I bought this one as well. It's pretty sweet. There were others, too, but that one stood out to me. Sorry to add absolutely nothing to the thread.

I have one. It's a black flexfit hat with the gold "O" logo. I've had it for a while ... not totally sure where I got it, but I believe it was on eBay. But yes, they exist.

This sort of goes along with a couple of points that were already made in this thread, but I find I enjoy The Grand Conjuration MUCH more when I hear it in the context of the entire album than by itself. You go through Atonement, Harlequin Forest and Hours of Wealth, which are more or less nice...

Not liking it or disagreeing with someone's opinion is one thing. But to suggest that they shouldn't do videos at all because you don't like them or that the whole thing sucks because the song was edited down or that the new members are awful and should be kicked out seems to me like being...

This is why I stopped coming here. Everything is so damn negative all the time if Opeth doesn't do exactly what you think they should do. There's nothing particularly wrong with the edit of the song ... it's a pretty simple song with a lot of repeated riffs that can be shortened without killing...

I did 7digital.com yesterday and paid through Paypal, which did the conversion to US dollars automatically. No ZIP code necessary.

I tried a search but couldn't find much. Without hijacking the thread, can someone just summarize what it is that people don't like about GR?

I was somewhat surprised when I started posting here again and saw that I had joined in December of 2003. That was shortly after I started getting into Opeth, which means it's been nearly five years. I had started with Deliverance and Damnation, then as I got into Blackwater Park and Still Life...

I agree with all of this, though I think it would be weird to change the drumming. It would be nice to hear Mike sing them now, having improved so much. And hearing UTWM and TNATSW on Roundhouse Tapes made me realize how great they could sound with decent production. Unfortunately it's not...

Yeah, I don't think they'd have a song that long that was all soft. As for non-Damnation soft stuff, I thougth Ghost Reveries had quite a bit (three full songs).

Not that it changes anything in this discussion, but the clip is actually about 30 seconds long. I was surprised, too ... it feels more like 15, like most people have said. Oh, and I really like it.

Normally I would let something like this go, but I felt compelled to respond. This is the e-mail I just sent to the author: -------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Grim, You, sir, and all your hatred and intolerance will certainly rot in hell, if there is such a...

I actually made a two-disc compilation for myself when I was still trying to get to know all the albums. I think they still hold up pretty well, though now that I look at it, it's more of a "Later stuff" and "Earlier stuff" mixture to some degree. Well here they are: Disc 1 1. The Moor 2...

I have to make a confession. I'll probably get kicked off this board for admitting that I like some of the bands I'm about to admit that I like, but it's a long answer to the question posted in this thread. I'm not a metalhead. Please don't hate me for the music I like. When I first really...
