at least you didnt play black rose immortal. then they would have never came back at all. :lol:

still life ALWAYS wins these damn polls. dont get me wrong, i love still life and all, its a damn fantastic album, but i like morningrise better. morningrise has my vote, although i enjoy EVERY opeth album. even watershed.

i remember it like it was yesterday. (im a fairly new opeth fan, just for the record. been one for around 2 years now.) first song i heard was TGC. i wasnt too impressed, so i gave up listening to them. well about a week later i was like "ah what the hell, im sure i passed up something good." i...

i got a pretty small collection. im 15 and live with my parents and dont work so gimme a break. BWP Burden EP Watershed (Special Edition) MAYH The Roundhouse Tapes (CD, not to be mistaken for DVD) Still Life (original edition) Blackwater Park hoodie Damnation imported t shirt and as soon as...

1. that riff around 1:15 into Under the Weeping Moon is brilliant. all time favorite, and defining opeth moment for me. 2. that little ascending scale a couple minutes into the live version of When on TRHT, right after the first verse. 3. When, on the line, "to find my way back home". just...

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you here, but i have to say, watershed isnt really what i expected, not to say it was a major let-down or anything.

I definitely think Steve DiGrigorio's sound on Death's Symbolic was something else for sure. the metal scene definitely needs more fretless like on Symbolic.

EPIC DOOMUS METALLICUS. oh goodness. that brings me back. waaaaay back.

agreed that PH and HO are pretty mediocre. to be honest, i can't listen to the entirety of HO for some reason. i think it might actually be the only song that bores me. even Hessian Peel is easier to listen to. but thats just me. Now i also agree that derelict herds isnt too great, but you...

like the whole album? special or regular edition?

Well i'll go as far as to call it an ALBUM. it IS an Opeth album, but not the Opeth i've become accustomed to over the years. Watershed is no BWP or Still Life (the latter definitely being one of my favorites, so im making a pretty drastic comparison here) but its good. by my standards, and...

i know they already did a Celtic Frost cover, but they should cover more of CF's stuff. opeth knows what they're doing and how not to screw up covers of good bands like frost.

The Moor. right before that i was listening to Windowpane (the live version from Roundhouse Tapes) :rock:
