[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I actually think that Dirge is the weakest track on the album. It's still great, but I think the other tracks are much better.[/QUOTE]

Im not alone then

[QUOTE=Rothmans]My least favourite is bleak I just cannot get into it.[/QUOTE]


Im really not agreeing much with you tonight :p

Just to help me out guys, how much have you seen the live DVD around for? I want to avoid being ripped off on Saturday

I saw it for like $10.00 at FYE, but it was on Sale at the time.

I got it for 20 bucks Canadain...

Ah we both love Still Life and when I was in england I got it for 20 pounds.

Im hoping to pick that up, with Deliverance, and another album (probably million dead), and use my £5 off £35 purchases voucher. So £20 sounds ok.

You will probably get it for cheaper nowadays.

[QUOTE=Rothmans]My least favourite is bleak I just cannot get into it.[/QUOTE]

I e-slap you sir :angry:



but eh, whatever floats your boat i suppose, a lot of people love drapery, but i quite dislike it..............and the grnad conjuration is a big let down, Opeth is dead:( this new band is still very good, i quite like them, but Opeth is dead, it will never be what it used to be, the last 3 albums have become increasingly less complex.

I guess I can put this here...

Well, I'm gonna get another Opeth Cd but I only have enough to get one, and the only ones I don't have are MAYH and Orchid. So, any suggestions what I should get first? Thanks.

You've heard a crappy quality track from a whole album.. please don't base your decision on that track and it's quality.. You should at least wait til' you hear it all man. Opeth isn't dead.

Wee im seeing opeth in september \m/ so very exited.

Oh YEAH!?

Well I'm seeing them in 2 weeks. *shakes*

Dangit.. I have yet to see Opeth live... but even if I saw then on SotU they'd have a small set most likely.

I'm seeing them in 2 days less then a month. :P

Yeah, that's where I'm seeing them. I'm afraid of that, but then again there's this formula I've been using lately that's helped me out alot:

Short Opeth set = better than no Opeth set.

Plus, I'd love to see Strapping Young Lad.

I feel the exact way, even about Strapping Young Lad.

[QUOTE=Rothmans]Ah we both love Still Life and when I was in england I got it for 20 pounds.[/QUOTE]

HAHA! I got it for $15 American

I've been meaning to check out Strapping Young Lad... I need song recommendations badly though.

Hmm...My knowledge of the band tends to be more focused on the last 2 albums, other than what's on the DVD (which rules, btw..."For Those Aboot[Canadians] to Rock" ).
Off of the new album, "Alien," "Love?" Is a pretty awesome tune, which they actually made a video for that can be seen here:

"Devour" is a pretty popular tune among SYL fans, and it rules.

"Relentless"
[url]http://mp3.centurymedia.com/StrappingYoungLad_Relentless_SYL.mp3[/url]

"****storm" is a pretty good example of how insane the band can be...(replace **** with "sh[b][i][/b][/i]it")

So today, I downloaded a powertab for Dirge For November. I'm having slight difficulties navigating some of the chord changes, but hopefully I'll be able to throw down a recording of it for fun. I'm still trying to perfect the intro, but overall, it sounds very sexy. :cool:

NP: Bleak- The only part I don't like is the acoustic slides in the intro. I'm sure they were meant to sound discordant, but to me, they just kind of sound quirky and funny. Other than that, I find it to be a rather solid track.

The last Opeth setlist I saw went like this

The Drapery Falls
Deliverance
Demon of the Fall

30minute set.

Thats bullshiiit.....I don't go for 3 songs.

My concert was like 10-11 songs.

Dang that sucks... I might wait for a normal Opeth tour.. well at least they play DotF

Holy crap.. thanks a bunch for the Strapping Young Lad Ted (that is your name right?)

:eek: An '01er!

Was that all you went to the concert for, or what other bands played? Man, you got hosed on that deal. :-/

Opeth our part of the Sounds of the Underground tour at the moment.. the other bands really are mainly hardcore/metalcore bands it seems like. But Devildriver seems alright with me, and I think I'm alright with Strapping Young Lad so far :) .

Oh ok, now I get why they only played 3 songs. :p

I'm sure this has been asked like a million times here lately, but is there any news on their new album? It's called [I]Ghost Reveries[/I], right?

Yeah, have you heard the new song?

Oh and I think the acoustics in the intro to Bleak are the best part of the song. :p

Ohh yeah, I heard about the new song, but I haven't heard it. I saw a link to it, but it was 320 kbps, and I figured the song was long, so that combo would not be too 56k-friendly. :shrug: So is there a release date or anything yet? I assume they're close if they've already released a song.

I do like the broken chords in Bleak..

Jake it is set for September I'm pretty sure.

The song is only like 9:55, I don't know why the file size is so big. The quality sucks to.

Yeah.. kinda wish I never listened to it because of the quality.. hearing it first time in CD quality would've gave me a better impression but I like it none the less! :thumb: Remember.. they are aiming for a heavy album on this release :)

Yep, and no problem. My name's rather easy to figure out...just reverse my username! ;)

You know you're on an Opeth thread when:

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]The song is only like 9:55[/QUOTE]

Alright cool, thanks again! I'm liking Devour.

And about the song being [I]only[/I] being 9:55.. :lol:

:D you bet.

It's crappy because it was recorded from a radio, I think. :-/

I've been noticing that when I buy cd's, I'm dissapointed when they only amount to 45 minutes. I've been purchasing albums that have all been over the 60 minute mark lately. Tool albums, BWP, Renegades, and other prog stuff. Go me!

More bang for your buck :D

Meh...quality over quantity. Of course, you can always have both, but #1 comes first for me.

Ted Pinson aye?

Dirge and Funeral Portrait turn me off the latter half of 'BWP'. If BWP consisted of:

Leper
Bleak
Harvest
Drapery
Patterns
Blackwater

it would be a perfect album.
