play their genre huh? i dont wanna sound mean but thats like just copying them. They barely have a specific genre

[QUOTE=Flynn]Really? What song(s)?[/QUOTE]

Sweet Home Alabama. Just the intro though. Mike said they grew up listening to music like that.

Yeah but a lot of bands copy, some even play other bands songs, say they are their own, and become famous (Metallica). It's all about influences. If he likes Opeth's style - I encourage him to play it. We need more music like that - then hopefully rap will die. ;)

Did they play anything from Morningrise?

Anyone know what gear they use on the new album?

[QUOTE=Knifeboy]I agree in The Grand Conjuration being great. But those of you who don't like it won't be dissapointed[/QUOTE]



I've listened to it about 20 times now - I absolutely love it!
I didn't at first though, like most of Opeth's music, it took time to grow on me.

[B]Reverie/Harlequin Forest[/B] is my favorite song on the album, but [B]Hours Of Wealth[/B] is inspiring also. I couldn't ask for anything more out of a band.

Rap will die down and another meaningless genre of music will take over. Synthesizers and Emo anyone?

Also For the album ghost reveries, The guitar work Is definitely new to them, Mikaels Singing Is also way better.

A very [B]powerful[/B] Album. I need the lyrics!

[QUOTE=Dannyboy15]I saw that same show but it was in Anaheim CA. Devildriver were very good. I hated moonspell, and Opeth were amazing. They played some Lynyrd Skynyrd.[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, DevilDriver is the real $hit... They are actual real metal, not this lame bull$hit that's supposed to be around now... Glad to see someone else around here who apprciates them... I've said it before, but Opeth and them are good friends! Mendez even used their bassist's cabinet when I saw them!

That's really cool coming from a guy who I know loves Opeth... Flynn, you've totally set my expectations high for when I go get it the 30th... Will I be let down?

What's different about the singing with this album?

If someone sent me the new album, I would let them leech off of me (music wise) forever.

Yes, that was a hint.

It's just......better :P I don't know how, but Mikael's just gotten better. His clean vocals just show so much variation, and are just all round more haunting/beautiful at times. And the growls are absolutely amazing.

And magicaltroll834, I'll send you the album if you like, just try and catch me sometime on AIM/MSN

yes i saw opeth last week it was sweet, even for 4 songs, it was worth it though, i saw them at sounds of the underground, strapping was cool too.

It's been uploaded several times in the other Opeth thread.

I've been trying to get the new album off Soulseek for awhile now and have been in queue. I woke this morning with the entire new album downloaded.

I just woke up 30 minutes ago and so far this is one of my favorite Opeth albums for sure, it may even become my favorite. I love how it has more clean vocals and his singing is so much better. Something sounds different about the music in general, although I can't put my finger on it yet. I am only on "Beneath The Mire" so far.

I can't wait 'til the 30th.

\m/

yep, 30th is gonna be a happy day for me. i got the promo also but havent listened to it yet. im gonna wait till 30th and buy the cd and listen to it throughout

i was tempted to but the opeth dvd a couple days ago. any body have this? is it worth the 15$?

I think so. It kinda sucks that they weren't able to play anything pre BWP (copyright issues), but it's definetly a sweet performance. Lopez freaking sizzles.

Im going to re-watch it again to try and see where the obvious 'gaps ' are. It seems to flow well, but knowing there were supposed to be more songs, means I can be Mr Observant

I suppose I could've seen a few more mostly heavy tracks ala Ghost of Perdition/Baying of the Hounds. The album gets pretty soft for a while in the middle there.

Really? More songs?

I really want to see that DVD, but I'm waiting until my friend can pick up a really cheap copy of it in HK and give it to me. Another few moths, yet.

I got it with Deliverance. Amazon did its usual 'buy with this item' tempt job.

That dvd is sooooooo worth it. Probably the best live dvd I own.


I'm listening to Wreath right now, that song is fu[I]c[/I]king madness, I love every second of it... specially the part with the toms, then it kicks into that second solo... awesomeness.

There's no gaps, the only thing is that they cut off the encore

[QUOTE=Knifeboy]There's no gaps, the only thing is that they cut off the encore[/QUOTE]

:confused: I was wrongly informed that they had a few more tracks, save the encore then.

No matter, its not like i'm instantly unlocking anything new either way.

I just seem to recall someone who was at the show saying that it was just the encore that was cut out..
Imagine how abnormally long the show would have been if there was more songs cut out? ehehe

I wouldnt be complaining though :) Stamina may become an issue as a negative

I'm an idiot. I thought you were talking about Ghost Reveries. :lol:

Re....WATCH it. Ooooooh boy...time for me to wake up.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]I wouldnt be complaining though :) Stamina may become an issue as a negative[/QUOTE]

Hehe.. .. Those guys have amazing stamina.. Especially lopez, imagine drumming like that for 2 hours.... And growling like mikael for 2 hours..
And then they finish off with Demon of the fall.. They're madmen.. Madmen I tell ya!
