[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]The first 2 could have been a little better, but they're still very listenable, obviously.[/QUOTE]
Well since you were talking about the raw and unpolished feel, I guess it worked for those first few albums.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Production's not that bad on the Hearse... It's pretty raw, but it's definatly clear.[/QUOTE]


Indeed. I think it gave it a special standard, it fit well with the music recorded.

[QUOTE=Thor]Isn't your favorite Opeth album Morningrise? If so, you're the only person I know who thinks that. It used to be my least favorite album, but now I'm back into it and I think that "Black Rose Immortal" and "The Bid You Farewell" are simply great tracks.

Also on the subject of Morningrise, didn't Mikael say that he hated "The Night and the Silent Water"? If so, why? It's a fairly decent track.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Morningrise is def. my favorite Opeth album. I think a lot of people on this forum say the same, but then again there are much more Still Life and BWP lovers out there

I would have to say that Blackwater Park is the fan favorite out there, and with good reason. :thumb:

I once valued Morningrise as my favorite, but I think My Arms, Your Hearse is my new favorite [B]O[/B]peth album at the moment. Memories from that album the past couple of springs are getting to me. :)

[QUOTE=Flynn]Indeed. I think it gave it a special standard, it fit well with the music recorded.[/QUOTE]

Definitely, I love the drum sound on that album... Its so great at the beginning of April Ethereal when they come in, it has a very brutal kind of sound they never captured again really

Yeah no doubt! I remember when I first bought MAYH, I listened to it all the way through and said to myself ''what the hell is this?'' But it grew on me hard, something [B]O[/B]peth is good at doing to me :lol:

Me to, and same for me. :)

Now that you mention [I]Ghost Reveries[/I], I have been listening to it a lot lately...:)

I feel that for Orchid. It's an odd sentimental attachment.

haha yeah man, I know [I]exactly[/I] what you mean. :thumb:

I'm seeing Opeth tomorrow!! Awesome!!

[QUOTE=Moses]I'm seeing Opeth tomorrow!! Awesome!![/QUOTE]
Sweet dude, taking the Mrs?

No, taking a friend of mine that I recently got into Opeth. I think he likes them more than me now. I still might be taking the Mrs. to the Taste of Chaos Tour for Deftones, Dredg, and Pelican if she gets back from her new work place* soon enough.

*Six Flags, she gets to be Tweety.

I've stopped listening a lot of Opeth lately and focusin on other music... idon't want to turn into a weird fanboy or something like that,

On a related note, does anyone one the chords/stuff at the beginning of "harvest"? I hear a chord or something pretty similar to E major, but it's... not E major. And I don't have a lot of time to figure out because I'm lazy.

It's A minor I think. Though it might be in D minor and just start on the Dominant.

I go on Opeth binges but I've never been a fanboy really.

I plan to learn and record Ending Credits tonight. It will be all acoustic and without drums or bass, but I think it will be an ambitious goal to get it down in one night, even if it is incredibly easy.

The Twilight is My Robe is my favorite song on Orchid and is actually the first point where I start to dig the album alot.... The names on this album and Morningrise are so powerful.

It's just an Em strumming all the strings, and then you add in F# on the low E (2nd fret), then its just these two as well

D 4 5
A 5 7

Dunno what those kinds of chords are called.

That would be cool to hear, post it on this thread whenever you get a chance.

Is anyone in a band that has dared to cover an Opeth song?

[QUOTE=Thor]So being bad is good? I just don't understand what you're getting out of this.[/QUOTE]
Wooahhhhh woah woah. Are you saying that their earlier albums were [I]bad?[/I]

Em7sus2
Em7

But I'm a n00b at naming chords, so that could be wrong...

[QUOTE=Moses]I'm seeing Opeth tomorrow!! Awesome!![/QUOTE]

Mmm, so am I (I think you may have been at the Rave a few of the times I have, actually). You might spot me, I'll be the long-haired kid with the Meshuggah "I" shirt on, closely followed by drunk/high people I really don't want to bring with. I'm still trying to convince other people to go.

I'm psyched, can't wait for a great concert, though I'm not in the best condition so I may opt to move to the balcony right above the stage. The setlists I've seen for Opeth and DT are awesome.

Opeth tonight for me too. I can't wait.

[QUOTE=Moses]The Twilight is My Robe is my favorite song on Orchid and is actually the first point where I start to dig the album alot.... The names on this album and Morningrise are so powerful.[/QUOTE]


Yes they are. I like playing [I]The Twilight Is My Robe[/I] on guitar, it's a great song to just jam out. \m/ -_- \m/

I've wanted to learn that song for a long time now. Except there are no powertabs for it.

I have to wait to get guitarpro...

^ Just download the demo of it, and use it forever, like me. :)

My freind will give me the real version on cd with the code and all...no idea how he got it though.

The internet is quiet vast in a filesharing context.

yep. :D

On a related note, I was thinkingabout painting the cover from Morningrise for my art class, but the shadows and overall drawing were going to be a bitch to draw. Plus my teacher thinks it's too gothic.

I'll have to go with Dali. The artist, not his art.

If they play Karma at the concert tomorrow, I'm gonna snap. I so wanna mosh to the outro.

I'm still hoping for a surprise BWP and Face Of Melinda... not looking good though. :upset:

I'd like to see them play Blackwater Park and maybe even Face of Melinda, but I'd love to see them play Karma live. That song is so lethal...

You want lethal?! They should play Wreath! :evil:

:lol: yeah I love [I]Wreath[/I], but I've already seen them play that, and yes it kicked major a[SIZE="2"]s[/SIZE]s! I would love to hear [I]Karma[/I] live, I want to see that so bad.

Damn Vehicle troubles....I WANTED TO GO SO BAD!!! I hope my buddy doesnt go to it so he doesnt brag to me. i know he would.
Me, i hope he goes. He can tell what they like instead of just coming on here n watchin u guys talk lol
