Ignore this post, I am just subscribing to the thread.

Hey guys...I'm just asking your take... On all the Opeth tour dates, they are touring overseas during the fall...I thought they were suppost to be coming here? :(

I got Ghost Reveries a few days ago, and it's good stuff. Maybe even better than Blackwater Park. I can also safely say that Morningrise is my favorite album of theirs.

They'll be here eventually, I hope. The official tour dates tend to be way behind the promoters' dates though, so be sure to check ticketmaster and such.

I prefer [I]Blackwater Park[/I] but [I]Ghost Reveries[/I] comes in right after that. It ties with [I]Still Life[/I] for me.

Ghost Reveries is my favourite Opeth ever. On most of their albums there a one or two songs which are good, but not great. On, GR though, they are all amazing IMO.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]I am making a list of all of Opeth's soft songs. Here is what I have so far:

01 - Face Of Melinda
02 - Harvest
03 - Benighted
04 - For Absent Friends
05 - Hope Leaves
06 - In My Time of Need
07 - To Bid You Farewell
08 - Windowpane
09 - A Fair Judgement
10 - Closure
11 - Credence
12 - Death Whispered A Lullaby
13 - To Rid The Disease
14 - Ending Credits
15 - Weakness
16 - Requiem
17 - Patterns in the Ivy
18 - Patterns in the Ivy II
19 - Atonement
20 - Hours of Wealth
21 - Isolation Years
22 - Madrigal
23 - Silhouette
24 - Still Day Beneath the Sun

Are there any others that I am leaving out?[/QUOTE]

Oh yay thank you for making that list! I'm getting into opeth and I think they're really awesome, but I'm not a huge fan of the harsh vocals, so this is just what I needed!

If you're not a fan of harsh vocals, and you're getting into opeth, get Blackwater Park or Still Life, those CD's are their most balanced between harsh and clean vocals, and thus are good for helping you get into them, because there are parts where out of nowhere he stops growling and sings.... I didn't like harsh vox at first, but then I got Still Life, and now I love harsh vox.

Mikeals harsh vox pwns.

So far ive heard Reverie/Harlequin forest, ghost of perdition, isolation years and The Grand Conjuration. So far, I'm undecided. From what i've heard, talk is it's Opeths 'most experimental album' to date etc. I understand Opeth need to evolve to stay alive but that doesnt mean take away intensity and passion. I haven't felt any of the these emotions with this new album (isolation years is really close).
For me the keyboards can both work and fail.
Opeth are at their devilishly best when they use guitars to create atmosphere.
It will grow on me but it's not a MAYH just yet.

Give those songs some more to grow on you. I thought the album was a bit of a let down to begin with, but now im in love with it.

You're crazy. Almost all of their albums are great all the way through. I can safely say I have enjoyed every track of every album Opeth has released.

I have to say that, some tracks are better then others. Though none suck and or are bad in general.

I have resisted my will to download :cool:
mwuahah

I will buy it the day it is released

I wholeheartedly agree with both of these statements.

Just wondering if anyone's going to the Leeds gig in November? I'm going, despite only being 16 at that time and it's an over 18s gig. I'm hoping to find someone in the que (hopefully with facial hair) that looks around my age and go in with them. Actually it could be an mxer, there's a drink in it for the person who does it.

You are a stronger man than I :lol:

I will buy it the day it is released as well, but I downloaded it too.

Same for myself.

Yeah, I don't really feel bad about it anymore and the wait was killing me.

I didnt say that i think these songs which i dont think are great suck, just that theres some i don't think are amazing. But thats just my opinion.

Now I don't feel so bad about missing it.

I'm 16 see.

Meh, well our opinions are very different. I think every song is amazing, I haven't heard anything that I even slightly disliked. I've heard everything other than the demo, whose tracks ended up on [I]Orchid[/I] anyway.

I'm just getting into Opeth, I've heard bleak and blackwater park and i love them, could someone reccomend me some other songs to download please :thumb:

weird that you have a minimum age for gigs, we don't have that here.
but I wouldn't really care, cause I'm 19

[QUOTE=JamJar]I'm just getting into Opeth, I've heard bleak and blackwater park and i love them, could someone reccomend me some other songs to download please :thumb:[/QUOTE]
A Fair Judgement

For a start.

As have I. :chug:

A toast to integrity, which the two of us alone possess. :cool:

I tried to download it but could not find it, oh well.

I was gonna wait and buy it when released, but then I realized that I didn't have any money. So then I pirated it, and enjoyed the fruits of my labor.

Hey, I'm waiting to get Ghost Reveries too :p
But then again, there aren't many bands I'm willing to wait to get the album before I hear the new songs. Opeth's one of them :)

[SIZE=3]Does anyone want to put together some Opeth covers? Preferably "Windowpane" and "To Bid You Farewell". I'm a bassist and I might be able to vocals.[/SIZE]

Hey! I'm the bassist here!

If you don't like it, you can just getout.

I hope you got the South Park reference there.

Personally I'm glad I'm not like that. The main riff on The Grand Conjuration blows you the hell AWAY. The album is good stuff.

*pokes head in conversation*
I didn't download it.

Plus, I want a free drink.

The new Opeth album is definately OPETH, OMFG I just can't believe how much they are good and.... THey soothe me, hell, and anyone who has the least knowledge of what good music is knows Opeth are the best...

Actually, there are 21+ gigs here as well, so you wouldn't necessarily be completely off the hook. ;)

Yeah, it's lame.

My new favourite song off GR is Beneath The Mire. Gotta love that intro.

Yeah, that is a sweet intro. But I like "Ghost of Perdition" better. That's just me.

I'd have to wait to wait until next year to be able to go to those gigs. I'm glad the highest Canada goes is 19+ :D

Has anyone heard anything about a tour for GR?
