it's not a bad song live IMO. it's nothing that's going to challenge my musical intellect, but it's entertaining and gets your blood pumping.

Yeah, but I just wonder how I would feel about the edit if I never heard the long version before I heard that. People tend to grow accustomed to songs and then if something changes to the song, it sounds awkward. So I really wonder what I would've thought about the edit if I hadn't heard the actual song first, any people that experienced this? (thus, any noobs here?).

I'd have to vote it as my least favourite Opeth song I think, though that doesn't mean it isn't worth listening to, because it is, it's just not the best thing the band has done. And it sucks that this of all the songs on GR was chosen to be released with a video and such, who's idea was that? Maybe RR decided it was the closest thing to the other de-tuned crap on their label and would pull the biggest crowd of angry korn-hoodie wearing teenagers.

that's always how I feel about TGC... until I get past the first couple minutes of it and get into where the vocals start... I think a lot of people, including myself, have trouble with the main beginning and ending sections because they're very repetitive and last too long... however everything in between those sections makes just as fantastic as a track as the others in its own way, reminds me of Bloodbath at times, definitely an almost full-on metal track

It may be one of the worst Opeth songs but I enjoy every second of it so it doesent mather.
And I dont get why TGC get's to take so much shit when there are clearly worse songs like Dirge For November(I enjoy that song too).

argh, no offense, but people who throw a song like Dirge For November to the bottom of the pile almost as a default make me wonder if they've even honestly listened to it
... I wouldn't say many other Opeth songs at all top it

i agree entirely. dirge for november is one of the top tracks opeth has ever done. and without a doubt my favorite track on blackwater park. every note was well chosen and placed...i cant say the same for even the drapery falls which seems to be the noob anthem of "perfection".
DFN and the title track are definitely my favorite two tracks off Blackwater Park. I don't understand why so many people hate Dirge for November at all.

that song has such a huge Still Life vibe on it... I used to always mistake what album I was listening to when it'd hit that song... a lot of the riffs are definitely Still Life
p.s. one of the most moving riffs Opeth has ever written lays in the middle of that song under the solo, especially when it comes back around the second time with Martin in 4/4 (I believe)... the first time any other Opeth riff ever rivaled that one for me was when I heard the riff under the Baying of the Hounds solo... about as "emotional" as rhythm sections could get I'd say

DFN is a timeless masterpiece. definitely the best track on BWP and surely among my top 10 of Opeth songs

I wouldn't say that DFN is the best track on Blackwater Park, but it is definitely a great track. The problem is that each and every track on Blackwater Park is fucking brilliant so each track seems to stand out in its own way. That makes it a bit easier to say, oh this track is the best track of Blackwater Park, when you're listening to it.
I heard the edit first and I thought it was fucking assripping 'n' shit.Opethian666 said:
erk: )That made me buy GR.
When I heard the long version I almost came.
I'm growing slightly tired of it, but that's just because I bought MAYH a week ago.
