    Evidence of Opeth's popularity

    Opeth being played at Best Buy? I went to go buy Damnation there, and though the computer said they had 3 copies, the shelf had none. I'm not sure if i should be excited or disappointed that the best buy dj played Opeth. I mean, it's cool if they get a bigger fanbase, but if they change their...

    April Ethereal

    i LOVE April Ethereal. that's one of my favorite opeth songs. unfortunately, my copy of MAYH is scratched, and April Etherial skips for like 2 minutes straight. It doesn't skip in all CD players though. I've yet to try it in my car, but if it plays in there, then i'll be happy. I can't find that...

    Major turn off on Damnation: the "strings"

    yeah, i can't think of any pumpkins songs with the mellotron, but they show it on the new DVD. SP is my other favorite band (besides Opeth). The two bands just have such beautiful music, i could live forever without listening to anything else.

    So I bought "In Absentia" on your recommendation

    I love In Absentia. I read the name Porcupine Tree in the booklet of Blackwater Park, and also heard they were good from various message boards. I had never heard them until i went to my local record shop, and after failing to think of anything I really wanted decided to "check out that...

    Blackest of the Black - LA!

    Opeth was amazing that night. Behemoth was good, I like them, and they played my favorite one of their songs (Decade of Therion). Lacuna coil was ok...i guess....Andre couldn't be heard that much, and I just couldn't get into them that much. Nile played great, but could have been better...

    Deliverence VS BWP (the songs)

    I'm not going to answer this, simply because I haven't had Deliverance long enough, or listened to it enough to have it really grow on me. I think after a couple weeks or so, a lot of peoples opinions of the album will become more positive.

    "Deliverance" fails to deliver?

    In Flames, R2R, and all 3 of you suck! Ok...just R2R sucks....

    Is there any old Opeth fans who actually LIKE Deliverance?

    I'm a fan of all opeth, and MAYH is my favorite record of theirs, but I still like Deliverance (or what i've heard of it)...but you're right, something sounds missing. Maybe it's just the fact that it's the first time i've heard it. I know it will grow on me. The cover art is great as well...

    Movie tread

    Now, is that pre De Mysteriis or post Mysteriis Mayhem we're talking about? Venom would be pretty funny though....

    Killswitch Engage!

    I hope the US gives birth to more bands like this. These guys are some of the best American metal i've heard in some time.

    Best Darkthrone Album?

    What is the best/your favorite Darkthrone album? Edit: PLEASE let me know if I'm missing any albums up there. Those are the only ones I could find.

    Movie tread

    Yes, the name of it was "Cradle of Fear". It was a decent tribute to 80's splatter films, but other than that, it was nothing special. My favorite movies...Fight Club, Clerks, O Brother Where Art Thou, Snatch, Dogma, Dirty Harry...just to name a few.

    Mother Earth is dying soon !

    Fuck air! We have Vintersorg! ;) But I do think that breeding should be controlled/prohibited in certain third world countries. I also think immigration should be government controlled, but thats another story...
