I'm listening to Blackwater Park for the first time ever now.

So far there hasn't been a song I don't enjoy on this album.

You must have not gotten to Dirge For November yet.

You must not have gotten to 0:01 yet

Gadough · « **Reply #386 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:36:09 PM »

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

I think he is implying Dirge sucks from 0:00 to 0:01 but then it picks up and becomes quite a solid song.

Gadough · « **Reply #388 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:48:32 PM »

That's silly.

zxlkho · « **Reply #389 on:** May 18, 2011, 04:11:46 PM »

How the hell can you possibly dislike that song?

Gadough · « **Reply #390 on:** May 18, 2011, 04:32:02 PM »

It's boring.

zxlkho · « **Reply #391 on:** May 18, 2011, 04:37:15 PM »

the beginning section is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

That one gets me every time.

Riceball · « **Reply #398 on:** May 19, 2011, 06:16:59 AM »

Thats brilliant.

Scary.

But still brilliant.

Also, Dirge for November is the 9 out of 10 from BWP. Sure, its a 9 out of 10...but when its surrounded by 10s it looks kinda inferior.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #399 on:** May 19, 2011, 06:49:38 AM »

Good way to describe it, Riceball. I feel the same way.

Revised album ratings:

Orchid: 6
Morningrise: 7
My Arms, Your Hearse: 8
Still Life: 10
Blackwater Park: 9
Deliverance: 8.5
Damnation: 8
Ghost Reveries: 7.5
Watershed: 8

What a special band.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #401 on:** May 19, 2011, 07:40:18 AM »

DfN is actually probably my favorite tune off BWP with a few exceptions

Zantera · « **Reply #402 on:** May 19, 2011, 07:43:12 AM »

Is Dirge for November the song that starts off calm and slowly, or the one that kinda just *IN YO FACE*?
I've listened to BWP like hundred times, but I still confuse Dirge For November with The Funeral Portrait.
They are both good though, I just can't point out which is which.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #403 on:** May 19, 2011, 08:07:38 AM »

It's the one with that beautiful riff at the end that is repeated like 5 times.

Zantera · « **Reply #404 on:** May 19, 2011, 08:17:32 AM »

So it's the one starting off soft then. Cool.

Xanthul · « **Reply #405 on:** May 19, 2011, 08:26:47 AM »

Yeah, the Funeral Portrait is the one that keeps dislocating your backbone.

Putting MAYH, Damnation, and Watershed below Deliverance?

What a special poster.

Zantera · « **Reply #407 on:** May 19, 2011, 08:33:50 AM »

Well, I would probably do the same tbh.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #408 on:** May 19, 2011, 08:59:03 AM »

We all know you're special, Mootles.

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #409 on:** May 19, 2011, 10:00:48 AM »

I used to not like Deliverance... Then I was like...

Wreath: pwn
Deliverance: pwn
A Fair Judgement: pwn
For Absent Friends: pwn
Master's Apprentices: pwn
By the Pain I See in Others: oh well that's still a lot of pwns

Not following the stereotype does not mean I'm special.
Seeing as TheOutlawXanadu did it, I would probably rank it something like this:

Orchid - 8
Morningrise - 7,5
My Arms, Your Hearse - 8,5
Still Life - 9,5
Blackwater Park - 8,5
Deliverance - 9,5
Damnation - 8
Ghost Reveries - 9,5
Watershed - 8

skydivingninja · « **Reply #412 on:** May 19, 2011, 12:20:20 PM »

That's not what I meant. By referring to TOX as special, I was jokingly implying he was mentally challenged. When you said you would likely agree with him, I jokingly implied that we (meaning everyone) already knew you were mentally challenged, as a bit of a joke on your reputation for being controversial for the sake of it.

And now for some super-cool album rankings.

Orchid-6
Morninglol-3
My Arms, Your Hearse-10
Still Life-9
Blackwater Park-10
Deliverance-5
Damnation-9
Ghost Reveries-7
Watershed-9.5

Watershed is good, but this. Oh god this.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #415 on:** May 19, 2011, 02:25:10 PM »

If it weren't for Hours of Wealth and The Grand Conjuration GR might be neck-and-neck with Watershed. I just never feel like listening to it as an album. Always individual songs. When I try the whole album, I get bored with those two songs and Beneath the Mire, and it just feels worse for it *shrug* However, it does have some of Opeth's best stuff: the holy quartet of GoP/BotH/HF/IY.
