You can say/ wear what ever you want in America. If anyone tells you otherwise they are full of shit. (1st amendment in the constitution) That doesn't mean that you won't get shot though. (2nd amendment in the constitution)

I know this topic has been written about like 7 million times... but I have a new question. How much money do you think i would have to offer Opeth, or their manager, or RR to buy all the INDIVIDUAL tracks for Still Life? I really do like the SL 5.1 mix that just came out, in fact I listen...

Most Opeth songs contain English words that I don't even know. The fact that English is Mikes second language and he speaks it better then me, makes him bad ass.

I have to say, after the first listen I hated it, was pissed at Opeth for the worst album they ever released. Now, I can't get enough, there are are plenty of brilliant riffs and harmonies that I can see this album being one of their best ever. I won't really know until I get past 100 play...

Just like any other product in order to get the CD on the shelves of all of the stores on the same day there are a lot of logistics. Leaks usually occur when the cd is being mass produced or at any stage between then and the distriubution of the album... so the company can't release it any...

Actually I only learned about Agalloch a couple weeks ago and do like them... How can pandora.com play all its songs, without commercials, for free? Its marketing for the band. I would have never heard of Opeth had my friend BURNED me their CD. Since then (after I downloaded all their old...

This is brilliant. I agree with you, there is very little the band can actually do. My personal view is that if you think the music is good then you will spend the big bucks to go see the live shows. The bands see very little of CD revenue anyway... I've been to every opeth concert in my...

You are right at 10:10 in the original moor the whisper is there I just had never noticed it before. But you are wrong about the recording of other parts. I agree it sounds different but that is due to new eq's which emphasize new frequencies and harmonies. Other tracks of guitar were...

I finally got mine in! I may have the first copy in America, seeing as I ordered it from Australia 5 days before it was released and the shipping just took forever... The stereo mix is hardly different, almost like they just put a new EQ on it... The 5.1 mix: Finally a meaning full...

I bought it on Ebay on the 26th from some duchebag in Australia, still havn't got it IM PISSED!!!!

Agree to disagree

I really would be interested in some other lyrical bands. Any really good ones?

I used to not care about they lyrics cause the music was so good. Then one day I was interested, Some of the growls I can distinguish but some I had no clue about. Once I find out what the lyrics really are then I can hear all the words. But your telling me you can understand all of them? If so...

I give them the benefit of the doubt until the album release when I can sit down and listen to it straight through. Mike is a genius so I expect nothing but genius from him. It may be different from previous albums but that is what is good about Opeth. No one can say they haven' t changed since...

Think about what those two words mean and you will understand why it was meant to be dissonant. It's called word painting. Both words have negative connotations, and both are sung with abrasive sounding harmonies. You can tell it is on purpose because the harmonic voice puts emphasis on that...
