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?

Darkness 03-19-2006 12:01 AM

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.

Darkness 03-19-2006 12:06 AM

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.

UpperDecker 03-19-2006 12:14 AM

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

Killtacular 03-19-2006 02:17 AM

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

If you like Still Day Beneath The Sun, you will definitely like Patterns In The Ivy II, and yes it's way better then Part I...IMO.

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

Neoteric 03-19-2006 01:07 PM

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

Darkness 03-19-2006 01:09 PM

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

Still Life > Blackwater Park

Forever and always.

vashts80 03-19-2006 01:57 PM

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

Nah, BWP drags on like crazy, the only part on SL that could stand to be any shorter is the intro of The Moor.

vashts80 03-19-2006 02:08 PM

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.

ok lateralus 03-19-2006 02:32 PM

Still Life > BWP

But sometimes I doubt it

TojesDolan 03-19-2006 02:41 PM

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.

ok lateralus 03-19-2006 02:47 PM

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.

NymphetamineX 03-19-2006 03:30 PM

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.

TojesDolan 03-19-2006 03:45 PM

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.

JamJar 03-19-2006 03:45 PM

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.
