Black Rose Immortal

[JayKeeley]

The last half of that song could be some of the finest ten minutes to come out of the 90's.

That is all.

 

[NAD]

Bah.

 

[Demonspell]

While I would consider Advent to be the definitive early Opeth song, this one definitely represents the peak of Mikael's ambition...and it arguably has the best acoustic passages of any Opeth song.

 

[Black Winter Day]

yuo are teh korrect

but... night and the silent water = teh best opeht song!!1

 

[J.]

pffft

Forest of October>The Apostle in Triumph>every other Opeth song

 

[bloodfiredeath]

my cat howling in the morning waking me up to be fed > every Opeth song

 

[JayKeeley]

I sense the ulcer diminishing...

 

[NAD]

last track on Damnation (which sucks) > Morningrise

 

[Dark One]

Easily. A true marriage of beauty and brutality, the epic and the intimate, the silent mourning and the primal scream from the bowels of hell. No other Opeth song moves me quite like this one.

The other 50 minutes are pretty cool too.

 

[Dark One]

last track on Damnation (which sucks) > Morningrise

Hmmm......... here's a little something from Philly for ya....... "Booooooooooo!"

That's amazing how you feel that way about it and yet it's simply the greatest album I've ever heard. That's what I love about the subjective nature of music. No matter how you look at it, no two persons' tastes are alike.

That's Akerfeldt's LEAST favorite Opeth song from what I understand.

Right. I mean, just look at Wayland Smithers.

Great songs, but The Twilight is My Robe is the best from Orchid to these ears.

I know, and I still absolutely adore your review of it too! Eh, I'm just really hard on that album, I'd probably give it a 6 or 7/10 if I had to rate it. It is easily my least favorite Opeth though.

 

[Dark One]

Right. I mean, just look at Wayland Smithers.

You know, I STILL have no idea who that guy is. Obviously we hung out in Cleveland, but I guess I was just too damn drunk for 72 straight hours.

Morningrise > Primar Fear parties, even NAD can admit that

 

[JayKeeley]

So Dark One - you have the DVD right?

Thx dude, that's cool. You know, I'll bet you first heard Opeth after the onset of the My Arms, Your Hearse era. Am I right?

 

[NAD]

Morningrise > Primar Fear parties, even NAD can admit that

Shit yeah, and I've never even heard Poopin' Fear!

 

[Dark One]

So Dark One - you have the DVD right?

Yep, expect 5 of those songs to be in the setlist Friday.

Very cool DVD, I love the studio sessions portion. Great interviews and insight into the production and songwriting processes.

I think.... hmm. I think Still Life had just come out when I picked up Morningrise, my first Opeth. If I remember correctly that is. Okay, ranking time:

1. Still Life
1. Deliverance
2. Blackwater Park
3. My Arms, Your Hearse
4. Damnation
5. Orchid
6. Morningrise
