Blackwater Park: The song

[Protected Witness]

Highly underrated around here.

Crazy heavy. Mucho heavy. I've been learnin' that one on the guitar and man...ridiculous heavy.

Nice soft passages too...

Word to your mutha'...

And they should definetly add it to their live repertoire.

 

[Whoracle1]

I agree, one of their better songs.

 

[MetalManCPA]

That song, that album - great stuff all around.

 

[Nugent Goes AOL]

Amen to yo' father.

 

[Demonspell]

Blackwater Park is excellent...the transition from the proggy part back into the brutal riffery is a classic Opethian moment, as is the final verse...the sun sets forever!

Hmmm ... It's an alright song I suppose .. by any other band would be the best.
But Opeth have created much greater songs and albums by far....
I don't really listen to it anymore.. actually I never listen to it...
It was ok but it grew on me and then I was sick of it ...like many other albums by other bands .. but still life, morningrise and mayh grew on me and I still love em ...

What I mean is that the riffs are great .. everything is awesome but it's too ... in your face. And it didn't take me long to get into .. a few months and I was used to it and a bit sick of it .. I can put on still life and it still has the fresh feeling it gave me from the first listen ..

Just my opinion I guess

anyway, yes BWP is my favorite song off BWP, when thy come back in after the soft passage, that is such a captivating moment.

I take full responsibility, dancing hitler guy. Direct all insults at me.

Yup.

Yeah, I agree it's definitely underrated. That's my favorite on BWP. The end drives me crazy.

Yeah Blackwater Park was the song that got me into Opeth... although I've been listening to less of it since I've been getting into The Funeral Portrait and The Leper Affinity more lately... but yes, thanks for the mention, I think I'll go listen to it now... definately a song to be added to the live setlist (not that it matters to me since all their gigs are over 18 anyway).

[Schraiber]

I'd like it if it weren't a nu-metal song. Slap bass = nu-metal

 

[maximilian]

my first Opeth song too...sew to be a few people with that.
yeah it's a good song

 

[KielbasaSausage]

deliverance has slap bass in it...
