The Amen Corner

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Who else loves this song?

I'm really glad they played it on that chronology tour thing they did a while back. The song has grown on me every time I listen. The first few minutes are chock full of riffs made of gold, and that creepy acoustic part at the end - "eerie circles upon the waters" - hauntingly good.

One of the few high points of MAYH for me.

 

[Shredzilla]

It definitely doesn't beat out Demon Of The Fall in my book, but it is a quality song.

 

[Vega Skater]

It's probably the Opeth song that I still feel lost with as I listen to it. Now that's definitely not a bad thing. Amen Corner just keeps on bringing more and more which each listen, it's so dark.

 

[Whisper and Weep]

Its probably my favorite song off MAYH. That and April Ethereal of course.

 

[noura]

I do, but then again MAYH is one of my top faves...

 

[ramses]

Favorite Album, and Favorite song! I was stoked when they played it supporting the GR album.

 

[Sisyphus's Struggle]

I respect your opinion... And this is my opinion: to say that "The Amen Corner" is one of the "few" high points... i don't know... but to me MAYH is one of the greatest pieces of music that i have listen, as a whole, and track by track... maybe your statement about TAC being one of the few high points is due to the greatness of the album, and the difficult to choose any track as a favourite... i love conceptual albums... being my favourite TDSOTM...

 

[Rogue Eagle]

meh, When > Amen Corner.
(all opinion of course)

i personally love april ethereal. and credence. epilogue is the best instrumental ever. very reminiscent of the ending to heir apparent.

i mean, the ending to HA is reminscent of epilogue. whatever.

I think this one might be my favourite on the album, the intro is awesome. Would love to see it live.

 

[Gëist]

I can't dissociate it from the rest of MAYH. I love it. Especially the end and the connection with DotF.

 

[tchocky]

It's a cool song, but if Opeth were to bring out a 'Best Of..' tomorrow this song really shouldn't be on there.

 

[Slynt]

I love the song, the lyrics are good, the title is awesome... "The Amen Corner". That's just awesome.

 

[liquidcow]

It's a cool song, but if Opeth were to bring out a 'Best Of..' tomorrow this song really shouldn't be on there.

It so should.

 

[Stimuli]

Yea I went through my phase of this being my favourite song...

The opening is pretty epic...

 

[tchocky]

It so should.

But it shouldn't. There are many other Opeth songs that stand-out more than this does.

 

[liquidcow]

But it shouldn't. There are many other Opeth songs that stand-out more than this does.

But it should, times infinity.

 

[wwallinga]

TAC is currently tied for 2nd (with Deliverance) on my most played list. Only April Ethereal has more plays.

 

[tchocky]

But it should, times infinity.

But it shouldn't, times infinity plus 1!! And if you disagree any further I'll fucking knife you.
