That was the catch of the riff. It's all rhythmic and disharmonic. You'd expect it to be at least a little unpredictable with the timings. Check out the start of Nightwish - The Kinslayer for a cool example of this. Try to follow the 'bang' when the instruments kick in every now and then.buchkoba00 said:So music isn't cool unless it's in some crazy ass time signature?
Damnation is an incredible album. But to try and compare it to the rest of Opeth's catalogue is just silly, apples and oranges.
Also, nobody's comparing it to Opeth's catalogue. We're judging it on its own merit. Well, bar my Mordet i Grottan comparison, which I think is fair because Mikael did rip the whole chorus out and use it in To Rid the Disease.
Anyway I never really answered the question. I like Damnation.. its a pretty cool album to chill out with, just gets a little repetitive and boring.
