How do you listen to Opeth?

:Smug: baked...

haha, best response yet!

I can listen to Opeth any time, anywhere. I wear headphones at work so I hear the music out of headphones a lot, but also at my cmoputer (the best speakers that I have available in my house), and in my car really fuckin' loud when I'm on a long trip.

Well now that I'm at college I listen to all my music on headphones. And I uaually like to finish an album just before going to bed. When I'm art home though I use my stereo at a moderate volume.

 

[Evan84]

usually in my car or on my pc

god this thread is shit too

I listen to Opeth with friends and head bang viciously.

See you guys there @ the Pavillion 10/30!

You live in the US, right? Don't you mean the Palladium? I'm going too, thought! See ya there

I enjoy listening to the "Damnation" CD when I'm driving in the middle of nowhere like in the country. I'm going to Las Vegas next week and I'm gonna take an afternoon and go for a drive in the desert. A great time to have "Damnation" playing.

As for the other records, I'll listen to "Blackwater Park" or "Deliverance" after I've had a crappy day at work...and I have had lots of those lately! Also have been playing "Ghost Reveries" often. Nothing like cranking "The Baying of the Hounds" after a lousy work day.

Usually while practicing guitar, I'll just choose an album and listen to it from start to finnish. Greaaat stuff.

anyway i listen to opeth i get as much enjoyment... except! night, alone, headphones, laying in the backyard, listening to the really intense songs like when, the drapery falls and bleak, thinking of nothing but the beauty of the music. highly recommended.

Fuck yeah dark night soft rain kicking back with MAYH blasting through my headphones as I stare out the window.

i'd say headphones don't let you feel the bass of the song if you don't have good headphones, and also you can't hear the details if your using headphones, but opeth rocks anytime... I often take a powernap for one hour at afternoons with Opeth playing at full volume... somehow i find opeth relaxing...

 

[DeviousDVO]

I think Opeth is prolly best on headphones so you can hear every little sound , but on occasion (like today) I like to blast them loud as fuck so all my neighbors can hear how fucking awesome they are - whether they want to or not

 

[Kenneth R.]

headphones, or the really huge stereo with the volume at 11

Normally when I'm first hearing or discovering an Opeth album, I'll give it my full attention. With Still Life this meant listening to it on a good set of headphones before bed. With Ghost Reveries it meant turning off the lights, cranking my studio monitors and blaring it through those, staring at nothing but darkness.

Now I mainly play their music whilst I'm playing Diablo 2 or something

DII was the shit - no it's all about WoW ;-).

 

[My Arms, Your Purse]

Diablo 2 made my finger hurt

i like listening to opeth when having intense sex, it makes it much better.

 

[Braighs]

On really good headphones. (My roomate can't stand death vox.)
But on the weekends when he is gone, its played as loud as my speakers can take it. This usually involves blasting it at 3:00 AM to drown out my suitmates when they come in drunk and playing dance music. ......

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

Just sitting down listening to it, or its even better on a ride in the car.

But when You're high, Blackwater Park sounds so different. Its like hearing it from a new perspective. I love it. Too bad I don't smoke anymore ..

With the volume turned down (jk)
