[QUOTE=VomitStainedCretin]This is definitely true, each time you listen to an Opeth song, youll make some new amazing guitar or lyrical line and learn to appreciate the song in new ways. Id prefer if they kept with longer songs because of this - also shorter Opeth songs dont have the epicness, atmosphere and feeling that length allows to build up.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

Ghost Reveries is a good album to listen to in my opinion. I don't seem why everyone seems to be putting it down. There's only one song I don't really like that much and it's "Atonement". It is just the same thing over and over on it. It's a good song to listen to while your thinking of something else though.

I listened to "Temple Of Love (92 remix)" the other day, and it's only just over 8 mins long but seemed to last [I]forever[/I]! That's the difference between Opeth and lesser bands[/QUOTE]
Temple of Love (92 remix) is ****ing awesome though. Sisters of Mercy ftw.

Which reminds me, I have their 3 studio albums but that song isn't on any of them...I'll be getting an mp3 player in a few days so I'll put it on there.

[QUOTE=Crysiss]When did u get into music? First music I listened to was Metallica lol and Collective Soul.

I think I was about 8 or so.[/QUOTE]
When did I get into music? Music in general, or just Metal?

Anyways, I've been listening to music since I was brought home from the hospital. I remember listening to The Doors when I was 4.

Music has had a huge impact on my life. I honestly don't know what I would do without it.

I got into metal late last year.

The song [I]is[/I] good, and I like an awful lot of Sisters Of Mercy stuff, but it does go on
and on

and on. I think it'd be a better track at 5 mins not 8, 'tis all

Why is Opeth so damn good?

I guess. It stop at about 5 minutes and then basically repeats all the parts from the first section but in a different order :lol: Coolass riffs though.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Why is Opeth so damn good?[/QUOTE]

Cause they're Swedish.

I've heard plenty of Swedish crap in my time.

I've seen a lot of hot swedish girls, does that count? :p

All Swedes are like gods among men!

/is Swedish and can think of lots of exceptions to that statement.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]I've heard plenty of Swedish crap in my time.[/QUOTE]

no, you just think you have.

wait... marduk :upset:

Don't even get me started in Marduk, they suck balls live.

Jocke Gotborg was in the band for a short period of time... they sucked dramatically less then.... but even he couldn't make them not suck balls.

Why is Opeth so damn mediocre, thats my question?

I dunno, they have their moments, but id take Tool over Opeth anyday.

They're 2 different bands though.

Who are you comparing Opeth too? I cant think of any bands that they are copying, and the bands that have "copied" them are not even that much like them.

They're actually not mediocre, it all depends on what kind of taste (or lack thereof) you have.

Neither Opeth or Tool are mediocre, you need to use your ears to distinguish between mediocre and non mediocre bands. For Example In metal mediocre would be bands such as, Killswitch Enagage or Triviums Ascendancy where lots of riffs are repeated.

I really don't understand the point of going into a thread on a certain band and then bashing said band.

That's a really, really good way to get attention.

And Opeth doesn't repeat riffs? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Opeth fanboy but their strength is dynamics.

Oh and I like KSE.

[QUOTE=Darkness]That's a really, really good way to get attention.[/QUOTE]

True, but a really lame way.

Opeth doesn't repeat riffs THAT often Moses... there are some repetitive rhythms though.

Well, I think the riffs are repeated for way too long sometimes. Even in some of my favorite songs of theirs one riff can be repeated anywhere from 16 to 64 times. It's not always a bad thing though.

Oh sorry I misunderstood, I was talking about throughout different songs. I agree with you there... a few riffs drag on a bit much.

When did you get a name change?

This just in:

Opeth rawks.

I've just sarted kind of liking Opeth but not when they do that annoying style of screaming, any song/album suggestions? (PS. I dont mind a little of the screaming I just prefer when they sing or whatever)

Oh and I really like "The Drapery Falls"
