[QUOTE=Crysiss]Ive never really listened to Demon Of The Fall all too much. Especially music from MAYH, yet Im falling in love with the songs on there.
np. Remember Tomorrow[/QUOTE]


It's a complex album, it may take some time to get into it, but in the long run...it's well worth it. It's my favorite [B]O[/B]peth album by a long shot.

Next week...

[QUOTE=Flynn]Guys! I love Still Life! My favorite Opeth album by far![/QUOTE]

:lol: :p

I've decided that my love of all Opeth albums has become too complex for me to choose a single favorite album, though I would say Orchid has a [I]very[/I] slight edge over others.

Same with me, except with Still Life... er, Blackwater Park. No wait, Deliverance.. no, no definatly Still Life. :thumb:

Yeah, maybe it's not Orchid...I have no idea, they're all so good.

I still like [I]Orchid[/I] a lot, don't get me wrong. I used to severly slut that album like it was a watermelon jolly rancher. I've found that I like the way the Hearse was put together. It gives me a feeling no other [B]O[/B]peth album can touch, but that is 3 years of listening to it, in weird places at the right time. That experience, as of now, has a tremendous amount of emotion to go along with the album. Åkerfeldt's display of prowess on the album is extraordinary and no album in any genre, when compared, will even come close to the immense impact that [I]My Arms, Your Hearse[/I] had the time it came out, not to mention no album today stands close to the intricacy displayed on the Hearse, in all areas.

You crazy kids and your [i]Orchid[/i].

Still Life still wins. Oh, and I actually bought a copy of it. Sure, it's from some guy in Kanadia, but it's soon to me MINE. I expect it to come with maple syrup stains on the cover.

For any Australians who post in here, The Eternal have just been named as the supports for Opeth on their tour down under. I figured a couple of you might be interested in this. :)

I am unfamiliar with The Eternal.
<- metal noob. :#

Are they Australian?
*can't be fvcked googling*

Yeah, they are from Melbourne. I haven't heard anything by them though. Apparently they are a Goth/Doom band.

Ah OK.
I'll have to see if anyone I know has heard them/any cd's... I doubt it though, I haven't heard of these guys before.

D'oh..I keep getting "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" when I go to their official website. I'll try later, see if they have any samples/mp3s.

[QUOTE=Jude]Only problem with DOTF as an encore is the climax ("Demon of the fall" riff) is halway through the song and it kind of winds down after that.[/QUOTE]

If by "winds down" you mean "gets to one of the best Opeth moments ever," then you'd be correct. :)

The ending part is one of the most emotional things that they've done, IMO.

Well yeah but for a live encore, you want the song to end on a really intense part...ie BWP or Deliverance, that's why I think those are better encores.

Hmm... I'd like to hear some of Peter Lindgren's own original music.
Not necessarily in Opeth, but yeah..
Akerfeldt pwns but <3 for Lindgren++

anyone know if it is possible at all to send fanmail to the band?

In the song Godheads Lament, what the hell is an "undisguised manmade nova"?

[QUOTE=UpperDecker]In the song Godheads Lament, what the hell is an "undisguised manmade nova"?[/QUOTE]
It's an interstellar explosion from a star, which I suppose is made by a man. Probably referring to destruction created and bred by men?

There are so many Opeth lyrics that I just don't get/don't make sense...

The metaphors Mikael use are indeed very goood and confusing, but for some way after the y make sense they seem much, much better.

[QUOTE=Jude]There are so many Opeth lyrics that I just don't get/don't make sense...[/QUOTE]

Same here.

"I laugh under the weeping moon!" WHAT DOES IT MEAN (sarcasm)???. Post some that don't make sense to you and maybe someone else can figure it out.

Here's an obvious one: "Searching My Way to Perplexion." One of the best vocal deliveries of all time, but what the **** does it mean?! :lol:

I've been listening to MAYH to death lately...I think I finally "got" it as others have. It really is an amazing album.

These all seem to make sense to me...

I just looked up perplexion on dictionary.com and its not even a word.

"The portrait of the jaded dawn who had seen it all before"

Huh? I think a lot of them are semi-meaningful, but have embellishments just to make them sound cooler.

Did anyone else notice that Opeth borrow a lot of lines from other bands that influence them? For example I noticed that the opening line of When, "Red sun rising" is most likely taken from the opening lyric of Black Sabbath's "Warning", which has the same exact line. Also on April Ethereal, "Something passed by and I went into a dream" reminded me a lot of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life", where Paul sings "Someone spoke and I went into a dream." I heard Mikael's a big fan of that song so maybe

Trying to interperet early Opeth could be difficult. Mikael said himself as he was introducing "Under The Weeping Moon," "This is from our first album. The lyrics are very profound... about nothing."

You should feel honored.

[QUOTE=UpperDecker]I just looked up perplexion on dictionary.com and its not even a word.[/QUOTE]
Yes it is. It comes from the word "preplex" or "perplexing", which basically means "confusion".

I just got the Breeding Death EP from Bloodbath! This is ripping good stuff! :D

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Yes it is. It comes from the word "preplex" or "perplexing", which basically means "confusion".[/QUOTE]

Ok well why doesn't dictionary.com have it? I mean i believe you but its just odd that its not on the site.

John :p

i thought the word perplexion meant some sort of Facial thing....

/checks

You mean complexion.

[QUOTE=UpperDecker]Ok well why doesn't dictionary.com have it? I mean i believe you but its just odd that its not on the site.[/QUOTE]
That's because you were searching for a specific form of the word. try searching fr just "perplex" and you'll find it.

You're thinking of [U]com[/U]plexion. :)

oh heh heh.:)

[QUOTE=Cardboard Headgear]John :p[/QUOTE]

Nah, I'm 100 percent sure it's Paul. It's during his part:
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
made my way downstairs and drank a cup
......
had a smoke and somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Yes, yes....I (thought) we all knew what perplexion is...but why is he searching his way for it? And why, in the gleam of her eye, did she know? What?! :confused:

Dude, you didn't know? You have to buy the Still Life LP (Vinyl) and play it backwards to understand the true meaning of the concept displayed on that album. duh! everyone knows that :p

BUT I DON'T HAVE A RECORD PLAYER!!

Now how will I ever hear the Satanic concept?
