You can do!.. I believe in you!..

I couldn't though

Aye, it helps that at the moment I know I have the money to buy it when it does come out, and that for the two weeks prior to release I'll be on holiday so won't be able to even consider downloading it.

And it's Opeth, a band that deserves my money.

downloading it won't hurt Opeth in anyway..

Shut up! We who will not download must resist!

What is the release date for the new album?

On a random note, I frigging love the piano part at the end of Leper Affinity :)

Never!

The release is set for August 30th.

Be there or be dead.

Tough.

That is ages away, I thought it would be really close seeing that there is a leak out. What has been said about the new album because I know nothing about this album? Also, don't worry, I'll be there ;)

It will be very different from previous efforts...there are two songs available, scroll back a few pages on this thread...Ghost of Perdition is amazing....The Grand Conjuration is awesome if you ask me, some don't like it....oh, and the Travelocity gnome rules. About all that is known about the album from those who haven't downloaded it yet....

I agree in The Grand Conjuration being great. But those of you who don't like it won't be dissapointed

I heard there's a leak out. I am just hoping you guys won't talk about it, or else I'm gonna have to stop coming to this thread until August 30th...lol

Too late, haha

[QUOTE=Knifeboy]Too late, haha[/QUOTE]

well I've heard two songs, and that's enough for me..

I've just listened to it straight through.......I don't know what to say. I have been blown away.......all I'll say is, as the album draws to a close, Isolation Years is how to end an album.
Oh, and Beneath The Mire has to be one of the coolest songs I've ever heard.

it leached. i have the album. on aug 30th im planing on buying it though. true fans wont rip off the artist.

as a true fan I'm aiting till august 30th :cool:

Sympathising with you greatly here

Isolation years is so ****ING AWESOME!!!

[QUOTE=-Listy-]Where did you guys download it from?[/QUOTE]

How in the **** do you sign up for that site?

I loaded it up on yousendit.I don't know if I should post it considering how many people are trying not to hear it until the 30th.That would be like waving heroin infront of a person who's trying to stay clean.

Give me your E-mail adress if you want it.

So many people talking about the new album...the suspense is maddening..I'm trying to wait until the 30th as well. What's it like? Everyone's saying it's good, but Opeth's consistently been putting out good music..saying it's good tells me nothing. I heard that Opeth was supposed to go back to black metal with this album, is that what happened, or did they take it in another direction?

How are you guys getting these songs?

Ok I have a couple things to say.

1. Let's make babies

and

2. How does a .rar file work? Can I separate it into 8 mp3s?

We're stealing them you dummy.

They are over torrents and I found a couple on Lime Wire.



**Semi spoiler from the four songs I've heard**





I think it's a mix of BWP and Deliverance? Substitute keys for the ebow. Maybe? I haven't hear it all yet so... ???

I can't really describe it.It's very different, that's all I can really say.It's not black metal, but there are moments that would be considered BM I guess.

Every song on here is written so precisely(sp?).It is very evident from the beginning that they really took their time rehearsing and writing the songs to the perfect point.There are 3 songs that are all soft.They are all very different from any other soft track in previous albums.Somewhat strange.Hours of Wealth IMO is possibly the saddest Opeth song out of all.Mikeal delivers such an awesome vocal performance on it.Which can be said for the rest of the album.I think vocally, this cd is the best.Mike shines so bright.Everyone does.There is ambience all over the cd thanks to the new keyboards.They keyboards add so much to the music.So much beauty.

So far, Baying of the Hounds is my favorite song.It nearly moved me to tears.It's so perfect.The solo that comes in at about 7 mins is godly.

You have to extract .rar files. I'm guessing you don't have a program that will let you do that, you can try the one on this this site.

.rar file is like a zip file type of thing.Just install this program and it will extract the files.

I know Gene has been filling in for Martin for about a week or two, but this is insane.

I seriously hope it isnt true.

Did you click on the "full story"?

It was just a link to someone posting on a message board. I wouldn't take it too seriously until some plausible source gives some information.

[B]Hours of Wealth[/B]
Found a way
To rid myself clean of pain
And the fever thats been haunting me
Has gone away

Looking through my window, I seem to recognise
All the people passing by
But I'm alone, and far from home
and nobody knows me

Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again

All days are in darkness and I'm biding my time
Once I am sure on my task I will rise
Again

Still not a good sign, in light of all of Martin's absence and everything. :(
