MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | .. i care |
Observer
09.24.09 | How haven't even gave 1 a listen.
Even so, not much tops 2 |
Mordecai.
09.24.09 | Still Life > both.
Hard to pick, BP cause im a raging homo for Akerfelt |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | i havent heard still life yet =/
maybe i need to give blackwater park a few more listens but colors is perfect i think |
Lunarfall
09.24.09 | i got a great idea lets compare a borderline metalcore band with opeth |
ziroth
09.24.09 | it might if the vocals weren't so bad. |
Tulannical
09.24.09 | rabble rabble rabble |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | colors isnt metalcore at all |
Stones99
09.24.09 | screw comparing them, i love em both |
Zoo
09.24.09 | they're too dissimilar, there's no point. |
EverythingEvil2113
09.24.09 | not even close dude |
XulOnerom
09.24.09 | No matter what I do, I can't get into BTBAM |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | i knew everyone would disagree with me .. but i wanted them to tell me why |
theacademy
09.24.09 | yes agree |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | colors - 2
blackwater park - 5
:[ |
Fxxkit13
09.24.09 | Bp ftw |
GBJ
09.24.09 | What's with people always comparing these two albums exclusively? |
EverythingEvil2113
09.24.09 | i do like colors just nowhere near as much as bp.
reasons:
-vocals
-melody
-beauty
-vocals again
-not just sensless wankery, opeth songs are long but they feel like songs not just a thousand riffs and ideas smashed together
-vocals yet again
like i said i actually enjoy btbam but imo they don't come close to touching opeth. also they're different genres of music so it's kind of hard comparing. |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | i thought they were both progressive death metal? |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | and i definetly agree with this :
"not just sensless wankery, opeth songs are long but they feel like songs not just a thousand riffs and ideas smashed together" |
willfellmarsy
09.24.09 | 1 is a million times better, BP is a shitty still life... |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | willfellmarsy your cool
|
Waior
09.24.09 | i like colors better |
Chewie
09.24.09 | WHAT A FUNNY JOKE, PLEASE TELL ANOTHER. |
brainsheldis
09.24.09 | I like Colors better. |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | i love all of you. |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | id take taht as a vote for colors.
and yea i agree with the respect for opeth thing |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | 6 - 8
|
TRMshadow
09.24.09 | I have Always Loved Both Bands, but I have heard more of BTBAM (I own all their albums).
I haven't listened to BP in its entirety but I'm sure it is amazing. They are both amazing albums but I'm gonna have to say colors, but BP is REALLY close.....like BP 4.6/5 Colors 4.8/5 |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | mynameischan is a douche cus i found at leaset 15 people who cared
...7-8 |
Lunarfall
09.24.09 | were all super glad that you found the 7 users on this site who like colors more than bwp |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | i know i feel accomplished.. |
Aids
09.24.09 | Remove two of those " > " from the title of this list and you have a valid statement. In other words, I think Colors is better, slightly. |
syco722
09.24.09 | I think it's only because I've listened to 2 about 3 times and 1 about 35 if we're being literal.
Blackwater Park has Bleak and Funeral Portrait and Blackwater Park....
But Colors has Ants of the Sky, White Walls, Sun of Nothing, and Prequel to the Sequel.
So Im gunna have to go with colors on this one. Both bands are among my favorite bands of all time though. |
MrHotMoms
09.24.09 | colors wins
thread closed
:p |
Prophet178
09.24.09 | Colors is technically better (as in the playing), but it lacks the soul of BWP. Colors is always a chore for me to listen to, and I don't usually enjoy it. I'll be like, hey thats incredibly impressive but I'd rather be listening to something else. Whereas BWP I can listen to anytime. |
nychicano
09.24.09 | Colors should be sucking on Blackwater Parks ballsack |
Jesuslaves
09.24.09 | Both albums suck on my ballsack. |
qwe3
09.24.09 | hahahahaha what the fuck is this
hey guys, MPP is better than The Incident
discuss |
InHumanForm
09.24.09 | Lots of albums > both of these. How about that? |
Prophet178
09.24.09 | I think its generally accepted that MPP is better than The Incident, so that would be no fun. |
qwe3
09.24.09 | point was you cant compare them but yeah
anyways i would choose BWP because it just pwns colors |
Chewie
09.24.09 | neither is this |
NOTINTHEFACE
09.24.09 | This is why BWP owns Colors:
The capacity of human intelligence seems to limit the capabilities to expand upon any possible creative aptitudes. Indeed, if one cannot even notice the facets that the ingenuities around him are comprised of, how can he be expected to fashion a beast of his own? This inveterate sense of constraint is a great blow to the veracity of mankind’s abilities. It restrains us and holds our minds to the ground below, averting any possibility of rising above ourselves to something greater; something not fathomed by the conventional mind. This concept of seeking to go beyond one’s self, known as “transcendence”, is essentially a gateway to unlocking pieces of ourselves that can lead to some of the most elaborate and significant creations of our world. For many, this quest to transcend and form creations that were once considered unthinkable and overwhelming consumes life. Certainly it is rare to find such people, but when they are found, creative barriers are destroyed. |

