Opeth - The Devil's Orchard

[Hemi-Powered Drone]

I know many people that think grand conjuration is one of the worse opeth songs. I've heard that it's "too long for the little substance it has", basically, unnessecarily stretched out.


Anyway...

It doesn't really sound that different. Then again, with their awesome style shifts, they would have to start playing dubstep or something to surprise me

I'll be totally honest. I didn't really care for it.

Blasphemy!

Same here, it just doesn't have that classic Opeth feel to it IMO.

 

[pink freud]

Blasphemy!

Given the name of the song, might not be the best retort to use

Anti-blashphemy!

 

[Psychobuddy]

I...uhh...think I'm in love...

I dig the overall style and sounds, but the song itself is not making me go "Whoa!". Maybe it will grow on me after a few more listens, but I trust the full album to have many gold nuggets in it if the genre is indeed similar to this.

 

[ArtDecade]

I dig it. I hope they keep going down this road.

 

[leftyguitarjoe]

Holy shit.

Fuck.

FUUUUUCK.

^^ My initial reaction.

 

[exxecutor]

Awesome new direction! Prog-Rock with a little fusion and funk!

 

[Crometeef]

i love it. i sense a lot of porcupine tree vibes. i'm nerding out right now.

 

[Lilarcor]

Reminds a bit of the quieter parts of Watershed with all this melotron going on. I really like it.
But I hope they don't totally forget about their heavy side. This song with some really heavy moments (with or without growling) would be pure awesomeness.

 

[Pauly]

I enjoyed it, although I confess to being sat there waiting for him to burst into his glorious death vox.

 

[Sikthness]

This is exactly what I was expecting. I like it!

It's funny I was thinkin the same thing. I was worried about the all clean vocals and 70s prog thing for roughly ten seconds, until I remembered that I hold Damnation in extremely high regard, being one of my favorite albums, by any band, ever. I knew they would deliver, and this still sounds like Opeth, even though the production and guitar tone etc are obvious throwbacks to prog. I'm all excited now. Need more.

That wasn't too bad. A lot better than I expected, but I didn't get a smile on my face until I clicked on this.

 

[Nightside]

Sweet. I will buy the new album. I hope I get to see them in Atlanta this fall.

 

[PostOrganic]

This is fucking awesome. I really hope the whole album isn't clean vocals though...

 

[ScrotieMcBoogerballs]

This is fucking awesome. I really hope the whole album isn't clean vocals though...

It is. Mikael has said so himself.

 

[decypher]

absolutely love it.
