Wreath

Ignorant finish fool.

He's not ignorant. He made a perfectly valid point and one that I, for the most part agree with. That bassline is one of the only redeeming points of it IMO and the rest is just the same 'loop riff A for 2 minutes then change overdub' that most of Deliverance is comprised of.

Anyways, I was listening to a few songs and then Wreath came on. I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I noticed that the vocals are very aggressive and "mean" on that song. Does anyone else agree or disagree? I can just hear a very angry tone in that song unlike any other one I've heard.Matt

That's the whole point. The album in general was supposed to sound aggressive and "mean". Wreath is a song to let you know that D1 is quite different than D2, heh.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I think I made a thread about this song before.. it fucking kicks ass. Such an awesome way to start the album.. starts it off so great

Ignorant finish fool.

I admit the song is a grower, yeah. But you shouldn't cast such malicious words towards us finns, since we are so northern and true

Ok, I didn't like the song the first time.. or the second time either.. it took a bit of getting used to. I dig it, and I don't blame any of you for NOT digging it. peace and amen (and all sorts of things...)

Typical me.

To me, The Funeral Portrait sounds mean. Wreath sounds like they ran out of ideas.
Just saying.

I think it's kinda opposite. The Funeral Portrait is a little bit too straight forward. Wreath is so dynamic and exploring, I discover something new each time I listen to it.

Wreath is what got me into the band again after i got bored of BWP.

We really do think differently.

Just listen to that riff at 1:16 in The Funeral Portrait. It's fucking METUL! Also, the lyrics are much better, as are Mikael's vocals...and the clean vocals at the end are the frosting on the cake. "Dynamic and exploring" my ass. Opinions are so much fun.

 

[ViCyniC]

It's the intro to Wreath that got me to like it, not the middle parts. It's the middle parts of AFJ that got me to like it, not the intro.

 

[jester00]

i agree with both of you. at first i thought wreath was a little bit dull, but the more i listened to it the more i got outta it. Now i like it lots, but i can see why it doesnt appeal to everyone

Yes, the riff at 1:16 is heavy. I always liked that riff for it's heaviness. But well, thats like it (and the solos!)

 

[Hondo]

The middle of Wreath has great atmosphere. I dunno. I really like all of Opeth's underrated songs.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Even "Eternal Soul Torture" and "Into the Frost of Winter?"

Wreath has some awesome parts in it, it is underrated. Besides the intro riff and the one around the 3 min mark, it totally kicks ass. I agree that riff has a good atmosphere, I just dont like the riff. The solos are bad ass too.. makes me wonder if Mike can play his solo lol. Bad ass song though.. would be good live. The riff after the second solo rapes btw, that lead part is awesome. Whoever said bad things about The Funeral Portrait should be shot. That song is one of their more faster paced songs to me, and all the guitar riffs and solos kick ass beyond anything.

 

[Post_Scriptum]

According to the DVD, he doesn't even look to play the second solo

 

[suislidE]

yea but all those wierd ass harmonics and stuff.. maybe its some effect or hell i dont know how he does it, just didnt think they could reproduce it live.

 

[EatMyMetal]

i didnt really like it much at first, but it grew on me like a rash. same deal with By the Pain, but that took a little longer. both are masterfully done, but took some getting used to.

 

[ViCyniC]

BtP is possibly my favorite song in Deliverance. But then again, all of the songs are great, overall.
