Still Life > Deadwing > Damnation... everything by opeth>MAYH

blah blah, everyone is entitled to their subjective opinion, but c'mon...to say BWP, D1 are better than MAYH, just....doesn't make sense in my brain. i truly think MAYH is their best release, but SL is close....

i just dont know how people can hate mayh
 
MAYH is one of thier better releases. Here's my rating system: Morningrise(the best), MAYH, BWP, Orchid, D2, D1, SL(the worst). There. I guess opinions are like assholes and everyone's got one of both.

1. the production is probably what's causing you to think this... there is liberal use of that "spacey clean" guitar effect, i think i know what you mean. also the martins could have been a little more creative laying down some rhythm

2. that's a pretty bold statement. i didn't know what you meant without going and listening to the song 4 minutes in. apparently i don't have enough "draw on this record"

3. damnation does not sound like poo. you're being overcritical because you've convinced yourself that the band is in a downward spiral



1. the production is great actually. organic, but still everything is audible and nothings overproduced. in fact, the production being close to most modern progressive and psychadelic records being made was one of the first positive things i noticed when i first heard it.

2. many people have reffered to this part as the "evil circus or carnival" music section...the fact that you didnt know...really isnt neither here nor there.

3. damnation DOESNT sound like poo. the spoken word vocals on ONE track sound like poo, read what i said. i think the band is actually going to release their best record to date in a few months....that kinda shoots a hole in your "downward spiral" theory about me doesnt it?

in other words....stfu

MAYH and SL are tied for the #1 spot.
 
Has anyone noticed that 'Mellotron Scratch' sounds almost exactly as if it were lifted from Damnation except for the harmonised vocals.

I'd be totally shocked if Opeth were able to make another album as distinctive and yet versatile and powerful as Still Life.
However, if that were to pass then I would be able to sucessfully argue that Opeth are the greatest band ever, as I can't really think of a band that peaked twice. :D :p :grin:
 
@NineFeetUnderground: What the fuck are you even talking about? Hippy? 'Koom-by-ah chanting faggot farm'? Did you even read what I said? Also, I know I'm welcome to 'scream and degrade you for your tastes', but why would I? No, I'm not a 'hippy' and I'm not trying to turn this place into a 'faggot farm' (that has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen here, by the way), but at the same time, it really makes no sense to do what you're doing: being a fucking dickhead for no reason.

there you go!! thats what im talking about. lets all get nuts and whiney! woohoo


no but seriously....i was laughing the whole time i was writing that post...i didnt mean for it to be taken seriously...but the fact that it made you lash out...makes it all worth while.;)
 
Mantraschism said:
Well, it wouldn't have been surprising if you had been serious. It's hard to tell just by reading what someone wrote, you know. But whatever, this is stupid. You've had your fun, so I won't try to argue with you anymore. It's not serious anyway, eh?

only took you about 4 times posting to figure it out. someone bring this man some cake.
 
Mantraschism said:
Yeah, you're done.


done? i was here before you were, and ill be here after you are. you cant stop me...nor would i ever dream of listening to you champ.

but thanks for trying.


i would like to ask though...who are you anyway? you decide to start posting here one day, and think everyones going to fall at your feet? not very realistic...
 
Mantraschism said:
Well shit, someone 'bring this man some cake' for being unstoppable on an internet forum!

he claims "im done"...yet he cant resist replying to my posts...odd.

im surprised you have time, with your busy schedule of shaking the metal world to its score.
 
What does it matter who I am? I may as well ask who you are. I post here, same as you, and I'm not exactly new. I'm usually on the Katatonia board, but this isn't my first posting experience here -- just the first one where I've interacted with you. And no, I don't expect people to 'fall at my feet' -- where you get that idea I have no clue. I never asked for people's respect (much less yours) around here -- all I did was disagree with you. End of story.

Edit: Actually, since you began this debate when you replied to my original post, it would appear that you can't stop replying to me. I think we're probably both just bored enough to keep this going. =P
