To be honest, while Axe is a great drummer I always preferred Lopez's style. This is not an Oldpeth vs NewPeth thing, just love the tastefulness of Lopez style:) Also, such a great song and nice to see you checking it out.
Well, that was fun. :D
I feel like this song doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's always been one of my favorites, but I rarely see people mention it when talking about Opeth. Also, the fadeout works within the context of the album as it transitions into a super mellow interlude track.
It's just so hard to point to one specific Opeth song with their massive library of amazing songs. But yes this does get overlooked a bit, even though I personally prefer the harder tracks.
I have mentioned this many times, everytime it gets swamped by other popular songs
It's the only song I listen to from the deliverance album. I just don't like the growls in the album. I love blackwater Park, and songs like Heir Apparent. But I just can't get behind deliverance. Don't know why.
@@Hanz_Goober Because Mikael was drained and going through the motions in this record, and maybe A fair judgement reflected his sombre reticence and acted as a catharsis for him.
Naturally this doesn't get mentioned, Opeth has dozens and dozens of musical masterpieces, this is just another one
the fadeout is literally perfect for that riff. The riff is basically written to loop endlessly, so the best way to end it is to have the riff keep playing, slowly disappearing into the void.
That is the exact feeling that I feel, and it is so dominating and also makes me feel overwhelmed in the perfect way. The fadeout imo was the better route with this song.
I really want you to hear Grand Conjuration but at the same time not. It's one of their hardest and most sinister sounding tracks with mostly demon so you might find it to be too much, but it's so flawlessly composed and performed it's a must-hear.
You’d probably like the LAMENTATIONS live version of this song. It’s pretty spot on to the recording and they have to conclude with no fade-out (obviously).
Yes pleeeease! 👍🏻
Please do it, the Lamentations live version of this track is one of the best live experiences that you could have with Opeth. Martin Lopez on the drums was never better than in this session.
Lamentations is amazing as a whole
Great reaction, I love how they make great outros for most of their songs. This one always gets me.
I don't like all the long Opeth outros but I think I can listen to this one for a long time. It's like stumbling down some stairs that lead to an abyss drunk.
I believe it was Steven Wilson playing the piano here. Awesome track, very underrated. I don't think you've disliked any Opeth track. Their discography is just so full of awesome stuff. I don't know many artists that are at this level of consistency on the quality of the music. Some might like older or newer Opeth more but it's never bad or filler music.
I think it was Steven Wilson on keyboards,he also produced the album.
This is my favorite song of all time along with Dirge for November
This is literally equivalent to a Pink Floyd track, in composition and execution. I forget how much I love Deliverance
Their first keyboardist that played on the album and live, was 2005 on the Ghost Reveries album. Per Wiberg. Piano and keys on previous albums (Blackwater Park, Deliverance, and Damnation) was by Steven Wilson. The 'keyboard guy' you often reference is Joakim Svalberg, whom didn't join the band until after the 2011's Heritage was completed. His first album he played on was Pale Communion, 2014.
Absolutely one of my fav opeth songs. Demony demon or no, this is imho one their heaviest.
Such an ear-pearl, such a banger. This band man. This band indeed. 👌 ❤
The twin guitar work is phenomenal on this track.
I don’t remember you disliking any Opeth track, and I don’t think there’s anything we could throw at you that you would be ‘meh’ about either. They’re so consistent.
She didnt like the first Opeth songs she listened to because of the "demon voice". I dont know if she have grown to appreciate screaming vocals by now?
Such an amazing song, I couldn't see this losing a pole, but there are still so many songs you have yet to hear. This song is absolutely beautiful though. They just operate at a completely different level. Hope Leaves and Closure from Damnation are songs I think you will find comparable, imo.
All wrestlers have an entrance song they walk into the ring with. The ending of this song is the Demon’s entrance theme for sure.
That’s why there was no Demon at the end, he was too busy waving and blowing kisses at the crowd.
Also this is a very heavy growly album, so A Fair Judgment is nice as a clean vocals only breather.
Please Lauren, don't ever change!
