon:)
At this point Ghost Reveries is a classic. Every song in this album is amazing.
Except for hours of wealth
@@Celatra Hours of wealth is one of the best songs on the album lol
@@dissonantpulse far from it, isolation years is a much better ballad
@@Celatra That's true but it's better song than The Grand Conjuration.
Yep, Rush 2112, Sabbath Master of Reality, Zeppelin IV, and Opeth Ghost Reveries.
Just when I was about to be productive, But I will never skip an opeth video
dude same hahahaha
Same.
At this point I would literally watch you react to the entire Opeth discography. So many good suggestions here, pick anything, you'll be amazed and I'll be happy for you.
This the most unsung masterpiece in their collection. Quintessential Opeth!
It is. WIth a proper sound setup it's like being hit by a train of awesomeness. When the song ends, I'm all shaky.
The chord 5:24 and transition into 5:28 is the darkest/most evil riff I've ever heard.
The Entire Still Life album
Great shout! I don’t think I have seen them listen to anything from that record yet
Oh, please!! I hope they react to White Cluster.
The whole album is a jewel.
Opeth - Serenity Painted Death
I second this. Best song from still life imo
Yessssss 🙏🙏🙏
🤩
Please put their song “The Lotus Eater” in the poll.
"Demon of the Fall" is a must.
Yep pretty similar !
Yeah, Demon of the Fall next please!
U damn right !
finally, someone said it.
Karma is better imo
The Moor, Windowpane, Cusp Of Eternity, The Devil's Orchid, or The Lotus Eater
Orchard*
All good but my all time favorite The Drapery Falls!
@@andthegreatcolddeathofthee1737 at first I avoided the growls of Opeth but Drapery Falls was the one song (as well as bleak) because of the clean vocals and that slow getting used to the growls led me to loving the growls. I think I've just moved on from Drapery Falls as it's no where near my favorite anymore. Still a good song tho
The Lotus Eater is FIRE.
The end of devil's orchard gives me chills every time with that solo
For Opeth, please review Heir Apparent or Face of Melinda!!
Perhaps my favorite Opeth track. Everything that makes them great in a nutshell. Admittedly, a pretty big nutshell. :D
Moonlapse Vertigo always melts my mind, from the Still Life album. The Funeral Portrait is a great heavy hitter from Blackwater Park
There is more musical ideas in this song than into an entire pop album :))
Grand conjuration is another beast of a song on the same album
Guys, please try Windowpane or Burden to hear a different side by Opeth
This is genuinely a pretty accurate representation of my first reaction to Opeth. No words just pure joy and a lot of WHAT
A Fair Judgement is a must but so many classics, I envy you diving in for the first time. Great channel
Ghost Reveries might be the greatest metal album ever made....only to be challenged by other Opeth albums. Beyond amazing. Mikael is a true musical genius imo....my musical background consists of a bachelor's and master's in music.
HEIR APPARENT PLEASE
i second this! 🤘
I third this. One of their absolute heaviest songs for sure.
Preceded by Coil, it's a must.

The Drapery Falls, Master's Apprentices or The Grand Conjuration
My maaaaan!!!!!!
Godhead's lament plz, that's one of my favs, YES MORE OPETH PLEASE!
I am so glad they wrote this album with Lopez still in the band. While Axe is still a good drummer, it just wouldn't be the same. The drumming on this album was a huge highpoint.
My favorite bands/artists of all time (in no specific order):
Opeth
Cardiacs
Zappa
Jethro Tull
Magma
Yes
Rush
Hatfield and the North
You guys MUST do OPETH WHEN..
Their best song...guarentee u guys will love it...been an opeth fan since orchid, saw their 2nd u.s. show ever n seen them like 15 times, and when will always be my fave song, the my arms your hearse record is a masterpiece
agree
Serenity Painted Death!
BRO THE LEPPER AFFINITY, THE LOTUS EATER, THE GRAND CONJURATION, HEIR APPARENT
The drums at 3:06 man. Been a fan for about 14 years and it still gives me chills. Nice reactions of the band! Keep them coming! :)
Ghost reveries is the best album ever done...all categories! It's breathtaking in every possible way. I cry when I listen to it. The Talent of Opeth is beyond everything
Opeth - The Moor. You have to do Still Life, one of the greatest albums I have ever heard.
