Dude, be a fanboy all you want, but it's freaking true.[/QUOTE]

''[I][SIZE="5"]Rumors[/SIZE][/I] have also been circulating that Lopez's infrequent problems (such as a panic attack on Opeth's "Lamentation" tour) and diagnosis with blood poisoning may be the cause of a cocaine addiction.''

Like I said. Go rape a fire hydrant and stop supporting rumors, thanks.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]On an unrelated note, The Amen Corner has a very unusual name. Does it have meaning?[/QUOTE]


That's a golf term isn't it?

TheCrimsonKing 10-23-2005 05:17 PM

I saw opeth last night. It was a pretty good concert. Played tons of great songs! Didnt play ghost of perdition or windowpane like i wanted them too though :(. Oh well. they still did an amazing concert with tons of great songs!

Probably my least favorite off of BWP... I actually prefer Patterns to this song.

Shadows 10-23-2005 06:30 PM

That's unfortunate. Patterns is good, but I just can't get Harvest out of my head. That along with Leper Affinity.

Toaster 10-23-2005 06:30 PM

Just finished review of Nevermore, check it out.


I know it's low down and dirty, but it gets results. :)

Consider yourself link'd.

Darkness 10-23-2005 07:03 PM

Just read it, good review dude. Thats the only Nevermore album I haven't heard.. and they're one of my favorite bands. Dreaming Neon Black seems to be my favorite, though that changes almost daily. :p

Shadows 10-23-2005 07:04 PM

I think the new TGE is very capable of being considered their best, right alongside DNB.

Darkness 10-23-2005 07:05 PM

I agree, thats a great album indeed.

Shadows 10-23-2005 07:08 PM

NP: Bleak :eek:

I still don't [I]quite[/I] get the hype around this song. It's great, but I think I like Leper Affinity and Dirge for November better.

And of course, Harvest.

Do you see this post Deth?!?! I'm not the only one who isn't in love with that song! The Leper Affinity, The Drapery Falls, and Blackwater Park pwn it with ease. :D

Kaiwaz 10-23-2005 07:12 PM

What hype about [I]Bleak[/I]? I don't know hardly anyone that likes the song. It's one of my favorite Opeth songs. I like the structure of the song, it's unheard of. Especially when the bass line comes in at around 6:40, I lose myself in it every time. God that song is so mesmerizing. I love it.

Darkness 10-23-2005 07:13 PM

Everyone here loves that song, except for me, and my new friend, ShadowsFallen. :D

Most everyone seems to love it around here. There are sections of it that really hit me as incredible, but overall I think the other songs overshadow it.

I can't believe I used to hate this album. This is amazing.

ok lateralus 10-23-2005 07:17 PM

I have to admit, after listening to GR today (and many other times), it's definitely their weakest album. I would say Orchid because it has one or two mediocre tracks but the vibe and some of the songs are so amazing. Its just that GR doesn't really feel THAT emotional or deep compared to, say, MAYH. The only real exceptions are GoP, BotH and Isolation years. Otherwise, Atonement, Hours of Wealth and Beneath the Mire are all great songs. The Grand Conjuration has some good moments. And R/HF really doesn't do it for me at all, very uninspired and the lyrics are kind of dumb at parts. Does anyone agree?

[I]Bleak[/I] means a lot to me. It amplified a tornado that hit this town a few years ago. When I hear it, I lose myself. It's such an incredible song. I can't believe people are bashing it. Oh well, ''To Each His Own'' :D

Hahahah, I was just looking at that usertitle.

This album is really hitting me deep. The acoustic intro on Funeral Portrait is quite impressive, But for some reason, I keep coming back to one song.

Yeah, I don't see what's so good about it either.


Am I your friend now? :p

No, just me.

One question, if you have time to type all of that, why don't you type the song names in full?


[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]

The whole album is impressive, espicially Bleak. I can't count how many times I've listened to that song. I will [I]never[/I] get sick of it. And I'm glad hardly anyone else likes it, it just makes it so much better.

I love the vocals on The Funeral Portrait. He sounds really, really angry for most of the song, and the heavy parts with screaming often come right after a clean break or interlude. It's better than Dirge IMO.

EDIT: What the hell is a Dirge?

Darkness 10-23-2005 07:38 PM

Am I your friend now? :p[/QUOTE]
Nope, sorry just ShadowsFallen. :cool:


:lol: JK Ofcourse. As long as you like Face Of Melinda more then Godheads Lament, though. Same with you Shadows. :p

I am kind of in the mood for some MAYH now.

Sorry, I've been in a kind of crazy mood ever sine I found out I won that competition.. :p

Shadows 10-23-2005 07:47 PM

Hey, this song is pretty good.

It almost makes up for the fact that I have to write a report for religion class. :(
