seriously though, I hope my ban ends soon, my small post count makes me think of my similar *****.

Wow. I picked up Opeth's [I]Blackwater Park[/I] yesterday, and I'm currently listening to it for the fourth time. The growling has grown on me a lot faster than I thought it would. I'm listening to TheLeper Affinity right now, and I gotta say that the mix of Mikael's clean vocals and his growling is quite supreme as I expected. So far, my favorite moments of the album are the intro to Dirge for November(the acoustic part) and when Mikael does that echoed grunt at the beginning of Blackwater Park. Both are extremely cool. As far as my least favorite part, I'd have to say that I'm really not impressed with the riffs implemented by Mikael and Peter. They're good parts and all, but the riffs are nothing too memorable. I'm digging the solos too. They're aren't too over-the-top shred solos, but they suit the songs well.

Any other opinions?

is a good album, a little bit overrated imo.

I love their riffs, they drone on a bit too long, but they're really good, best songs on the CD (bonus tracks included):

The Drapery Falls
Patterns In The Ivy, Pt. II
Still Day Beneath The Sun

I am listening to Black Rose Immortal right now.

Opeth are amazing, I don't care what anybody says. They have a good balance of heavy and light.

That's my second favorite Opeth album, Orchid being the first.

Shattered Future uploaded some new material from Opeth in the YSI thread. He says it's authentic and ripped from satellite radio.

I still can't stand Opeth...I find them tragically overrated too heh.

The growling is a real annoyance, but the music has never done much for me either...though I find myself in the minority there.

hmk- Man, you sure did get the short straw when The Hatecrew was handing out positions. :lol:

Eleventeen- I've not even listened to the bonus disc yet! I'll check out disc 2 when I get home from work tomorrow.

Chris- 123 to the balance. They have some of the most sexy acoustic guitar parts I've heard. Again, I'm extremely surprised how unoffended I am by his growls. Yesterday, I was dissapointed that he didn't do more clean vocals, but like I said, they've grown on me like a bad case of Guero. (You better get the guero joke)

The new Opeth material that I've heard (The Grand Conjuration) was amazing.

They are the first band that I listened to with growling.

At first, I liked the music and hated the growling.
Then I started tolerating the growling.
Now I absolutely love it.

I am starting to get that way as well.

I am started to see awhile ago that their music is pretty boring and that they could cut off a big chunk of their songs to make it drag on less and less.

I do like their acoustic songs though for when I am in a mood for softer music, but other then that their music is pretty boring imo.

You're the first person I've spoken with who also has the bonus disk, trust me, it was worth the money.

I'm getting into metal quite a bit, lately. I just like trying new genres, and right now I am dabbling with some extreme metal.

One thing I have not heard is their acoustic stuff...but I kinda like being the official Opeth hater, so no reason to right? :p

(Really I have enough acoustic music for myself, probably too much as is already)

[/QUOTE]

everybody choose their position,so i choose staff, you now something simple.
actually i was gonna put homer, 'cause everybody was posting their position and one episode of the simpsons came to my mind, when in krusty's clown school everybody said the name of their hometown and homer said his name.

the DoubleDisc was the only thing they had yesterday at Borders, so I had to splurge a bit(19.99!!!). Actaully, my mom got it for me. She was in a good mood or something. :lol:

And as for The Drapery Falls being your favorite song on the album, I'm digging it as well, but I don't like how it transitions from Harvest into TDF. I really dislike the acoustic tone on TDF, whereas Harvest is fairly pristine. The strings on The Drapery Falls sound too similair to the strings on my acoustic. Kind of too thick, cheap and nylon. (Nylon>steel btw)

I like a lot of other genres, but I'm too distracted by my metal obsession and don't go into as many genres as I should, such as blues and classical. I really like those too, but haven't looked to far into them.

I don't care how you critcize TDF, it's still my favorite song (not just on the album, ever).

I also agree, nylon > steel.

I'm the same way man

I've found my self becoming more acute in my musical tastes as of late. :-/ I don't listen to blues, jazz, classical, or much metal. Mostly, I just listen to prog.

Meh, hopefully my New Orleans trip shall inspire me to expand my music tastes. Hopefully I will also get some more guitar playing inpsiration from it.

11teen-It's the only flaw I've found, and it's not even really part of the actual song. :p

I listen to pretty much anything. You guys probably know this by now :p

I'm a very open-minded person, musically.

I'm open-minded, but like I said before, I'm too much of a metalhead.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I'm a very open-minded person, sexually.[/QUOTE]

I'd say that the only genre I don't listen to consistently is classical. While I like some of it, it's a really tough mood transition.

It's in the background on purpose, it's meant to create atmosphere, much like the keyboards in Underoath.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I'm a very open-minded person, musically.[/QUOTE]

I'm open minded genre wise but I find it hard to find good music. The top 0.5% of blues, jazz, hip hop, hardcore or whatever are usually really good but the rest is a steaming pile of crap. Too many musos in the game to earn respect or admiration and the fame and fortune and if that's the motivation the music always lacks the fire which is the main ingredient of good tunes.

Music for money isn't always a bad thing, listen to Grey Daze, Chester Bennington wrote those songs to stay alive, he was fecking homeless living in his car.

Dr. Jake, New Orleans is nothing special. I live fairly close.

It might be that you don't find it special because it's specialness wore off on you.

NP: Some Dissection song. I suggest you get into some Dissection as well, ATM.

Right now I'm stocking up on metal from the YSI thread. Cannibal Corpse, CoB, Slayer, etc.

My new avatar is intense.

[QUOTE=ICB]NP: Some Dissection song. I suggest you get into some Dissection as well, ATM.[/QUOTE]

yeah, dissection is good, but how about something more extreme like some grindcore:

Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer and Anal Cunt are good.

Random post?

Have any of you watch late night shows?
Conan O'Brian Rules

So, its 7:55 AM and i had to wake up because my Dad now see's me as free labour because i don't go to school for a few months.

This sucks, im going back to bed, my brother can get himself to school.

1). Eh, that's some starter's grindcore. Good stuff, though. Pungent Stench, perhaps? Nasum? The Meat Sh[size=2]i[/size]ts? Cattle Decapitation?

2). Yeah.

3). Yes, Conan O'Brian is quite the secks.

NP: Lynyrd Skynyrd- Tuesday's Gone

/looks around for calendar/clock...

It's Thursday, huh?

In other news, i ended up not going back to sleep yet. Im eating some wheatabix.

Yesterday, i forced my indie cousin to buy Kreator : Enemy Of God. He wasn't dissapointed.
