I have seen them twice (well, once and a bit, as I left the second time) and I can honestly say they are one of the worst live bands I have ever seen. I never want to listen to them ever again.
Eh, I don't want to dislike it. I really like Opeth, and am just pissed off with the new stuff really. As far as I'm concerned, eight excellent albums is a pretty damn good run.
I've loved Opeth for a few years now, and yes I have to an extent lost some interest in them. In part that was due to discovering some prog bands (although to be fair I may not have with some were it not for Opeth) that have been borrowed from, but mostly it has just been seeing members leave...
I was deeply depressed when I heard this song. It is without doubt the worst Opeth song ever, and while that title had before still held merit, this song is just rubbish.
I thought it was that picture of them on the title page at first. Then the real cover loaded, thankfully. It's not bad. I am indifferent about the new song I heard though, Heir Apparent or whatever.
Yeah it would be loads better. As it stands it's Opeth and three shit bands, who may or may not be amusing for a song or two. I think arriving very late or not at all would be a fine plan.
Hopefully Opeth will play first so I can fuck off when they their finish their set. I don;t know why they have to name the tour after such a shit album, though.
