How in the **** do you sign up for that site?

I loaded it up on yousendit.I don't know if I should post it considering how many people are trying not to hear it until the 30th.That would be like waving heroin infront of a person who's trying to stay clean.

Give me your E-mail adress if you want it.

So many people talking about the new album...the suspense is maddening..I'm trying to wait until the 30th as well. What's it like? Everyone's saying it's good, but Opeth's consistently been putting out good music..saying it's good tells me nothing. I heard that Opeth was supposed to go back to black metal with this album, is that what happened, or did they take it in another direction?

How are you guys getting these songs?

2. How does a .rar file work? Can I separate it into 8 mp3s?

We're stealing them you dummy.

They are over torrents and I found a couple on Lime Wire.



**Semi spoiler from the four songs I've heard**





I think it's a mix of BWP and Deliverance? Substitute keys for the ebow. Maybe? I haven't hear it all yet so... ???

I can't really describe it.It's very different, that's all I can really say.It's not black metal, but there are moments that would be considered BM I guess.

Every song on here is written so precisely(sp?).It is very evident from the beginning that they really took their time rehearsing and writing the songs to the perfect point.There are 3 songs that are all soft.They are all very different from any other soft track in previous albums.Somewhat strange.Hours of Wealth IMO is possibly the saddest Opeth song out of all.Mikeal delivers such an awesome vocal performance on it.Which can be said for the rest of the album.I think vocally, this cd is the best.Mike shines so bright.Everyone does.There is ambience all over the cd thanks to the new keyboards.They keyboards add so much to the music.So much beauty.

So far, Baying of the Hounds is my favorite song.It nearly moved me to tears.It's so perfect.The solo that comes in at about 7 mins is godly.

You have to extract .rar files. I'm guessing you don't have a program that will let you do that, you can try the one on this this site.

.rar file is like a zip file type of thing.Just install this program and it will extract the files.

Please....please, let this be a rumor.

I know Gene has been filling in for Martin for about a week or two, but this is insane.

I seriously hope it isnt true.

Did you click on the "full story"?

It was just a link to someone posting on a message board. I wouldn't take it too seriously until some plausible source gives some information.

[B]Hours of Wealth[/B]
Found a way
To rid myself clean of pain
And the fever thats been haunting me
Has gone away

Looking through my window, I seem to recognise
All the people passing by
But I'm alone, and far from home
and nobody knows me

Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again

All days are in darkness and I'm biding my time
Once I am sure on my task I will rise
Again

Still not a good sign, in light of all of Martin's absence and everything. :(

Aah.. I hope it isn't tru, I loved martin's work on the drums

Well I dled it and I've gotten to Beneath Mire which is my favourite so far. I am very
impressed.

Also I was wondering about why that guy was filling in last night. That's the SYL drummer right? I remember looking and thinking whoaa he got so fat but then I remembered that SYL had a fat drummer and then realized that that was him. And later, when Mikael introduced him I couldn't hear what said about him (actually I couldn't hear most of the things he said during the show) so I don't know if he's a replacement or not. Regardless, he is an excellent drummer and pulled off everything perfectly.

Gene Hoglan is probably the best metal drummer on the planet. He's been in a score of groups over the years, most noteworthy being the band Death, where he performed on the Individual Thought Patterns and Symbolic albums.

Of course, he's not Martin Lopez, and even though Hoglan is probably more technically skilled, I like how Lopez's particular style fits in with Opeth and would be very upset to see him leave.

He did the drums on my favorite Death album? Wow...so he did. I'm glad I got to meet him last week at the SOTU stop in AZ. Shame that SYL won't be coming back here for awhile.

On the new Opeth album...holy ****. This thing is awesome. The guitar part on Baying of the Hounds at 3:23-3:30 is evil. Between this and the new Nevermore, I'm going to be wearing my headphones for a month at least.

I want Lopez back!!! I don't care if he's junked up. I like his style.

HOLY ****, the new album ****ing rules!

Could you YSI it for me? my AIM SN is mappy112388

Well, I have just listen to Ghost of Perdition for the first time. I am impressed! The music Opeth creates will never let me down... But I can't ignore the vocal section around 5:55. It's VERY new for opeth... It sounds very new age, definatley something to get used to.. But the music and the rest of the song hands down is brilliant as always.
At first, the Grand Conjuration wasn't mind blowing for me... But now, I can't live without listening to it. It really is incredible. I can't wait to hear the rest! Atonement has gotten some good vibes from you guys, as has Baying of the Hounds... Of the songs that you all that have downloaded, is there alot of new vocal stylings to get used to compared to the norm? Just curious. I just can't wait to hear more. I'll be around. Later guys-