It’s crazy that you’ve done 5 fantastic songs from this band and you’ve still only scratched the surface of what Opeth has to offer
I agree, still life is a superb album
Opeth - Moonlapse vertigo
Opeth - Bleak
Can’t go wrong with Ghost Reveries, it’s a masterpiece! Beneath the Mire is the next track! Go for it! 🤘🍻
then grand conjuration
Ghost Reveries was the first album I ever heard of Opeth. I was floored. Haven't looked back. My favourite band of all time.
Finally.
D_MUSIC_LIFE - Would you please, with your wife, do a reaction to the band: SOEN?

Yessssss! Back in the saddle! Love your Opeth reactions guys!
🤘
It’s time to change it up... try Harvest or Windowpane... and your training will be complete, Opeth master you will be.
Absolutely one of the most genuine reaction channels out there. You guys deliver 110% of the time!
React to Opeth - The Moor
Definitely check out Bleak. Absolute Opeth masterpiece
I love watching your reactions. Reminds me of the first time I opened my opeth induction. I was and have remained an Opeth fan.
Love you so much guys and love this song im crying
You guys have to listen to The Drapery Falls. It’s a must!
Also if you want to try out a new band, you will definitely enjoy Meshuggah
You should try "the grand conjuration" from the same album, its one of their more accessible tracks but it still slaps, junt remember to do the full length version, not the shortened version in the video
I enjoyed watching them having so much fun for listening to this song for the first time. It's kind of how I reacted to Opeth for the first time
Face of Melinda! It’s a song that gives a different vibe from the others you’ve heard and one of their best!
One of their best songs imo
0:30 “Best made tacos of the earth, diabolical beans”I can never unhear it😂
This song is great to put on in the background and find yourself losing your shit while you clean the house
"The Moor" by Opeth is a great song, brutal and nasty riffs and beautiful acoustic sections for you to enjoy!
One of the most dynamic songs in the universe.
Opeth is the pinnacle of what music should be.
They are absolutely amazing live, too. Even better than the album.
Your reaction videos are so gooood. I look the same. It took me 4 months to learn basic opeth stuff on guitar ( i started with ghost of perdition). It's mind-blowing how Mikael wrote that piece. Sending love from the Czech Republic!
Next two songs
Leper Affinity live at Shepherds Bush Empire, you get to see Martin Lopez beating the shit out of his drums and peak Akerfeldt live growls
Lovelorn Crime from their latest album, some of the finest work they’ve done
Everything is 🔥 tho Opeth’s on a different level
I waited a month to see you guys blown away again.
YES!!! More Opeth!
Starting to really like you guys. Thanks for the vids.
i wished i could listen to these song for the first time as an adult haha.
It's such a trip to watch adults hear this for the first time, totally agree! My first Opeth experience was my freshman year of high school living in germany with my family in 1996. This video made me feel young again while simultaneously feeling old as shit, lol.

Love watching you guys react. Next best thing to hearing these tunes myself for the first time.
Seen them live Three times. All epic sets, each one completely different. Opeth!!! Look up Katatonia...they toured with Opeth, saw them twice with Opeth.
Thanks guys 👍Happy Thanksgiving ! Chicago Love 🤘🤘
Thank you! To you as well!
Dude! You and your wife have great taste in music
Opethian for life
Woaw excelente video y la playera de caifanes ♥️🤘🏻🤘🏻
I came as soon as I saw the notification. I've followed these guys and they honestly are the best reactors to Opeth songs. They really get into their music and enjoy the details. You're ready for The Moor and won't regret it.
Loved the reaction! And great song!! 🔥
I've seen your reaction once more and I think it's great to see how you respond to Opeth. To be honest, the Ghost Reveries album should be listened to in full length and it would be awesome to see you react to it. Listen to Opeth is like going to the theatre and watch the pictures in your mind be drawn by the music, it becomes a performance of a drama. The album is the play and the songs are the acts.
Love your guys reactions to Opeth. Been one of my top favorites for over 15 years. Your reaction is pure and beautiful. Love it ❤
I love Opeth and this lady...she is soooo beautiful
Opeth - the night and the silent water
Your reaction is awesome
Perfection at its finest! As always with Opeth!
Good to have you guys back with the best band of them all! Try opeth heir apparent
Wow what a journey that was, these guys are absolutely amazing!
