People say GR is straying away from the 'medieval' acoustics... I personally think it's a return to them. Ghost of Perdition, The Baying of the Hounds (the instrumental acoustic bit... drool), The Grand Conjuration (how does that acoustic guitar not sound folky, evil and medieval to anyone?) and Hours of Wealth have extremely medieval/folk acoustics, for me at least.

Damnation... sounds so clean, ugly and british. Not medieval at all. It's pretty good still, but if you want to complain about 'non-medieval acoustics', listen to that.

Damnation > GR

GR is just not that good.. End\

Damnation is great all the way though.... Though I think Blackwater Park is the best from Opeth...

[QUOTE=Jude]
the crap riff in the middle where he's going "whispered conjuration a belief takes form"...that's got to be the worst Opeth riff ever. [/quote] No way! That riff rules!!! Not to mention, Mikael's growls are absolutely :evil: there. I disagree completely.

That riff makes me sick. It's completely cheesy, contrived and uninteresting :confused: The main riff is really cool, but they just repeated it way too much. That song could have been about 6 minutes long and been a lot better.

The other coolest part is when the guitars drop out and there's a few soft keyboard notes and then all of a sudden this super-fast part pops out of nowhere and Mikael's going nuts with a growl over it.

I totally agree with your entire post. GR is far better than Damnation, and far more "medieval", as you say. Even The Grand Conjuration has that bit of acoustic during the verse.

I love that riff in TGC too. It's simple, but it sounds really evil to me, especially with the growling and double bass triplets.

Why should it sound medieval? I think it's fine the way it is.

[QUOTE=Flynn]Why should it sound medieval? I think it's fine the way it is.[/QUOTE]

He wasn't saying they should sound medieval

I find it hard to compare one Opeth album to another...they have a tendency to sound pretty different from the last. GR was a step in a new direction for Opeth, though; which is nice because it's better to not to so well in an area you're new to rather than release the same album over and over.

Personal favorites, especially with the diversity of Opeth, will change a lot. I must say my favorite songs by them are Windowpane, By the Pain I See In Others, and The Grand Conjuration. Each one is superb, and different from the last.

I also don't get why people go on about Opeth acoustic parts being "medieval." I mean, I do kind of get a medieval-y vibe from Opeth music, but it's not like there's anything "medieval" about the guitar style, whatsoever.

Because flamenco gives off a medieval styled folky vibe because its the most classic style of guitar playing (I think...), and for the most part, most kiddies now days think for the most part that it's a dead style and so they only hear it in things related to the dark/middle/rennaissance ages.

More Opeth dates announced.



[size=3] They come here March 8th :D [/size]

Doesn't look like they'll make another South Florida stop.

Damn.

Ah damn there going to Quebec city, and no montreal dates are anounced yet...Thats a 2 hour drive...

More to be announced, so you may be in luck. It seems like they're going to cover Kana-duh pretty well.

I hope im in luck...but i doubt they wont come in Montreal. When a band comes to Canada, they pretty much always stop by here.

Why did you change your Username ?

Except in Power Metal, Folk Metal, and even some Black Metal. I love classical guitar, it's beautiful.

I wonder if they've ever come to Tennessee? That would be sweet.

A better question is why not. It's snappier and easier to quote.

I hope they come to Las Vegas!!!

[QUOTE=Deth]A better question is why not. It's snappier and easier to quote.[/QUOTE]

Yeah i suppose. I thought of taking out the 331 in my username...and decided there was no point in doing that. I have no ides why i put them there though.

Flamenco? What are you talking about? There's no Flamenco in Opeth, I think you're thinking of something completely different...

Quoted for undeniable truth.

Sadly, I think the show near me might be at a nightclub.. I might not be able to get in. What's the age restriction regarding nightclubs?

Most likely 21, I'd invest in a fake ID if I were you.
