blackwater bore has some of their best riffs, but holymotheroffuck do they overplay them. the whole album is like this "cool riff × bazillion, mediocre riff × over 9000, boring acoustic part. rinse, repeat". it would've been pretty cool if it was at least 40% shorter
but, morningrise>>>the rest (that fretless bass is simply delicious )
[quote name="shitty the sandwitch"]The first two Opeth albums are great. Everything else this band has done bores me to tears. I can't imagine what it must be like seeing them live. [/quote]
the Opeth live experience.
"wow they sound good! just like the record..i like this song. hmm..wonder if theres a queue at the bar...hey how are you havent seen you for ages...yeah, really..wow..another one? sure why not make it a double..no way! of course...oh why is everyone leaving did they finish playing?"

i disagree. i think Opeth are pretty enjoyable live; they play some songs somewhat differently (for example Closure live>>>>>>>>>album, although their setlists could use some work), and akerfeldt is a pretty funny hard-on bearer live. he has some of the best in-between-songs banter, unlike boring dudes like benton or nergal. although, their on-stage presence could use some work. it's way too static
pretend i didn't jump on that bandwagon about way too late. they're seriously fucking garbage as a live act, it's like a heavy metal jonas brothers, it's impeccably clean and safe and AIDS-ridden. if you are like, heavily risk-averse, live Opeth is the show for you. if you care about music, giving them money may cause you to wither and die. please, take care with your wallet when Opeth is in your area. AIDS can strike at any time, and Opeth are counting on your guard being down! Don't succumb!
(fuck i really gotta stop drinking and then going onto the internet etc. fuck)
