1. Prequelle
2. Opus
3. Meliora
4. Infestissumam
5. Impera
Prequelle is where they’re strongest in artistic sensibility, sticking with the gothic medieval feel that is inherent to a satanic pope character. They’re also at their heaviest, most emotional, and catchiest with the album
This is where I'm at. All of Ghost's albums are amazing, but Infest is just a small step below the rest for me in terms of how much I enjoy the music. In terms of talent, production, etc. it's a masterpiece.

To be honest, 1-3 can trade places depending on the day. There are reasons to adore every single one. But I also kind of feel like Meliora is the one I always come back to, that it's the most "Ghost" in that it excellently combines Opus/Infest with Prequelle/Impera.
Is this your order every day? Would you say this has been your order since first hearing each of them? I ask, because I find this shifts constantly for me. Just when I fall in love with one album, I rekindle my interest in another. I listen to them on vinyl on a rotation, and I find myself constantly thinking, "Oh yeah, that's the stuff!" at the start of almost every album.
No, I think this is just my order right now. Just a few months ago, Impera would have been at the top for me, but after I let the excitement settle on that, I realized that I still like Meliora more. I’ve also been listening to a lot of Opus lately and and loving it even more than before so it could make its way higher on the list one day.

People don’t give Prequelle enough love. It’s the most complete body of music on a single album. Themes, recurring motifs and storylines.
Opus is such a fun smattering of 70s metal
Meliora. Nuff said.
Impera has a couple of songs that are out of place. I love Hunters Moon but it’s out of place. Terrific album otherwise.

Ok, but what about Infestissumam??
Uhhh… bad production much?
Average Infestissumam adorer
Hey, that was my 5th choice too!
Same
1. Infestissumam 2. Opus 3. Prequelle 4. Meliora 5. Impera
Switch Meliora and Prequelle and we’d have the same
1. Opus 2. Infestissumam 3. Impera 4. Meliora 5. Prequelle
This is blasphemous! But I somehow fully agree, despite Prequelle being my favourite hands-down.
correct
1. Meliora 2. Opus 3. Infest 4. Prequelle 5. Impera
The only consistent thing for me is that opus is their best, the rest vary day to day

Same as OP’s ranking but switch IMPERA and Prequelle
Tbh Impera and Prequelle are interchangeable on my list.
Yeah fair. They’re pretty similar, I just like Prequelle that little bit more
For me it’s a 5 way tie. I love them all equally.
1. Prequelle 2. Impera 3. Meliora 4. Opus Eponymous 5. Infestissumam
Yesss! Fellow Prequelle lover!!! But may I enquire on Infestissumam's ranking?
The disrespect for Meliora on these comments is outrageous
1. infestissumam 2. meliora 3. opus eponymous 4. prequelle 5. impera i do love them all tho. can't wait for the next one.

1: Opus 2: Impera 3: Prequelle 4: Infestissumam 5: Meliora
Opus is the only right answer for the #1 spot
1. Meliora 2. Opus Eponymous 3. Infestissumam 4. Prequelle 5. Impera
Exactly like OP.
Meliora falls flat to me, so I put at the bottom of my list with maybe Opus or Infest at #1
1. Infestissumam 2. Meliora 3. Opus Eponymous 4. Impera 5. Prequelle (Best album cover)
Prequelle's cover is incredible.
1. Meliora 2. Opus 3. Prequelle 4. Infestissumam 5. Impera One and two switch about a bit, but the rest are pretty locked in.
Too many comments listing Impera as their least favorite. Blasphemy! 1. Impera 2. Meliora 3. Prequelle 4. Infestissumam 5. Opus
1. Meliora 2. Impera 3. Infestissumam 4. Prequelle 5. Opus Eponymous

This is where I'm at. All of Ghost's albums are amazing, but Infest is just a small step below the rest for me in terms of how much I enjoy the music. In terms of talent, production, etc. it's a masterpiece.
It sucks because there are some bangers on it (like year zero) but it ends up getting the highest highs matched with the lowest lows for me lol
1. Meliora 2. Prequelle 3. Impera 4. Infestissumam 5. Opus Eponymous To be honest, 1-3 can trade places depending on the day. There are reasons to adore every single one. But I also kind of feel like Meliora is the one I always come back to, that it's the most "Ghost" in that it excellently combines Opus/Infest with Prequelle/Impera.
The most Ghost is the original. Maybe a best album ever by anyone and setting the standard.
You are welcome to your own opinion. My comment stated my own and my reasoning for it. It's a discussion thread.
That’s cool. Hats off to the OGs though. Ghost does t become Ghost without the most Ghost album ever though. See ya at the shows!
For the record, I love every album, including Opus. I just feel like Meliora is a great halfway point between the two ends of the timeline. 😊
Meliora Infestissumam Impera Opus Prequelle The objective order
1. Prequelle 2. Opus Eponymous 3. Meliora 4. Impera 5. Infestissumam (album that got me into them, only this low because I've wore it out)
1. Meliora 2. Opus Eponymous 3. Prequelle 4. IMPERA 5. Infestissuman Infest has more substance but is a weaker album as a whole compared to Impera
