Crap...isn't that the band you told me to check out a few weeks ago? I've had some of their songs sitting around on my computer unlistened for a little while.

[QUOTE=Flynn]Yes. I made a few threads about them. Why what's up?[/QUOTE]
I'm just wondering. I finally found [I]Skywards[/I] a few days ago and I can't stop listening to it. Great stuff. I thought I remembered someone putting me onto them but I wasn't sure.

Didn't he say something about 20 bucks?

I have the My Arms Your Hearse with the bonus tracks. And I have to say it kills the flow for me. Which leads me to my next question, which Opeth album flows as one?

Yes Still Life is a concept album but I can't distinguish where Moonlapse ends and Serenity Painted Death begins. However with MAYH, I can link pretty much every song beginning to end.

Yeah. He said he'd pay 20 bucks if we didn't like it.

Yeah it's a good record. :) I listen to it almost every day. I can't wait for Sterling Black Icon.

There's no ''we'' It was one person, you were not involved. And you know it's a good album.

Huh? What are you talking about, you said that to me.

So did you buy the CD?

Yeah.

[QUOTE=Kage]Yeah.[/QUOTE]


Cool. So you want your money? Even though I know you like the album.

...

..can I have $20 too?

[QUOTE=JamJar]I got ghost reveries yesterday, so far its's ok; Beneath the Mire, Ghost Of Perdition and Isolation Years are my favourites at the moment. But honestly, Atonement; I just don't get that song, it reminds me of Ambuletz by The Mars Volta for some reason :confused:[/QUOTE]

It's an experiment. The song really reminds me of the classic 60's era psychadelia. I'm really glad that Opeth decided to try something new rather than rehashing any "formulas" like many bands tend to do...the fact that they're always trying new ideas is what keeps them great.

Wouldn't that be a sign that the album flows very well? Anyways, Still Life and Blackwater Park flow the best IMO.

Atonement really grew on me.That guitar riff is just sexy.

Agreed. I, personally, like that "side" of the album, so to speak. Ghost Reveries is a great album.

You can't distinguish the entire song 'Face of Melinda?'

It's Chuck Schuldiner.

Atonement is definitely my favorite track off GR. It stands alone on that album though. Its the direction I hope Opeth will take on their next.

I also have the MAYH edition with the extra tracks. I just stop the album when its done, so as not to spoil the flow.

As for flow, MAYH was meant to flow. The last word in every song is the name of the next song, plus, some songs flow into each other, like one song.

And I also agree with Jude. How the hell can you miss Face of Melinda? Its a stunning track!:confused:

Yes I thought Moonlapse was before Serenity (hit me!)
But basically, Still Life, at some points suffers from a lack of identity in the songs. On MAYH, the ending of April Ethereal (the off key heavy riff) leading into the flanged acoustic intro of "When" is a perfect example of how to merge two songs together. That and the fact I listen to it far too much. But Still Life, with it's magnificent concept doesn't stay as cohesive. I've listened intently to Still Life, but some parts you could swap around and I wouldn't even notice. *Hoping this album will grow on me*

Not MAYH? I think that flows perfectly.

[QUOTE=ok lateralus]Anyone else get a strong urge to introduce everyone they meet to Opeth? I just want to share their greatness.[/QUOTE]

I've shown a bunch of my friends. Most don't like them because they all have A.D.D.

The one criticism when I show people music that I cannot stand is "it takes too long to get to the good part."

:angry:

Agreed, some people just really don't have the atention span. It's like I showed Push it by Tool to one of my friends and he turned it away before it even had a chance to get to the awsome dramatic climax. Fools.

Yeah, the same happens to me. And it sucks too. How are you supposed to describe the final part of push it to someone if you can't play it to him. Fast-Food Society!:p

Anyway, listening to Blackwater park (song).

Oh.My.God.

Its so amazing. The ending is the best. Of any song!:D

No, Demon Of The Fall has a better ending :p

And The Amen Corner has the best intro ever :)

You might be right.

Thats anoying. I hate it when ppl put a time span to a song. For example, if the song is longer then 5 minutes theyll get anoyed of it.

Anyways...( I figured i didnt have to put this in the recommendations thread)

Can anyone recomend me any good songs from the older Opeth ? Like, from there first 2 or 3 albums.