As for fade outs, sometimes I like them, sometimes not. It depends on the song.
Yessss I've been voting for this forever!
The last song on this album - By The Pain I See In Others.... one of their worst in the entire catalogue. But its STILL good😂
This album is actually down near the bottom of my personal ranking, but its really only because all their other music is just so damn good! This album smokes most all other stuff out there with all that said haha The ending of this song is so damn soul crushing...ugh! One of their best moments and great guitar solos too. Its a real masterpiece🙌
Thank you! You are like my friend with whom I listen to songs or learn new ones)
☺️
Live in Sydney version has the powerful ending you are looking for
Tangent, Slipknot is apparently releasing a new song this week, and it's called "Dying Song"
Your Opeth reactions are my favorites. I've loved them a long while, so I always like to see others discovering what an epic band they are.
The Lyrics of Opeth’s songs are usually so depressing, and I love them so much…
I've been recommending this song for so long... 🤣 Very happy you did it as it's very underrated within the fandom and it's been on my favourites from the beginning. Thankiu ♥️
When I listen to an Opeth track like this one that I haven't heard in a while it just amazes me how great it is. Btw Drummer Martin Lopes is now in a band called Soen which is really good. Some say they sound a bit like Opeth and Tool.
I love Soen! Fun fact: when I found Soen, I created a playlist called 'Opeth + Soen' (you can probably find it on Spotify), because I thought they went so well together. What's funny is that I didn't know the band members back then and didn't know that Martin Lopez used to be in Opeth; blew my mind when I finally discovered it, but it explained a lot.
Enjoy this one again in Shephard Bush Live
Steven Wilson - backing vocals, additional guitars, Mellotron, piano, keyboards, production, engineering
Nothing beats early 2000's Opeth.
Many people complained about this song's ending. I thought it was good, but could have been better by ending it right after he said "Nothing...left....here". End the song. Oh well.
This era of Opeth Mikael says was the worst era of Opeth, he constantly complained about Peter Lingren (the other guitarist) about contributing nothing to this album. Mikael wrote all the lyrics and the music to Deliverance. Plus Martin Lopez (Opeth's best drummer IMHO) had panic attacks on stage.
Akerfeldt thought it could have been a much better album. But it's still head and shoulders above other bands best efforts.
It's not BWP, but what else is?
I knew you'd complain about the ending Lauren.
Hey, next time you listen to it, just hit the stop button right after those final 3 words.
Song fixed and gets a 10. :))
I think the fadeout fits well with the story the song conveys for me. Someone who is very filled with regret and despair, who in the end of the song is resigning themselves to their fate, where the heavy mood feels like getting darker and more heavy on each repetition. The fadeout works as there is no escape, only the endless spiral downwards.
Thanks for the work you put into it.
If you do "Sorceress", pleeeeease the live version at Red Rocks !
Thx for your great job :)
Fun Fact: The drummer, Martin Lopez, used to play drums for Amon Amarth. (Amon Amarth are a Viking Death Metal band from Sweden. I've seen them at least 4 times. No mellow songs.)
Keep the entertaining reactions coming.
Love your show, Lady L.
🤘😎🤘
You have to do Cusp of Eternity and Width of a Circle!
There is no Demon but 100% pure epic Music!
Here is Some opeth Recommendations :
-a fair judgement live at Shepherds Bush empire
-Hope leaves live at the Royal Albert Hall
-Blackwater park live either Roundhouse tapes or Royal Albert Hall
The last two songs from Watershed
1- Hex Omega
2- Derelict Herds
One of their very best "non demon songs" Deliverance is such an amazing record. In the context of the album the fadeout works really well, because it transitions right into the next one perfectly.
One of my favourite Opeth songs, and highly underrated - the pre-exit riff/solo is so cathartic and triumphant
Deliverance album - Martin Lopez at his absolute best... I love the drumming on this record... My favorite Opeth album, always in my heart forever, changed my life and got me through some really hard times.... Looking forward to your reaction to Wreath :))
Opeth. The Yin and Yang, Just go.
