Opeth - Ghost Reveries

[Spruce Goose]

Anyone pick it up yet? I have avoided downloading it and it came out yesterday. Just went to Sanity and Borders and neither had it. Sanity are'nt getting it at all unless I order it... Funilly enough, the guy in line ahead of me ordered it.. but I didn't. 2 weeks. Fuck that.

Borders had it ordered and should have got it yesterday, but didn't come

 

[Sydo]

I've had it for about a month. Downloading is stealing.
A decent album and a welcome return to form following the Damnation/Deliverence rubbish.

 

[Kem]

Opeth have a new album?

Whoops.

 

[KoichCPA]

Don't rush out and buy it.

 

[Spruce Goose]

But I like Opeth

Sydo... I thought Damnation was fantastic. Deliverance had some awesome songs like Wreath, A Fair Judgement and the title track, but you're probably right that it isn't in the same league as Blackwater Park, Still life or My arms.....

But you should give damnation another go.

 

[Icarus]

I didnt even realise they had a new album out either. Oh well!

The heavy album was ok. Which one was that? Deliverance? The other one was pretty boring though. I dont really listen to opeth anymore. Too busy listening to Danger Danger, Harem Scarem and Talisman

 

[Spruce Goose]

Damnation - Soft
Deliverence - Heavy

Oh... Masters Apprentice is kick ass too.... Infact, what the hell is wrong with Deliverence?

 

[Spruce Goose]

This is the first one for a while that Steven Wilson hasn't been a part of so I'm pretty interested in hearing it.... Its supposed to be heavy from what i have heard about it

 

[Icarus]

Who is Steven Wilson? Producer?

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah... He produced from Blackwater Park onwards. Played some of the keys on Damnation and Deliverence too I think and helped a bit with the arrangments.

He is also the singer/guitarist/pianist and songwriter for Porcupine Tree

 

[Sydo]

But I like Opeth

Sydo... I thought Damnation was fantastic.

I thought it was a bit boring, but I might try again. I was always waiting for a heavy bit to come crashing through to break the monotony..



Better acoustic albums;
12:5
Book Of Shadows (Zakk Wylde)
One Live Night (Dokken)
My Kung Fu Is Good
Kiss - MTV Unplugged.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Its not an acoustic album though..... It is mellow, but there is plenty of electric guitars and solos and shit.

12:5

I like POS

 

[Sydo]

It is mellow, but there is plenty of electric guitars and solos and shit.

Not enough though. Just wait to you hear Zakk bang out the solo at the end of Sold My Soul and you'll understand..

 

[Sydo]

I will give Damnation another listen though.. I remember enjoying some of it.

 

[Spruce Goose]

I think I have book of shadows lying around at home somewhere.... Never given it a listen. Might do so now thouh=gh

 

[Sydo]

never ever?

 

[Spiff]

I saw a few copies at JB Hi-Fi today. I didn't know they had a new one either.

I didn't buy it though, because Opeth no longer interest me.

 

[Kem]

Damnation and Deliverance were both quite decent I thought.

 

[The Amazer]

There's heaps at JB Hi-Fi in the city in Adelaide. $21.99.

I AINT GETTING IT.

 

[Sydo]

Damnation and Deliverance were both quite decent I thought.

You know Kem, you're right. They aint bad at all. I just like to stir..
But certainly they don't compare to well with either Blackwater Park or My Arms Your Hearse. I'm not really even the biggest Opeth fan, but I do love those albums.
