Finally a band that I can say 'I come from the same town as those guys!!' Heh but seriously, I heard them a few years back and they are indeed as good as the reviews say they are. Can't wait to see them live again soon.

Fair enough, I guess I'm just a little negative towards the whole 'explaining why Opeth is good' thing as I constantly tried to get my friends to listen to them which did not succeed. I actually like the fact now that nobody I know really likes them, it gives me the feeling that I have this...

As much as I respect the SSMT site I can hardly believe what Chedsey says about Opeth. Doesn't really matter though, music is entirely subjective and you should listen to whatever you decide you like. You should not have to follow someone else's opinion just because they use a lot of big words...

Like I said, you probably should have made it a bit more clear what you were trying to get across with your post. But anyway if you wrote that critique up yourself and you like Opeth, surely you must understand the reasons why you like them? Why did you ask for defense if you already like them...

Ok I just read that again, he's basically asking for defensive responses against the opinions of the majority of people out there that would not like Opeth's music. Should have made it more clear what you were trying to say there :)

My thoughts exactly.

I personally love the album and can't really see why some people don't like it. I know that most of the people on this board love it though, but if people want to voice their opinion an give justified reasons why they don't like it I guess that's fair enough

Too late now eh? :) I can't believe what my friend told me yesterday (he and one of his other friends are big metallica fans). He was going on about how he had just listened to the new album and how unbelieveably awesome it was. I couldn't believe the shit I was hearing - so I asked about the...

ahahaha that one was great :) 'I'm sorry George...I've wet the bed!' I love when Betty asks him what he's got down there? (referring to the toilet). Goes through this whole list of things he crammed down there :)

lol Gotta be his best out-of-nowhere post yet :)

After listening to stuff like Opeth for the last few years this album sounds just plain boring. Everything about it is ordinary, nothing special at all. To add on top of it the drums (especially snare) sound terrible. Not really worth wasting your time on unless you're that bored.

Heaps of stores have it, it really isn't hard to find at all. You should go check out The End if you want it cheap - www.theendrecords.com

Think I'll just list my copy right now :)

Saw that as well a bit earlier today. I love the album a lot, but it all comes down to personal opinion I guess... And I'm used to people not liking Opeth's music because of the growling vocals, so a few negative reviews for Damnation here and there don't really bother me :)
