First off Deliverance kicks fucking ass. Stop comparing an album to a bands previous albums and start evaluating it for what it is. Damn, fuck, shit, fart, slurp! Give opeth a fucking break. What are they their own worst enemy? Fans forcing opeth to compete against themselves. To compete against their old material to recieve adjulation from you heathans? Stop fucking bitching and start enjoying the beauty which is opeth. This board is fool of arseholians. Mikael Akerfeldt puts his heart and his soul into his songs only to have pre pubescent pimple popping pea brains bash it at every angle. You don't like the album? Stfu about it. Do we need to hear you bitch about it in 25+ threads? Lordherpes seek a clinic, then seek some help. You're evidently brain dead. How can a person not like songs the caliber of deliverance and By the pain i see in others? Probably a person who is taking his teenage sexual frustration out on a message board. Your the equivalent of a typewriting terrorist. Did it ever cross your mind that there are people on this board that actually enjoy the album? We dont need Urkel's like you to rain on our parade. What's wrong with being a hardcore fan? You have to only appreciate a band half ass nowadays to be respected in the metal community? Is that it? If you become die hard and revolve most of your music listening and attention to one band you get flamed. What a sorry state this board has been lowered to. The only thing depreciating about Opeth is their fan base. And Lordhippo is prime example. Put down the fucking whopper and run around the block you fat fuck. I hope you succumb to the blistering herpes that infect you and die. You don't deserve to breathe, let alone type in the same presence as me and all my fellow opethians. Cry me a fucking river and then tie an anchor to your leg and jump in you sorry son of a bitch. Die a 1,000 deaths and get sodomized by stalin! In closing...Why don't you do what is says on my signature pic and "Fuck Off"!
