All their full lengths are good.

I'm listening to the new Opeth. Opinions later.

Easily the worst Opeth yet. Just try to comprehend that idea for a moment.

 

[Nico]

It feels about as dumb as Deliverance and as uninterestingly melodic as Blackwater Park. Hooray for low expectations!

 

[Nico]

Beneath the Mire's intro sounds like fucking goth-rap.

I think with this one they've moved from "I can see why shit people would like it" to "I can't see why anyone would like it "

The first clean vocalled bit in the first song is one of the most painful things I've ever heard in my life.

Actually track 4 "Atonement" is fucking groovy. Feelin' a bit of stoner vibe, maybe Per chipped in on writing, being from Spiritual Beggars and all.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

But hey what ISN'T groovy with chugga riffs.

 

[swizzlenuts]

i think metal archives is down because so many people want to write shitty reviews for ghost reveries...

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's obviously because they didn't switch to Geico.

 

[swizzlenuts]

ever heard of the band mucopus? pretty weird shit....

The new Opeth is great IMO, reminds me of BWP and Still Life mixed together. Although it isn't as good as MAYH I'm still really digging it.

I'll have to check out the new Adramalech

Does Opeth have an album that has more "passion?" I've been listening to Blackwater Park on and off over the year plus since I bought it, and it's so mellow, especially in the vocal department. It seems like there aren't really any really passionate vocal moments, he's just always singing so softly, which seems like his style....

I got 'Alive Again' by Nightingale and I like Dan Swano's vocals better than Mikael Akerfeldts'.

I think it's just his style, soft and almost soothing rather than passionate. Orchid or Damnation might be considered more passionate vocally than his other work, but not by much.

 

[Edgecrusher]

Hmmm.... I may still check this out yet. Even though I wasn't too interested in that first song that was posted.

 

[Christie_fell]

Ah once again I am reminded of the glorious MORRIGAN. Celts, niggles...Celts. Also listen to Helheim.

Has anyone else listened to the most recent Oathean, Fading Away into the Grave of Nothingness? What the hell was chaos thinking with that 20% he gave? That's utter shit.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I've heard from several other sources that it's absolutely terrible as well.

 

[swizzlenuts]

GoD, you recommended me flesh crawl about 3 months ago... and its been sitting on my computer... i just put it in to see what it was like.....

good fucking shit

Descend into the Absurd is fucking brilliant, the other stuff I've heard by them is pretty bland.
