      Are you kidding me? I am gay, you moron! You're the one using words like "faggot" and "faggy" do describe things that have NOTHING to do with sexuality! What I meant was, you should come out of the closet instead of using gay slurs to make yourself feel better. In fact, if you REALLY want to feel better about your sexuality, let me go down on you ;]

      +Chris John I think he is making the distinction between being a fan of music as an art, and genre as a subdivision of a particular form of music. It's like being an ass man. Some guys need a whole package to appreciate a mate, others just see a nice ass. That is how I see the difference.

      @WhiskeyRichard. Před 7 měsíci +1

      Orchid has some awesome experimental/fusion stuff buried in the middle (of some of the best metal ever made). In particular note are the acoustic sections of The Apostle in Triumph. Really great classical/medieval/folk leanings. I hated their modern prog/psychadelic stuff... until I got older and started to really appreciate it. I can listen to their hard stuff now and again still. I can listen to this any time. @@WFly101

    Lyrics:
    Child of autumn was born
    To a world of deceit and then a land of lies
    Break her bonds would take her away
    The stars that stands are lost in eternal sorrow
    She walks across the country
    She holds her hand up high in the rain
    Mother was screaming for help
    She turns around to stare at a scene from her memory
    She sighing, wishing her heart
    Flew through a flap of wings that's come from a dream
    That someone is waiting to see her name
    Coming to inside at the Cusp Of Eternity

I've been listening to it non-stop for a while and I still find things to like and things that make the sound even richer. People might cry about this song not being "Opeth" enough, but Opeth never settled for a single sound. They have been all over the death-metal-prog-rock landscape and they have still so much to explore and blow our minds with. Hail Opeth!

    When I first listened to this song I wasn't too into it, but now that I've returned to it after the past couple of days to check it out again I'm sort of digging it now. It's not like classic opeth, which was more about movements and emotional highs and lows, this is kind of driving and atmospheric. Its sort of like Chelsea Wolfes philosphy of using a riff as a meditative experience while chanting over it. I'm eager to hear what the rest of the album sounds like now, because I feel like this song probably makes a good bridge between moods.

    It has always become common for bands who have put their time in, and made their mark in infamy a legendary one, to tend steer off as they get grow older and wiser to make their music more towards their personal tastes, and not to give in to surrounding public opinions and pressure to continue making music to appease them and not themselves. If you watch the Opeth documentaries and interviews of Mike, you will find out how he has an insanely sized record collection of early rock albums. A lot of it abstract unknown bands from the early 70's and 80's. He spends hours in that room with his headphones on, in his chair, listening to the music in it's original format and becoming inspired about it. How many of us (musicians) have done the same in a way to the bands we like? Just some food for thought here on the subject. Let creation be, creation. Thank you.

    From the two songs I've heard from Pale Communion, I can say that Heritage was just a demo album for what was the come. There's some great moments on Heritage but it was really unfocused at times and bland. This new record sounds like it will be much more focused and convincing. Just this song on its own would probably be the best track if it was on Heritage. Eternal Rains Will Come is just as good and pretty damn moving. I haven't been MOVED by Opeth's music since Ghost Reveries, at least. I can't fucking wait for this album.

      I didn't say it was all bland. Haxprocess is the best song on that album, IMO. But there were way more moments on that record that were dull than most of Opeth's work. Wouldn't say they blow this out of the water.

      And for people like you, bragging about your supposed artistic understanding is just a kind of masturbation for the ego. Art is subjective - one person's masterpiece is another's snorefest. If you think Heritage is amazing, more power to you. Bad way to voice your opinion though.

      Its true those songs I listed are amazing. But yeah, every album that Opeth has released has amazing moments. Can't imagine how difficult it is to deliver time and time again like this band does.
      Put it this way - Opeth is one of the very, very few bands at this point that I still pay attention to when it comes to new releases. My appreciation for them continues to grow over time.

    This is Opeth evolved! Some people might not like it because they're overly attached to the band's sound prior to Heritage. But surely there are people who will love this record even if the other songs are on the same page as this one because this is great prog and you can tell this is still Opeth of old in many regards; just listen attentively and you will be drawn to the music. :)

    Looking forward to this album; it seems like it will be more refined and focused than Heritage (which was great but felt a bit all over the place for me).
    I think a lot of people don't understand that if Opeth right now made another melodic death metal album it would probably be soulless and kind of subpar because Mikael isn't really "feeling it." Instead of people complaining about this just go listen to something else? There's a ton of amazing shit out there that I can't be mad at Opeth or anything else for changing styles. Unless they started rapping or adding pop... only guy who might pull that off is Devin Townsend. lol

    • @dvrds

      @darkamyntas3820 Před 9 lety

      Now that it's out... legit album all around. I feel it's missing epic segments like Folklore's ending on Heritage but as an overall album I enjoyed this a lot better. "Faith in Others" is possibly the best track imo.

