opeth on the front page of NY Times Website???

[Lier in Wait]

it's cool one... NYT is one of my fave news papers

 

[jester00]

omfg!

i cant believe how cool that was.


unfortunately they missed alot of the beautiful side of opeth and

concentrated on the heavy shit.

but i still cant believe a "pop critic" loved it!

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Im so fucking proud of them that Im glowing

 

[TrevJ]

Well, there's something I never expected to happen. Methinks the guy must've had at least a slight interest in metal prior to hearing the CD though.

 

[jester00]

yeah i reckon so.


if i was a pop critic and had never liked metal proir to hearing this i think i would have wet my pants

 

[Nefilim]

Hmm, this is the only image i found on the frontpage... is this really Opeth?

Wow, just to show how monumental this is, check out the other albums that get Album Showcase

http://www.nytimes.com/ref/arts/albumshowcase.html

I'm fuckin proud as fuck for the guys too! Way to go! You deserve everything you get!

 

[Demonspell]

Fitting that when a major newspaper gets wind of Opeth, it happens to be the one known for sophisticated readership...

Well, I can't fully appreciate the comment on "cookie cutter" vocals, hehe, but this definitely interesting exposure.

 

[Speedkill]

He said "Cookie Monster"

Yes, this is good. This rag reaches a huge segment of people so diverse demographics will have the chance to be exposed to the greatness. I am especially glad this appeared after reading the former albums that were also reviewd in this section of the magazine.