That's the definition of heavy lol
I love the fade out!!! just to urk you 😂😂
but yeah most their fade outs lead into the next song
Based on how many times you went back to listen again I think this has a realistic shot at cracking your top 3 Opeth tracks.
I understand the disappointment in the fade out … but Opeth does whatever Opeth wants to do … that’s why they’re Opeth … I love your reactions. You are one of my favorites!!
Thanks for being here! ☺️ And I agree completely--about Opeth, not about being one of your favorites. lol
Awesome song, awesome album, great reaction
a fair judgement is probably my favourite non growling opeth song, so underrated
Those two times that you said that you were glad that The Demon wasn´t showing up really hurts.... :(
Jokes aside, it you are not going to do Black Rose Immortal cause it is too long, The Night and The Silent Water is a good choice from that album....You pretty much cover all the old Opeth era, The Demon Era, except for the two first records (you did To Bid you Farewell but that was an all mellow song)....it would be cool if you choose one song from each those two records in the future to get the full Demon Era experience before entering the No Demon Era. Anyways, great reaction, as always
I didnt listen through the reaction, but it's funny to me how you can be a fan of Opeth but at the same time despising Michales growling in his prime. One of my favorite vocalists when it comes to Deep growls
Absolutely agree. I really like their newer stuff, but the first two albums have such a beautiful eerie atmosphere... Forest of October is one of the top songs from Opeth imho.
Not everything does or should end with a bang or a full stop ☺️
Your keyboard guy on this album from memory is Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree as he helped out with the Deliverance/Damnation recordings when they had issues with the first recording studio.
So fucking Underrated.
Hi! You talked about how you want to learn about Opeth, so I'd just like to recommend this video (no advertising intended): OPETH - Mikael answers fan questions - Why won't he growl? (FAN Q&A)
It has a lot of answers for you (and of course Mikael being his wonderful, humble self).
Love Steven's harmony vocals on this whole record. Have you ever seen a run like Opeth from 1995 to 2008? Some of the best music ever recorded.
their later stuff is great too, but yeah their run from 95(arguably even earlier because of the demos) to 2008 is untouchable, and why they’re my favorite band.
I'd toss Heritage in that as well. That's a phenomenal album as well.
@@jayclean5653good album, but not even close to the giants before it imo
I am a relatively new Opeth fan myself, but damn you're right. All of their songs are amazingly superb and I can't stand how awesome they are. And also; the more you listen to them, the more you get used to the "demon". I really love their early work. I mean, the newer ones are also incredible but the first 9 albums are on another level in my opinion.
Ok, this may be my favorite, out of what I've heard, so far. Funeral dirgey in the beginning, then lovely, then something else, loveliness, a great transition, some cool guitar that took me years back, soft vocals, doom coolness. But, I wish the end was different, also. Loved your reaction, as always. The outtakes almost had me choking. Lllol!
Are you hearing the epicness? YES
😊
1st of all ITS ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME LOL 😆. Fair Judgment is probably the greatest song ever recorded period.
2nd of all if you listen to there albums the way they meant to heard as a whole the fade pit leads to another track
Love the channel ❤️
I'd love to see a reaction to some of their more off-kilter songs. You should put up a poll with songs like Closure, The Garroter, and Atonement, and let's get weird with it!
I think the sound you don't like is the tremolo effect on the guitar. It is sometimes used to create a ripple type of sound. It modulates the amplitude of the guitar signal.
If you are going through this album "Pain I see in others" is one of my favorite. It actually has a waltz in the middle of it.
In Pop music fade-outs are a cheap trick to make a song get stuck in your head. I usually don't like that either and Opeth usually don't do that. So I guess it was an intentional artistic choice for this song, probably has some meaning it. I just don't know what it is. Mikael's reasons are mostly "because it sounded cool".
