The Lotus Eater

[Razzor7]

Keyboard part freakin' kills.

Waz is starting to remind me of a certain Carpathian. "Death is but a doorway, time is but a window. I'll be back"

You gotta hand it to the guy. He just never gives up... I respect his dedication. :

 

[kendoji]

I like PH more, parts of this sounds a little too much like Dimmu Borgir for my taste.

lmao korlich you wouldn't get away with that on dd

 

[duvix]

How many solos does this song actually have?

 

[rayden_ad]

first two minutes for the win

yes! and the jazzy-funky thing on 6~.

 

[Obtuse]

The only bit I can say that I don't like is the nintendo/dream theater moment with the keyboards, but apart from that it is badass. My favourite bit is the opening blast-beats.

What could possibly be better than combining Opeth with Nintendo?

 

[bahadur]

2nd time of listening. Mindblowing ethereal music. It is just another level, ethereal level. OMG!

 

[BefriendedUnit]

So, did Mikael really quit smoking or what? His voice is the best it's ever been, ever.

 

[JoeVice]

i like the leaked version better.:Smug:

the new stuff seems fresh to me, like its found a freedom and vibrancy that was constricted on ghost reveries.

also, just to clear things up here concerning the coolest part on the lotus eater, its from 6:23 on.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

Also, I just wanted to say a "fuck you" to the guys that doubted Axe.

 

[sleepwalker08]

The whole song fucking kills!

 

[fränzi]

Thank God for the free version. I would've waited till June otherwise.

Listened to it twice. Fantastic stuff. The riff that comes in during the first 2 minutes (can't remember where exactly) is very Deliverance-ish but sounds better.

Mike's clean vocals are the best ever on this. For some reason reminded me of Dan Swanö in some of the stuff he's done.

Was this any different to the leaked version?

 

[Jester-Race]

I swear, I know this isn't the right topic for Porcelain Heart, but goddamn. Each time I listen to that song it absolutely fucking GROWS on you. After the 10th or so listen, I honestly think it's a great single, not to mention Watershed as a whole is going to shape up to be a fucking fantastic album. I love Porcelain Heart. Really.

The Lotus Eater is quite ridiculous too. Who would of thought that blastbeats over soft spoken vocals would work so well? Oh that's right, Opeth.

 

[Uber Mega]

I like this part the best, that's why I covered it...sounds like a Jordan Rudess guest spot to me.

 

[RollMyCoaster13]

pfffff hahahahahah. wtf are you wearing?

 

[fränzi]

Hahaha nice.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Sweet, Uber!

 

[wadler]

The only bit I can say that I don't like is the nintendo/dream theater moment with the keyboards, but apart from that it is badass.

rofl, probably the best part of the song

 

[hunglife]
