I came.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Fucking awesome cover, I can't believe how good it is actually.

 

[Luann]

I had a weird dream last night about dinosaurs dancing...and they were listening to Opeth!

those dancing dinousars rules

 

[Darkfloyd400]

Very Nice. Odd to think Mike wasn't happy with it.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Yeah I don't get it. What's not to be happy about?

Ok, just got it from itunes and heard it...I love Alice in Chains and obviously Opeth too...my first impression is that it's ok, but I guess Layne Stayley is a VERY hard guy to cover/interpret,whatever you want to call it..and Mike's vocals don't seem to quite work here...just my view.

Take into account that just about everything I post about Opeth is positive!...this just doesn't quite work imo...it may grow on me.

 

[hexwind]

^yeah.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Not that bad, Mikael said it "doesn't do justice to the orginal" but what the heck, a good cover.

 

[mexicola]

Very Nice. Odd to think Mike wasn't happy with it.

I think he just thought it was too close to the original.

 

[Para Bellum]

I'd have to say it doesn't quite live up to the original. Not as raw as I would have hoped. But it is nonetheless very good. I think perhaps they could have chosen a better song? Layne is definitely a tough vocalist to match...

I like it more, I see like a more modern version of the song, mikael used notes that the original didn't had, the song now has good solos, etc
Still it's like weird to hear them doing this song.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

I'm somewhat disappointed that they replaced the long chorus part after the solo (into the flood agaaaaiiinnnn, same old trip it was baaaaaaaaaack then), with a longer solo bit. Hearing Mike singing that would have been pretty awesome.

 

[Lothlorien]

good lord, opeth's best cover yet IMO.

 

[Lightbulb Sun]

amazing cover.

That was great! No one can ever recreate Layne and we all know Mikael's style is nothing like Layne's, but they managed to make this song sound great. Original is still slightly better though, IMO.

 

[Rogue Eagle]

good shit. Whole song sounds pretty cool except end :-D

 

[Silent Dance With Death]

Wow.

That cover sounds beautiful.
