please tell me you're joking

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Fuck yes.

fuck no!

What's wrong with Opeth's logo?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

doesn't stand out in any possible way. What's there to like about it?

 

[CiG]

Yeah I like Opeth's logo. I like it more than I like their music, even.

These two are so awesome.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

that opeth logo makes that nevermore one look like a masterpiece. generic as fuck.

Still Life and Blackwater Park are awesome though. Especially the former

 

[CiG]

The Opeth logo is very generic I agree, but if you consider that they in many ways desperately want to be a 1970's progressive rock band, it makes some sense to have a more literary/uppity looking logo. It reeks of fartsniffing bookwormism, but for whatever reason I can appreciate it.

Still Life and Blackwater Park or any of their older stuff are wannabe 70's progressive rock? Did you just start listening to them a few years ago or what?

I tend to like logos that I can actually read...

To be fair, I think he's talking about their output post-Watershed.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i know he is, but that's ignoring the meat of their discography. Who the fuck around here listens to post Watershed Opeth anyway?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Who the fuck around here listens to post Watershed Opeth anyway?

Anyone who doesn't know well enough to listen to Goblin and Jethro Tull anyway.

I think even in their early days they wanted to be, in spirit, a 1970's progressive rock band. The way they mixed genres was so unorthodox back then. So they better honoured old progressive music by actually being very original. Now they've just dropped all intention of originality and instead dabble in cloneism.

That's how I look at it anyway, by all means disagree haha.

You know, that's actually a pretty good assessment of the band's (d)evolution.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah definitely, early Opeth is totally wannabe progressive rock. Lol, geniuses

okay

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I actually own Pale Communion and Heritage, and i also probably own more Jethro Tull album on vinyl than you guys can name. But when someone refers to the heart of Opeths discogorphy, rarely are they talking about the newer prog-rock shit.

Their last two album barely have over 2k ratings on RYM ... the lowest by far, especially when compared to SL and BP, which have 10k and almost 7k ratings each.
