I much prefer Songs Of Darkness...
I think that, as a band, MDB have made great strides over the years. Everything is tighter now, and the songs have a better feel. I miss the violin, but the atmospherics have come on far enough to make up for that IMO. However, it IS true that The Dreadful Hours is superior. Now THAT is just about a 10/10 album

I don't get how you can listen through a whole MDB album. it's good music, certainly, but whenever I'm listening to The Dreadful Hours or Turn Loose The Swans, after the first 2-3 songs I'm like "ok, but no I'm not killing myself, let's turn it off".
I guess I'm too old for the really depressing stuff...

Words can´t describe how beautiful that album is!!!!
I actually got into Jeff Buckley after hearing Katatonias version of 'Nightmares By The Sea' and wanting to hear the original version...
Jeff Buckley dying was one of the greatest losses in music! I just wonder what it would have developed into if he had kept making his (again, in lack of words) beautiful music....
Highly recommended:
Rapture - Silent Stage (Spikefarm) Really fucking beautiful too!
A Darkness Coming
i am nothing
some of the metal heads i know think that opeth is false metal or untrue metal they ar close minded idiots after all

I don't believe age has anything to do with it, I'm not a teenager myself anymore... At least for me these kinds of things go in cycles. Sometimes I listen to light/electronic/synthesizer/ambient stuff (for example) for months and sometimes something different. Now I've been on a dark metal trip for a while (again
)

Ah well... That depends if the band is trying to be metal or not... I mean, if a band is trying to be metal and what they release is metalcore, then yeah, its pretty bad... But I agree with what you're saying; metal is most definitely not the only good genre of music out there.

but...But what if I make a record that's sort of folk-rock-blues and I declare it's a folk record? Is it bad because it's not "folk" but it's "trying to be folk?"
Ask Bob Dylan about that one ...

Hope Of The States - 'The Lost Riots'
I suppose you would call them a fusion of British stlye indie music, post-rock and epic, lush textures. Sort of an indie-rock band with string arrangements. Not metal in any way whatsoever. At first, many may dislike Sam Heriley's singing voice intensely, I know I did (think Billy Corgan and Liam Gallaghers bastard love child). But once I got past that, I personally couldn't ever find fault with this record. It contains most of my favourite songs. It has an emotional sensibility to it that I haven't ever heard captured on record anywhere else. My personal top album of all time, I expect probably about 1 other person on this forum might like it, but I can't reccommend it enough, I truely can't
Tori Amos - Any, but if I had to pick one, I might go for 'From The Choirgirl Hotel'
This one is probably her proggiest release to date. While her songwriting has always been exceptional, here marks the point where she made a 100% coherent actual album. From spiralling madness (Spark), to poignant, moving ballads (Playboy Mommy), to super chilled out vibes (Liquid Diamonds
Anathema - 'A Fine Day To Exit'
Most of us probably know this record, and I know that it isn't to the taste of some. But I think that this is the record that features their most mature and insightful songwriting to date. It covers all moods and emotions in the musical spectrum (to my ears), while remaining in the trademark Anathema vein. Brilliant from the first note to the last. And 'Temporary Peace' is just the most beautiful closer ever...
Portishead - 'Dummy'
The mother of all trip-hop records, here Barrow, Utley and Gibbons took the use of samples to the next level. And how did they do this? By creating songs that were simply and unmistakeably their own from them. In addition to this beacon of creative genius... 'Roads' is possibly the most beautiful song I ever heard in my entire life
Strapping Young Lad - 'Alien'
Some of you may be thinking 'Wtf, how is THAT a 10/10 record?' And I can see where you may come from with this. At first, I found the whole thing just too incoherent to really give it a chance. Gradually, however, it all began to make a sort of gloriously fucked up sense to my ears. Everything on this record fits perfectly. To me, it's the perfect encapsulation of frustration, anger, violence and rage, all on one disc. I listen to this album more often than any other in my collection. It just never tires for me. And oh yeah, Gene Hoglan is a GOD
Honestly, from my point of view, I can find literally no faults with these albums. I might add more later, but those stick out in my head right now...
Considering your method of formating. You seem like the type of person that could create a nice resume.
