Yeh I sorta figured that OTEP wasn't the same band as Opeth seeing as they aren't spelled the same and look/sound completely different. Wth man ?

Then why say you like them better under an Opeth thread? hun don't start with me seriously I know what you were trying to do just admit it.

[QUOTE=Flynn][B][COLOR=Pink]Don't be hatin'. Opeth fans know the importance of his concept. They are all about nature. They aren't Wiccans or anything. They have been doing this style since 1990. NINETEEN NINETY!!!!!

Opeth Deserves their own genre and people can name them whatever thay want to under a certain genre. I file them under "Opeth" genre. Cause that's what they are and tha's what they always will be.[/COLOR][/B]

right, seriously they are just making long death songs with a lot of acoustic passages in them. Death was revolutaionary, Opeth isnt.

I also just realized you said that your avatar was you, and no it isn't that is Jenna Jameson, so unless you are Jenna Jameson (which i somehow doubt you are) then that isn't you. And that sure as hell isn't 1996 Jenna Jameson

I was commenting on Opeth ! Is this not a discussion about them ? Everybody mixes them up with OTEP, so I just added it.

I have yet to find someone to confuse Opeth with Otep...Only Preps that listen to Trust Co. make that mistake.

Well I'm pretty much surrounded by "preps" so I hear that confusion often.

I'm three days late, but whatever. Yes, Opeth is pure brilliance. I'd been on a bit of a thrash binge lately and while reading through this thread I put some Opeth on. Now I'm just mellowing out, taking it all in. Yes, this band is revolutionary, yes they are unique, and they're very underappreciated(Note: not underrated). This band deserves so much more success than they have, and I know they are destined for great things. Also, to the person who spoke about Death, you're right, Chuck was a genius, and a metal god. Death and Opeth have probably had the biggest impacts upon me, and it's sad that Chuck is no longer with us. RIP

No reply? That's what I thought. Although Jenna Jameson is prettier then me, I resent this.

Wait a minute...that's you in your avatar?

From page 1: [QUOTE=Flynn]I love you :p[/QUOTE]

Im probably too late but "Melinda" was made up

They are a terrible band... B.................. O................................R..........................I ................. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......................... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

EDIT: Hot blonde women don't use the internet. Period.

If you had to place Opeth in a genre, Prog Metal, would probably be most fitting, if you are trying to describe all their albums. But they change often. Orchid and Morningrise were probably best described as Progressive Death/Black Metal, as the harmonies we find in Opeth today, weren't as distinguished and out in the open, if there at all. But you did get the atmosphere, and much more Black Metal like growls/screams. When we arrive at MAYH, we start to see alot of harmonies, and less acoustic work. This is probably more of a Death Metal album, then anyother of their works, including Deliverence. Still Life, changes upon what happened in MAYH, because we get so much more of the acoustic work, and clean singing, and the death metal is really really starting to become the way it is today. But its death sections still contain, less melody and focus more on "brutality" than melody. Were it not for Face of Melinda, Benighted, and the jazzy guitar work, this would have been their most DM album. But it probably would have been a bore, were it this way, after MAYH. And, then we get to what is usually considered their crowning achievement, Blackwater Park. This does, incorporate alot more melody than their previous work, cutting back on harmonies some and focusing on unison guitar parts, that usually interact with the bass and drumming. But some of their best harmonies are on this CD(ie The Drapery Falls). IMO it has the perfect mix. This is probably when they are hardest to define, as they mix elements of straight death metal, aswell as melodic death, but still with their own very unique sound. If you got the re-release you also got Still Day Beneath The Sun and Patterns In The Ivy 2, which are acoustic tracks, with only clean singing. It kinda chnages it, but if you have the original, you probably know what I mean about being more straight death. Deliverence, as you know is the heavy album. I think MAYH filled this role better. But I also understand that its only called that because of ****ation being recorded at the same time. Anyway, this CD is the perfect mix of death riffing and harmonies. I also think their best harmony part ever, the ending of Masters Apprentices, after the last solo(I could cum when I hear it). His voice sounds amazing when he sings

[i]"pacing roads unknown
searching for a new home
desert in my eye
barren lands inside"[/i]

Not to mention, the scream with the bend at the end of the solo. And the drumming, makes we gonna buy a set just to learn how to play it(seriously). But overall, I think this album suffers from the same scourge as their first efforts, and that is length. Masters Apprentices is the only song I don't fast forward through. I love Opeth's riffs and stuff, but they need to learn that too much of a good thing can be bad. I believe this album to almost be as good as BP, but it tends to drag, and will sometimes be a chore to listen to(espically if you can't wait for them to finish this one part and move onto your favorite part). But this album is definetly progressive melodic death. No doubt. The harmonies, melodies, and brutality are all there. And now we of course come to ****ation. The mellow album. And as of right now, one of my least liked. This album too suffers from "the drag" as did Deliverence IMO. Their songs weren't all that long, atleast not when compared to Deliverence, but still. Like for instance, the intro to Windowpane. I don't think the riff is that great, and doesn't really fit to well with the song, but it goes on for 34 seconds(maybe I'm just impatient?). After that the song is pretty good, but not a great way to open the album IMO. Just about the only song that doesn't have "the drag" is Closure, to an extent, and To Rid The Disease. This album is prog rock. Even folk at times, but just prog rock for the most part.

Man, that was suppose to be a sentence or two when I started. Anyway that's how I see it. If you disagree, go easy on the flaming, but I know how us Opeth fans are.

That's definitely not Jenna Jameson mate, although there's a likeness it's not the same girl.

If that really is Flynn she's probably the hottest poster on MX.

What makes her more hot is that she likes Death Metal...****, that is about the hottest thing in the world. NOt to mention she is drop dead gorgeous... :naughty:

AHhhhh...I can dream, can't I? :)

Sweet lots more people listen to Opeth than I thought!

I've been promoting this band to people for a long time now, they are so good.

If you like Opeth then check out this band from Finland called Kalmah, there sound is a little different, check out their song Hades, and Bird of Ill Omen.

y would any one want to hate on opeth there better musician than u would ever be soo keep ur coment to ur self.

No reply because I have a life outside of MX, and i guarantee i have seen that picture before somewhere, if it's not Jenna, it's some other Porn Star of some sort. And when i find it, i'll show you all. (ill censor any boobies that may be in it to make it MX friendly, but i KNOW i've seen that before somewhere).

life outside of Mx = porn . sweet.

I hope Lopez gets well... I mean, that part in Deliverance where he uses the double bass, at around 10 minutes... So amazing...

Back on topic and off porn, I own blackwater park and love it, I want to get some more, but am short on cash.

THough if you like opeth I would greatly suggest you buy some Spiral Architect, similiar but with a more open and hollow look on music, making it very intresting.

I hope Lopez, is still the creative force behind the drums, maybe even if he can't play some of it. He's a musical genius.

I couldnt get into Spiral Architect as much, but they are still good.

I just listened to Deliverance, the drums are ownage.

Yep ownage indeed. I DL the songs [B]Patterens In The Ivy II[/B] and [B]Still Day Beneath The Sun [/B] a couple weeks ago. I wonder why these songs weren't on any of their CD's? I wonder if they were meant to be or just some extra stuff Mikael worked on. Both Beautiful Songs.

[I]Red sun rising somewhere through the dense fog.
The portrait of the jaded dawn who had seen it all before.
This day wept on my shoulders. Still the same as yesterday.
This path seems endless, body is numb.
The soul has lost its flame.
Walking in familiar traces to find my way back home.
So there I was. Within the sobriety of the immortals. [/I]

Check out Ayreon's The Human Equation album. You'll like it.
