Opeth on a scale of 1 to 10

[Longinus]

The problem is, Iridium, a human being is incapable of putting himself/herself into your position due to the lack of intelligence inside your head. Hence, he or she assumes you are being funny or sarcastic or whatever.

Trying to refute your points is unfortunately impossible since you are an idiot and insist on your stupidity.

This, in particular, was a great laugh:

- no power, speed, anger, etc. during the harsh parts, thus making no sense? check

Given the fact that you seem to like the atmosphere Burzum creates, this doesn't surprise and, as previously stated, tells me not to debate with you. Because, as a human being, I want to be productive as possible. I am also quite hedonist. Too bad I'd only be wasting my time with you and I'd have no fun debating with an idiot.

I have much better things to do like..listening to 12:5!

 

[Iridium]

If you don't wish to debate, get out of this thread - your opinion of me is irrelevant to this thread and to me. With your previous post, you have also proven yourself a complete moron incapable of anything but puerile name-calling.

Would anyone like to refute my points?

This board gets worse and worse everyday. I wish I could have my membername deleted and have my IP number banned just to resist the temptation to come back on here and look at stuff.

i was thinkin the same thing

 

[Iridium]

Yeah. It just isn't the same when people actually have differing opinions.

 

[Hulk Hogan]

just PM MetalAges and he will do it

 

[zeroMaximum]

yeah, this board gets me kind of bored (heheheeeeeee... :| ), everybodys just trying to outsmart each other by saying really fancy poetic things, and arguing about someone elses opinion is just stupid.

anyway, opeth and katatonia are my favorite bands, so i'd like to give 10/10. cant help it, im voting how i feel.

 

[Longinus]

Your points are based on pure ignorance. How could anyone possibly refute them without ending up talking to a wall?

Look, let me try:

-What exactly makes them pretentious? I admit they have very few pretentious lines in their songs. Then again, which poet doesn't?

-Horribly long. Oh yes, because you don't like the music!

-How do they intend to create confusion?

-How in the world did they fail at creating a great hybrid between soft and clean parts? That's so f****** stupid. Then again, that's subjective, eh.


-
- simple, structured segments spliced together (badly) hundreds of times, creating both a predictable and an original (albeit shitty) style?

Okay.
Why do they do that? To accompany the lyrics accurately.

As for the predictability: Of course one can predict that there are softer, as well as harder passages in a song. That doesn't make them predictible though.
You stated it yourself, even though you worded it a bit different, you don't know what turns the music takes within a song. Is knowing that this happens really saying that they are predictable?
Please.

- horribly long, repetitive to the point of nausea?

Again, how is it repetitive if they are all throwing in ''random, pathetic passages'' all the time? Actually, I'd call it diverse. If you don't like the riffs, too bad.

- smug, pretentious lyrics with decent imagery, but only a superficial meaning?

This is again your ignorance brabbling crap.

The fact that their music doesn't appeal to you leads you to deny their other talents obviously. Thus making you a moron.

As for your whining in the previous post:
If you wish to debate about something, use rationality. That was my point.

Think about your choice of words, maybe. That'd be a start.

 

[Longinus]

Alternatively read the posts of the previous do-gooders.
A debate about emotions is completely pointless. We could debate measurable talent, though.

 

[Ermz]

Enough. This bickering has undermined (the somewhat crude) intention of the thread.

If you guys wish to continue the debate in a civilised manner, then feel free to make a new thread.
