Black Rose Immortal: Just how many tomes have you listened to it?

[Morningrise]

Am I the only one that dosn't really LOVE Black Rose Immortal?

 

[Eld]

No - I think Black Rose Immortal is highly overrated and is only a mediocre 'song'.

 

[Alcapoth]

Black Rose Immortal is surely NOT AT ALL overrated! It is rightfully loved by the many Opeth fans around here - obviously, the song is a musical masterpiece and has so many fine moments that no other song will ever touch for quite some time....well, unless Opeth chooses to make an album back in their earlier, epic days.

I don't know how many times I've listened to it.... I'll just say a lot!

 

[Morningrise]

Sure it has its moments, but to me there are only a few, and it becomes a chore making it through 20 minutes of only ok material. I don't think it can be called a song, it is just scattered pieces placed together, kind of aggravating really...

Twice....because i dont actually like the song, dunno just cant get into it , sound a little flat and craply recorded.

sound quality on BWP album in general is far better and it has more layers to it.....imo

About 50 times maybe. It's THE Opeth song..

Just think, though...it's kinda like what you get with classical music, with it's many movements and such. Like the song Moonlight Sonata...various compositions. And, Opeth's BRI (and others off Orchid/Morningrise with their 11-14 min. length) is much like that...in the death/black metal style. It's just spectacular music to listen to....and all the parts go together nicely IMO, even though they are slightly broken up. It gives that epic, musical feeling which I can't describe.....


Of course, I'm not trying to change your mind....to each their own, I guess....

How many times I've listened to that?!?!?

How many times have you taken a shit? That much!

 

[random_phil]

I don't like listening to my favourite songs too much. I'm scared of getting bored of them, or that they lose their magic. I've still probably listened to BRI about 50 or 60 times though.

 

[JesterOfDeath]

I bought the album like 2 weeks ago, so i'd say around 12 times so far!

Quick math: the ones with 1000 listens, that's some full two weeks of your life.

Lordenlil, am I really seeing Chuck on your avatar? Totally cool.

 

[Lordenlil]

Correct, Vortex.
That would be the most metal person ever, Chuck
I kneel before the god of metal!
