The rip of "The Grand Conjuration"

[CladInDarkness]

It's not like the Ålmighty or Anna picked up the phone and told me this directly, but it seems very clear to me that the issue is NOT MONEY, but rather the quality of the file that was being passed around. Noone here can dispute the poor quality and I think you would have a hard time winning an argument that it "Doesn't matter" w/ any member of the band who poured their blood, sweat and tears into an artistic project which depends heavily on the quality of the presentation. I think Salvador Dali would not appreciate people getting a first impression of one of his paintings from an out of focus polaroid picture... understand? I think they are trying to say, "We understand and appreciate your enthusiasm, but please wait for the finished product... we think it's worth the wait!"

Why was it on internet radio at all in the first place then?

It was on satellite radio, you can stream it from the internet which makes it sound shittier.

meh fair enough what Anna had to say, but still i think its a bit wrong to direct any blame at the fans, some fuckwit at Roadrunner who played the goddam track on Sirius in the first place should take some accountability??

this forum has a logical setup -- you can talk about mostly OPETH, and you're supposed to refrain from distributing dodgy radio rips which mostly don't do much good in the end.

fixed it for ya

Thanks Mr Samsara, that clarifies things somewhat...

But I think the rip, regardless of whether it was "good" or "bad" in the great scheme of things, was a positive thing for this forum. For once we have something to do besides start threads that are vaguely related (at best) to Opeth and turn them into all-out flame wars, which are often fun but never very productive, and certainly don't further band-related discussion. I haven't been here long at all but in the last few days there seems to have arisen a sense of community that wasn't, from what I can see, present before.

I just think it's funny, like someone said before, that it was on the page of opeth's record label.

You have to remember that Blabbermouth only happens to be hosted on RR's site. They really have nothing to do with each other.

i don't know if anyone stated it, but i did see the post about the blabbermouth place, and it was the station and and roadrunners fault, i listened to it, and i still loved the song, i perosnally don't see a problem with it, because i'll probably get it sometime anyway. but by all means, i'm not the smartest per-son in the world. and yes that was intended.
