I don't think Sorceress sounds anything like Damnation though, but neither does PC or Heritage. I did always find it kind of weird that they never revisited the Damnation sound since it was such a perfect fit for them, especially once they gave up on metal.

Haha! That's a lot of hate for such a harmless, insignificant track. I'd say they've done worse.

Then you haven't read the lyrics. Anything on Orchid has better poetry than that.



Coil and Burden are also average songs.



Btw have you heard the bonus tracks on this?

Sorceress is probably their worst song, very bland.

@Egarran: Certainly true, they're quite cringe-worthy. I'm not that big of a lyrics man anyway though, so they don't bother me that much.

Edit: HEY! I don't agree with your edit, Burden and Coil are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



@Pleb: Certainly true, too.

"Coil and Burden are also average songs"

Sorceress t/t is a much better shout than Poreclain Heart for worst Opeth song.

Yeah totally, Burden is amazing and Coil is super nice too.

Sorceress contains most of their worst tracks... :-(

I always liked Porcelain Heart...



but the Sorceress t/t is definitely the worst Opeth song ever.

Yup, Sorc-t/t is one of their worst.

I can't stand the lady in the Persephones either, but those are more like intro/outro anyway, so they don't count.

I don't mind the female voice, I just think Mikael could have done more with them. They're kind of wasted and that's a little sad. It's feels rushed

sorceress is fine but their last three records take a pretty disproportionate amount of flak because they created such a sound and such a legacy for themselves

it truly gets me pondering

We'll, it's not so much their last three! Both Kalk here and I really enjoy Heritage for instance. That record's crazy good imo. But with PC a little and with Sorceress especially they just stripped all the sense of joy/adventure/doing something because they seem to like it/sincerity from the music.

yea I don't get that sense at all

not really surprised that people aren't super stoked on those records but I think the band is definitely doing what they enjoy

I hope you're right! I don't really hear that myself though. They don't sound like they're enjoying making music anymore, which worries me a little.

I know they have it in them to do something really cool with their more modern style (like Heritage), so who knows?