Check out Bleak or Master's Apprentices.
Bleak is like a rollercoaster built on the Pyramids where they give you opium-infused candy and you're allowed to murder people.
i think you're ready for "the lotus eater" \m/
I love this video!
It reminded me of the emotion I felt when i first heard this track many years ago, and that’s simply amazing, so thank you
I hear the baying of the hounds
In the distance, I hear them devouring
Pest ridden jackals of the earth
Diabolical beasts and roaming the forests
In wait and constant protectors
Calling you to sit by his side
Your self loathing image in his flesh
A revelation upon which you linger
His words are flies
Swarming towards the true insects
Feasting on buried dreams
And spreading decay upon your skin
His eyes spew forth a darkness
That cut through and paralyze
Casts light upon your secrets
Forced to confront your enemies
His mouth is a vortex
Sucking you into it's pandemonium
Fools you with a helping hand of ashes
Reached out in false dismay
His body is a country
The cities lay dead and beyond despair
Friends turned enemies unable to come clean
In a rising fog of reeking death
Everything you believed is a lie
Everyone you loved is a death burden
So you take comfort in him
And you are receptive to stark wishes
No longer struggling to declare your stand
You would inflict no harm to others
They are unaware of you
And in a loop of futile events
You are everything, they are nothing
Drown in the deep mire
With past desires
Beneath the mire
Drown desire now with you
Lined up verses on dead skin
"The tainted lips of the stranger
Resting upon hers"
And I embrace bereavement
Everything beloved is shattered anyway
I would devote myself to anyone
I would accept any flaws
I am too weak to resist
Tension vibrating with horror
Finding the outcast in my eyes
Pushing nerves on a puppet
Endless poison in my veins
Clean intent now tainted with death
And so, cold touch now inhumane
Every waking hour
Awaiting a reverie to unfold
And now they are calling me
Louder by the minute
The baying of the hounds
Calling me back to my home
You should react to their newer stuff too. Eternal rains will come is one of my favourites from them. (Not nearly as heavy but still amazing prog rock)
and right after that, Cust Of Eternity and Faith in Others!
One of my favorite track from them, period.
A gem you haven't discovered yet : The Contortionist - Language I :Intuition and Language II :Conspire ( back to back)
They're an underrated progressive rock /metal band.
Good suggestion
Yes!! those two back to back is magic. I wish the rest of their albums were as good as Language
The Contortionist is must listen for the entire world
I like you folks but I have not heard Opeth and wanted to see because Queen TaTi says she learned from these folks keep up the good work I love watching you just subbed because of that later!
Awesome reaction guys!. Opeth can do no wrong! 🤘Ya guys need to check out Heir Apparent and the Lotus Eater from their 2008 album Watershed. It's their last album with death growls before they changed to 70s prog rock style .
You simply must do The Grand Conjuration now to get all the essentials off this album. Otherwise please do Space Time by Gojira!!
Leprous - Contaminate Me (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall)
You guys will be in awe!
Watching someone react like this to Opeth deserves my instant sub. ❤️
I think you guys could check Shokran out some time. Cool egyptian vibe, heavy and high quality. You may like it.
About Opeth, I'd say Cusp of Eternity or Lotus Eater
Hessian peel
Hands down, my fav Opeth song!
It's time to unleash the beasts!
The Moor and Demon of the Fall :)
my god i love your CAifanes t-shirt!!!!! awesome!
Each Opeth album deserves a listen from start to finish, starting with Orchid. My Arms thru Blackwater need 2 listens, once for the music, once for the lyrical story.
But really, there's no wrong way to experience Opeth.
you guys should do a mega listen to their whole discography album by album at this point, I wouldn't mind hahaha
ahh im enjoying this roller coaster opeth ride with you guys \m/ - IVE seen a few requests for ' The Lotus Eater ' and so i thought id also throw in for that one as i feel it doesnt get enough love
Omg that shirt of Caifanes lml ahuevo pura música chingona en este canal
Haha! Solo música de lo mejor! Me encanta!
Opeth the leper affinity
Check still life album- the moor, serenity painted death, moonlapse vertigo. Mr. Akerfeldt will sing you guys mellow lullabies like an angel as well as growl like a demon:)
God I don't even know what song to suggest by them. Choose any song in the comments and i'll be happy Lol.
