Opeth: Watershed

[Liquid Tension]

Still Life > all other Opeth albums

Indeed it is....

Wow... Not that much of an Opeth fan so I had no clue...
Alright I'll pick it up too.

I don't know what a "git" is, but LaBrie does seem to have an arrogant vibe about him. And yes, Symphony X interacts with the crowd constantly. Russell is a great frontman in many ways, one of which keeping the crowd interested and giving the show a casual vibe. I agree with you that DT does not do this. There is no connection with the audience; LaBrie makes no effort whatsoever to make the fans feel "at home," which is what I believe a frontman should do.

Absolutely. Russ definitely knows how to work the crowd. DT pulls off their set, but James LaBrie could use some work in being more audience friendly.

For some reason, I didn't realize that Still Life wasn't on that list of yours. Also my favourite Opeth album Get the remastered version. It's pretty damn sweet, and not expensive or anything.

i also 2nd that, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th.. about still life.. imo their best album.. and also if you can, once you get it.. take time to really listen to it, like get out the liner notes and read along to the music.. the album is very powerfully done.

^+1

The first time I listened to it was on a late-night drive through the nothingness that is the space between any two towns in montana. For obvious reasons, I wasn't looking at the booklet that first time, but it was intense nonetheless.

It's a difficult album to listen to at first, really.

 

[SilentRealm]

i dont think so.. its the first album that really hooked me onto opeth and made me realise how talented they are..

 

[SilentRealm]

*goes to listen*

I didn't find it that great when I first listened to it. Maybe it was the production... not too sure, but I went back to it and fell in love.

 

[ElvenShadow]

wow everyone on here fucking loves Still Life eh?

My favorite has to easily be Damnation. I will admit I like well done clean vocals over death vocals (even though I love tons of death/black metal bands) but its just that the songs are so well composed IMO. After Damnation though, my favorite has always been Blackwater Park. The Drapery Falls is easily like one of the best songs ever.

I never really got too hooked on Still Life, but after a whole page of people giving it such high praise, I think I will listen to it all the way through very carefully soon since I have a long plane ride tomorrow

The exact same thing happened to me with V. :Spin:
I'll surely take the time to listen to it.

I tried...just never caught me. I like Damnation and a lot of stuff from Blackwater Park, but that's as far as it goes for me...still don't get the love for Still Life. Ah, to each his own.
