... It's the Opeth thread man?


And GR did NOT stand up to the other albums... there was nothing there to keep me interested. It's like the quality of all the poorer songs from their other cds put onto an album.

Agreed in the main - but Harlequin Forest would be a good track on [I]any[/I] Opeth album IMO

GR wasn't that bad...granted, it's a far cry from some of their work, but it's decent.

Opeth do set very high standards and the fans have huge expectations from them every time an album comes out - it's gotta be tough for them as anything short of unbelievably good will get panned

That's very true. Plus, after 7 albums, you'd think they'll run out of ideas sooner or later...

Ghost Reveries may have been kind of disappointing, but Ghost of Perdition > most Opeth songs through their whole career.

I personally think it is one if not the best song they have ever made.

[QUOTE=Darkness]Why would Mikael want him to repeat what Lopez did though? The latin/jazz thing is over now, and it's up to Axe to find something new to do. That's the way I see it, anyway.[/QUOTE]

It fit so well with Mikael's jazz influenced guitarplaying, though. :(

Here's a bright idea for you: don't post in the Opeth thread.

...idiot Kreator.

Apparently the people that got to talk to Axe after shows on the last tour said he didn't really know anything. They asked him about his cymbals, and just basic questions, "how are you?" He just kind of mumbled and said very little, but in a way that demonstrated that he at least understands English. It's like Mike's brainwashing him by making him learn all the songs in a hurry. :lol:

My buddy and I were talking about his frequent blasterbation. My friend acted out a scenario in which Mike was trying to show Axe a beat he had in his head:

(as Mike): Axe, play the snare
(as Axe): : put-chi put-chi put-chi :
(as Mike): No, the snare.
(as Axe): *Looks around* : put-chi put-chi put-chi :

:lol:

Indeed. I like that song a lot.

I agree, it sucks that GR is so boring.

Ghost Reveries was actually the first Opeth album I ever heard

/is probably contradicting something else he posted in these forums

GR was good enough to get me hooked on Opeth, but it doesnt compare to their other albums
