new opeth

on topic: i thought the new songs were okay.

I never liked Opeth much to be fair, but these are thoroughly decent.

Well, I'm sorry to inform you but your opinion is wrong.

Agreed, everything pre-Ghost Reveries completely original! Name me one band whose written a song remotely close to The Drapery Falls?

I liked the addition of keys in the Lamentations DVD because they were subtle, and Per has a good voice to back up mike's. But then GR went completely overboard IMO. So far, from the 3 songs I've heard, the style is much better than GR, but still lacks the charm of the BWP/Still Life era (not excluding the other albums, but I like these the best.

The thing I loved about everything pre Deliverance was that there was a flow to the album. Although Deliverance "delivers" (pun intended) some awesome tunes, it didn't flow. Same with everything that came after it (where damnation was just a cd with songs, not one complete work). I'm interested to see what The Watershed will provide.

And one more thing, I'm not sure if it's on this thread or in the opeth forum, but the Watershed is SUCH an Opeth name for an album.

new Opeth?
I cant fucking wait, such an awesome band. Probably the best band, period.

 

[Swabs]

Still Life > All.

They will never top Morningrise, specifically Night and the Silent Water.

FINALLY some truth!

Where are these new Opeth songs at? I am very curious.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Kerrazy Torrents, nigga.

Hell, they need to cut the songs down to under 6 minutes and stop having acoustic breakdowns for the sake of acoustic breakdowns. In fact, they need to drop the progressive bullshit altogether and stick with more traditional song structures.

we have enough of those bands already

BTBAM has already stole all the amazing progressive riffs.

None of which sound anything like Opeth except perhaps Farmakon. Dragging songs out past ten minutes doesn't make Opeth original, it makes them fucking stupid. Same with Communic, and Moonsorrow. It leads to damn inconsistent content.

[ShadowsWithin]

wow.... I didn't think I'd be suddenly supporting them... but the new album is really good.... You'd think they'd repeat older stuff, but they go into newer shit, exploring new stuff while keeping their old sound.

Quite good indeed!

Link?

you werent only talking about songlength. i agree to a certain extend with you in that point. some songs are too long especially on ghost reveries and deliverance (the song)
