    "The Lotus Eater" is conceptually immaculate; shut the hell up.

    While I agree with you, I would still very much like to hear your interpretation of the song, as you have opened up my eyes to a whole new level of understanding and insight into Opeth's art. I appreciate the time you took to post your thoughts though, it was a highly interesting read.

    Which year did you start listening to Peth?

    Favorite Akerfeldt Lead/Riff/Song/Moment?

    "Bleak" [6.40 - 7.20] The first time I heard this section I was walking through a forest footpath on the way to my girlfriend's house, it gave me the shivers and goosebumps, and still does, everythime. Everything seemed to fit, for some reason. The whole song is godly, one of my faves. I've...

    Watershed: Opeth's Most Rhythmically Impressive Album?

    I don't think that would sound too good at all, if you're referring to the new Mars Votla drummer. He's a very 'busy' player, and while this fits The Mars Volta's hectic sound, I'm not sure it would fit with Opeth's.

    ^^ I agree :) However, I personally think that Still Life or My Arms, Your Hearse might have more atmosphere, though it's all a matter of opinion. I'm not sure which of the three have more, I keep switching between them. One thing is clear though, is that all three are drenched in the...

    Between These Two Opeth Songs, Which Do You Think Has The Best Lyrical Work?
