Definitive Opeth?

[{**9**}*CaptainQuark*]

OK, OK – so there have been polls about Opeth songs before, but this one is slightly different.

Of all the Opeth songs on all the Opeth albums, which song do you think defines what Opeth are all about? It doesn't have to be your particular favourite.

Don't agree with the ones I've posted in the poll? Then tell us which one you would nominate and why.

 

[osse87]

Easily The Drapery Falls or The Moor. Which one I don't know

 

[Blackwater_Park]

Not in list...
My favorite one is "Serenity Painted Death"...
The composotion is so dark, and cold...
Have tipical Death Metal riffs, and beatyful clean vocals, the better guitar solo of the world !
And his lyric is soooooooooo fucking obscure...

Karma is another excellent one !

 

[The Evil Toucan]

April Ethereal.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

i think godhead's lament is the most avarage (in a positive way) of these.

 

[Jon Snow]

godhead's lament covers all of their sounds very well

 

[RookParliament]

The Moor

 

[Moonstruck]

Either The Moor or Serenity Painted Death.

 

[taken by the reaper]

i honestly cant really choose one...but for the old style Opeth, it'd be In Mist she was Standing or Demon of the Fall...and for the new style Opeth it'd be Bleak or Deliverance...

in between the extremes would have to be The Moor

 

[dorian gray]

opeth are all about making money and thats not on the list....

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

Godhead's Lament - Nice heaviness, with soaring vocals and guitar work that just lifts everything about the song up above all else, which to me is pretty much what Opeth do.

Honourable Mention for Black Rose Immortal, Master's Apprentices and Deliverance

 

[x3x opeth x2x]

thats one big wang^ did ur mom used to have to sew you three legged pants?

 

[dorian gray]

aside from money and paychecks, april ethereal defines opeth. it was their first hit on the billboard top 100.

 

[MasterOLightning]

The Leper Affinity.

 

[Nico]

opeth are all about making money and thats not on the list....

Hahahaha, keep trying dorian, I'm sure there's someone who will take you seriously

 

[Shadows Skulk]

When, or The Leper Affinity

 

[Dreadful]

The Moor, Twilight is my Robe, Blackrose Immortal, When, Leper Affinity...christ you left out alot.

 

[Draehl]

Blackrose Immortal or The Moor

 

[{**9**}*CaptainQuark*]

The Moor, Twilight is my Robe, Blackrose Immortal, When, Leper Affinity...christ you left out alot.

WAKEY WAKEY, DUDE!

There's a limit to the number of options in the poll. I picked 2 examples of what I consider to be the defining tracks off each album and posted them. I've had to miss out LOADS gr8 tracks, which is why the final option is "None of the above…"

It's hard, but out of that list it would probably be 'The Drapery Falls' even though I don't think the song is as formidable as the rest of the catalogue. It has all the Opeth dynamics, with a touch of experimentation to finish. It's pretty much the Opeth style and format personified in a song.
