[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]I can't STAND In My Time Of Need. The verses piss me off so much...they have absolutely no redeeming qualities, and completely bastardize any shred of liking I had for that song.

Death Whispered A Lullaby I like...favorites off that album are Windowpane and Hope Leaves though.[/QUOTE]
I really like that song, though I see what you're saying. The why he does the vocals in the verses, the start stop thing annoys me slightly, but nothing too bad.

Plus, hearing it live helps a lot.

Darkness 11-16-2005 08:10 PM

I really like Weakness, thats a wonderfull song, and perfect to end that album.

Deth 11-16-2005 08:11 PM

Thats probably my least favorite on the album.

Well, actually, there's no probably in that statement.

Darkness 11-16-2005 08:12 PM

You like Ending Credits more then Weakness?

Deth 11-16-2005 08:13 PM

Yeah. I love instrumentals, even though that's not nearly their best.

Darkness 11-16-2005 08:16 PM

Interesting. My favorite is probably Hope Leaves, along with Windowpane and To Rid the Deisease (saw it live :D).

Toaster 11-16-2005 08:16 PM

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.

Deth 11-16-2005 08:17 PM

Switch Wndowpane with Closure and you have my top 3 on that album.

I may listen to that tonight now.

Darkness 11-16-2005 08:18 PM

I enjoy Closure to, but I just really like the emotion in Windowpane more. But Closures got some really cool parts, that one acoustic riff is really sweet.

Toaster 11-16-2005 08:33 PM

This may have already been brought up.. but has anyone else heard about Opeth's bus driver??

Toaster 11-16-2005 08:35 PM

Ouch. Discuss.

Shattered_Future 11-16-2005 08:41 PM

:amaze:

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.

Darkness 11-16-2005 08:54 PM

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Yep, [url]http://truemetal.org/metalwallpaper/[/url]


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.

Jude 11-16-2005 09:19 PM

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]For 600 bucks and a job.[/QUOTE]
Again I repeat, what kind of idiot teenager...

Darkness 11-16-2005 09:20 PM

[QUOTE=Jude]Again I repeat, what kind of idiot teenager...[/QUOTE]
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.

ElectricalStorm 11-16-2005 11:23 PM

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.

Hells Bells 11-17-2005 04:36 PM

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.

Toaster 11-17-2005 05:50 PM

[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...
