Is Opeth too sad?

[Slaydon]

Here are Opeth songs I don't find overly sad: Harvest, Benighted, Face of Melinda, April Ethereal, The Leper Affinity (it even brightens up in the end!), Patterns in the Ivy and the winner of them all Atonement.

^ Sad or violent then.

Depends if you talk lyrics-wise or musicwise, really.

Harvest, Face of Melinda, and April Ethereal are sad.

Benighted, Atonement and Patterns in the Ivy are... just mysterious, they show hope within sadness.

The Leper Affinity is just brutal, not sad, indeed. The point is that it's not happy at all.

do you find "in my time of need" sad? that's just happy all over

 

[Blackfield]

that's the reason y i don't like last 2 albums...too happy for me.i'd prefer the coldness of their previous album.

I meant the music. The musical vibe. All of their lyrics are gloomy and without hope.

^ Musicwise I agree. Don't do that stupid smiley again.

Yes. No.

Opeth is not sad. it's just depressive and melancholic, but not sad. not at all

If the greatest love of you life dies, come back here and we'll talk about it. I must know you definition of sadness, you must be a very happy person.

Well, opeth is a prog rock band with death metal influences. they focus on negative things in life in their music. i think "too sad" is not a good way to describe their music.
