By The Pain I See In Others

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Who thinks this song is underrated? It's the highlight of Deliverance for me. The "Rise to submission" part is awesome, especially the first and fourth times (with the crazy double bass). I also like the part at about 8:15 and the heavy part afterwards.

I know Mikael really dislikes this song, although I'm not sure why. I'd love to see them play this live, but I doubt it'll happen.

It's definitely one of my least favorite Opeth songs. I do like the intro though. heh

 

[Pantagruel]

Definitely underrated, its an awesome evil song. Not one of the best songs on Deliverance, but the whole album is a masterpiece imo so that doesn't say much.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

It's not the worst song ever done, that award goes to Eternal Soul Torture, but it's not one of my favorites either.

 

[tchocky]

It is probably one of Opeth's worst. That meaning that it's pretty good by other bands standards, but for Opeth it's not anything to call home about. It starts off all right, but it just tends to drag. Too long in my opinion.

 

[Slayer101]

The weakest on Deliverance imo

 

[Adramelech2012]

better than 3/4 of watershed songs

I like it, it's not their best, and it's quite strange, but I think it makes a good end to that album. I always wonder if they'd be able to pull it off live, but I guess if Mikael doesn't like it he wouldn't want to anyway.

Great song. But I hate the fact that it's hated by so many. I think I remember Mike posting here one time saying that he'd consider doing it live some time and said it would be a challenge or something.

BTPISIO ranks very high in my list of Opeth favorites. It gets so much hate yet I find it to be a really good song.

Hey that's my thread !!!

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

I just don't understand why so many people think it's bad. If any track on Deliverance deserves the "bad" award, it's Wreath.

 

[xDetonatorx]

My statement from the last thread stands. It's pure bad emotion and low self esteem put into song form. When your mood fits it, the song is brilliant.

 

[staveoffzombies]

I've always liked it...it wasn't until I started lurking this forum where I discovered it was generally disliked.

 

[Godhead59]

I think it's probably Opeth's worst song, and their only really bad one. Let's just say it's the only Opeth songs that, when it comes up in my playlist, I press the next button.

^What about Eternal Soul Torture?

Also, you forgot a comma between Hans Zimmer and the Eagles.

I try to Ignore Eternal Soul Torture and Into the Frost of Winter
I consider them B-sides at best.
And about that sig - yeah I should replace it anyway, it's been through some changes I guess.

They cannot even be considered that, they were not meant to be released in the first place.
