[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Best part of Face of Melinda is from where Distortion starts to the end imo.[/QUOTE]
That part is rather awesome, but I just think it takes way too long to get to that part. Face of Melinda is the only song on that album that I skip.

opeth inspired my entire musical career...favorite song is either a fair judgement or white cluster

When I really feel like listening to the album, I don't skip a song. Just me though :p Unless something liek not having time or something....then obvuioulsy I won't listen to the whole thing.

A Fair Judgement's solos = sex.

I usually don't listen to that album all of the way through, for some unknown reason. I think I might go back and do that soon.

Damn, quoted before ninja edit.

:p

I really like A Fair Judgement. It seems that most people in here dislike it, but I think it's a great song especially for Deliverance. It fits well and balances out the album IMO.

[QUOTE=Txus]I don't have AIM, give me your Email and I'll send you something.

Agalloch >> Opeth any time [/QUOTE]

wooohooo, i'm really excited ive been dying to hear a band that can match opeth.

i loooovveee a fair judgement, the lyrical content is incredible...

when he sings " a fair judgement deserrrrvveeedd" i get shivers every time.

[QUOTE=Thor]Yeah, pretty true...although he was never really [I]fat[/I].

I hope they make another DVD because I'd love to hear them play older songs, especially stuff off of Still Life and Morningrise.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I posted before they're making a special Edition of GR, with extra stuff and a cover, but indeed another DVD with similar quality as Lamentations would be kick-a[size=2]s[/size]s.

I don't know about how good Roadrunner Records is at the DVD production and so...

Okies, I picked up Ghost Reveries yesterday (even cheaper than I said - 4 quid!) and I am immediately loving 'The Baying Of The Hounds' - great track.

Takes a few listens really for me to really get into anything new by bands like Opeth because nothing strikes me straight-away. After 3/4 listens, the subtlties really stick out :D.

Agalloch is pretty damn awesome but I don't think they can really touch Opeth.

I'm not saying reviews are anything to go by, but on Metal Archives, Pale Folklore has 10 reviews and the average is 99% :).

But soon enough when Agalloch becomes more popular, the metal elitists will jump on and give it ratings of 5% and that average will be lowered. These are the same elitists who have rated Blackwater Park 5% and 3% :rolleyes:.

I've gotten kinda bored of Opeth. I'm not sure why. I don't want to be either.

I still love Blackwater Park & Damnation. Bleak & Harvest are amazing

It might be good either to watch Lamentations to rekindle that Opeth fire, or just take a break :)

Some of my friends and family have commented on how seldomly (or less often than other people) I listen to my favourite bands. It's mainly because I'm always discovering new bands, and I like too many genres of music.

So it's not always bad to take a break from the bands you already like.

Same. I'm a total CoB fanboy, though I don't listen to them as much as you'd think I would.

I might get out Lamentations tomorrow night. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]I must say, hearing White Cluster played live was one of the best parts of seeing Opeth live. While I'd rather have heard Godhead's Lament, White Cluster was still awesome.[/QUOTE]


Oh for sure.White Cluster ****ing owns live.It has become one of my favourite Opeth songs after seeing it live.

[QUOTE=PeEpHoLe_10]Oh for sure.White Cluster ****ing owns live.It has become one of my favourite Opeth songs after seeing it live.[/QUOTE]



Definitely. They played it both times I've seen them, and both performances were outstanding, especially the leads. Each time everyone freaked out at around the 6 minute mark, when the heavy riff comes in. It became one of my favorite Opeth songs after seeing it live as well.

[QUOTE=Thor]Out of all of the songs I'd like to see them play live, The Moor would be my top choice. I bet most of the fans would go ****ing bananas if they played Face of Melinda, though.[/QUOTE]

They played FOM when I saw them. :)

I have seen opeth live twice and both times were amazing. Hopefully I will get to see them again someday soon.

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]They played FOM when I saw them. :)[/QUOTE]
I envy you. :upset:

I'm glad they didn't play it at mine...

I miss your old avatar, Shattered...

what does everyone think of ghost reveries?, i havent got it yet and i was wondering how everyone felt about it

[QUOTE=Flynn]I miss your old avatar, Shattered...[/QUOTE]

What do you think of my new one?

[QUOTE=Captain Quentin]what does everyone think of ghost reveries?, i havent got it yet and i was wondering how everyone felt about it[/QUOTE]
People will disagree, but it is nowhere near the quality of Blackwater Park or Still Life. It really isn't. Not memorable at all. Tolerable, and some good moments, but that is it.

I just heard Blackwater Park album, it is awesome. My favorite song from Opeth is Deliverance, the drummer of the band in which I play is trying to play it, have anyone of you guys try it?

I don't drum, but if he can pull off the end beat then he is pretty good. That beat sounds pretty challenging to me.

He gets a little confused when it gets to the acoustic part and the end can't play it, he is tired at that moment, but he have just practice it for 2 weeks.

The drummer in my band can play it. It's pretty awesome, we just bust into every once in a while. During a silence in the practice, either I or my co-guitarist will start playing the lead line of the heavy outro section, and everyone else just joins in.

That outro owns.

Dude that must be so awesome. I'm the only Opeth fan in my band so I'm the only one that knows how to play their stuff. :(

Yeah, that is one of the funnest things to play. It sounds so heavy, and so rhythmic and cool. Our drummer is pretty damn good, I mean, he's not even really an Opeth fan, but one time I started playing that Deliverance riff out of nowhere and he just joined in, playing the part perfectly. It was really exciting.
