    the best set closer

    Loooove Karma. It may be the most undermentioned song on this board (though suddenly everyone is showing love for it). Other possible closers: 1. White Cluster - it's just a stunning song 2. Ghost of Perdition - though that last riff doesn't end with the "epicness"

    Watershed in perspective of other Opeth albums

    With each album, there are songs that grab you right off the bat, and others that grow on you. The Drapery Falls changed my life the first time I heard it. It was the first time I had to accept the "death growl". Otherwise I would miss out on the greatest riffage on earth. Ghost of...

    Watershed Growing on Me Like a Weed

    I'm finding myself skipping Porcelain Heart too. Though I'm sure I'll go back to it eventually. I kinda wore it out in anticipation of the new album... I also wore out The Lotus Eater. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't listened to the pre-released tracks. I think Opeth albums need to be...

    Watershed Growing on Me Like a Weed

    1st listen: Argh! What is this!? Where did they take Opeth and replace them with King Crimson? 2nd listen: Dang...I like this Coil song...it's pretty. 3rd listen: Heir Apparent gives me chills like the end of Ghost of Perdition. 4th listen: Wow...Burden...who would have thought Mikael...

    Those Special Chills

    The Amen Corner - Acoustic part around 3:00 - I get freaking visions from that section. The Leper Affinity - The outro groove into the piano ending is pretty much the most glorious ending to a song ever...aside from: April Ethereal - The Outro - there's something so heroic about that...

    Opeth & The Red Sox

    I'm a video producer and I used the acoustic section about 3:00 in to "The Amen Corner" for a YMCA promotional video for their 12 Step Programs. So one day, some alcoholic Opeth fan is going to be watching it and saying..."Wait a minute..."

    Definition of "Black Metal"

    Forgive my ignorance. I've listened almost exclusively to Opeth for the last 7 years, but I still don't know the definition of "black metal" and how it differentiates from "death metal". Mikael referred to some of his Orchid lyrics as "black metal nonsense" on the Roundhouse Tapes. I don't...

    Opeth and the new age of record releasing...

    I think one aspect of owning physical copies that would be lost is when you have people over to your house or they ride in your car and they check out your music collection by thumbing through your cd cases. Great music conversations will be lost....

    Porcelain Heart sample?

    I like the melody! I can see it becoming epic and awesome...not unlike everything else they've ever done. And perhaps it starts on the same note as "To Rid the Disease"...but then it goes in a different direction. Can't wait...can't wait...can't wait...(just realized that the phrase "can't...

    Your Order

    1. Blackwater Park - It's what got me into Death Metal. I had never considered it because of the vocals before. Then I heard "Harvest" and "Drapery Falls". Drapery continues to be my favorite song of all time by anyone. Love the rest except for "Dirge". 2. My Arms, Your Hearse - The riffs...

    Headline shows Vs. Dream Theater shows

    The only reason I'm glad they are touring with DT is that perhaps they'll get some converts who've never heard them. I had always hated "death" vocals until I heard Opeth (granted, the first song I heard was "Harvest", and I was intrigued enough by that to listen more...I got over the vocals...
