Thank you very much for watching.
How difficult it is to choose a favorite song from this band because all the songs are incredible, each song has its dynamics, its composition, its feeling parts and also gutural...
That is hard to do.
This album is a concept album to the T and a masterpiece. Before revisiting any other tracks from Still Life, i think Face of Melinda has to come first, as it's kind of the pinnacle of events story wise, and sonically the largest departure in feel and attitude.
I'll finish off the album soon.
One of my faves! Love the breakdown and the heavy 'Dune' soundtrack riff, very similar to the part half way through 'The Baying of the Hounds' from Ghost Reveries. As ever there is so much Opeth to listen to, we really are fortunate this music exists. I'm not sure if you've done anything off Deliverance as that was one of the first albums that got me into them, every song perfect, heavy and brutal (apart from 'For Absent Friends' interlude). Most people would suggest the song Deliverance from this album (epic outro), but personally I like A Fair Judgement/Master's Apprentices/Wreath, probably down to the guitar work and they're some of the few Opeth songs I've learnt. Anyway looking forward to this one and will give it an anticipatory like.
Definitely one of my favorite concept albums, Opeth as well as King Diamond does them best.
Cool to see older people enjoy some good ol OPETH!
Try "Windowpane" for some mellow Opeth and you need to do the epic "Deliverance" too!
I do still need to do both of those. Soon!
@@sonicallydisruptive Try the remixed version of Deliverance ! Sounds way better than the original ! Same for Master's Apprentice :)
I really agree for the black rose immortal song but it is understandable since it is so early in their career and it is interesting seeing the early stage of opeth that had all the ideas in mind but not the experience to make it a masterpiece as they ended up doing with most of their songs
Can't wait for you to check out My Arms, Your Hearse. Some absolute gems on that album. April Ethereal, When, Demon of the Fall... plenty more.
Agree with your thoughts on Black Rose Immortal, not a cohesive song and struggles to hold the attention for the full 20 minutes.
Think I'll be doing Demon on Monday!
April ethereal is my personal favourite of mayh
I moved on from pre-Blackwater Park-albums ~20 years ago although I listen to a couple of gems now and then, this song and Face of Melinda in particular. Still Life (the album The Moor is off of) is the last of their early era albums and the most refined of those. Then Blackwater Park arrived and with that and the albums up until and including Watershed they knocked it out of the park as far as I'm concerned when it came to mixing progressive metal, folk influences, jazz/fusion chords and growl+clean vocals.
Thanks for the input. I really appreciate your knowledge and contribution!
I completly understand your note on black rose imortal, i really enjoy that song but i think they step up their game since then.
Opeth's greatest song period!
Please do faith in others from pale Communion. It is incredibly emotional, definitely one of the highlights from the Prog era
Will be doing soon. Thanks
Sonically Disruptive Thanks for all the Opeth and Katatonia, and I respect your decision not to upload Black Rose. Mikael is proud of Morningrise creatively but understandably isn’t a fan of its production either
Cant really go wrong with most of the songs on the damnation album.
Next is In midst she was standing and Under the weeping moon
Sometimes, It takes a few listens to fully grasp and understand what the artist is conveying, In terms of Blackrose Immortal. I absolutely love that song, as well as the entire album (Morningrise) as a whole is a Masterpiece. May I suggest Under The Weeping Moon, from their First Record, Orchid (1995). Yes, It does have the same style of production, but it's more unique and Atmospheric. I think you will at least enjoy it more.
Yes I'll give that a listen, thanks.
Their first two records are by far their least unique sounding though. And probably the most meandering.. Black Rose Immortal doesnt justify its length at all imo.
@@irockmajorly Advent and To Bid You Farewell are cool though
If you didnt like BRI its ok but you should give To bid you farewell a try, its worth your while.
I did eariler and enjoyed that song!
69th like ;p
another great piece of ear magic !!
Opeth - Faith in Others
Will do it soon.
The first three albumes from Opeth were the worst to me at first. Particularly Morningrise was one of the hardest to handle. I stayed away from Black Rose Immortal in the past, but I tried to listen it many times. Finally, I discovered a great song that still keep surprise me and I love it. A similar example is the album "Fear Innoculum" from Tool (Definitely you have to listen it) which I was not connected with it at first four listens, but now, I think that album is one the best of the decade.
