What's with the Opeth backlash??

I thought I was the only person that had this opinion. I have only heard Ghost Reveries, and I bought the album only ever heard The Grand Conjuration or whatever its called. Im more into melodic trash ("cave yer fucking head in") type music, and was extremely disappointed
in this album. I might get around to listening to earlier stuff at some point.

Save your cash; it's shit.

Don't listen to him; "Morningrise" is absolutely brilliant!


Morningrise is brilliant, but still has nothing on Orchid.

..though this section in Advent is fucking brilliant.

3:18 to 4:21

Only opeth would think of something this good.
 
Yeah, I still love em. I'm a bit bored of them now because when ghost reveries came out I re-got into them and over played them a bit.

Live they're awesome, and their music is something different that I can appreciate most of the time. Just not in abundance.

The backlash is hard to explain... but it's got to have something to do with really intelligent people not wanting newbies to get totally infatuated with the band, so they don't blow up too big, and when Opeth are no longer on the increase, these intelligent people can all be like "Oh yeah, Opeth, they are good, jazzy and heavy, meaningful songs and clever writing overall..." and once again, Opeth will just be one of the most respected underground acts out there.

Advent is one of the like, 3 songs I have by them. I don't remember anything special, perhaps I'll listen again..

It's my personal Opeth fav. Don't use it as a background, listen to it. A perfectly constructed, mind blowing piece.

You said you were underage, how old are you? I know that "underage" means different borders varying on the country, personally, in my country you are underage until 18 years old. :)
 
I'm 20. I know I look about 15, but I'm not, heh. I used to like the song Advent, when I was just getting into Metal, but now, for me, I'm just more into other things.
