Ther aforementioned lack of suck is really confusing me.  I keep listening to more and more songs, going "okay, I know you guys suck.  Hurry up and prove it."  And then they don't, so I have to listen to another song.  And then another one...  WHATINTHEWORLDISGOINGONEVERYTHINGIKNOWISWRONG!!

A lot of people do this with Opeth.  They'll hate everything that isn't Damnation and then slowly they'll find themselves liking everything else.

Damnation was my first exposure to them years ago.  My ears made me promise never to subject them to anything that horrible again.  And--wait, hold on.  Bleak just ended, but it rocked my face so hard I'm going to restart it.  BRB

Wait...not only are you listening to an Opeth song again willingly, you're listening to the one with Steven Wilson as a prominent guest vocalist?  Are you feeling okay Bosk?  I'm sure your body must be taking the draining of fail from your body something awful.

I don't like you.

EDIT:  Okay, this is really frustrating.  I was listening to Face of Melinda, and it all came back.  I was like, "Yes!  Now this is the Opeth I fondly remember.  This SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!  I feel a fit of vomit coming on any moment now!"  And then out of nowhere, it just started to rock.   :(

Yeah. At first I hated Opeth, but as I listened to them more I was a casual fan of them for a long time. I had Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries, which I enjoyed but didn't love, Damnation, which I didn't like at all, and Watershed, which was... okay, I guess. I thought they were good, but didn't see what was so amazingly special about them (kind of like I feel about Porcupine Tree).

And then I listened to Still Life.

First song was Godhead's Lament. I wasn't a big fan of the growls, but I was hooked from the riff.

Hey Bosk, if you like Opeth, you should check out KrotchRaut. They have a similar sound.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Since this became a second Opeth thread do we want to just lock it and move it over to the Opeth thread?

He needs to bring his Sax next time so Opeth can bring him up on stage and jam.

Like his music or not, dude has some serious chops and can rip it up on a lot of different instruments.  In all seriousness, if he got up and jammed with Opeth, I honestly believe it would be amazing.

That Pat Metheny article about him really soiled my opinion of the guy, but I still think a jam would be hilariously amazing.

I just read it again. I can't say I have anywhere near hostile an attitude toward him as PM does, but I understand where he's coming from.

Regardless of whatever Kenny G did or didn't do for the world of jazz after reading that Matheny article I can safely say ol' Pat went from being some guy I'd heard about numerous times whom I had eventually planned on checking out to now being someone I'll never bother wasting my time on. I can't believe how much of a twat he managed to come across as.

Oh, I hadn't been aware of that.  So I misunderstood antigoon's post.  I thought you were saying Matheny soiled your opinion of Kenny G.
