i have almost all Opeth albums and still, i don't like them.

songs are too long.

Opeth is an aquired taste of music. When I started listening them I hated them and all other bands with death vocals. Now I Opeth is my favorite band. Morningrise was their best album and was the most original, but I guess it is good that they changed. I hate it when bands copy themselves. Anyways, I think it an achievement for a band to be able to write long songs that contain a lot of different riffs.

[As (almost) allways when it's me, this is not meant as a flame]

I don't get that. To me, it's really no different listening to 3 3 minute songs or 1 9 minute song. Except the 9 minute song flows better. Opeth are changing enough in most songs to keep it interesting, as if the songs are built up of lots of shorter parts.
I do however not understand Doom Metal. What I've heard of it was mainly one or two riffs at an insanely slow tempo repeating for some 10 minutes, and that I find boring. I have not listened to alot of it though.

I totally agree. I like the idea of doom metal but I recently bought two My Dying Bride cds and the too droning and they have no dynamics. Doom metal could be extremely entertaining if someone would just do it right.

some of the doom-death bands like novembers doom are pretty good, my friend turned me on to them, more variance in the music, and pretty good vox.

i agree that opeth is an aquired taste, the first thing i ever heard of theirs was deliverance, and i was into cannibal corpse, napalm death, dying fetus, exhumed, and the like, so the length of the song annoyed me at first, but once i actually listened to it, it changed my life.

fuck you who dont like opeth. they sound different from other death metal bands cuz they dont want to hop on the band wagon and produce shit that sounds like every other death metal band.

best album: black water park and My arms Your Hearse

tran man, its people like you that make me ashamed to be an opeth fan.

we cant take him seriously anyway, look at his favournite bands:
opeth, prayer for cleansing, atreyu, skycamefalling, in flame, dark tranquility, hopesfall, poisonthewell, shai hulud, nirvana, from autumn to ashes, it dies today, saved by grace, ever green terrace, darkest hour, avenged seven fold,

he is obviously gay since he has different tastes in music from me

it terribly fades out towards the end.
indeed, his lack of brutality in his music make him a gay faggot, because poofters are homosexuals like him (the ones that are attracted to males and likes inserting his penis a rulers length into other males anal cavities)

stfu u dumb fags. you like shit for music metalcore is the shit thx

andrew your music u listen to is just plain fuckin dumb all that death metal shit soudns the same and it soudns like shit. and for the other fag that talked shit, he likes '' all metal'' what a fuckin posing fag go suck more dick kid

Nirvana is soo technical...

Its really hard to take your comments seriously when they are articulated in the way you have done it. And all death metal does not sound the same, its just that you have not herd enough. Anyway, enough of this bitching, the thread is about OPETH not what you think is shit, (unless that happens to be opeth, but then i would still prefer it if you kept your lips sealed, so as not to inspire a flood of posts trying to tell you how they are good)

i feel as though a banning is in order, but thats just me, he obviously didnt read the newbie thread, he makes me, like andrew, ashamed to be an opeth fan, and he has poor taste in music, which is more a reason to be flamed than to be banned, but it adds length to my post, as well as resentment to my heart.

let it be known that trans man shall not be respected, and that he will be another numetalbastard.
also, opeth fucking kills

Can't you just shutup and stay on topic for the thread! Those guys flamed you, but you don't have to freakin riddle the forum with your responses. Just say fuck off and let it go.

I like Damnation the best followed by still life.

Defenetly Orchid. This album has the best atmosphere, the most feeling for me (Still Life too) and an amazing complexity (also Blackwater Park). But all of their albums are great, because they always bring new variety into their music, but its always sounds like opeth.
