Demon of the Fall
06.14.19 | Am I allowed to participate in this if I didn't do the first one? |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.14.19 | Excite! Are we allowed a peek into your album ranking again this time? |
Trifolium
06.14.19 | YESSSS! The best pick Johnny, this will explode now.
Let's see here... Which ones would Scheumke like... |
Scheumke
06.14.19 | Ofcourse Demon, everyone's welcome!
Johnny go for it! However there are couple of albums I haven't ranked, and one or two I haven't ever even listened to yet. |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.19 | Time to make some guesses based on my own tendencies (sort of), do me proud...
Blackwater Park
Ghost of Perdition
Drapery Falls
Hessian Peel
Godhead's Lament
Harlequin Forest
The Leper Affinity
Baying of the Hounds
April Ethereal
Advent |
Trifolium
06.14.19 | Wow Demon, those are my favourites you're listing here < 3 |
Demon of the Fall
06.14.19 | I mixed it up with some common fan faves as they’re not necessarily my top 10, maybe a couple of those would be in it for me. |
Trifolium
06.14.19 | Well, Drapery, Leper, Harlequin, Godhead's and Hessian wouldn't be in my top 10, but the other half could very well be.
Hope to pick my Scheumke top-10 tonight. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.15.19 | "Johnny go for it! However there are couple of albums I haven't ranked, and one or two I haven't ever even listened to yet."

06.15.19 | Blackwater Park - 5
Ghost Reveries - 5
Watershed - 4.5

Scheumke
06.16.19 | Who is joining me for this week guys! gonna be awesome to do this, I love me some Opeth and it's not really a band I ever really get tired of. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.16.19 | This is pretty tough tbh, feel the gaps in my Opeth knowledge are gonna let me down but here's my best second-guessing...
1. The Drapery Falls
2. Baying of the Hounds
3. Ghost of Perdition
4. Blackwater Park
5. The Moor
6. Heir Apparent
7. Bleak
8. The Lepar Affinity
9. Windowpane
10. April Ethereal |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.16.19 | Oh snap, this is 50% the same as Demon's. Gonna be interesting... |
Trifolium
06.16.19 | Oooh I still have to cast my vote for this round, maybe tonight! |
Scheumke
06.16.19 | You have The Moor double Johhny ;) |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.16.19 | Oh snap, I can't get double points if it comes up? ;]
Lemme fix that... |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.16.19 | Was gonna guess Harlequin Forest but damn, this list needs to be more different from Demon's :P Bleak tends to be a safe bet with Opeth... |
Trifolium
06.16.19 | 1. Blackwater Park
2. Deliverance
3. Ghost Of Perdition
4. Face Of Melinda
5. Demon Of The Fall
6. Bleak
7. Windowpane
8. The Lotus Eater
9. Häxprocess
10. The Grand Conjuration |
Trifolium
06.16.19 | There we have it. This is my guess. |
Scheumke
06.17.19 | Some nice guesses there already! Once again I don't really know how it's gonna fall myself. I have an idea but this might be one of the hardest bands ever to rate. There will be a lot of: 'Wow you have this way to low', that I can almost guarantee. |
Trifolium
06.17.19 | Excited for this one!
''one of the hardest bands ever to rate. There will be a lot of: 'Wow you have this way to low', that I can almost guarantee.'' This so hard. Picking just 10 is impossible. |
Egarran
06.17.19 | 1. The Moor
2. The Lotus Eater
3. The Amen Corner
4. The Drapery Falls
5. The Devil's Orchard
6. The Funeral Portrait
7. The Grand Conjuration
8. The Twilight is My Robe
9. The Baying of the Hounds
10.The Night and the Silent Water

Egarran
06.17.19 | Thanks Johnny. Turns out Orchid has a top 10 song. |
Trifolium
06.17.19 | Omg it so has. The Twilight Is My Robe is a-ma-zing. (And not just because it fits the ''the'' theme.) |
Scheumke
06.19.19 | Two days to go. Voting ends Friday at 12pm CEST. |

