[QUOTE=Shattered_Future] Where's The Leper Affinity?[/QUOTE]

More importantly, where's [I]any[/I] song from [I]Orchid[/I] or [I]Morningrise[/I]? I'd love to hear them play at least one song live from either album. I wonder what To Bid You Farewell sounds like live? That would be so badass!

Shadows 10-17-2005 04:50 PM

How could you not care for Orchid!!?? I think it has the best acoustic stuff Opeth's ever done.

Shattered_Future 10-17-2005 04:51 PM

[QUOTE=cjborton]Looks like they dropped Leper in favor of Bleak. Love both songs, but I'm so glad they're playing Bleak. Would I be wrong saying before this tour they never played Bleak live?[/QUOTE]

I'm still on the fence which I'd rather hear though...

Bleak I'm really getting into lately, but The Leper Affinity was my first real experience with uberheavy Opeth...

I wish they'd play both.

No, I really wish I could just GO to the goddamn concert. :evil:

EDIT: It would be awesome if they played Forest Of October as well.

Don't worry, they'll definately be around again.

I'm pretty sure they played it at a few shows last tour....not at the one I was at though.

I can't wait!!!!

That's why I prefer Bleak. It was the first ever Opeth song I heard and the one that really sold me on them. So Hearing that one, for me, would be stellar.

Indeed, a great album. Kind of takes you to another place if you know what I mean. Otherworldly

Shadows 10-17-2005 04:59 PM

By Flynn's request, I'm listening to Blackwater Park again for the first time in a year or so.

All I've heard is the first half of Dirge for November, but all I can say is :eek:

Well, I think it's the weakest on the album, so that's really saying something.

...yet you're using the cover of it as your avatar?

NP: The very beginning of [I]Bleak[/I]

That's even more :eek::eek::eek::eek: than the last song.

I don't know, the ending of Blackwater Park is jaw-dropping.

Darkness 10-17-2005 05:15 PM

[QUOTE=ok lateralus]Yeah, well the main complaint i have is that the title track is unmemorable. But i should listen to it more i guess. I used to not care for Orchid too, then I listened to it a lot, now I love it[/QUOTE]
Thats one of the bands best songs, IMO. No other song has the power that one does, let alone awesome riffs/vocals/lyrics... the goosebumps I get hearing the last line...

yeah, I'm going to listen to the whole album again tonight. I've only heard the whole thing like 3 times anyway, so that makes sense because no opeth album (besides maybe damnation i think) i immediately "got" on the very first couple listens.

Darkness 10-17-2005 05:21 PM

Listen to the last 2 songs in bed when your first going to sleep... trust me... :p

Hah i will, Opeth can be great nighttime in bed music
Btw, how long is your copy of the Funeral Portrait? I'm just wondering because mine (its an "illegal" copy..or mp3) is around 2 minutes... seems like it would be longer..?

Darkness 10-17-2005 05:25 PM

Should be around 8. :lol: Go buy it dude.

ok lateralus 10-17-2005 05:26 PM

Hah, yeah I figured. Whoops

Opeth can be the best bedtime music as long as you are in complete darkness and don't try to fall asleep :D. I did that with Morningrise and it was the best hour of music in my life.



I may get to go to Spain this summer. The very first thing I saw was that there was an entire day dedicated to relaxing at a beach. A sunset/sunrise/full moon on a beach would be surreal while listening to Opeth.

Kaiwaz 10-17-2005 05:33 PM

I just got done listening to every Opeth album starting with Orchid, and ending with Ghost Reveries. 7 hours and 47 minutes of Opeth...I'm exhausted.:amaze: It's good music to listen to while playing Texas Hold'em and drinking Budweiser. :D

whatduffhuck7 10-17-2005 06:39 PM

i get tired when i sit down and listen to one opeth album, all 8 would be very tiring

I was listening to Ghost Reveries earlier today. 10 minute Opeth songs just seem to fly by with me now.

Kaiwaz 10-17-2005 06:42 PM

:lol: It's cool when you're doing something along with it though, you get certain moods with different songs...I love Opeth when it comes to poker. I made $645 today :D I'm not pointing the finger at Opeth's music, but I am CERTAINLY not betting unless Opeth is playing.

strat 10-17-2005 06:42 PM

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Where's The Leper Affinity? :evil:

And replace In My Time Of Need with Windowpane, and that will be an awesomely outrageous setlist.[/QUOTE]

In My Time of Need is awesome live, with the crowd singing along. Really, really kickass. Didn't care for the song until I heard it live.

Hive 10-17-2005 06:44 PM

opeth sounds about 40 times better at night.

Woah. :eek: $645? I should gamble with Opeth sometime.

Shattered_Future 10-17-2005 06:48 PM

I can't concentrate through a whole Opeth album...:upset:

I listened to Ghost Reveries on the way up to my grandma's...blanked out from The Baying Of The Hounds up until The Grand Conjuration. :upset:

whatduffhuck7 10-17-2005 06:49 PM

i put in the opeth cd and read the book/lyrics while i listen

lol I blank out listening to that album also. I dislike it.

Why is it you dislike GR?

You missed the best parts of the album.

Beneath the Mire + Hours of Wealth + Reverie/Harlequin Forest = an album I would buy, even if it only had those three.