Thanks, I'll continue to check out the early stuff as well.
so essentially you brainwashed yourself to liking it by forcing yourself listening to it until you liked it.
@@Celatra Opeth was one of the first bands that introduce me the Progressive Metal, I didn't understand that music at beginning. After listening all Opeth discography I realized their music is hard to understand at first listen. So, I liked so much and I listened more times all their albumes, it took me two years understand them. The same thing happend with the new era of Opeth. By the way, I tried the same thing with Katatonia but I never get into them, symply they are not my thing. Now, I have listened dozens of new bands and I listened them several times until hated them or loved them, but , judge at first time is an error in the prog world. In my opinion. (Sorry for my English).
@@alfredovaldivia5087 right, but just because you learn to love a band doesn't mean you shouldn't criticize any of their works. Early opeth was flawed as fuck and songs were like ideas glued together without any refinement or polish. plus lots of riffs in Orchid sound alot like leads and riffs from Iron Maiden.
Black Rose Immortal is one of their weakest songs, it has no coherence, the lyrics are meh, drumming is really generic, vocals are generic, guitar riffs are basic black metal stuff and the transitions just don't work.
omg omg omg omg!
Ghost of Perdition will not disappoint...
He already did
May i recommend star of collapse by iapetus. it's what you would get if you mixed opeth with ne obliviscaris. highly underrated band imo
That sound really good! I'll check it out, thanks!
Interesting take on BRI, agreed the quality is poor on the first albums, but I still think it is a masterpiece. But the good thing about Opeth almost every song is good imo.
Thing is, Opeth's quality standards are so high, that any song that isn't a full blown masterpiece seems bad in comparison to their masterpieces.
Though even their fillers, like Godhead's Lament is still very much worth a listen.
@@Celatra saying that godhead's lament is a filler is a crime in my book
@@francismcalister7811 it's easily the worst song on the album
@@Celatra I think it's the best song in there, and that's saying something
@@francismcalister7811 no it's not, just like me thinking The Moor is their best song ever written ( which is it probably is, many of the others are dragged and feel like they dont know where to go and repeat riffs way too many times ) but regardless, it's not saying anything. it just means you like it the most.
Man I really thought I was the only one that didn’t vibe w black rose. Anything pre- my arms your hearse just sounds a bit too...mm unoriginal in the best possible way you can take that. Black rose to me sounds like a ton of riffs they had and tossed em together with more standard lyrics. I’m glad you’re super honest with these things. My arms your hearse is a nasty album too my vote for darkest album maybe aside from black water
I was surprised. Everything else I've gotten in to right away.
I've asked for in mist she was standing and advent for a long time now...get to it quickly.
I'll check them out. I'm a little worried now, but those are not as long. I will do one of them Monday.
@@sonicallydisruptive U won't regret them.
respect your opinion but I think a couple more listens and you would see this is one of their best songs
Do more Gojira please!!
I will soon!
I don't like Black Rose Immortal either. No problem.
It isn't the worst, but definitely isn't in their top 10. I'd say it's still better than anything on Orchid, though. And it's good enough to be a fitting filler track to the album, with the beautiful "to bid you farewell" following up.
The first 3 albums have very bad production and their sound is poor, some people will disagree but I would avoid those albums, there are only a couple of interesting songs among them, that's all.
skabeche I do disagree... they have a charm that comes with the production. If the production does bother you, watch a live version of advent or demon of the fall (examples).
I'm doimg Demon on Monday.
_My arms your hearse_ is a fantastic album from start to finish. To dismiss it as a "bad album" because of subpar sound quality is folly.
I agree with you. I don't listen to them hardly at all, except a few tracks. It's not so much production for me, though that doesn't help, they just don't grab me like Still Life and Blackwater Park. They are great albums for what they were when they came out. Once I heard Still Life for the first time there was no going back.
Oh and black rose immortal is overrated as hell. Not every 20min song is a masterpiece
I love it when I'm on a machine doing cardio lmao. I agree though, epics are really cool, and the full display of a band's ability to tell stories, but sometimes it's important not to lose touch of what makes music hit the soul. Anthems and memorable melodies that collide with that authenticity and creativness.
