treeduck Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Obviously the song as a whole sounds nothing like Anthem and is much longer and more complex. But just in the first part of the main riff it does sound like Anthem. Anyone else noticed this? Fantastic song TBOTH is btw from a fantastic album...

Roddy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Have listened to that album constantly since it came out a year or so ago, and I have to say that's never struck me. I'll have another listen and get back to you on that one.... And yes, I count GR as arguably the finest album of the last 10 years (up there with all of Devin Townsend's stuff, and VT, anyway!), and would be up there in my greatest of all time. It's quite simply stunning. What do you think of Blackwater Park???? I reckon it's damn nearly as good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't one of those guys left the band now? Oh and the Anthem bit is just at the beginning of the main riff that starts the Hounds off, it doesn't return after, at least I don't think so...

OK, I'll check it out and compare it to Anthem. This may be for MOTS, but I'm only a recent convertee to the amazing music of Opeth. I've got GR, BP, Deliverance (which is also very good, but not quite up with those 2. The title track is incredible) and the 'chill out' album Damnation, which I absolutely love as well. Was gunna get My Arms Your Hearse next, but you reckon Still Life is a great album? And P2112 thinks Orchid!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Honestly, I don't think it really sounds like it. Although TBOTH is a great song, and Ghost Reveries is my second favorite Opeth album, behind Still Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the opening riff of Anthem and the first part of the opening riff of Hounds sound similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And P2112 thinks Orchid!!!! just get them both, they're both amazing. I also suggest My Arms, Your Hearse as well. Both Orchid and Still Life are great. And I agree, both have alot going on in them. Lots of transitions from death metal to acoustic metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayshway Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Opeth rules. I made friends with them back in 2001 when I filmed some of their shows and kept in contact with a couple of them over the years. Michael let me and my wife listen to Damnation before it was released. They are amazing. I was a never a big fan of Cookie Monster vocals, but it doens't matter with them because they rule. It's funny, I have alot of friends that dislike Cookie Monster vocals, but they all listen to Opeth. It's a shame the drummer quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same as regards the "cookie monster" vocals but as you say it works great in their music especially as a counterpoint to the "clean" vocals...

Vicious Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Blackwater Part is my favourite album ('Bleak' and the title track are just... well, I can't put it into words), Still Life and Ghost Reveries being the second. Morningrise is OK, but not quite superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. P. L. Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I've always thought that BOTH was an obvious Deep Purple pastiche. I mean, the rythmic Hammond and all... I'll go listen to it to compare to Anthem... BTW, I was fairly disappointed by Ghost Reveries. It has no soul for me. Just a technical excercise. Blackwater Park and Deliverance were far better. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna see the biggest Rush ripoff ever (besides tribute bands) check out Tiles from Trenton, MI. They have gone to Toronto for their last several albums utlizing Terry Brown and also Hughe Syme. Unfortunately, they have no energy on stage and haven't really done much besides a short European tour with DT on their Metropolis 2 pre-tour. They are on Magna Carta Records...