09.24.09 | original |
liledman
09.24.09 | I think colors is better. I like both, but colors wins for me, quite easily. |
qwe3
09.24.09 | bwp>anything btbam has ever done, and its not even opeths best album |
KILL
09.24.09 | opeth ftw |
Tulannical
09.24.09 | bwp |
Pi3ce0fmind
09.24.09 | You should really be comparing Alaska and Still Life IMO. |
qwe3
09.24.09 | still life is infinitely better than alaska. there's no need to compare them |
Fxxkit13
09.24.09 | Bwp ftw |
bastard
09.24.09 | I disagree completely. |
GenNarain
09.24.09 | LOL, BP>>>>any btbam now, or in the future |
Fxxkit13
09.24.09 | Opeth>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>btbam |
Aids
09.24.09 | Someone, I forget who, was complaining about this site being full of Brand New fanboys. No, this site is full of Opeth fanboys. They're quite awesome but surely "Opeth>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>btbam" is a bit of an overstatement. |
stargazer76
09.24.09 | No chance. BWP is far better. |
Inveigh
09.24.09 | I like big words too (@NOTINTHEFACE). However, you did nothing to relate what you said to either album. I'm assuming you were referring to the breadth of creativity and transcendence contained within Blackwater Park, but... you never said that. No offense, but it sounded like philosophical speak for the sake of philosophy to me.
That being said, I agree with Mordecai, Still Life is better than either of them. Even so, Blackwater Park is still better than Colors in my opinion. Maybe it's just because I like Opeth so much more than BTBAM.
|
Fugue
09.24.09 | Personally I don't think Colors is as good as Alaska, let alone Blackwater Park. Just my thoughts. |
Phantom
09.24.09 | lol, colors.
|
Fxxkit13
09.24.09 | Opeth ftw again and again and again |
Fugue
09.24.09 | @ Inveigh: NOTINTHEFACE's post wasn't serious; it's pretty much a sputnik meme. Look up Shadow's Blackwater Park review for more information. |
TheHamburgerman
10.02.09 | Opeth wins by a landslide. They actually write songs, which seems to be somewhat important if you want to listen to songs. |
Fapper
10.02.09 | Saying that BtBaM doesn't write songs isn't very... well thought out. |
cvlts
10.02.09 | Being a young(er) band, BTBAM>Opeth |
zuzek
10.02.09 | I simply can't see how Colors would kick BWP's ass in anything. BWP is superior in songwriting, atmosphere, instruments, vocals and so on. Colors isn't bad but it's overrated, just like Still Life. Just records showcasing bands with a lot of promise but also a lot of refining left to do. |
qwe3
10.02.09 | jesus why is this list still here.
Opeth is so much better than Btbam that it's not even fair to compare colors to Orchid.
|
NOTINTHEFACE
10.02.09 | @Inveigh
Lolz noobz. |
Crysis
10.02.09 | tbh I bet you even the members of BTBaM would agree Opeth mops the floor with their shitty live albums. |
Crysis
10.02.09 | Woops didn't mean live albums haha although I am seeing these guys tomorrow with In Flames. Their older shit is better anyway. |
TheyTookOurJobs
10.16.09 | i still havent got colors coz im laxy and broke, but not much could top bp anywayz.... |
MrHotMoms
10.18.09 | definetly give it a listen bro |
ninjuice
10.18.09 | Both are overrated but Opeth have a competent vocalist. |
Ragez
10.18.09 | BTBAM idk
Opeth are good tho. |
VRtrooper
10.08.10 | this list has so much funny |
Foxhound
10.08.10 | 1st comment for the list remains the most correct. |
multipleofone
10.08.10 | Definitely.
While I like Opeth, the problem with their music is that it lacks memorable riffs. Especially on this album |
wyankeif1337
10.08.10 | o no u didnt |
climactic
10.08.10 | used to be absolutely in love with Colors but BWP is probably the better album |
austin888
11.03.10 | Colors |
ShadowRemains
11.03.10 | fuck no |
AngelofDeath
11.03.10 | "While I like Opeth, the problem with their music is that it lacks memorable riffs. Especially on this album"
Just no. |
whywontyoudie
11.03.10 | i don't even listen to Opeth (sorry, can't get into them guiz). but this comparison needs to fucking stop. these bands are not similar. roughly the same genre doesn't mean they play the same style, so no comparison is needed. ever. end of story. |
Groink
11.03.10 | I like both albums, but I enjoy Colors more. |
SCREAM!
11.03.10 | what whywontyoudie said plus opeth are in a complete other league over btbam |
whywontyoudie
11.03.10 | whoa i didn't even notice Chan's input on this. thread should have ended there. |
theacademy
11.03.10 | i enjoy BWP more but colors is obviously a way better album so colors |
qwe3
11.03.10 | i dont even know what that means |
whywontyoudie
11.03.10 | academy, i am confused by your tactics. |
AnotherBrick
11.03.10 | wow. i read the second comment thinking it was a new list. now i'm sad |

11.03.10 | lol
also rip prophet |

02.09.13 | in late 2011 or was it 2012 the popular thing to complain about was you
i'm not sure you're in position to be criticizing it |
ViralOblivion
02.09.13 | And then skeletor became a psycho and became the topic |
Insurrection
02.09.13 | You can thank potsy for that. And the fact that you think sonic was the bane of the site and that Dev is Sputnik's savior puts you comfortably in that cesspool |

Insurrection
02.09.13 | Dude relax, it's just a website. Nice edit btw |
GringoSuave89
02.09.13 | what a stupid comparison. Just cause they're both "progressive metal" doesn't mean they have anything to do with one another. I can't see BTBAM and Opeth on the same tour or compilation. |
