[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I think they have better solos myself, some off Morningrise are incredible.[/QUOTE]

Really? I thought Morningrise had pretty bad solos. I think Still Life had some of the best.

On the other hand, I'm a rare Opeth fan that, while enjoying Morningrise, nevertheless takes a rather dim view of its actual compositional cohesiveness. :p

[QUOTE=PimpDaddyKabZ]I love Dirge...jesus.

Its fun as hell to play, and its a very unique song from Opeth.
It doesn't sound like a lot of the Dam[b][i][/b][/i]nation material or other acoustic parts they have done.

I don't know.....it just strikes a chord with me (pun fully intended)[/QUOTE]

So far, it's also my fave. I agree about it being fun to play. Although a bit tricky for me at the moment, I'm sure I'll get it down smoothly. The chord chagnes in the intro just flow so perfectly.

My favourite Opeth solo is in 'The Twilight Is My Robe'. It isn't hard, but it such a friggen amazingly good sounding solo

That's my favorite solo also, White Cluster's solo is pretty cool off Still Life.

Does somebody know details about new album that is going to be out in september or so?

I don't know if this was mentioned somewhere in this thread earlier, but has everyone heard the new song called "The Grand Conjuration"? Its apparently from Ghost Reveries. I can find the link again if anyone wants it.

Oh, i want..!

Opeth is one of my favorite bands.. Favorite track is probably Master's Apprentices.

It's supposed to be out during August-September. That general time period. That's what their site says.

Man I'm trying to hear this song. None of these links are working for me.

I love the second solo in Wreath... thats awesome.

No, I'm with you. The melodies are incredible, and the band had alot of really great ideas, but alot of the songs felt like they didn't have very much focus or direction. Advent rules, though.

Are you guys doing any cover songs? I know I heard you guys had some songs in the works, but are there any finished products as of yet? I'd love to hear em. :D

Best part of the whole song IMO.

My fav. opeth solo is the second solo from Black rose Immortal.

Forest of October is a pretty sick solo too.....

Its sounds so evil, I love it

Just listened to that like an hour ago... probably my fav song off Orchid.

It's kind of sunk into obscurity, so I'm in a screw it attitude right now.

Wow so I noticed that if I actually follow along with the story in MAYH it makes the album much better... anyone ever tried to follow the stories in MAYH or Still Life?

Are they concept albums based on books or what? If so, what books?

I doubt it, neither story is really all that complex.I guess Mike probably did it to help him write.

MAYH-Man dies, becomes a ghost and is forced to witness his loved one slowly forget about him and move on.

Still Life-Exiled man returns after 15 years for his love, Melinda.As we all know, there is no happy ending in this one either.

:-/ Sounds sad. Concept albums own though. Are the 2 albums intertwined with each other, or are they seperate? They sound similair..

They are seperate.. and the music really makes each story different to me. MAYH is somewhat darker to me. Yeah they are pretty simple but it shows that Mikael is good with leading a story throughout the album.

definatly, i listened to MAYH all the way through yesterday (as its my favoutire album) and i just love it, I thought that still life's lyrics felt kinda cheesy and didn't fit as well. (even though it is amazing and fits great). But with MAYH, everything fits, i love it:)

So then if I had BWP, which album should I purchase next?

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]So then if I had BWP, which album should I purchase next?[/QUOTE]

Definatly MAYH :thumb:

Well you won't go wrong with either MAYH or Still Life..

I was reading through from page 100 to now. I wish that those people were still going to do that cover of those three songs :sighs:

Which ever you can find, those two have proven difficult to locate for me.

wtf..I think that the Tool guys are the only thread actaully doing covers. Well, and Rage Against the Machine, which I am also involved in. :p

Yeah, if I can't find them, I'll just download them.
