[QUOTE=MidnightRider]It took BWP a long time to grow on me, but I love it now. I don't think it drags on that bad, I never get bored with it. The growls are amazing.[/QUOTE]


I love how it fades off into that really slow riff for a while, it builds up to the climax so perfectly. :)

Seed Awakening 02-19-2006 12:10 PM

[QUOTE=Treebeard]Does anyone know any of the set lists that have been played so far?[/QUOTE]

When I saw them with Nevermore in Toronto they played something like:

Baying of the Hounds
When
Deliverance
In My Time of Need
Bleak
Grand Conjuration
Face of Melinda
Blackwater Park
Demon of the Fall

They usually play Demon of the Fall as an encore, unless the crowd sucks I guess.

[QUOTE=Flynn]^^ well, what did you think?[/QUOTE]

It was good. I'll have to listen to it again though...after one listen to an Opeth song, not everything goes in :)

Kaiwaz 02-19-2006 12:20 PM

yeah, give it a few listens...it's grow on you like vines. \m/ -_- \m/

Stormrider 02-19-2006 12:24 PM

Yeah I will.

I also listened to Forest of October for the first time. Once again, I'll have to listen to it again :p I liked it though.

Seed Awakening 02-19-2006 12:24 PM

Blackwater Park is a sick song, my second favorite from that album other then Bleak. I found it was better live, Mikael sounds way more evil.

TojesDolan 02-19-2006 12:24 PM

The biggest drag-on in Blackwater Park is the acoustic part after the first stanza. If it was put a little bit... probably some good minutes after that, I suppose it could've been better. But no. It's too boring considering the... mood of the song up to that point.

On a related note, let's also discuss... our favorite line songs in Opeth songs. I start.

Deliverance, somewhere after the growled section finishes:

[I]the piercing sounds you make
soaring higher, higher now
and once left in my wake
your memory is nothing but the scars on me [/I]

And, Hope leaves, the chorus thingy:

[I]There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place [/I]

Yeah, out of that part, those are the ones I have very stuck in my head at the moment.

Seed Awakening 02-19-2006 12:26 PM

I like the last verse of Windowpane:

Haunting loneliness in the eye
Skin covering a secret scar
His hand is waving a goodbye
There's no response or action returned

There is deep prejudice in me
Outshines all reason inside
Given dreams all ridden with pain
And projected unto the last

Shattered_Future 02-19-2006 12:34 PM

The second verse of Bleak:

Moving/I am moving closer to your side
Luring/You are luring me into the night
Crying/Who is crying for you here?
Dying/I am dying fast inside your tears

Everytime he growls that line, it gives me goosebumps...

Kaiwaz 02-19-2006 12:43 PM

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Yeah I will.

Oh man, that song is great. :thumb:

Stormrider 02-19-2006 12:48 PM

Hmm, I'll listen again to it right now :p

EDIT: I think I've just found my nexy Opeth song to learn...

I didnt see them, i frequently check the forums at Opeth.com for the setlists and it seems they are switching up 2 songs every night.

I'll go look at the tab after. But I want to finish Black Rose Immortal before starting any other Opeth song.

That's a great song to learn, especially if you have some type of multi track playback recorder. It's fun to play along with. :thumb:

Yes, very fun to play along to.

And yeah, I was looking for a recording program that I could have fun with. Only have this cheap mic so far.

I'm at the 14 minute mark, plan to get further later on today.

EDIT: Since I know you like Death a lot, would you mind sending me some of their stuff when you have time ? Thanks a lot. Well, if you want..
