TGC is one of the most evil songs Opeth have ever done. I understand why people don't like it, but I think it has a great atmosphere and vibe.

Also, even though it is a bit repetitive, I love the riff.

Mladen · « **Reply #281 on:** September 16, 2012, 10:53:13 AM »

That song is brilliant. If only the rest of the album was more like it...

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #282 on:** September 16, 2012, 11:28:03 AM »

Its alright. I don't really listen to,it that much, don't know why. It is a great song in the music describes the lyrics, like witnessing the birth of the devil.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #283 on:** September 16, 2012, 12:03:19 PM »

I liked it a lot at first, but it got reeeeally old after a while.

Yeah, I think I'm with you on this even though I had TGC at 5 in my ranking.

Isn't that bit on the Roundhouse Tapes DVD?

The show I was at a couple of years ago at a festival, Mikael asked for some sun lotion, because it was ridiculously hot and sunny. Someone from the audience actually threw a bottle up on the stage and he used it. For the next song (I believe it was during Godhead's Lament) at any time he could, you could see him trying to wipe the stuff from his fingers. They must have gotten slippery from the sun lotion.

Don't know, I just thought of that

Everyone seems to love TLE - it is actually my least favourite, with Hessian Peel and Heir Apparent fighting for the top spots. Killer album, though, and probably my favourite Opeth record.

Once we're done with Heritage, someone should totally go through all the posts and rank all the songs based on average score, like Big Hath's top 50 albums spreadsheet.

you wouldn't be able to do all the songs together because each ranking was only done within the context of each album. You could get a compilation ranking for each album (and maybe that's what you meant).

Yeah, that's true. But a compilation ranking for each album would be really cool.

Damn son! Between our mutual love of By the Pain I see in Others and our fairly similar Watershed rankings, you're coming dangerously close to having a copy of Ball Blazer for the Atari 7800 mailed to you on my behalf.

1. The Lotus Eater
2. Heir Apparent
3. Hessian Peel
4. Porcelain Heart
5. Burden
6. Coil
7. Hex Omega

We're virtually identical considering we matched on spots 1, 2, and 5, and have the same pairs for 3&4 and 6&7 except they're just flip-flopped.

You ranked the title track to Blackwater Park at #6 on that album.
We do not think alike.

So, my dad just woke me up with tickets for the unplugged Opeth show in December. (they're only doing 4, all here in Sweden) If they don't bring out Isolation Years now, I don't think they ever will. So they better do it!

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #312 on:** September 26, 2012, 11:18:20 PM »

Eh, with Mike's roar in continual decline all of their non-roar songs' chances of being played at some point in time are increasing by default. Hours of Wealth please.
