And that's very disappointing for me.

You're very disappointing to me.

Captain Quentin 10-23-2006 03:44 AM

i don't know why you guys don't like GR much, its definatley a high quality album and i feel its up there with the best opeth material...

Eliminator 10-23-2006 04:53 AM

Except that's it not.

Captain Quentin 10-23-2006 05:13 AM

ill rephrase that, i meant that GR is an awesome album, but opeth has written better stuff, so i don't know why everyone always writes it off.

Eliminator 10-23-2006 05:17 AM

Oh okay.

It's a good album, but it gets kind of boring.

GR kicks most other album's asses, but when compared to great albums like BWP, Deliverance, and Still Life, it just can't compete.

TojesDolan 10-23-2006 01:08 PM

The soft songs are somewhat interesting.

They need more of the BWP soft songs feel, though.

Neoteric 10-23-2006 02:18 PM

I'm listening to Damnation right now, it's so good :)

Or Still Life. Right now I can't get enough of Benighted.

But still, Harvest is a killer track, as well as the Deluxe Edition songs.

Tyr 10-23-2006 02:22 PM

You know that [I]Face of Melinda[/I] it's where it's at.

Thor 10-23-2006 02:25 PM

I'm really weird and think that Face of Melinda is the weakest song on the album. :amaze:

Tyr 10-23-2006 02:29 PM

That is an outright lie! But I'm not sure which song I think is the weakest. Probably [I]Moonlapse Vertigo[/I] or [I]White Cluster[/I]. Don't get me wrong, they are still fantastic, just not as good as the rest of the songs.

Eliminator 10-23-2006 02:30 PM

weakest song is either godhead's lament or serenity painted death

TojesDolan 10-23-2006 02:30 PM

[QUOTE=Thor;13494464]I'm really weird and think that Face of Melinda is the weakest song on the album. :amaze:[/QUOTE]
My thoughts exactly.

As in, the weakest song.

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan;13487031]My Arms, Your Hearse is a grower, you need to listen to it a lot in order to get the beauty it conveys.[/QUOTE]

Nah. As a whole maybe, but April, Amen Corner, Demon of the Fall, When and Credence are all acessible songs. I loved them the first time I heard them.

I agree with Orchid though. It took me a while to get into Forest of October and Under the Weeping Moon.

Deliverance is not as good as GR. And that is saying a lot since I don't like GR much.

[QUOTE=Thor;13494464]I'm really weird and think that Face of Melinda is the weakest song on the album. :amaze:[/QUOTE]

Serenity Painted Death is.

Tyr 10-23-2006 02:34 PM

[I]Serenity Painted Death[/I] is the best song on [I]Still Life[/I].

Thor 10-23-2006 02:35 PM

Best = The Moor or Benighted, can't decide

beso negro 10-23-2006 02:41 PM

I liked Serenity Painted Death the first couple times I heard it, but I got quickly tired of it.

I still like the little solo in the first minute. It makes no melodic sense, but it sounds good.

TojesDolan 10-23-2006 02:47 PM

The best is Moonlapse Vertigo.

*stirs up discussion finally*

132WalrusesInMexico 10-23-2006 02:51 PM

I need to get Still Life, but none of the freaking CD stores near me carry it.

Stoo 10-23-2006 03:04 PM

[QUOTE=Hope Eternal;13494515][I]Serenity Painted Death[/I] is the best song on [I]Still Life[/I].[/QUOTE]


I believe it is :cool:

Neoteric 10-23-2006 03:05 PM

Okay, no one is going to agree on weakest track on the album >____<

Wherebouts you from?

Det_Nosnip 10-23-2006 03:12 PM

Yeah, I don't think I could pick a 'weakest' or 'strongest' on SL. "Godhead's" is probably my favorite, but the things that I like about it are obviously different from the things that I like about Benighted or FOM...or even the Moor.

Apocalypticon 10-23-2006 03:12 PM

Best song on Still Life is The Moor easily. The weakest is White Cluster.

132WalrusesInMexico 10-23-2006 03:14 PM

Can someone send me Still Life over MSN?

Apocalypticon 10-23-2006 03:16 PM

I can send you a link for it via email

132WalrusesInMexico 10-23-2006 03:17 PM

Okay, my email is [email]arboles4402@hotmail.com[/email]
Thanks.

beso negro 10-23-2006 03:18 PM

I could give it over AIM. It would take a good 3 hours though. :p

Never go to college, they have terrible internetz

TojesDolan 10-23-2006 03:19 PM

Mine is great internets.

Dibs on sending it.

Shattered_Future 10-23-2006 03:20 PM

I can't stand Face Of Melinda.

That's a GREAT reason not to go to college! :p

Shattered_Future 10-23-2006 03:35 PM

There's that, and there's also the monetary factor involved.

Ted, who's in your avatar? Looks seexxaay.

GL and The Moor are my favorites, and Moonlapse Vertigo is probably my least favorite.

Ok, I'll rank the entire album in terms of what I like the most.

1. The Moor
2. Benighted
3. Godhead's Lament
4. Serenity Painted Death
5. White Cluster
6. Moonlapse Vertigo
7. Face of Melinda

I like them all, however. But The Moor takes the cake. Gotta love that intro and opening heavy riff.

pate 10-23-2006 04:20 PM

Ranking them is tough...it's tied for my favorite Opeth album.

Thor 10-23-2006 04:21 PM

Nah, this is their third best. BWP and Deliverance are better IMO.