Martin Lopez - dark hair. He brought those jazzy and bembe beats to Opeth which really vitalised the band and was their classic sound. He is now in a band called Soen who are also excellent. Worth a listen. ua-cam.com/video/LMRfAbs2vk4/v-deo.html
It was after Lopez left the band that I sort of stopped listening to Opeth. His style was vital to a lot of their appeal to me at the time. I've come back around to them and to metal in general after a long period of expanding my taste in music and I really do like their later stuff but for me it was when they were recording with Lopez that I cherished most, likely because it was such a formative period for me musically.
Good choice Lauren! It is easy for me to look at 3 Opeth songs now and pick out the one you will like the most - Isn't that the reason why we are all here? Haven't seen the reaction yet but I know that it will be entertaining to say the least! Keep Opeth alive!
Such a great reaction, more people should know about you and Opeth...What an injustice! I predict that you will thoroughly enjoy your finale to Watershed - Hex Omega. I think the fade out was a little drawn out but then again...Opeth and their drummers are incredible!!!
Hex Omega will be posted this Friday! :D
@@MusicCatsandCoffee can't wait!!!
After Martin Lopez came Martin "Axe" Axenrot, who has now departed the band.
Some reference to Peter Lindgren will be cool as well. The original lead guitarist and probably was Mikael's best buddy in the band till he left
His solos were so different. They worked perfectly with the vibe Opeth gave off.
Deliverance and Damnation were recorded at the same time. On deliverance your demon is fully represented while damnation gathers the more docile tracks (only clean vocals). Check out Windowpane
Windowpane was one of my first Opeth songs. :)
Belíssima música. Uma das minhas favoritas
'Im going to call this the demon theme song"
Yet it's 100% Demon free?🤔😃
Do the 20 mins song anyway. You would love the dynamics and the adrenaline in it
Black Rose Immortal
How can any Opeth song win a pole comfortably when every Opeth song is perfect?
I hope you check out the song harvest by opeth its less intense but it puts off the perfect dark vibes
pardon me for insist, but you may should check Martín López new band SOEN he is still doing mazing things, I suggest Antagonist from their newest album
Remember to check the demon forecast before listening to opeth :)
It's cute how you are on about this song possibly losing a poll.They have very many more songs as such you have yet to sample.
sad that black rose immortal didn’t win the poll, but happy regardless because it’s still Opeth
*NEW SLIPKNOT ALERT*
Commenting on the length of the album track wise, there’s a band you may or may not have heard of named The Mars Volta (highly recommended), they made an album in 2005 called Frances the Mute and it had 5 tracks because that’s all they could fit, the last track on the album is 32 minutes long, and the title track was left off the album because it wouldn’t fit lol Seriously though, check out The Widow by them. I think you’d fuck with them.
I'm very familiar with The Widow. It's a piece of art. :)
@@MusicCatsandCoffee What about the rest of their music? Have you heard much? I may have asked you before my apologies if so. I ask a lot of youtubers about them (sorry sometimes I cheat on you) and I crave more reactions to them.
What song is playing in the background at 22:50 if I can ask?
Check out this live version for wicked ending (instead of fade-out): ua-cam.com/video/Sj8Ghdimtd4/v-deo.html. Song starts at 1:17:55. A full no-demon gig + KG.
React to slipknots new song🤘🏼
Joyride Chevelle
First?😲🤘
I agree about the fade out.I called it the "cop out"
When you are playing live you can't fade out, so you have to morph into another song, or write an ending anyway.
When I was younger I had an original band, we recorded an album, & I insisted EVERY song have an ending, & was therfore instrumental in writing alot of them.
You're drunk. Many bands utilize this with their ending riff which is supposed to be the punchiest and leaves you to reflect. Gojira is really good about this too
Love the Opeth reactions. How about a different, but similarly awesome band?
ua-cam.com/video/5UZxhxCBWmQ/v-deo.html
So.. there was a demon after all, he just said nothing.
PS: The fade out was perfect for that riff, studio recordings don’t work the same way as live shows do. If you want a clean cut ending to this one though, check out their live version in London. An even slower, heart breaking performance (and which is actually the last track of the show). Greetings from Scandinavia (Norway), you’re funny.
Lauren: This is going to be a long video.
Me: Yaaaaaay 🤪
