Opeth Song Tournement: Round 1

[changso]

Well some of you may think that these contests are becoming somehow redountant but I think it's always interesting to see the taste progression...

anyway, you know the rules, here it goes...

In Mist She Was Standing vs Advent
The Night And The Silent Water vs Under The Weeping Moon
Patterns In The Ivy vs Requiem
The Moor vs Black Rose Immortal :Smokedev:
Benighted vs Face of Melinda
Forest of October vs The Leper Affinity
The Funeral Portrait vs The Amen Corner
Madrigal vs Moonlapse Vertigo
Karma vs Serenity Painted Death
Nectar vs Godhead Lament
Pattern In The Ivy 2 vs Credence
Still Day Beneath the Sun vs Dirge For November
White Cluster vs The Twilight Is My Robe
To Bid You Farewell vs Harvest
The Apostle In Triumph vs Demon of the Fall
When vs The Drapery Falls
Blackwater Park vs April Ethereal

 

[Morningrise]

Nice one Smekermann. I also like your "U Giev Soj???//" thing, I have heard that sooo many times haha. This was recently done changso, I don't think many will be willing to do it again.

 

[changso]

bah, nobody ask you to do it and I will not!

 

[Morningrise]

Sometimes, you can't help but scam stupid people....

 

[Alcapoth]

Woah, dudes...you really don't have to be such complete, utter assholes about it. I mean shit! It's a thread....a thread in which you don't have to post in making a mockery of one's ideas. What are we now, 2 years old or somethin'?

Now, others may gladly wish to take part in it (as difficult it may be for some to make choices, like for me) and see how others' opinions vary....I mean, what's the big deal? Who cares if its been done before? We have 2 new songs, don't we?


Anyway, now that I got that out of the way, I'll try to give this a shot, even though I'm not the BIGGEST fan of pitting Opeth's songs against each other.... But, it's all in fun....

In Mist She Was Standing
The Night and the Silent Water
Requim
Black Rose Immortal
Benighted
Forest of October
The Amen Corner
Moonlapse Vertigo (obviously...heheh)
Karma
Nectar
Credence
Dirge for November
Twilight is my Robe
To Bid you Farewell (ahhh....so difficult!)
The Apostle in Triumph (another one....oi!!!)
(these two were already taken up above)**
The Drapery Falls (man...another toughie!)
April Ethereal (FINALLY....an easy one!)

Phew....glad that's over! Lots of tough choices, but I managed to give it my all. I think I'm overall satisfied with the list.....

** the "Karma vs Forest of October" is in error. Both songs are already included. Also, Bleak is missing from the list.

 

[changso]

Thanks Alcapoth for your kind support...I also despise all these mean, unkind and wicked comments.

Thanks fainéant to let me know about these littles mistakes.

 

[Morningrise]

Whos the 2 year old here? I didn't say anything rude to changso...fuck

By the way, if you don't want to participate, then don't. There's no need to lash out at others. The presence of this thread does not hurt you or anyone else so I don't see why you should complain about it.
