explain why... What about it do you not like? Or did you just pick a song off a track list from Opeth and post that for fun?
 
strange... i havent heard that many opeth songs, only all of BWP and some others, but i havent found a single "horrible" song. and i do like face of melinda...please share why you dont like it
 
This reminds me of the "Opeth Sucks Ass!" ..."is what I would say if I were an idiot!" post. But this is neither funny nor cool. ;)

You should know us if you've been reading. You can't make ANY claim without reams of scientific proof as to why the Face of Melinda strikes your eardrum the wrong way, and all of ours the right way.
 
Well, it's certainly not horrible, but I would have to say that it's Opeth's worst song (which is still pretty damn good). All that labored rhyming makes me cringe every time I hear it. Ack.
 
the story is indeed not the happiest...but I love the entire song and feel it works well in between the brilliant 'Moonlapse Vertigo' and 'Serenity Painted Death'! :D
 
I absolutely hate people who say that a song/band/album sucks without giving a detailed reason...that's one of the reasons for writing my recommendations column, because it is too much of a risk to buy an album without knowing anything about the band or through a description consisting of "they rule!".
 
I can see it now..he bought Still Life, heard that song..and the first thing he thought to do was post that he hated it.. :)