Scheumke
06.20.19 | One day to go. I'm almost done with the run. God this is/was a blast! And incredibly difficult to rank so many amazing songs. |
Trifolium
06.20.19 | YES!!! They're awesome, too many great ones to pick from, and that discog is one for the books for sure. |
Trifolium
06.20.19 | (The first 10 at least...) |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | Any last minute voters? Couple of hours left. I'm going to add the top 10 to this list and make a separate one for the full ranking. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | Voting has closed folks. Getting the results up now! |
Trifolium
06.21.19 | Oooh excited! |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | We are in a very special situation. There is a tie in points between DemonoftheFall and Trifolium. Not only that, but they both have five songs correct in the top 10. To top it all off, I have the next 2 songs from both all ranked equal in my list (The Baying of the Hounds, The Lotus Eater, The Grand Conjuration and Hessian Peel) at number 16-19. So I declare you both winners! As for the price, I suggest one of you gets to pick the band I do next, and the other gets to pick the band that replaces it. Since DemonoftheFall had my number 1 AND 2 correctly, I say he get's to choose the band for next week! Congratulations both, well played!! |
Trifolium
06.21.19 | Omg Demon! We were catching some of Scheumke's vibes for sure. Haha! A good top 10 by the way Scheumke, a little BWP heavy but I can't blame you.
So I'll pick the band that replaces Opeth then? |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | Technically the one that replaces Demon's pick, but yeah. I almost had 7 different albums in here and I know Still Life is really missing, but I it is what it is I guess. |
Demon of the Fall
06.21.19 | Thanks Scheumke, hope you enjoyed this! I'll prepare my speech.
So you're doing another list for the results, correct? Me and Trifo can sort it out in there, unless we're required to fight to the death? Edit: Oh wait it's updated, silly me, I got excited. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | @Demon: It was an absolute blast! Hope you enjoyed playing :). You can choose which band I tackle week next out of the list: Avantasia/Glen Hansard/Kendrick Lamar/Tool/Melt-Banana. |
Trifolium
06.21.19 | We'll have that fight another time man, who knows! I'm happy with Scheumke's suggestion. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | If you guys decide you'd prefer it the other way around then by all means! |
Demon of the Fall
06.21.19 | Actually, there's an easy answer for me so I might have to be selfish and select Melt-Banana? Is this suitable/ok Trifo?
Edit: unless they are slightly too obscure, if other people can join in for the new list then maybe a more well known artist would be better (like Kendrick or Tool), just a thought. |
Trifolium
06.21.19 | I'm fine with whatever you pick Demon. You've earned your choice. I don't know Melt-Banana myself, but that hasn't stopped me from participating in the past.
For a band pick I was thinking about either Portishead (small discog though, but that could spice things up a bit!) or Radiohead (everyone knows them and has opinions about their best tracks, would mean people can join easily). |
Demon of the Fall
06.21.19 | I thought it had to be from Scheumke's pre-approved selection? Here...
'You can choose which band I tackle week next out of the list: Avantasia/Glen Hansard/Kendrick Lamar/Tool/Melt-Banana.'
|
Trifolium
06.21.19 | True! And then I pick a band that replaces your pick's empty slot. I love how we're having this conversation in two places at the same time < 3 |
Demon of the Fall
06.21.19 | I didn't want to clog up this glorious thread with me being a simpleton for not understanding the rules, but yeah it makes sense here so...
I'm happy to power through with Melt-Banana, just a little concerned it won't get the traffic. If we can agree to the 2nd or 'replacement' artist then I'm also fine with replacing Melt-Banana with one of the other selections. Radiohead seems like a great replacement artist pick (as you mentioned), we're both fans and loads of people can join in with that one, plus they have an extensive discog. |
Trifolium
06.21.19 | Yeah but I think the idea is that you pick from those which are available now (and next week will revolve around that band), and I then pick which band fills in the empty slot left behind by your band of choice.
Confusion all over! Haha! Am I right or not Scheumke? |
Egarran
06.21.19 | Surely they're all joke suggestions apart from Tool. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | @Egarran, not really I just wanted to start out with a couple of bands I know I enjoy and are pretty diverse.
So the list for Demon to choose from would be this list's number 2 through 6. So say you pick Melt-Banana, that leaves 4 bands in the list for the next winner to choose from. Trif can pick another band to fill that gap, so the next winner has 5 to choose from again.
If the general consensus is that Tool is the only viable pick atm, than I can replace Avantasia/Glen Hansard/Kendick Lamar with other choices. |
Demon of the Fall
06.21.19 | Was Trfio mistaken when he said we could request additional artists then? He was talking about adding a band (for the week after) that wasn't part of the current selection. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.21.19 | Damn, huge plot twist - nice work guys, always knew this would be tight but v cool to see it pan out this way! Hugely biased, but am beyond stoked to see what happens in a Melt-Banana round (which I guess doesn't have to be particularly drawn out if losing traffic/momentum is a worry, since they have a pretty short discog time-wise) |
Demon of the Fall
06.21.19 | I wanted Melt-Banana... we just need a few interest parties to make it interesting, where's ZombieToyDuck when you need him? I myself need to explore their discog further (heard 4 of their albums), so it'd be a good excuse. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | @Demon: No Trif just picks one band that will replace Melt-Banana in the list so the list is always 5 artists.
Full ranking is up now. I'm holding my seat for the shitstorm comming lol, probably gonna be divisive. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | And sooo, Melt-Banana for next week it is. I'll have the new week up later today when I know for sure which choice Trif makes :) |
Trifolium
06.21.19 | Cool, don't know Melt-Banana apart from 1 track that got rec'd in the Song of the Day thread, but that's a good reason to get to know them!
I pick Radiohead since many people will think lots of things about them. Good choice Scheumke? |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.21.19 | I think Opeth fans are relatively united on the band's best tracks, but Radiohead fans have so many splinter groups - that'll be a fun one for sure
Gonna take the MxBx round as an excuse to finally review Charlie |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | Radiohead accepted into the list! When that one comes around I'm probably gonna get death-threats. I am thoroughly unversed in Radiohead and until recently I didn't really like them from what I did know. Listened to OK,Computer and I found I liked it a lot more than I expected, so curious to see what the rest might bring. Will be cursing in church a lot there though. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | Owh jezus christ Johnny what did you get me stuck with now.. Was taking a look at the Melt-Banana records. These songs are all 1 minute long and there are 25+ on them on each record. How the fuck am I supposed to rank that lol. Shit's gonna be hilarious.
Edit* Ok thank god not all their albums are like that, only the first 3 or so. Still, gonna be funny |
Demon of the Fall
06.21.19 | I had forgotten to consider the fact they have a lot of super-short tracks, haha. At least their discog isn't crazy long overall, I suppose. |
Scheumke
06.21.19 | Nah, total time of 4.3 hours versus 11.75 of Opeth, this is gonna be a breeze :D |
Egarran
06.21.19 | Wait what, how did I miss Deliverance & Damnation Remixed by Steve Wilson?
They sound GREAT, possibly even better than the OGs. |
Trifolium
06.21.19 | Coooool! Looking forward to that. |

06.21.19 | Nice |

06.23.19 | Oh you're in for it. Melt Banana is....well Bananas. |