    • @aurelienbaroiller2474
      @aurelienbaroiller2474 Před 9 lety

      Alex Cambron I strongly agree with you. After one focused listening only (and a few others while working) I consider the strongest pieces to be Eternal Rains will come and Faith in others. I found most of the pieces very reminiscent of Hex Omega, in the sense that they seem to be build around creating a strange/ominous atmosphere more than being lyrical like I always considered "old opeth" to have been (from morningrise to Watershed included). Faith's has it all right with it's emphasis on touching melody, focus on Mikael's voice and the synth, and the really parsimonious use of the guitars. I hope they try more of this for the albums to come. Also agree with you that this album is way better than heritage, that was nice but had "transition album" written all over it, with its many lenghts.
      Still, gotta admit, as much as I define myself as someone who's favorite music is progressive rock from the seventies, I feel sad that so many groups have abandonned their metal vibe for an all-out "return" to the seventies prog rock : Opeth first and foremost, but also Dark Suns, Cynic (well, not so much a return to the seventies, but their last album is about as close to metal as Pale Comunion), etc. Still, all great bands, and eager to hear what they'll come up with next !

      @LurchyScott Před 9 lety +2

      ***** It's not shitty though. Yea sure it's a grand departure from their progressive death stuff but it's still great. If Opeth went down a mainstream route then I would be disappointed. At least they didn't strip down their sound. It might be a less heavier approach but overall it's still Opeth. I don't mind at all that they've decided to take a Progressive Rock direction. It bothers me none. As long as the music is still fantastic and they don't sell out to the mainstream I'm all for it.

    • @LurchyScott
      @LurchyScott Před 9 lety +2

      ***** Nah this isn't selling out lol. You want selling out? Listen to the new Trivium songs lol. That is the definition of selling out. Opeth never watered down their sound, they just progressed. Get it? Baddum Tss! It still won't attract the mainstream listeners. Most people are too incompetent to understand this kind of music. As for your dad that's good on him. Heavy metal isn't his taste but prog rock is. What's wrong with that? There is nothing wrong with attracting new listeners. The newer stuff might attract him to the older stuff more. Do you listen to Prog Rock at all like Rush or Yes? There are others but obviously those are the more popular choices. If not you should. Maybe then you would appreciate this direction a little more. I always hear fan boys say things like: They're playing what they want to play and shit like that and it pisses me off when it comes to true sell out bands like Metallica, Trivium and All That Remains. But Opeth? I truly believe this is Mikael doing what he wants to do. I'm not sure if you're a fan of Between The Buried And Me or even Mastodon but were you upset when they changed their direction? Like I said it might not be as heavy and in your face as their previous stuff but at least it isn't watered down nonsense that is selling out to the maintstream. The song writing, the music and the overall complexity is still present.

      +rusko dudesko The important part, though, is that they aren't giving up. They've *always* been doing what they want -- remember Damnation? And Still Life? Completely unique for their time, and plenty of prog in them. Damnation was HUGELY Camel influenced.
      It's fine if you don't like it, but separate a subjective statement from a qualitative one. "I don't like" vs "this sucks" -- this stuff is hard to play properly, has a massive variety of interesting influences, and there's a good deal of orchestration on it.
      I'm a real fan, and I like it, because they're constantly doing whatever the hell *they* want. The minute they start catering to black metal fans who want everything to sound like Orchid again, I'm gone. If they feel inspired to do more metal, then fantastic.

    There is a really big obsession with death metal and growling, we need to open our minds. Death metal is just another genre, whith really good, interesting an powerfull music and with a really good masterpieces such as Crimson (Edge Of Sanity), Still Life (Opeth). Symbolic (Death) or Altars Of Madness (Morbid Angel), there is no discussion about this, but, music is in constantly change, music needs to experiment and innovate, if not, what?

    Anything Opeth does is the shit. So don't come around saying that they can't change their style , they're the same. U just want growls??go back then, to one of their old shit. They evolve. In my personal opinion I love the growls, gives a kick to the song. But their lyrics are as dark and cool and nostalgic and searching for answers and observing the world, as always. It's just different. Try screaming/singing their songs. Now do it for years.
    They still express the same idea, that's why they're Opeth. All their albums about change. Letting go.
    This is their other side.

I'm sure there will be a song in this album with growls. Not like you understand the lyrics, anyway. You just want to hear growls. Pretty sad, imo.

And some years ago… back on the days when I was discovering metal, Opeth was the band that definitely made me a metal fan. It seems that nowadays the've decided to close the page of metal to start with new music and I couldn't be more glad about it. As far as I can see, Opeth will always be my favorite band.
