Opeth (lyrics, great song, albums, Atmosphere, band)

Deliverance · 12-10-2005, 11:13 AM

Any Opeth fans here? Best talk about them than crappy limp bizkit on this forum anyway!

I prefer the mid sort of stuff, but the newer stuff is god too. Still Life and Blackwater Park are great, but prob Deliverance is the one I like most. Well they are all fairly interesting in their own ways...

Havent yet seen them live, sold out in Nov so I couldnt go >: (

Great band. Morningrise is probably my favorite album, mainly due to it have To Bid You Farewell and Black Rose Immortal.

What do you think about Ghost Reveries? I think it has it's moments. Ghost of Perdition is a great song.

I like Atonment cos it has sort of eastern style melodies, also Revirie/ is cool.
Its an ok album, just find it a bit lower in tempo than the older ones. Still has the atmosphere which is good.

Yeah Atonement is good. Reverie/Harlequin Forest is good musically but the lyrics just kill it for me. I don't think the riffage on GR is as good as on previous albums.

Opeth.
Is.
Amazing.

Still Life and Damnation are my favorites

I could have sworn there was already a thread on these guys. Maybe I'm wrong? Good band, though.

Yay an Opeth thread. They're my favourite metal band besides Iron Maiden. The music is just so perfect. Akerfeldt is a god. Anyway, my fav album is probably Blackwater Park, but all of their stuff is good. And Ghost Reveries is a great album.

Damn straight they are awesome. Damnation = sex in ears.
