Not true man. After I heard Opeth, nothing else seemed worthwhile. It lastes that way for a long time, but eventually I came out of that phase and started to like many different types of music. But Opeth is still near the top...

Trapped your on a fucking Opeth forum,what do you expect, for people not to talk about Opeth?dude thats pretty fucking stupid.Of course members here are going to praise Opeth or what ever because there on a OPETH FORUM when are you going to realise this?If people here enjoy OPETH then let them be Why are you being such a cocksucker.And what is the big deal about talking positivly about a band even if its a little excessive. If you don't like the band then why the fuck are you here?and don't give me that"its just for the discussions"crap.There are many forums that you could go to.Where you could talk all the fuck you want,meanwhile have some fucking respect for people that enjoy the band.

Trapped just face it and accept the fact that your undying love is for Opeth,you know its true Trapped..you are just going through this denial right now.
Your going crazy Trap,you love Opeth so much that you hate them.Isn't that right Trapped! Oh come on Trapped just admit it,just do it,I know you can!

Ya, thats all i listen to is opeth. I always have blackwater park in my cd player, or another opeth cd. I have a collection of over 120 cds and all I listen to is opeth now. Sometimes I listen to alice in chains or somethin, just for a different variety, but then i quickly go back to opeth for a few more months haha.

"Produces better emotions" is funny. But, Trapped, are there any bands which produce more *purple* emotions than Opeth?

Fuck consensus reality
what can I say, I've been into metal for years and listened to quite a variety of metal before I picked up the Orchid CD back in '95. I must admit however that since that time, I've probably listened to more Opeth than anything else. For me, I go through phases. Kind of like a manic depressive (like their music) mode of devouring Opeth for months, than not listening to them at all for months.
Trapped, give us a break. Its not our fault that Opeth has the most 'mindshare' to some of us. For me, they invoke the most emotion of any band. Lets see, I've got BWP and Morningrise in the living room deck, Orchid in the bedroom and SL and MAYH in the car...I'm in devour Opeth mode as you can probably tell. Maybe its sad, maybe its a testament to their greatne... (insert additional gushy school girl text here)...
Opeth, you own me

Yeah, but you don't count, because you're a god-boy.
I didn't even realize that this became an arguament, but now that you've notified me of the fact.... right! You're fucked!
It is very sad if you limit yourself to opeth... for opeth isn't the end of the earth, opeth is not perfection. I like opeth alot, Still Life is never far from my player, but it is simply sad to think that someone is PURPOSELY missing out of some great music by limiting themselves due to blind love.
Now, to turn this into LESS of an arguament, i shall actually try to be helpful and constructive for once, as what this guy has said has really baffled me into odd confusion:
If you like the 'folk' element of Opeth, then you should check out:
Days of the new - Days of the new. Basically, Dotn I is metal on acoustic guitars, really cool DEEP stuff, really hard hitting and truthful lyrics. And what can i say about a man with a voice like this at the age of 16?? Jesus fucking christ! He has an amazing voice.
The Tea Party - Splendor Solis. Middle-Eastern tinged rock, kindof like an expansion and continuation of Led Zeppelin's Kashmere at times. At times, i guess you could say they are like Led Zeppelin, but with Jim Morrison on vocals, Jeff Martin has got an awesome voice, soooo deep.
Ulver - Kveldssanger. An ever changing black-metal outfit... guess what? The whole album is on acoustic guitars, 100% clean, and the vocals are amazing, ranging from gregorian-esque chanting, to instrumental harmonized ooh's and aah's.
In Flames - The Jester race. Mixing gothenburg metal with acoustic-folk passages, what can i say? Classy stuff.
If you like the many moods that opeth creates, then you should check out the following SONGS:
Dreadnaught - Flowers. This is my favourite song by ANY band. Ignore what the band is doing thesedays, and get this song. Totally amazing stuff, 100 times better than anything that opeth have ever done, mixing between acoustic/electric, and clean/growled, and he has a much better clean voice than mikael on early opeth.
Dimmu Borgir - Mourning Palace. Admittedly, i don't have much love for black-metal, but every time i hear this song, i understand what BM is about... and i actually catch myself growling, screaming and choking along in time with Shagrath's cat-squeals. Really, really moody song, and it goes through heaps of changes, not really a typical BM song.
Vast - Touched. I'm sure you've heard this song... it is the theme from 'Angel', very 'The Tea Party' actually. Folky/eastern rock. Really deep, sad stuff...
Strapping Young Lad - Room 429. A cover of the Cop Shoot Cop song... really awesome, intense is all i can say. Especially when he gets to the 'if living is for learning, then dying is forgetting' section.
Days of the new - Dancing with the wind. From Dotn III, this song is very close to the early style of the band, with typical Meeksian lyrics "If joy awakened the land, time would have no purpose."
More:
The Tea Party - Halcyon Days, Samsara, Alarum, Innana, Walk with me.
The doors/Days of the new - The end. The doors, but with Travis Meeks from Dotn on lead vox. OOooohhh... this is intense stuff. I love the original and morrison, but MAN can meeks groan.
There is more, but i'm only going to bother unless you are actually interested NovemberFrost, or any of you other 'Opeth Groupies' with an affinity for the leper of closed mindedness and lack of Musical Variety....!!

Trapped trapped trapped trap.Here you go again,when are you going to learn!Why do you stubbornly continue to misconcieve everything,are you like stupid or whats wrong with you I really want to know.
It has already been explained to you as to why some people go through an Opeth phase,why are so reluctant to understand that the obsession is only temperary its not a permenant thing.Kind of like when you buy a artist's cd that is really good and you listen to it for a long time and not much else due to the fact that you like it so much,Opeth is very much the same only the enjoyability lasts longer due to the diversity of the band,as you are aware,Opeth incorporate many elements into there music,they don't just stick with one style they have many,Mikael's vocals happen to be really good.both growled and clean,adding that much more to the band,so all this makes the listening experience really interesting and rejoicful because you have all this variety in one package you don't have to listen to several different bands to get what you desire.And I think this is the initial reason why people go through this long lasting Opeth phase due to the variety thats provided in just one disk, unlike many metal bands that only focus on certain elements.But don't get me wrong,I enjoy these bands as well,there great especially when your in a "specific"mood.
But Trapped do us all a big favor and stop being stupid,your really demonstrating this to all of us here.Stop being so reluctant to understanding what has been cleared here already. Many People here don't just like Opeth,there is many individuals here with very diverse tastes in music,many praise the band for the sake that this is a OPETH FORUM,meaning a forum that is suppose to be focused on the band, and because the band deserves such praise for being a high quality and original band,I mean if you really think about it, Opeth is one of the very few bands that is actually doing something distinct yet enjoyable and for this they deserve all the positive commentaries that they have been getting these past years.
So who cares if we talk about the band,it is a OPETH FORUM you know,and if we go a little on the excessive side its because many here do it for the respect of the forum.
