Great stuff, nonetheless.

I love the vocals he did for that album, those parts are so cool. I like his voice there better than in Opeth. His solo is cool too.

Crimson is certainly a masterpiece. The most focused and consistently brilliant of EoS's releases. It's strange to think that Dan has said Crimson would have sounded like Moontower if he would have had complete control...I love Moontower but thank christ for the other guys, or I'd have lost one of my favorite pieces of music.

your post with that sig is maybe a bit ironic

benny larsson was maybe after dan the 2nd member with most contributions, right? and he didnt have double bass

Well it's kind of a joke, haha, but I wouldn't exactly call the drumming on Crimson berserk anyway. Though he has a pretty quick foot.

Still, his drumming has always kind of bothered me, I suppose that's why. I'll never see the point of limiting yourself to a single bass drum when you're playing extreme music, it limited his range of things to do in the band (thrash beat anyone?). He was a great drummer, but he could have done a lot more.

True, Moontower is great, but Crimson is the shit. Crimson II is great too but nowhere near C1 IMO.

I just got PA its a very cool album.

rawr1616 · July 7th, 2006, 02:46 AM

EoS's Crimson is SOOOO AWESOME, all 40 minutes of it go all out and keep me rocking the whole way through and Crimson II is awesome as well!!!

well.. to explain it in detail is very very complicated, but the short version will help you out: it´s the answer to life, the universe, and everything

^ Strange circumstances. I'm not sure what it means (I rarely read), but it sounds positive, so I'll stick with it.

chrisdoig24k · August 27th, 2006, 01:24 AM

7*8 my boys
back to Crimson - its god

Dalkaen · August 27th, 2006, 11:19 PM

Purgatory Afterglow is pretty good, but nothing amazing. Crimson is a lot better, in my opinion.

chrisdoig24k · August 28th, 2006, 06:25 AM

I was reading an interview with Dan about Crimson... Its such an amazing song, I never really thought about an actual human writing that song... I mean, what kind of humans could actually do such an epic, brilliant song? Wow... If anybody knows what I mean, i'll give you an eHug...
But seriously, imagine if you had written that song... imagine if you had the capability to write something CLOSE to that... all hail Lord Swano

AnTz0r · August 28th, 2006, 07:20 AM

actualy they wrote one song also because they thought it would be easier than writing 9 separate songs

paradoxile · August 28th, 2006, 07:42 AM

makes it really hard to memorize and do cover versions of Crimson...in it's entirety off course...not just some segments of it

AnTz0r · August 28th, 2006, 07:56 AM

did anybody ever play crimson live?

paradoxile · August 28th, 2006, 08:08 AM

I know EoS played parts of it live

Lamers5150 · August 30th, 2006, 11:28 PM

This may be going out on a limb but personally I prefer Crimson 2, Crimson is amazing, but its a matter of opinion. And what I think would be really amazing is if Mr.Swano and Mikael teamed up and wrote a "crimson III", maybe not the same story line, but the same idea musically

Wounded soul · May 23rd, 2008, 01:51 PM

It´s now 12 years old and it still so damn amazing.
There is that part 26:56 to 29:30 where dan´s voice is very soft and clean, still it kicked my balls out of window, haven´t heard dan singing like that in a while and now i want more that soft and clean voice, don´t care what album but all is that i want it more.

Three amigos · May 23rd, 2008, 03:03 PM

I love this album.....MASTERPIECE!!!

OPETH_DT · May 23rd, 2008, 04:26 PM

This is the album that fully got me into death metal. I was listening to a friend's show at the time when he was still here in the U.S., and I could not believe what I was hearing. As soon as I found a store that carried it, I went there and bought it. It still sounds fresh and original to me to this very day.

Right on! 42 is the answer to the ultimate question. Whats the ultimate question? Who knows, we'll have to wait another 10,000 years to find out. But the answer most certainly is 42.

As for Crimson... Wow... simply put, its a damn masterpiece. And pretty much one of the best pieces of music out there. Its like an orgasm for the ear.
