I have listened to the whole album, and I have to say I am a bit let down.


again, Orchid > all Opeth albums.

Does anybody know where to find some Official Opeth Guitar Books? I'm looking for SL, MAYH, and BWP.

Eww..I dislike Orchid greatly. It's the only Opeth album I actually don't like. To be honest, if you disregard Deliverance, Opeth seem to be getting better and better. Though, BWP is the exception. I still think that's their best.

I don't get how Deliverance is so unliked by so many. I think its an awesome record, not a bad track. A little rough around the production area, and some of the guitars sounded pretty hollow but the songs are all epicily awesome IMO.

I like Deliverance as well, but the reason I think I don't like it as much as their others is because when I bought it, I was let down by it because none of the songs, in my opinion, lived up to the title track, which I was completely blown away by. The other songs were good, but I wasn't blown away.

I didn't think Opeth had any official books. If they do, I want them ASAP.

My favorite song on that album is 'By the Pain I See In Others' :p

Blaaaaaaaarrrgggeee! How can you dislike Orchid? Such a good album.

I'm not a huge fan of it either. IMO, there are some cool riffs and ideas, but the songs lack direction, are often structured poorly, and the production blew.

There's the perfect answer why I don't like it.

Well, I love it, along with the rest of there earlier stuff. I guess I'm a sucker for dual harmonies. :D

Yeah, they don't seem to be able to top or even equal Blackwater Park.

after a few listens I am a bit let down too, it not bad music, but it doesn't live up to Opeth standards.

my favorite remains: Morningrise

I guess I just liked them when they played their more melodic stuff. All of their albums are good though.

The new album does have a lot less atmosphere to it. It is still my second favorite, but that may be due to it being a new album that hasn't sunk all the way in yet.

Are you guys also checking for a new name?

Serenity Painted Thead.

They do. On several tabs I've seen them say that it came from the offical book, but I have no luck finding them.

I've actually gave a bunch of listens to the new album, I actually quite like a lot. To me it's easily above MAYH and ****ation on my most "mood for" list of Opeth's albums since I like all the albums equal.

I just saw the Grand Conjuration video on Headbanger's Ball. I'm pretty sure it was shortened, but I did catch it in progress. Didn't make much sense, but it didn't really matter, because it looked kicka[size=2]s[/size]s. They all had heavy metal hair.

The song time for the video is less then half the normal song time... bit disappointing, but oh well.

I caught it in the middle, so I couldn't tell. Since it was Mtv, I assumed it was shortened significantly. Reminds me of when I saw the video for Dream Theater's Pull Me Under on there. It was like 4 minutes long instead of 8.

where did opeth's name come from, isnt it a type of mineral water generally found in the catskills mountain area?

No... the original name was Opet, which meens the city of the moon, they just added the H I guess.

Any reason for that H to be added? Just seems arbitrary to me.

I donno... sounds better? + to originality?

I suppose. Kudos to them for adding an arbitrary H. Opeth sounds better than Opet, seems.

It may just be translated differently or something, idk.

That's my guess.

I heard opeth means hash brownie in dutch. Is this true?

I don't see a reason for it to be, seeing as they're Swedish. So I doubt it.

Maybe it means hash brownie in sweedish... thought of that yet?

... shut the hell up. You pissed me off int he Tool thread already, so stop trying to screw piss me off in this one to.

You're not special enough to piss off, im having positive input here, so just turn off the attitude

thanx

[QUOTE=adioviva]Maybe it means hash brownie in sweedish... thought of that yet?[/QUOTE]
This is positive input? We [I]know[/I] for a fact that the band got their name from Opet which meens city of the moon, and just added the h. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't name the band after hash brownie in their native language.

Ok fine, but lets try and be a little nicer, so I don't need to throw around negreps

Your right, I was a little harsh. Lets try to have some more common sense and maturity on your part though.

Oh and... rep meens little to nothing to me... :p

He can't neg-rep.

That to.

im really not even sure what neg rep means, i just figured id toss it out there you know, sort of as a like "dont mess with me" deal. i dont care about it either and personally, i thought it meant neck rape the first time i saw it...

but lets get one thing straight, i have no reservations about neck raping

Shut up.

Which is why you have sean connery as your avatar...?

I would think it is [I]you[/I] who should "shut up".... :chug:
