... 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:

[QUOTE=adioviva]i have no reservations about neck raping[/QUOTE]
Throat rape is hawt

But seriously, get out of this thread.

Ok, new topic. I don't know if it's already been asked, because I didn't look through the thread, but what's everyone's favoritre acoustic parts of songs?

Mine would be :

Godhead's lament ( around 4.49)
Black Rose Immortal ( I guess at 10 minutes)
Serenity painted Death ( Don't remember exact time)
Karma (Also, don't remember the time)

i haven't heard the first 3 albums or deliverance, although i have a download of my arms, your hearse at %90 };p~

but from what i've heard my faves are...

3:43 godheads lament.
pretty much all of benighted. ;p
8:07 serenity painted death. that Aminor riff is FVUCKING genius. prolly my fave. i guess epihasi and i mean the same part perhaps.
4:47 the leper affinity .. who in their right mind would not enjoy this? (+vocals)
4:25 bleak.
1:45 the drapery falls.
1:47 blackwater park. which then goes heavy and pwns all.
0:39 death whispered a lullaby. reminds of metroid for some reason. great melody.

and ANY acoustic parts on ghost reveries.. they own all.

listening to my arms, your hearse right now..
just finished april ethereal..
!@^*&@^&!^

umm.. good. . .. !?? !??!
very very very good. start of when as i write this .. double kick is pwning me.

hahhah brilliant! !@!@^%

MAYH is my fav Opeth album...its so balanced!

yes !!
halfway through the amen corner atm.. unbelievable!

but!..
i'm at the official opeth site.. reading lyrics to the album and i heard no words during madrigal..

and apparently is should be..

" Our abode ´mongst the stars is waiting, long enough for our last breath of life. You stare at nothing, right through me, at times resembling the Devil's concubine. And me, I am the idol that would long to caress our eyes until they would open no more. I would comfort you if I only could, but as we all know by now...I am just thin air. Unaware as you are of my presence, you are losing yourself. Hiding within The Amen Corner "

and i hear no singing..
yeah.. whats the deal?? :( :( :confused:

sorry for posting so much at one time..
but ffs.
demon of the fall.

!!!!!!!!!!!

/wants secks with band esp. drummer .
this is fvucking ....AJLSDASLDJKHAKLDHSKJDH!!!!!!!!!!!!@^%!$^%!@!

Edit this post into your previous ones. It looks less cluttered and you wont get banned. :)

/life-saver

understood.
/attempts to be sober.

(..beginning of karma .. !!!)

/end post after every song

Lyrics during Madrigal? That confuses me...I also hear nothing. I think what it might be is an explanation of the song to fit in with the concept of MAYH, maybe to let people see that the song is actually part of the storyline as opposed to just something to add to the atmosphere of the album?

[QUOTE=penelope_weird_hands]yes !!

the album is a concept album and it has a story through every song, yet madrigal doesn't have the vocal aspect to it, just the story aspect.

same goes for prologue and epilogue

[QUOTE=bball_1523]the album is a concept album and it has a story through every song, yet madrigal doesn't have the vocal aspect to it, just the story aspect.[/QUOTE]

Heh, yeah that's what I thought about it too, but I didn't realize it until I read penelope_weird_hands post. I had always thought it was just an instrumental until now.

[quote=the2stranger]^

Is there a description for those songs too?

[QUOTE=the2stranger]^

IMO Epilogue has the best lyrics of all three of them.

[QUOTE=Txus]IMO Epilogue has the best lyrics of all three of them.[/QUOTE]

indeed
I have the text printed on a piece of papaer and fixed it onto my wall, so I can look at it whenever I want. :)

np: Opeth - Windowpane

[QUOTE=Txus]IMO Epilogue has the best lyrics of all three of them.[/QUOTE]

I agree.

Oh yeah of course there's a description, I remember reading the lyrics to MAYH. I haven't seen many concept albums where the songs are tied together as well as this one, the last word of each song even leads into the next one.

Epilogue
[quote=]There it was.
The final destiny.
A sunrise that never came,
still the night lamp that never faded away.
Farewell was the word,
and the afterglow was the brave morning.
Rising and telling everyone
about the beauty of its PROLOGUE.
[/quote]

Mikael is a fantastic songwriter.

Does anyone else hate TGC video? The thing that really gets me is that none of the band members face is shown AT ALL. They have their hair in front of their face to be "mysterious" (the word I imagine being thrown around when the video was being made).

Ok, seriously, I ****ing hate this video badly. Why does that guy with the mask have to lip sync the growls? Am I suppose to want to smash a guitar over Opeth's head for having such an atrocious video? They probably had little say in it the making though, but why shouldn't the band be blamed for such an awful creation?



Now onto the album! 1 and 2 are amazing. There are some of the best acoustic bits in them. 3, 5, and 8 are good. 4 and 7 are skip worthy... even though I won't skip them yet until I get a more finalized grasp on my opinion.

Isolation years would be an awesome song to end on if the track itself had a respectable ending, but it just kind of shut downs.

Atonement is just kind of boring along with TGC. TGC has some great parts, but the verse is dull and the main riff is too similar to BWP's last riff. I'm going to try to analyze the 2 riffs to see just how similar they are. My hypothesis is that it will have identical interval movement with a different cadence.

The videos fine... its not the best, but who cares. The CD rocks, and thats what matters. Oh and BWPs last riff is that little fade out acoustic thing... how is that similar to TGCs riff?

The last riff.. I don't consider the a acoustic outro dealy a riff.

The thing right before that part.
