[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Maybe because of the band photos on the album art?[/QUOTE]

Right.As the person before me said, the album art has a role in creating these mental visuals.

[QUOTE=Shadius]Nothing. It's just not the 2nd Opeth album you should get, at all, unless you're some kind of gothenburg fanatic or something then maybe i'd recommend it first.

I still don't "Get" Orchid and half of Morningrise, it's actually totally lacking in any form of energy for me. I hardly get anything out of the music, which is totally weird considering I love gothenburg metal (In Flames and Dark Tranquility).

Hearse onwards Opeth is genius though, as are the more clean segments of Moringrise.[/QUOTE]
I agree, with everything. I do love the acoustic work on Morningrise, though.

Daven 06-16-2006 03:31 PM

To Bid You Farewell is awesome.

Shadius 06-16-2006 03:36 PM

I agree.

Seriously, as much as I think their first two releases are weaker, the clean parts on Morningrise gave me full on goosebumps the first few times I listened. No other Opeth album has done it to that degree.

Daven 06-16-2006 03:37 PM

My favorite album is Morningrise.

TojesDolan 06-16-2006 04:16 PM

My favorite song of Morningrise: The night & the silent water.

That part with the arpeggiated C barre chord (I think...:confused;, you know, tthat part with the... the mellow part inbetween. <_<) is amazing.

eug008 06-16-2006 07:03 PM

Advent is an awsome song

Stormrider 06-16-2006 07:07 PM

Yes, Advent is awsome. Really fun to play aswell. I'm not quite sure which my favorite from the album would be. Probably Black Rose Immortal, but I'm not sure.

eug008 06-16-2006 07:19 PM

For me it's probably a tie between Black Rose Immortal and To Bid You Farewell

BurningSky 06-16-2006 09:28 PM

Det_Nosnip 06-16-2006 11:40 PM

MAYH- April Ethereal
Still Life- The moor (the ultimate metal song)
Blackwater Park- Blackwater Park
Damnation- Hope leaves
Deliverance- A fair judgement

keep in mind, i listen to all the albums as a whole and love them all so picking a song is just falacious because tommorow i could replace any with another.

ghettoeddo 06-17-2006 01:59 AM

"falacious"
is that a real word?
it looks like it should be something else.
haha totally unrelated i know but im a spelling freak ><

A fallacy is an argument based on an incorrect fact or incorrect reasoning. For example, a story in court might be based on evidence which is invalid.

Fallacious is the adjective of the word. The meaning has changed a bit over time, and it can be used more generally.

ghettoeddo 06-17-2006 02:41 AM

mmm knew the noun, but not the adjective form.
hokay thanks :]

=-fukifiknow-= 06-17-2006 02:55 AM

^thanks for clearing it up rhcp_pman.

rofl ghettoeddo your probably thinking "fallatio"... i think we all know what that means <.< >.>

ghettoeddo 06-17-2006 03:01 AM

no i wasnt even thinking that.
i kept thinking...fallacy. or facetious.

I can't order now, I just hope it's still there in say...2 months ?

I think I'de get the orginal...but is the quality of it horrible or something ?

Nostalgia 06-17-2006 02:40 PM

Cana anyone send me Morningrise? I can't put CDs on my ipod anymore, for some odd reason. So if anyone could send me this album, it'd be great! Thanks a lot.

[QUOTE=SilentScream]Cana anyone send me Morningrise? I can't put CDs on my ipod anymore, for some odd reason. So if anyone could send me this album, it'd be great! Thanks a lot.[/QUOTE]

If you can it'd be really great.

Thor 06-17-2006 06:11 PM

Morningrise is pure, unadulterated awesomeness.

i am the robots 06-17-2006 07:36 PM

As I've said time and time again.

Thor 06-17-2006 08:01 PM

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]As I've said time and time again.[/QUOTE]
Well that's certainly not a bad thing. It's a pretty impressive album and it's basically what Orchid was capable of.

Nostalgia 06-17-2006 08:05 PM

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan]Sure, AIM or tell me what medium you'd prefer. :)[/QUOTE]
Ahh, when you Im'd me, I was gone. :( If you're available now, can you please send it to me? Thanks.

Thor: where'd you get the big av?

Thor 06-17-2006 08:07 PM
