ah. sounds good. any leaks?

apologies if this is old news, it's been awhile since I've been here. from Wikipedia: "By January 2008, Opeth had recorded 13 songs, including three cover songs.[35] The finished album, Watershed, features seven tracks, with cover songs used as bonus tracks on different versions of the...

from that article: "By January 2008, Opeth had recorded 13 songs, including three cover songs.[35] The finished album, Watershed, features seven tracks, with cover songs used as bonus tracks on different versions of the album." 13 tracks? 1. Coil 2. Heir Apparent 3. Lotus Eaters 4...

I haven;'t listened yet because still trying to find a way to get them off the goddamn DVD!@!!!

Ok I have a DVD Decrypter - anyone know which of the files on there (VUB IFO or BUP) actually correspond to the 3 songs? I assume from that point I'll need to find something to convert those to mp3. Dammit Roadrunner!!!

got mine today - 2 days late special edition CD with flimsy cardboard wrapper and 2 slipcase CDs, check poster, check 2LP which I will sell on Ebay 'cause I have no record player, plus bonus CD and poster, check autographed booklet - NO - no booklet at all in fact - does the Special Edition...

:( :( :( :( tour not coming to Phoenix :( :( :( :(

so is 'Would?' not one of the bonus tracks for Watershed? only Derelict, Bridge and Den?

nah if anything Damnation confirmed that they can do whatever the hell they want and be creatively triumphant. no surprise that GR had a few more mellow moments than previous albums, 'cause of the confidence and comfort-level they'd established. and while I don't think they're ever gone as dark...

one of the most gratifying and thrilling songs in their entire catalog - that mounting acoustic mantra exploding into a bouncy succession of monster riff after monster riff, and each one tops the next, making you crank the volume higher and higher. awesome. love this song, one of my top 5...

I think a lot of the flak it get is due to scenesterism, people pissed that this was the album that broke their beloved band to a wider audience. which is ridiculous, of course. it's probably my third fave Opeth disc, w/ BWP and Morningrise holding the top two spots. Baying of the Hounds...

been my favorite band since first hearing them in late 1997. saw a copy of Morningrise at Rasputin's in Berkeley w/ a note taped to it reading "Best Band in the Universe." took a chance, the clerk was dead-on, I went back for Orchid soon after, eagerly awaited the release of My Arms Your Hearse...

Amorphis - Silent Waters Spawn of Possession - Noctambulant (thanks for releasing this stateside, Willowtip!) Arch Enemy - Rise of the Tyrant Limbonic Art - Legacy of Evil and also processed a ton of emulated soundfiles into mp3s for all my favorite NES, Master System and Genesis game...

love that band, picked up Vapen and Ammunition after seeing them on Peter's playlist maybe 5+ years ago. that album is excellent, as is Du & Jag Doden. some very catchy tunes on both and some gorgeous melodies too. I hear there's a new one out soon? I have Isola and Hagnesta Hill as well and...

I was in Paris for a few days in January of '06; business trip (for Disney, oddly enough) with 2 days to do some sightseeing. I spent a dreary morning wandering around Montmartre Cemeterie, taking pictures and exploring the quiet avenues and corridors of tombs, sepulchres and statues. No one...
