the vocals on watershed are amazing though

What pissed me off about GR was how simple it was compared to everything else they've done, and how useless the keys were in comparison to Watershed.
It has a few good tracks like Isolations Years, Hours Of Wealth and Baying Of the Hounds, but overall I was never as attracted to it as I was with the other albums.
It's still a good album in comparison to stuff other bands release, but it's not anything special either.

I actually thought GR was pretty good too. It was simple but evocative, and it had some awesome moments. Opeth are 9 for 9 as far as I'm concerned. The only output that's ever underwhelmed me was the live stuff- kinda lame setlist on Lamentations, and some of the banter on the Roundhouse Tapes was stupid. Other than that,

1. Still Life
2a. MAYH
2b. Watershed <---not kidding
3. Morningrise
4. BWP
5. Deliverance
6. GR
7. Damnation
8. Orchid


Fact.

Also, I posted this on the Opeth forum about GR:

The problem I have with the album is it's very unbalanced. One you get past the first three tracks, it just seems to drag ass and doesn't give me that sense of closure like most the other albums do. The soft songs are pretty decent tracks and all, but nothing extremely memorable, and definitely not something that I get a craving to listen to more than once or twice a year. Reverie/Harlequin Forest is one of their most overrated songs. The way Mike used his clean vocals over heavier parts is better displayed on their new songs (from what we've all heard at least). And let's not get into the atrocity that is The Grand Conjuration; easily Opeth's worst song.

Those are the biggest drawbacks to the album, and what really knocks it down in the rankings.

I hope every Opeth fan can agree that TGC is their worst song.
My list is pretty close to yours except Orchid #8 and Morningrise #7.
