I just for like the first time SERIOUSLY listened to Opeth.

I have a few of their albums that I actually bought but only listened to a few tracks every now and again, and just put it aside, but now coming back and listening intently it's a fucking TRIP.

Mikael Åkerfeldt has some chops. I never noticed. I just watched a million live vids on the 'tube and I was pleased. Can't get enough.

Unleash the flamethrowers....

I would have never listened to them if Marcus didn't keep going on about the guitar sound on Ghost Reveries (which I now love). Same for several other bands constantly mentioned around this forum.

For shame you two, for shame!

I actually fell asleep at an Opeth concert in 2002... Stone sober.
never listened to them after.

That's kinda why I like it.

It's way more relaxed.

I saw Opeth 5 days ago (if I'm lucky Ill see them again tomorrow) and it was so fucking amazing, everything was SPOT ON. Åkerfeldt is a genious.

I must admit that I found that the previous line up a bit boring live, now they are really exciting. I've seen them 3 times since then and I appreciated every gig but I am a big fan.

I fucking love all their albums before Ghost Reveries, but I find GR and Watershed bleh . My favorites album are from the ''middle'' period, Still life, BWP, Deliverance.

But actually it's been like months since I listened to Opeth

No link with the thread but is there a way to change our nickname ?haha

my fav album by far is Damnation, i LOVE that album... so hauntingly beautiful. i'm guessing though that most on here love their older, heavier stuff. but i thought it was amazing that they had the depth and talent to go across the entire spectrum like that. and i really dig how they mix it up nicely on Watershed.

Saw opeth at Metaltown a few days ago, and they smoked so much ass. Mikeal was spot on, and holy shit Axenrot is the fucking messiah behind the kit. Great performance all around.

I don't listen to their albums that much however, since I do lose interest in the songs when they are so long. 'Ghost Reveries' being the exception here, that one has gotten many spins on my stereo.

I love Orchid. Holds a lot of memories for me. Love the volume pot stuff he does on The Apostle in Triumph. We'd always be waiting for that live.

 

[Metaltastic]

Hey, better late than never man, glad you're digging it! (took me awhile to get into them too actually, at least relative to a lot of my friends - mostly because I used to see some hippies at my HS rocking Opeth shirts, which didn't give me the best first impression )

 

[AudioGeekZine]

I've never really understood the appeal of Opeth personally, but then I'd never think I'd be listening to Teh Devil wears Prada either, but here I am ¯\(°_o)/¯

 

[Metaltastic]

Dude...how dare you mention Opeth in the same sentence as TDWP, unless "is infinitely better than" divides them

 

[AudioGeekZine]

If you haven't noticed, I like to stir shit up sometimes.

actually, what I meant was that I can probably learn to appreciate them more now that I'm older.

Happened to me too but it was a long day, and they were between Hypocrisy & Dimmu.

 

[Metaltastic]

Whatever, for me Opeth is easily among the top 10 metal bands of all time, there's just no one like them and goddamn are they good
