Roundhouse Tapes DVD

[Le_Shrike]

Yeah, I'd read that too. I think it's in some diary at opeth.com, or in his blog. I definitely agree about the vocals, the roundhouse versions exceed the album versions in pretty much every single case. It's interesting to see how Mikael's improved as a singer just these few years. Not that he was bad before, but Lamentations was a bit rough around the edges on the clean stuff. On Roundhouse everything seems pitch perfect to me. I'll definitely get the DVD.

well for a start the 2 year gap between the show and release date certainly has alot to do with me purchasing with this release. It just seems out of date now

The time gap between the actual show and the release date doesn't bother me in the least (Well, except for the fact that we've all had to wait so long). I just look at it as the documentation of that incarnation of the band during that particular time period.

I'm VERY excited about the release of this DVD. I love the Lamentations DVD, but the Roundhouse CD's sound even better. The band sounds tighter and play together as more of a cohesive unit then they did on Lamentations. Don't get me wrong, Lamentations was great. But Mikael (and the rest of the group) just seemed more relaxed and played more in the grove on Roundhouse.

As others have stated, I don't understand why they didn't release both Lamentations and Roundhouse as a DVD/CD combo. I just hope that the wait for the DVD means they are packing it full of lots of extras.

For me, the Roundhouse cd is one of the all time best live albums, up there with "unleashed in the east" and "strangers in the night"..I think I might have listened to it more than any of the studio albums!..just a great track list and perfect performances.

Who reckons they will end up renaming the new dvd to "Swedish Democracy" given it's taken so long to come out?

I don't really see the problem with it being a 2-year old show. Lamentations is even older, yet I still watch it the day today.

A little bird told me.
Sorry, I think I can say that the reason behind the delay isn't any sudden inclusion of previously unknown extra material, a BlueRay release or anything like that.

Did you sign a contract saying you would never mention the reasons behind the delay? Come one tell us.......me.

 

[pyr0rrzzz]

Come on, it's obvious. They have to replace Peter with Fredrik all over the place.

 

[Jackehh]

well I wont bother buying this now, not to be cynical or anything but; it's just lost it's appeal to me now. I will watch it someday though. Buying it? No way

Nah, but I don't think I should spoil it for them, especially since I don't know any details

 

[leprecon]

This is ridiculous. I was going to order it today.

 

[SerenityNow!]

Oh, I get it...

You're being a big tease...

How 'bout a hint, hmmm?
