Ouch. Discuss.

There's ALWAYS somebody like that on the news...

To Rid The Disease I just listened to...good song.

Deth 11-16-2005 08:43 PM

That guy looks so creepy as well.

Did you guys hear about that whole bus driver scandel? See their website for details.[/QUOTE]
I brought it up on the last page, but was ignored. :upset:

Jude 11-16-2005 08:56 PM

I saw the bus driver thing on the ultimatemetal.com Opeth forum. My immediate thought was, what kind of idiot teenager flies to Florida to meet some shady bus driver coke dealer?

Darkness 11-16-2005 09:05 PM

For 600 bucks and a job.

I agree, but thats what it said.

lost_profits 11-16-2005 09:59 PM

Weakness is probably my favourite off damnation. That and windowpane.
It's probably the eeriest Opeth track of them all.

Det_Nosnip 11-16-2005 11:11 PM

IMO Dam nation is pure gold. I really can't understand why anybody dislikes In My Time of Need or Death Whispered a Lullaby.

Hey what's up guys, I've been really busy as of late so I couldn't really post but I will still be doing an April Ethereal analysis very soon I promise. Just a reminder and a buffer post of sorts., so sorry for interrupting the flow of thread.

The analysis will be more focused than my makeshift deliverence one and is going to be interpretive in nature rather than factual--of course this is a given....In other words the content is expandable, malleable and most definitely not absolute--so discussion will be welcomed!

I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I just found out that the lyrics for MAYH were written before the music. Fun fact.

Spinal Pap 11-17-2005 03:09 PM

Mikael's doing great in the polls. I went with him over McCartney, but it was close.

Since it was a concept album, it might have been easier to have the lyrics already written. There'd be something more concrete to base the music on and the album would flow better IMO.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]IMO Dam nation is pure gold. I really can't understand why anybody dislikes In My Time of Need or Death Whispered a Lullaby.[/QUOTE]

I love IMToN, but not so much the latter. Mikael's voice isn't that great on it, and the song in total just seems sort of rushed and uninspired. The fact that Mikael didn't write the lyrics sort of bugs me, too. Those are probably my favourite tracks off that album, though.

I'm rediscovering my love for Karma, though.. it's such a heavy song, emotionally. Some of the note choices during the bridge are so weird, yet they work in the overall scheme. His screaming is delicious, too.

Killtacular 11-17-2005 05:59 PM

Cmon, fellas.
Damn is no longer censored.

Darkness 11-17-2005 06:02 PM

I wonder who Deth will vote for... Mikeal or Rob..

Killtacular 11-17-2005 06:04 PM

Let's take bets.
I say Rob.
Twenty bucks.

Darkness 11-17-2005 06:18 PM

Canadian, or American? :p

Stormrider 11-17-2005 06:35 PM

Didnt he already vote ?...I saw his post saying Halford all the way...

Darkness 11-17-2005 06:46 PM

Oh, I must have missed it. The bastard..

Killtacular 11-17-2005 06:59 PM

Ha! I win. I didn't even know he had voted yet, either.

Cough up my 20, you dirty Kanadian!!
I want American money too, none of them maple syrup coated toonies.

Darkness 11-17-2005 07:19 PM

I didn't even agree to that bet! I knew he'd vote Halford, he's a fanboy.

Toaster 11-17-2005 07:21 PM

He voted Halford?

And I thought he knew his music. :p

Shattered_Future 11-17-2005 07:21 PM

Darkness, I suggest you give the man his money...Scruples is known for rabid badger outbursts.

On a side note, I'm getting an Opeth watch for Christmas. :D

Awesome. I didn't even know they existed. Now you'll know when you're in your time of need.

:lol: ...clever.

Yea, they had 3 different faces for the watch. :eek:

If you go on to [URL="http://www.infinity1.com"]http://www.infinity1.com[/URL] and find some way to get them to send a catalog to your house, you can get loads of crap from it (good crap, mind you. :p)

Ordering a whole bunch of stuff from it for Christmas, watch included.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]On a side note, I'm getting an Opeth watch for Christmas. :D[/QUOTE]

Thats pretty cool. I would add that to my list, but I don't think my parents would go for it. My mom thinks it's satanic music because of the growls and because it's called death metal. :)

I'm already getting a shirt and Lamentations, that should do for now.

Shirts and cd's is practicly all Im asking for Christmas. Including my copy of Orchid :) .

Shattered_Future 11-17-2005 07:35 PM

Oddly enough, my mom let me order an Immortal shirt with a picture of them decked out in full black metalness on the front, and "Demons Of Metal" in a large pentagram on the back, but she wouldn't let me order a Necrophagist shirt with just that on the front.

Weird, ain't it? :confused:

Toaster 11-17-2005 07:37 PM

Hah, she probably considers "Immortal" to be Christian or something. "Necrophagist" is far more satanic sounding.

:eek: They have Necrophagist shirts? I'm out of the loop.

EDIT: Check out what Opeth says about the incident on their website. Pretty scathing, to say the least.

Deth 11-17-2005 07:48 PM

[QUOTE=toaster135]He voted Halford?

I'll take all of you on!

I actually looked at the poll results, saw Mikeal was destroying everyone and went Rob. I would have voted for anyone who was behind.

That's a pretty good point. However, there could be a reason Mikael's ahead. (Besides the "high number of Opeth fanboys".)

Kaiwaz 11-17-2005 10:21 PM

[QUOTE=toaster135]I don't know about Weakness. It's cool sometimes, when I'm going to sleep or something, but otherwise its sort of.. really boring. It has no character to me.[/QUOTE]


Yeah, I can't count how many times I've listened to that song before I sleep or during. It's a good song to listen to when you just wanna relax, or listening to it wasted in the middle of nowhere looking up at the sky in darkness. [I]Weakness[/I] is tight.:)

:lol: That's crazy, what are the odds! We cover that song, and [I]only[/I] that song. We hate playing covers but made an exception with [I]Punish My Heaven[/I]. Great band. :)
