opeth are terrible

That doesn't leave many bands that are good then

 

[Eelectrica]

So looking forward to seeing Opeth next Sunday. The hell with Slipknot.

opeth are terrible

how can u say that

Opeth are awesome vocaly

just listen to damnation and songs like a fair judgment and blackwater park

i reckon there the 2nd best band after Iron Maiden

I will have to agree with Beave. Where is the factor in the new albums from Slipknot or Dragonforce which progressed them? It just seems like a volume 2.
Opeth at least go different places each album (if you appreciate it enough) but except for one song on each album, the forementioned I didn't fully appreciate.

 

[Eelementary]

I guess that's the difference though - Opeth, though technically a metal band, openly say they just play music and don't like being labeled. Slipknot and a lot f other bands fall into one musical genre and don't break out of it.

 

[Non Terminator]

Opeth fall into a fair few. Progressive, death...but there are sections of their songs (even whole songs) that fall nowhere near either category.
I want to see bands like Slipknot explore more.
Never will happen though.

 

[Eelementary]

Yeah you're right. But that's why I guess we all find Opeth so fascinating - you never know what you're going to get in an Opeh album.

Dragonforce - God love 'em and all, but they are so samey.

 

[HevyDevy]

Well I don't think Opeth's style changes too much from album to album, other than when they moved from a blackened sound to a death sound after Morningrise.

Certainly they are progressive death these days with folk thrown in.

Always classy though.

 

[Eelementary]

That they are.

 

[AILD]

not a fan opeth.

not a massive fan of slipknot either.


......thats my 2 cents.

From me...even just with one or two songs...they add some level of catchiness to it I think. I don't know how to describe.

That's what you get with Opeth...difficult to describe the music!! ;-)

 

[Eelementary]

I have to admit - my mate played me some of "All Hope Is Gone" and I didn't hate it. Obviously musically and lyrically it doesn't have the depth of an Opeth or In Flames release, but I thought it was catchy.

Anyone watched the DVD that come with the digipak version? Not too bad, very random.

In the DVD Sid's in a hospital bed looking all messed up and bleeding, anyone know what happened to him?

 

[AILD]

might have been when he hit his head on the doorframe at the studio?

I don't mind the riff but it's all too cheesy for my liking.

Having said that, after 3 weeks in Beijing and 2 in Macau I was actually a bit excited to finally hear something a bit heavyish. Normally if Slipnknot came on I'd be throwing the remote at the TV.

Oh, and it's nice to be back in the land of the living - I look forward to more metal diaologue with you fine people.

Did he do that on the DVD? I must have missed it. He looked like he was drunk or drugged out too.

 

[AILD]

havent seen the dvd...but i remember seeing a clip on a metal site of him in a hospital bed looking f**ked up with some girl telling him to roll over. And the description mentioned he hit his head doing some DIY repairs around the studio...or something like that anyway.

 

[Zigwaa]

Yeah that's the same clip. Thanks.
