[QUOTE=the2stranger;13403886]And it doesn''t have Wilson on production. :'([/QUOTE]

That doesn't matter much though, seeing as the production is still amazing..

Rest is a priority, indeed.

Nonetheless I think the break between MAYH and Still Life was like a year or so.

Why are they only playing TGC from Ghost Reveries? It's easily the worst song on the whole album. I'll admit, live it kicked as[size=2]s[/size], but I'd still like to hear one of the better songs in place of it when they're playing a short set.

Thhe production is good, but it doesn't have that characteristic SW sound. I'm just a sucker for his production sound.

But I do admitt, they had to try something else, as much as I like SW, you can't always be with the same producer. You need to try out new things too.

umm what makes the productio amazing on GR?

it's kidna dry and bland

I was a little vexed because all the other shows I saw opened with Ghost of Perdition, and I was ready for the keyboard part, but they went into that instead.

It's a lot more raw than BWP and D&D, nonetheless it's sounds stiff.

[QUOTE=the2stranger;13403931]You need to try out new things too.[/QUOTE]
I couldn't agree more. the fact that they changed from Steve Wilson shows that they aren't just trying to make another MAYH. The producing on Ghost Reveries was actually well done, and although different from Steve's it was still comparable.

BWP has my favorite Opeth production. :)
I love it.

Exactly. :)

it fits them the best

I don't think it's dry and bland at all..
I actually think the production is extremely crisp and clear

Probably [I]too[/I] crisp and clear.

They need a darker kind of production. Which is unlikely since they have money now to make their recordings sound "clean".

If you want less crisp and clear, Wilson wouldn't have been the right choice either though...
I know what you mean though, I wouldn't mind it if Opeth released a new album with.. .. "metal" production

i wnat to hear opeth record an album with a children's choir

Still Life production is nifty.

You guys are kinda funny. Opeth doesn't need to do anything except make more music. I'm pretty much happy with everything.

They do seem kinda tired on tour though.

Yeah.. I think Åkerfeldt should take like, half a year off or something like that, he seems like he's kind of a workaholic

Maybe he just needs to get laid.

ala "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2"? Excellent.

They really do need to stop playing shows for a while once Gigantour finishes up. I crave new Opeth songs. Now.

It doesn't sound like they're mixing up the setlist much for Gigantour... I'd be bored after playing the same set over and over again as well.

Then again, Tojes could be correct.

[QUOTE=Thor;13403527]Hope no one in here is in South America. They just cancelled all of their dates there.[/QUOTE]

Well, After Forever is doing like their 4th tour there, so my sympathy is lost on the South Americans. :upset: Not to mention the "Loud and Louder" fests are consistently amazing...

After Forever was near my location a few months ago, so good times.

Anyway, they cancelled the tour since like, July. :(

I was so sad.

Well, BWP and Deliverance were pretty dark...nice balance production-wise.

BWP = my fave production.

I really like the production on GR the most. Major labels are really nice for that. :)

Too bad it's their weakest album.

Blackwater Park has the best production.

Everything sounds gigantic in Blackwood Park.

The tones of the instruments on GR are great, except the keyboards, which I thought were thin. Steven Wilson creates very lush sounds with his keys, one of my favorite things about his projects...

Kinda like on MAYH? The production on that is awesome, except the drums are pretty low in the mix. It dirty, heavy, but not muddy. The part where Prologue goes into April Ethereal is just gorgeously raw. :smoke:

To me, everything post-Still Life sounds perfect.
