Same. I mean, they're great and all, and flow with the music very well most of the time, but sometimes you can tell Mike just strings some cool-sounding phrases together. Many more of his lyrics are very meaningful though.

Finally I've managed to listen to Blackwater park just to see what the hype was all about and DAAAAMMMMMN!!!!

This has to be one of the best Cd's i've ever listened to. Stand out tracks for me are the title track and the drapery falls.

Plus, I'm going to go see them live on Sunday. I cannot wait.

They're a fun show. You'll probably have a blast.

They sure are. I would know since I've seen em twice. :cool:

Same. In two weeks it'll be three.

Seeing them in November - should be a Dirge (bad pun, sorry). What do you guys think of the support act Paradise Lost, I havent listened to them so Id be interested in your opinion.

Paradise Lost own.

They've been around since 1988 and basically invented doom/goth metal.

I love them. Saw them last year support Nightwish at The Apollo and I'm really glad they'll be supporting Opeth at The Roundhouse (I'm going too)

Nick Holmes and Mikael get on like a house on fire - Mike thinks Nick's the funniest man alive and they've supported Opeth before.
If you post your email I'll send you a couple of their tracks as a sampler if you want.
I = huge PL fanboy. :)

Opeth's Gigantour setlist, as confirmed by Dave Mustaine:

Ghost of Perdition
Godhead's Lament
Windowpane
Deliverance
Leper Affinity


Oh hell yes :) :)

Wow, the interlude in the middle of Harlequin Forest is sex for the ears. I've just started listening to Ghost Reveries again, for the first time since it was released. Its a great album, that although it doesn't measure up to Opeth's best ones, is good in is own right.

No real suprises there. Cept maybe Godhead's Lament.

Godhead's Lament is a pretty sweet surprise. I'd love to see that live.

That is a pretty godly setlist as far as I'm concerned. I'd kill to see Opeth live, but I can't afford to see them in November.

I'd really like to see Ghost of Perdition.

Considering it's a festival, it's an awesome setlist.

I got my tickets an hour ago. Floor tickets!!! $60.00 is kinda expensive.

Thanx for offering, but Ill just DL the tracks. Could you give me song recommendations? Are PL more My Dying Bride or Candlemass style Doom?

OK, Ive just beeen on PL's Myspace and had a listen. I wasnt too keen on what I heard, but from what I read on the site Im assuming these were songs from their recent albums and not their older stuff, which it says was more metal than their new material.

Yeah the early stuff is vastly superior - they went a bit soft from 97-02 and the last album was ok, but still watered down a bit.

My fave tracks (in no particular order)
Pity The Sadness
Remembrance
Hallowed Land
As I Die
Widow
Shadowkings
Once Solemn
Embers Fire
Seriously, if you'd like a couple of them I'll send them to you - it'll only take a few mins.

/CAN'T WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER 30TH ANY LONGER! :mad:

Sunday for me!!!!

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Alright then...

wtf?[/QUOTE]

That's exactly the reaction I have to alot of Opeth's lyrics. :lol: Don't get me wrong, alot are also great, but at times there's definitely a "wtf" value.

[/quote] Wow. That's awesome! Can't wait until the 22nd for me.

Man, favorite songs from Damnation and Still Life, and the other 3 rank in my top Opeth songs as well.

The setlist owns! Unfortunately, Gigantour is coming nowhere near me this year. :(

Fu[I]cking[/I] awesome Setlist! Ghost of Pertition is the perfect song.

Man just listened [I]Still Life[/I] for the first time in awhile and its one hell of an album damn!

Wtf? I can only hear one bass drum.

It sounds like one of Martin's triggers was misfiring.
