What Opeth Song Should I Play For My Class

[crimsonfloyd]

Ok so in my Compsition class we are writing essays on music. Most of the students know nothing beyond rap and R&B, I'd say at least 66%. Most didn't even know there was a difference between punk and metal. Anyways for the next three days, we are going to bring in music. I'm gonna have to suffer through so many Jay-Z, Ja Rule and Fabulous songs Im gonna want to killmy self. Well I think they should have to suffer through at least one Opeth song and I'm hoping some of the more opened minded students will apriciate possibly even like it. But I don't know which song to bring in. I want something that shows both the soft and heavy side of Opeth. Pherhaps "Deliverance" as it has both death and clean parts throughout. What do you all think?

 

[Schraiber]

I think that the song Black Rose Immortal would be good

Other than that... I've always thought of The Moor as a good introduction to Opeth song for some reason...

 

[Hondo]

Deliverance would be good. If it's ok to play something 14 minutes long.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Yeah the time thing could be a problem. I was thinking of "The Moor" as well, if she won't let me go with a long one I might go with "Demon of the Fall".

 

[Iron-Flames]

Yeah, I did the same, and those assholes cut me off at like 4 minutes into Advent.

"Its to long"
"But you can't experience the full effect without the whole song!"
"Its just to long"

Assholes

 

[Hondo]

Bleak is only 9, and that's a crowd pleaser. Moonlapse Vertigo seems good as well.

 

[Demonspell]

The Drapery Falls
Godhead's Lament

 

[Sóti]

i would play godheads lament

 

[Ermz]

They'll probably hate it either way, so just to spite the bastards play Eternal Soul Torture

Deliverance would be an excellent choice.

it shows raw aggression and sweet musicianship

sweet clean vocals and down-right mean growls


but i would pick Face of Melinda

that is just me

 

[Innbydelse]

i would play godheads lament

oh yeah who could forget that? that is a sweet choice as well


MAN the clean vox is beautiful


in fact i am listening to it now

 

[Innbydelse]

Bleak is only 9, and that's a crowd pleaser. Moonlapse Vertigo seems good as well.

moonlapse is good too!!

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

Play Blackwater Park.

 

[SoundMaster]

"DIRGE FOR NOVEMBER" for sure.


It begins so clean & pretty....and then.....hell unleashed! :hotjump:

 

[chaveta]

godhead's lament or bleak

maybe bleak, its a chick magnet, yeah play that, its all about getting some ass anyway

 

[Innbydelse]

godhead's lament or bleak

maybe bleak, its a chick magnet, yeah play that, its all about getting some ass anyway

chick magnet?

 

[ThePhilosopher]

godhead's lament or bleak

maybe bleak, its a chick magnet, yeah play that, its all about getting some ass anyway

It is???

 

[Azogue]

The best one would probably be Blackrose Immortal....but I doubt they'll let you play 20 minute epics.

A Fair Judgement is a beautiful song which incorporates both sides of Opeth, even if it sounds soft to the fans, it's also a heavy tune.

I would personally play The Moor, cause to me, that song perfectly embodies everything that is Opeth.

My second choice would be The Drapery Falls, as it's a classic song which has converted a lot of people into Opeth fans.

Oh, and Dirge For November is a good choice too...it's the first Opeth song I heard, and I've been a fan ever since. It's practically the song that got me into metal....and I used to be such a nice guy

 

[Speedkill]

Hmmmm, Dirge for November almost killed my interest in Opeth. It's ok now, but I really didn't like it that much when I first heard it.

 

[chaveta]

i think you should go with The Drappery falls because it starts out soft, so people won't put it off...
they'll be like...
"hey... this is pretty good"
and then when the growls start some will go
"blehhh sucks"
but then others will say
"hey... not so bad"

so youknow... even though Bleak is super sweet and a panty-dropper [really] it starts out with the growls, which might make people lose interest... or hwatever
