You strange man.

Bleak vocals = complete pwnage

I know, :upset: its weird... they do sound good once the music slows down, but tell then they sound kinda... annoying. Leper Affinity vocals = complete pwnage. :D

This man speaks the truth.

They're pretty fun to sing along to...probably one of my favorite Opeth songs. It's just brilliant on all fronts.

The Leper Affinity or Bleak?

Leper Affinity.

Bleak I haven't really listened to that much...

I love the opening riff in TLA...it's so evil sounding. :evil:

That song is built of riffing goodness. :D

Nah, BWP has all of the best riffs from the album.

That doesn't meen that TLA doesn't have good riffs. But yeah BWP is riff sex.

It's true... mostly. The Funeral Portrait's got a pretty good riff.

I know, I <3 TLA as well. Most of my love for BWP go to Bleak and the title track though.

So, MAYH has been growing on me like crazy the last couple of weeks.

While we're on the topic of BWP, has anybody heard the song Still Day Beneath The Sun? I think it was a bonus track on certain releases...

Great acoustic song.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]We decided one already, sorta.

"Look Your Last Apon the Sun - Opeth"[/QUOTE]

when was this decided upon? I'm not really feeling the title, what is it supposed to convey?

[QUOTE=Scruples]It's true... mostly. The Funeral Portrait's got a pretty good riff.[/QUOTE]

Agreed, I love that melody.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]The Leper Affinity or Bleak?[/QUOTE]

The Leper Affinity: You can't beat the downright depressing outro riffs and piano.

Bleak is a great song though, especially the chorus riffs, it sounds so dark and atmospheric.

As for my favorite track on BWP, I'd say "Dirge For November," I love the clean outro with heavy reverb. It makes it sound spacey and atmospheric.

I love all the riffs in Dirge, but the structure lacks.

Dirge is a great song, I see nothing wrong with it... it's just one of Opeth's less good songs.

I've heard that and Patterns in the Ivy II. They're both great songs.

Awesome songs, I uploaded them a while back for someone...

Makes me wish I bought the reissue with the bonus disc.

Also, that white disc just doesn't seem right. All that dark artwork and then a white disc.

I like how Ghost Reveries is all black... even the font.

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.
