New Opeth album and track titles revealed

[MadTinus]

Same here, GR had a very happy feeling to it.

"a very happy feeling"??

 

[Bleak Eyes]

The mellow tracks on GR is so different from the older ones so its obviously very fresh,inspiring and motivated music and do not follow any pattern.
If they did Benighted or Harvest all over again then I would agree with you, but they dont.

I understand what you are saying. I was trying to say that them just putting mellow tracks on their album in general seems like they are just putting mellow songs because it is what they do. I agree that the mellow tracks on the album are a lot different from ones before, which is good in a way.

Then you absolutely dont understand what im saying, or dont agree?

Ok maybe not "very happy", but happy compared to the older. That was the first thing that struck me when listening to GR and I didnt like it at all.
Mike said himself that he think it might have had something to do with him beeing in a very happy period in his life, with his kid and all that I guess.

 

[Brave.Archangel]

it really baffles me why people hate GR
probably cuz "oMGz they sold outz"

 

[nizzon]

I love GR.

 

[Phoenix5]

I don't think they sold out, but I really didn't like the addition of the keys all that much. There are some spots that it was really cool, but otherwise I didn't really like them.

 

[stefan86]

I thought the keys added more of a cartoonish feeling really, especially Beneath the Mire

Ha, ok.

I also love Ghost Reveries. The mellow tracks just don't stand out like they had on previous albums.

Yeah, the keys were something that initially turned me off to the album.

 

[griev0r]

Ha, ok.

I kinda agree here. I really never liked Atonement that much and Hours of Wealth is ok but Isolation Years is one of the most heart wrenching songs I have ever listened to.

Pretty much what turned me off...There are some great songs on there, but it just annoyed me.

Exactly. I couldn't figure out how to put it.

Jonas comment on Mickes blog:

It sounds like Repulsion's "Horrified" album with violins and the sound of a small river/ditch.

Rawk!

I dont know about you guys but im going out to the nearest ditch right now, cant wait to hear what it sounds like...

Well Ghost of Perdition is an excellent song, no need for discussion on that. Reverie/Harlequin Forest has grown on me and has some great parts. Could do without the ending jam though. Beneath The Mire and The Baying of The Hounds always turned me off though. Also, Grand Conjuration is the most interesting mix of fantastic and not so fantastic parts I've ever heard.

 

[nizzon]

But... The Baying of The Hounds is amazing!? You fail!
3:20-6:30 is like magic!..
The adrenalinerush from 5:30-6:30 makes you go :hotjump:
The whole song is just incredible imo.

 

[i aint play this]

GR destroys

Baying Of The Hound is the best song on GR!

 

[Master`s Aprentice]

the outro of harlequin forest makes you feels you are in the woods surrounded by fire
the chorus of isolation years is.....
the drums of ghost of perdition are the best i have heard on opeth
