I can't even read the text on the new album, black against black. It's two different shades or something, but I can't read it unless I hold it to a bright light and strain myself.

I can see it... the font is really shiny...

So I broke down and bought an Opeth album today. Deliverance. I had the bass up high and I couldn't hear the vocals much, and it was much better than what I've previously heard by them. The vocals are what always bothered me and they weren't too prevalent. I was glad. I might be able to get into this band now.

Shoulda got Blackwater Park... Deliverance is good, but the vocals are harsher.

But Deliverance was only $8.

But Blackwater is better.

I really like both albums, I can't say Blackwater is better... I really like the heaviness/rawness in Deliverance.

I wasn't going to pay more than that for a CD by a band that up to that point I couldn't stand a single song by. If I can get into this though I might pick up more.

I really hope you can get into them. Just look past the vocals, and they have plenty of songs with little to no harsh vocals. Myabe you should check out the new CD next. If you decide you don't like them based on Deliverance, please look into them further. That album was made to be harsh and heavy, so it may have been a bad choice to start with since you don't like that aspect of them.

With time you should learn to love them though.

What he said. Get Dam[I]n[/I]ation if your into the slow acoustic stuff. Opeth have something for everyone.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Shoulda got Blackwater Park... Deliverance is good, but the vocals are harsher.[/QUOTE]

His vocals on that album kind of go "gaaaaagh" rather than "groooowwwwrrrrr." One of the many reasons I like Deliverance less than the other heavy albums of Opeth's latter era.

Dancin' Man hates "Ghost Reveries" for some reason. I wonder why.

Nice description :lol:

I have names for thread: Demons of the Fall

I think we will have a competition for this, because we have been discussing this for way too long without acting on it.

[SIZE=5][COLOR=Red][B]ATTN: Start suggesting names for the official Opeth thread. I will keep track of them, and when there are enough nominations, I will start a vote. I will personally keep track of these votes as well. The name with the highest amount of votes will be the new title for our official Opeth thread.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

Hey guys- I can't find it... Who are they playing with on the U.S Tour again?

They play the West Coast with Pelican (amazing band, check them out if you haven't) and the East Coast with Nevermore.

I get them with Nevermore, though I would prefer Pelican.

I agree that this would be the best choice.

Double agreed.

who's going to the "Hollywood-House Of Blues" show? I was wondering if anyone wants to meet up and hang out? I'm most likely going to go by myself.

Really? They must be pretty good then. Sweet, I look forward to it.

It's on a monday so I have no ride to Hollywood. I guess I could take the metro rail. Though that would take me through the ghetto.

lol, I have to drive from Santa Barbara, all the way over there, plus I get off school around 3:40 pm, and with rush hour traffic? :( I just hope I can see opeth, I wouldn't mind missing the opener.

Hope my idea of Still Day Beneath the Forums gets in the poll.

Can someone upload some songs for me?!

I've only heard Windowpane, Bleak and Harvest and I love them :)

Might buy that DVD of theirs

[SIZE=4][COLOR=Red]Ok guys, I am going to make this a little more complicated. Now you can only suggest three(3) entries to be i the voting. That means each member can come up with no more than three thread titles, but isn't required to created all three. When you guys suggest 5+ titles, it gets very confusing.

I am wiping the slate clean, so if you have no made a suggestion, you will have to re-post it.

GO![/COLOR][/SIZE]
