I've been trying to listen to this album lately, and am not really sure what I think of it. It's fairly inaccessible, even though I like what I know of Opeth's other material (e.g. Ghost Reveries and Blackwater Park). I feel this record has a particular inaccessibility to it.

Anybody really dig this record? Whether or not you do, I'm still interested to hear how you tend to rate it alongside other Opeth material.
 
It's a good album - very nice and raw.

But it's not as good as their later albums because there is a bit of directionless meandering in Orchid at times. Not having Martin Lopez makes a big difference as well. Akerfeldt wasn't quite as vocally developed either.
 
Personally I love all their albums almost all the same......This and Deliverance are the the only ones I would put below the others only because Orchid, as said earlier, did not have Lopez. Deliverance is low because I just thought it is weak.
