There is no redemption for this man.... Truly an epic song, the whole album is incredible, but this song particularly... His guilt will force him to die alone.
This album and band have restored my faith, that there is still good music out there and non of this nonsense that people say that the only good music, is music from the past.
@LOL11306 best part is when they play it live, its exactly like it is on the album. he said he knows fans came to hear the song as it is, so he tries not to change it. fuckin awesome!!!!
@MetalliTheater25 You didn't understand what he was saying, even though he was completely wrong in what he was saying, but he was saying that only Opeth would have one 40 seconds INTO the song, not a 40 second long solo. That part was only a melody, not a guitar solo so he was wrong anyway. And other bands have solos way earlier. Such as Snuff by Slayer, it starts off with guitar solos. I could also name other songs with solos that start earlier but whatever.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Opeth always make me fall asleep...they bore me a lot. They should be called - Opeth the Lullaby Writer ! I dont think men like Opeth got girlfriends as they should be boring as Opeth.
how did the top comment get that much thumbs up? 67 people love that this song is nobody elses favourite but its their favourite? thats an obvious contradiction right there, staring you in the face.
its my favourite opeth song too, and i heavily doubt its nobody elses. sure, they have a load of other awesome songs, but most people who are into prog metal but not into death metal that much will choose this song as their favourite.
April Ethereal, Deliverance, Closure, Harlequin Forest, Blackwater Park, Heir Apparent, The Lotus Eater...... Damn, Opeth songs really have the best outros .
@Swooper86 actually reverie isn't part of atonement either, it's a hidden track. cause if you notice when listening to the cd when it goes into reverie the track number changes to 5, which is harlequin forest, but when you start right at track 5 it just plays harlequin forest, so you can only get to it by listening to all of atonement it's trippy
@dom1785 I troll, and I love Opeth. So according to you, Opeth doesnt make good music? Get the fuck out u little faggot. No need for that ignorance here.
I'm a huge dream theater fan and i'm just starting to get into opeth. I got ghost reveries and still life. listened to both all the way through and i'm now just letting it sink in. The growling vocals, something i'm not used to are starting to grow on me and i'm trying to keep an open mind about it. But what is a really good cd to get into opeth? for a dream theater fan? i think i like ghost reveries the most out of the two i got.
i also used to hate those death metal growls but i kept an open mind too and now i love them. also be careful with opeth. they are so good that if you learn to love their style and appreciate everything they do then you will not be able to stop thinking about their music. it can be distracting, but with opeth in my head constantly i am always happy
Certainly because this is easy listening music, with no grand interest except it's cool to here classical harmonics and supposed complex structure, with no suprise in it. I mean this band's like Ben Harper, for metal. It's good, well executed, proper, but so obvious, so easy... how can you feel secluded when you belong to the thousand of people group liking this?
It's actually quite amusing because the danger is in the pop music on the radio and the tv. All that music does is breed conformity, materialism and sexualizes women. Opeth may have some bleak lyrics but at least they are original. If this worlds needs anything it needs more original thought and creativity.
@KingLewcifer Exactly. It's easy to prejudice metal music, but I think that's been significant for the evolution of metal into what it is today. Notice that you most often don't have to "go deeper" into pop to be able to enjoy it. I don't know with you, but acceptance (from not having listened to metal before) has lead me into awesome musical discoveries.
Alot of people say O don't hang out with him cuz he's a psycho he listens to heavy/progressive metal he's dangerous and has no taste in music. I say we re the ones who are gonna be the sophisticated people cuz we know how to appreciate the amount of work and effort put into tracks like these!
@directorc1 Don't think like that. I think most people who hear one of there heavy songs are afraid of someone branding them something they are not. I think you will find that people are willing to give music like this a chance when you get them out of the publics eye. It takes someone who is true to themselves in todays world to admit they like some kinds of music because people are so fast to make fun of you for it.
@Opethfan79 I agree.. my friends always say 'oh don't go in the car with him or anything because he listens to screaming rubbish'. I seriously HATE when people laugh or mock my music! All they hear is a distorted guitar and a guy scream and it's the funniest thing in the world to them. They cast the music and the people as outcasts.. so annoying.
@directorc1 I will admit to likeing all of these musicans---- My favorets Opeth,Led Zepplin but all kinds of stuff from Country like Garth Brooks and George Straight to Bluegrass like Alison Krauss and Union Station. To stuff like Norah Jones and others like Stevie Ray Vaughn. These are just a tiny fraction of musicians I enjoy so don't let the publics eye keep you away from any type of music you enjoy.
