[QUOTE=Txus]IMO to bid your farewell is the best track of Morningrise i just love that song, in fact is my fav. opeth track i don't know why but is just so emotional and awesome for me i love it.[/QUOTE]

agreed fool, seriously, it owns.

[I]I am awaiting the sunrise
Gazing modestly into the coldest morning
Once it came you lyed
Embracing us over Autumn's proud treetops

/awesome 70's-progressive style solo

I stand motionless
In the parade of falling rain
Your face I cannot see
As I am falling again[/I]

those two verses just completely own

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]A few more posts up :lol:.

We discussed last page. I think it's weak for Opeth standards.[/QUOTE]

It's definately not, it's just a bit weird, a it different I must say, the solo owned though.

**** I am off the ball tonight.

As good as it is, I still don't think those two verses match the beauty of:

Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my loneliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious

Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd

I have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hidden inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
Black rose immortal

have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hidden inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish

Easily favorite death vocals of any song. And probably those first two TBYF verses for clean :)

I really wish I hadn't dowloaded that ripped song. I'm patient. I should have just waited for the actual album.

lol, I love all Opeth lyrics.... so good.

i like the guitar work better.

Mikael's acoustic guitar work is brilliant.. I always love his acoustic peices in Opeth songs.

But how would you have felt with us all talking about it and what-not?

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]But how would you have felt with us all talking about it and what-not?[/QUOTE]

Exactly its well too tempting.

I don't feel bad, it's no worse than seeing a video before a CD comes out. It's a taste of the album, and as long as your buying it, who cares?

Im gonna buy it but even though I havnt listend to the song I have some doubts.

I didn't have MAYH and Still Life until halfway through this thread. I liked to hear comments because as you all know, no words can describe the music.

My anticipation would have built up into the orgasmic release of CD time.

:D

I STILL don't have MAYH or Still Life.

I ordered Still Life about 3 months ago, but they can't get it in stock, and then I ordered MAYH at centurymedia.com, and they were out of stock :-/.

Not cool.

The new song is finally growing on me!!...I'M LOVING IT!

Can't believe you guys actually downloaded the song. I'm definetly waiting. And the fact that I've read what everyone has said about it makes no difference, Opeth's music is very subjective. For example I love ****ation, but from reading this thread one would think it was a weak album. Same goes for Orchid, I got the impression that everyone is in awe of thsi album while im not a big fan.

Can't wait for the new album. The cover is of the four band members not the candles, yeah?

Feck waiting, I'm happy with the new song, it's just made my craving more ravenous.

I found MAYH at a Virgins Record store in Chicago. That place made me [I]very[/I] happy.

Sam Goody, the awesome store that everyone loves, could order me any Opeth CD I wanted EXCEPT Still Life... haven't gone back since. I luckily found a very small music store that will order anything and sell it for only a little over internet prices.

:upset:

I should have waited.

Dude, there is nothing wrong with downloading it. What's the problem?

People like to wait for CD's and be surprised, it's kinda weird, but it's understandable.

I'll still be suprised, I guarantee it.

Yeah, lol, I just cannot wait for Ghost Reveries, the title still makes me laugh, lol.

I like the title all right.

I thought the title was a bit funny at first.. but then I saw the awesome cover and it changed my mind.

I want my first impression of the new CD to be a low quality rip? Even if it was high quality, I still would regret* downloading it. I want the whole piece pie to eat at once, not just a taste of the apples. In this case the apple was a bit moldy :-\

That probably made about as much sense as when I posted about the GnR dieing cat thing. Best logic ever if anyone recalls it.

:)


I don't have a problem with downloading music or seeing if I like something, but in Opeth's case I know I want to buy anything they release so downloading a song from an album I don't have will ruin the first listening experience.



edit:

* not really regret, but I would prefer to have not downloaded

I like sampling, cause if a weak sample wows me, imagine the actual thing....

I bought Orchid today. All I can say is that I got shivers down my spine at certain points of the songs. Awesome album.


BTW: Why do some of you guys dislike the name of their new album?

I walked into a bookstore one day looking for an Arcturus CD that I wanted, and they had it so I started to leave, when I saw Opeth Still Life. So I grabbed it instead.

Long story short, I have Opeth Still Life and you don't :p

I'm a huge Opeth fan, but I only have Blackwater Park and Morningrise. Both awesome albums.

I have all Opeth CDs, and my current favorites are MA,YH and BWP. Both amazing albums.

:amaze:

You didn't get both? Which Arcturus cd was it?

You know you can order Still Life AND MAYH off amazon.. cheap too.. that's where I got mine.

[QUOTE=Lateralias]You know you can order Still Life AND MAYH off amazon.. cheap too.. that's where I got mine.[/QUOTE]

Same here, SL was $4.50 and MAYH was about $3.25...great deal, they were used, but they looked and sounded perfect.

I don't have an account on Amazon, but I should probably sign up.

I've found another place to order Still Life, so now it's just MAYH.

I like Opeth's guitar parts and the clean singing is good, but the growling kind of gets on my nerves. However I got used to In Flames vocals so that's not such a big deal. The main thing that puts me off them is the way their songs drag on. They don't really have that much variety in their sound from what I've heard of them, and their songs seem to stretch on forever when they could be 6 or 7 minutes-and instead they're 12 or 13. Do they have any songs of a more moderate length?

Hey guys. I just picked up [I]Blackwater Park[/I] yesterday, and so far, it's amazing. I'm listening to Dirge for November. The intro is so beautiful. I'm sure you guys have heard it all before, but every member is so talented. I have a few questions though.

Does Mikael do the solos or Peter Lindgren, or do they sort of split the duty?

and also, how are the covers coming along?

Jude- Sweet user title. :cool: I love that song.

The split the solos, but Mike does most.

I bought my copy of Still Life at an indie record store in town. :p *shakes*

If you don't have D*mnation, get it. It's soft guitar parts and clean singing the whole way. The songs are also around 5 minutes. Some more, some less.

I would also download To Bid you farewell. It has several different acoustic guitar parts and then some very nice metal riffs. Also, there's only clean singing again. 10+ minutes

A Fair Judgement is another song I recommend. The begining does start off pretty slow, but around 4 minutes on, it is one of my favorite songs. It has two solos, the second of which.... undescribebly awesome. Again, thew whole song is clean vocals. 10+ minutes

Those two songs were my first Opeth songs I heard. I'd give em a chance if you haven't

[QUOTE=Taste_My_Scythe]I'm a huge Opeth fan, but I only have Blackwater Park and Morningrise. Both awesome albums.[/QUOTE]

Well I thibk you have the best ones. But you should try to get Deliverance. I find the album very soothing.
