Do you like Opeth?

buy a bloodbath album, it has the singer and drummer from opeth

Hell yes, they are one of those bands that can simply do no wrong, from Orchid to Watershed not a single bad album:D Darth-Caedus

This ^^

They are a decent band, although I find the majority of their fans to be complete douches. Never say anything negative about Opeth near them or they will bite your face off.

Kinda... meaning I respect them but don't really care to listen to them.

I hate Opeth. They fill all the requirements it takes to hate a band and then some... 1) Popular? Check 2) Long, drawn out songs? Check 3) Boring? Check 4) Massively Overrated? CheckGodLovesDead

I've heard of them, I've just never listened to them so I can't say that I like them or not.

They're one of my favourite bands. My favourite Opeth album is My Arms, Your Hearse, and my least favourite is Blackwater Park (because of the first seven songs).

If a band is popular you'll hear about them more often and it get's harder to avoid them.Erasorn

I have never heard Opeth on the radio and frankly even if I did I don't know why it would bother me.

Agalloch is better imo Juggernaut140

I've never heard of them ...I thought when I clicked on this topic it had something to do with Oprah :|

[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"][QUOTE="GodLovesDead"] Darkthrone doesn't have 1/3rd of Opeth's listeners and not 1/10th of Opeth's popularity.GodLovesDead

Good point

Well, I had to go back and listen to them to remember why I don't like them:

Opeth - The Drapery Falls

Note, this is probably a shorter, 10 minute version of the song, due to the limitations on Youtube.

1:45 into the song and the same riffs has been playing. You know they aren't bad riffs, the bass riff is actually pretty good, but they're not terribly exciting either. Would make a nice intro if it wasn't so damn long and therefore monotonous, 1:45 and I really have to fight the urge to stop listening.

Now, it slides into a long-drawn out acoustic passage that lasts until 3:56. There's a few "moody" guitar licks going on and the vocals are decent, but honestly, 3:56 is long enough for an entire song and I feel as though this one hasn't even started yet. I'm bored.

A riff kicks in that's reminiscint of the intro. Sounds droning and dull. Loud, but dull. The vocalist tries to make a melody out of the motony of the song with a sort of choir-like wail, but honestly, it isn't working. It's just adding to the droning effect. 4:35 it breaks into a guitar solo that isn't anything special, not to mention it's half-driven out by the droning of the dreaded-repeating riff anyway.

Now, it finally does something. Growling vocals kick in, a new riff to boot and just when you think it's going to go into another 2 minute long stagnate repeat, it changes, and then changes again, and again. And finally we've got what sounds like a song. It's now 7:47 and i'm actually liking what i'm hearing. It breaks into an acoustic passage, before going back to another distorted riff. Good. It does that again, to good effect. The song (or this version of it) the fades out in similar way to the way it started (a long boring beginning, a long boring end).

In a 9:59 song, I hear 3 minutes (roughly 5:00 - 8:00) of what I like. Not something I love. But it's Ok.

This is why Opeth sucks. They have no sense of pacing. They don't know how to trim the fat. Long-drawn out, boredom is the best way I can describe it.The song is as repetetive as my use of adjectives in this post. I have listenened to many Opeth songs in the past and found them the same.

I like them, but a lot of their songs drag out and sound too similar. I'm all for long songs, but a lot of theirs just aren't that exciting

It's between Still Life and My Arms, Your Hearse for me

Yes I do, 9:40-11:53 on Black Rose Immortal is probably my favorite piece of music

I still don't know how people listen to Sunn O))). I try to be open minded and I'll relisten to music as much as I need to until I "get it". I just don't think I'll ever "get" Sunn O))).
