No, you don't sound like an emo bitch, ...it's a great song, definitely worth talking about. Patterns In The Ivy II is great also.

I still have never heard Patterns part II. I guess since Patterns part I isn't all that great to me. Is it alot different/better than part I?

It's alot similar to Still Day, just different guitar parts, and different lyrics.

I can send it to you tomorrow, if you want.

Thanks but i can just download it. Thanks again.

Alright. I do recommend the download. That one appealed to me more then Still Day at first for some reason, though now I like both equall.

Can anyone here play Godheads Lament on guitar? If so, i'd really like to hear it.

You crazy kids with your guitars and your "strings."
And your "notes."

Huh? :confused:

^Obviously a percussionist. :)

I haven't heard Still Day Beneath The Sun, or Patterns In The Ivy II.. ;|

Be sure to post how it went.

Only another month to wait, for me !

thanks

I guess I'll get on that now then...

I just bought Still Life and all I can say is wow! I had BWP but this is just godly!

^It sure is... Still Life is becoming my favorite, even though I said I'd never have a favorite Opeth album.

Sent.

Still Life > Blackwater Park

Forever and always.

BWP's title track > all tracks on Still Life, except Godhead's Lament.

[QUOTE=vashts80]BWP's title track > all tracks on Still Life, except Godhead's Lament.[/QUOTE]
Nah, BWP drags on like crazy, the only part on SL that could stand to be any shorter is the intro of The Moor.

Live BWP is amazing. I think the acoustic part from the 2:50 mark or soemthing like that to like 5:00 could be shorter, but the rest of the song is amazing.

Still Life > BWP

But sometimes I doubt it

Meh... I prefer Blackwater Park's lyrical content and value over Still Life. And I still think Still life is a much... more trebley album.

BWP's production is much better than Still Life's... Morningrise is the only Opeth album where the ****ty production works in its favor. Overall though Still Life seems to have more depth and beautiful sections, and tracks 5-7 on BWP may be a stretch of Opeth's least interesting music.

By the mere fact that Blackwater Park contains the songs Bleak and The Drapery Falls, it's automatically better than all their others.


Naw, not really, but those are my two favorite songs by Opeth. Damnation is a fantastic album, and Still Life is also. I still haven't listened to too much pre-BWP stuff, but since it's Opeth, I know it will be amazing.

I really can't see whats so wonderful about Bleak. The Drapery Falls is better than Bleak but still doesn't make Blackwater Park better than all other albums. It is a really good cd but I wouldn't say their best. I don't wanna start another best cd discussion so i won't even state which one i think is their best.

This is true.

It has it's moments. Nonetheless, every album has a particular flaw that doesn't make it more special than the others, but every album has a little something that makes it shine above the others.

for instance, I like how Deliverance is very, very heavy and all that jazz.

Thanks for the songs Dunkelheit, I'd listen to them now but I've been forced onto my computer with about 64mb ram which decides to reset itself if music is played on it =/. And the girls, money etc should be in your mind any time.

The first 4 tracks of BWP > Still Life > The last four tracks of BWP.

Well, right beneath the part you quoted, I said "naw, not really." If I truly meant the part you quoted, that'd make me some elitist nazi bastard, which I'm not. I was just kidding around. 2 songs cannot make an album better than any other album, because they're just part of an album, and can't be thought of as more than a part, even though they are huge parts.

I'm not really sure why I love Bleak either, maybe it's Steve Wilson's guest vocals, maybe I was brainwashed at a young age. But The Drapery Falls is my all-time favorite Opeth song, hands-down.

And it's scientifically proven that no one can pick the best Opeth album, save Jesus and Napoleon, but they won't tell us.

Cool! :chug:

Still Life is way more consistent than BWP. BWP is front loaded, then takes a drop in quality and then comes back (with a bang) at the end but Still Life is solid the whole way through.

Besides lyrically I think Still Life is way more interesting. The story is great. BWP just has some loosely connected metaphors running through it.

Thats a great way of putting it. Every album has something that their other albums doesn't exactly have. I would agree that Deliverance is their heaviest but it also has alot of soft parts. One of my favorite soft parts is in A Fair Judgement. The part where Michael sings ("Leave it be, it was meant for me") all the way through that acoustic section is just amazing.


NP: Sepultura - Propaganda

Still Life > BWP overall, based mainly on consistency. But who cares, I love both.

I've been digging MAYH recently. Demon Of The Fall, When, April Ethereal and Karma ftw. I love the dark evil atmosphere on it. I can actually stand the fact that in the majority of the songs there's no real motif or reoccuring themes. I would probably appreciate Morningrise more if the production wasn't so horrible.

For MAYH? You know it's a concept album, right?

Exactly! That's the best description Ive seen of how BWP is inferior. Still, those first 4 songs and the title track are amazing. and even though it has that stretch of lesser material, most mainstream bands these days be extremely lucky to make an album that good.

No mainstream band could make an album as good as BWP.


Look at my post count!

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]For MAYH? You know it's a concept album, right?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I really did word that wrongly didn't I. I know waht I'm trying to say but I really don't know how to word it.Like in Demon Of The Fall, there are no real recurring themes within the song but more of lots of cool ideas thrown together and I prefer it to Morningrise due to there being better links between the ideas.

The album tells a story, dude.

Damn, now you made me ruin my awesome post count. :angry:
