BEST ENDINGS

[Annihilat0r]

stole the idea from somebody in the bleak ending thread.

keywords: Opeth, song, ending, best, worst

Best ending has to be The Drapery Falls, it's just epic.

Worst is probably Burden, it's a creative trick but drags for too long.

 

[Noel]

Burden. Worst.

 

[Vamos]

Actually, this thread was made some years ago: Song endings.

Wreath and Deliverance have my favorite endings but right now, I also love the one of Master's Apprentices. The way the song comes out of the soft acoustic section and kicks into the amazing drumming by Lopez that then fades always gets me and reminds me a bit of the ending of Finally Free by Dream Theater (done much better).

As to the worse, I have to agree with Burden. The song should end at around the 5 minute mark.

An ending that annoys me because it basically ruins an amazing song and taints a perfect album is the one of A Fair Judgment. I have tried to like it but I just can't get over it.

 

[To rid you disease]

best: deliverance - no explanation needed
worst: closure - the sudden ending ruins the otherwise sick outro (live version ftw)

 

[aaronjs]

best - To Bid You Farewell
worst - By The Pain I See In Others

 

[{-sapob-}]

Best - When
Worst - anything off orchid

 

[Anesthetize]

Not the best, exactly, but one of my favorites - Ghost of Perdition

The best is probably Wreath, and then right into Deliverance. Kicks my ass every time.

Best - April Ethereal
Worst - Watershed

 

[Windward]

I can't tell which ending I like the most, but I've always loved the endings of To Rid The Disease and Patterns In The Ivy II (especially that one).

 

[Chinese Whispers]

Not a fan of the 'secret' ending on 'By The Pain I See In Others'. Best ending...hmm... At the moment I'm thinking 'Face Of Melinda' when the distorted guitars kick and there is that big guitar melody.

 

[Noel]

Wasn't the outro from BTPISIO done by accident?

 

[Nasty-Fire]

It must not. Too many effects and such. Well maybe they put it there just for fun but they forgot to erase it!? Doubt so.

 

[Vamos]

Personally I do not count it as the end of BTPISIO.

 

[Noel]

I think I read in the Opeth web site that it was just an accident, that when they were listening to the final mixes it was in there but it was too late to do something about it, something like that, and I don't count it as an outro either, I never hear it anyway, I don't like waiting half an hour to hear an outro
