BLEAK....indeed

[MegaMoose]

Cookies are good.

 

[Nomansvally]

Bleak comes close to the very best music of Opeth's. Excellent variations within the song and by all means perfect display of vocal-power by Åkerfeldt and Wilson!

 

[chomps]

Bleak is good. Wreath is probably Opeths worst song. It's terrible.

Oh, taste again...

It's strange that you think that about such a grand song! I myself think it's EPIC!
Such great sounds... and Lopez' lovely playing on the bells of the cymbals...! Fantastic music - so inspiring!

 

[chomps]

Haha yeah. I'm sure we all have an Opeth song that we don't particularly like. But theres bound to be someone who thinks it's their best song.

 

[Jon Snow]

I think Wreath is one of the best songs on D1.

 

[Tubbs]

It pisses me off when people mention songs off Deliverance in a negative way. Always.

Deliverance is my favorite Opeth album, and Wreath is one of my favorite songs (Master's Apprentices is my #1 favorite)

- but don't start an argument

 

[chomps]

Don't mean to start an argument. Personally, Deliverance isn't that great in my opinion. Each song is still pretty good. I just don't like Wreath.

People have different opinions. Get over it.

but the one song I can't listen to is Godhead's Lament. That first riff annoys the hell out of me... :hotjump:

Dude, you've gotta be joking. 99% of the people here would put Godhead's in their top 5, I'm sure. The first riff could be better maybe, but after that the song is as good as it gets.

 

[chomps]

The first riff in that song is pretty annoying. It's one song on still life that I would skip if I wasn't so lazy. Unfortunately, it takes ages before the song gets any better.

truth

the whole song is amazing, nothing wrong with the first riff

 

[BurningSky]

Godhead's lament = top 3 opeth song ever

I will admit that the opening riff isn't the greatest, but christ does the rest of the song make up for it and much more.

 

[Lyude]

Bleak is a good track, but I prefer Death Whispered a Lullaby, Weakness or maybe Deliverance...

Holy hell, you named my two least favorite opeth tracks! Deliverance is ok i guess.

 

[chomps]

This thread has turned into "least favourite Opeth song".
Keep it up.

 

[Ganza]

Returning to the original topic, Bleak is an amazing song.

I think the vocals of both Mikael and Steven are amazing, and the lyrics are very poetic. I like the music quite a lot.

When compared to The Lepper Affinity however....

It's just not good enough

I was just kiddin'. I respect everyone's opinion.

- hooray I'm not an asshole!
