    Hello, I was just wondering if you guys will stock the new Gazpacho album coming out around Mid-march? Thanks in advance.

    Any updates?

    The site really hasn't been updated in quite a while. What's happening over at Elitist lately? Especially regarding Without Face and the new offshoot band with their old singer/guitarist.

    Any online stores that carry PIB?

    What the title says. I just may decide to shell out the extra cash for the bonus tracks.

    A Musical Revolution is Upon Us

    I completely disagree with this statement. The Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, The Talking Heads, Husker Du, Sonic Youth, Minor Threat, King Crimson and countless heavy metal acts all made great, innovative music during the 80s. To generalize an era without considering its innovations is...

    My damnation review

    Damage Done just seems like a retread of their past works. While the album itself isn't bad, nothing in it seems to particularily stand out. Plus I still think DT would work much better with the inclusion of clean vocals since Stanne does them much better than his peers.

    yes..i find damnation boring!

    I thought I would absolutely love this album, considering I love all of Opeth's past mellow pieces. But Damnation doesn't work and is basically relegated to pleasant background music. Damnation also tends to borrow off it's influences too much I think. Considering this was an experiment...

    Limited Edition of Terria on July 8?

    July 8 Spock's Beard "Feel Euphoria" California Guitar Trio - The First Decade Conspiracy "The Unknown" Devin Townsend "Physicist" (std.) Devin Townsend "Terria (Ltd.) Anyone care to explain what will be on this new version of Terria?

    Which album has the best production?

    Blackwater Park by far. Andy Sneap's job on Damnation doesn't really fit Opeth's sound I think.

    Is Damnation more Progressive than Deliverance?

    I just find it boring, every Opeth release includes a killer opening track (well - maybe except Prologue :) ), but Wreath is so underwhelming.

    Is Damnation more Progressive than Deliverance?

    Bah, then what else would you call it? Death metal? Hardly. The progressive moniker describes them much better than death metal I think. And since when do prog bands have lyrics about chess and robots (maybe ELP for the latter - but they're way over-the-top pretentious). To me...

    Devin Townsend

    Terria is probably in my personal top 10, absoulte brilliance. The new one will be in my personal top 10 running as well...

    Vocals

    Despite the fan I'm not the biggest fan of Opeth's latest releases, I will say that Akerfeldt's vocals have grown in leaps and bounds. So obviously the later stuff.

    BWBK new Interview with Mike of Opeth:

    I don't know about Odyssey, but I know ACoS by Dream Theater was not originally intended to be a 20 minute song, it grew to be that long since the themes in it needed 20 minutes to be explored. Personally, I just see something like Black Rose Immortal happening, which is something like 20...

    ( ) is simply amazing.

    Good CD, the only thing is the lack of dynamics tends to make the CD blur together.

    BWBK new Interview with Mike of Opeth:

    Am I the only one who finds the concept of two 30 minute songs really disappointing? Unless Opeth do something radically different, I don't see how they could cohesively hold a song for 30 minutes straight, let alone two. I personally think their best work was on MAYH, when they decided to...

    Now that Damnation is out in america, what's your fav. Opeth record?

    1. MAYH 2. Still Life 3. Morningrise 4. BWP 5. Orchid 6. Damnation 7. Deliverance I was not impressed with the two new ones, which is disappointing, considering both albums had some really great ideas.

    Yes

    Considering the members of GG each could play something like 3 or more instruments, I don't know about that. Although KC and Yes are probably a bit stronger on their main instruments. PatG is pretty good, but I would not recommend that as a first listen since it's quite complex and quirky...
  19. R

    Yes

    Octopus, Free Hand, and Three Friends are probably the most accessible (and my favorites) but keep in mind it still takes a few listens to get used to it.

    Yes

    Firstly, Gentle Giant is much more complex and progressive I think. Not necessarily better, but GG wins in that respect I think...plus they come off as much less pretentious IMO. And anyone into Yes should be getting the new remasters that just came out. Fragile especially sounds better...
