So I hear Deliverance comes out tomorrow here in NA....I am awaiting with much anticipation....I just cannot wait! The day is near.....
Anyway, this here thread is about a song off of Delievrance that goes by the title of Wreath - which is the ONLY song I allowed myself to check out off the album. In fact, I swore I would not listen to anything until I bought the album first, but curiosity caught a hold of me.....and I chose the FIRST song (in which a friend, changso, stated it is definitely not the best on the CD...in fact, I wouldn't be surprised....)
Anyway, overall this song I feel is average. I love the drums at the beginning, the way they kick off the song, but the opening riff I couldn't really care less for....sure it's good, but for Opeth I'm not impressed cause they have done so much better previously.
So, then I continue listening and all the sudden my jaw drops to the floor in shock...it gets to 1:50 and I am blown away by the stunning riff! Honestly, this is good stuff indeed! Comes outta nowhere, but wow! So melodic and haunting, I just cannot fully describe it....really made an impression on me, that's for certain. And, even the part right after as the vocals come in just compliments that part even further....roughly 1:50 - 3:30 is truly remarkable music. But still, it's unfortunate the rest doesn't really impress like this part....so, it's like a half & half thing.....an average song with a killer part in it. Man, I wish the entire song was just PERFECT for me, but it's not quite there.....I listened to it about 20 times or so now, and my opinion on the song remains the same......
The two solos in the song are pretty damn good, with the first one around 5 min. being the better one IMO for the haunting mood it creates....the whole atmosphere overall to me oozes greatness from that solo. And, the brief clean vocal part near the end gives out a whole haunted kinda feel, which I like.....
So, in the end it is a good song, but definitely not superb except for the 1:50 - my fave part! The intro, something about it, just kinda ruins a song that should have been AWESOME (the riff and vocals at the beginning I just don't like too much), and soon after this terrific riff comes out and it doesn't seem like it fits all together....I don't know. With this song, it's like I absolutely adore it, and then in a way I just don't care for it.....
Well, these are my thoughts and opinions so if anyone wants to share some light on this, please by all means do so.....
I'm still expecting the album to be awesome overall.....I mean, BWP has 8 songs and out of those I don't like 2, so who knows, right?
