@@puppetmaster8551 Gojira has amazing vocals, better riffs, more creativity, way better drumming, and a better discog. I love Opeth but I literally don’t like about 50% of their songs when it’s just soft vocals and acoustic guitar for 15 minutes. Not my style at all

Pure quality musicianship. Period

good work with the drum appreciation on Opeth! often overlooked like the crazy basslines

Usually this would not be my cup of tea. But this song was actually quite cool. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 😀

I’ve heard it described as death metal’s Bohemian Rhapsody and I have to agree. With a little ode to Tool at the beginning there 😅. This is one of my all time favorite songs of theirs after all these years. It’s so good.

Listen to their Live at Red Rocks. A great mix of growls/no growls. And the music and venue....so so good!

I saw them live a couple of weeks ago, Mikael still got it

Very fine analysis. Best growl in the business. Stunning band. They do this stuff live as if it's nothing. Keep on reacting and have fun.

Opeth is a collective of endless talent and excellence in composition. Thanks for reacting to them. To the naysayers out there: Just because something isn't necessarily your cup of tea, does not mean it is without talent. Do you know how incredibly hard it is to flip from false vocal chords (growls) to true vocal chords (clear vocals) and how much talent that takes? A lot, I can assure you, Noise? Lol, they said the same types of things about Mozart a couple hundred-ish years ago... :)

Mikhael also plays lead and those riffs

Props to ma dude being plain-old honest saying "I've got no idea what's going on" lmao

Thanks for this great reaction! Do wanna comment on the mellotron not being an advanced synth though. A genuine mellotrone is an old keyboard instrument with an actual tape loop for every key. Most commonly with recorded choir, strings or flute. The imperfection of the tape speed and playback quality ensures an organic and a bit eerie vibe. There are new ones being made since that retro prog sound became popular again. Also electronic emulators of course, but that's kinda cheating 😉

I like that lost in Vegas vibes

yaa i mean, you gotta be appreciate the musicality instead of bitching "I hate growl" kind of shit

One of the best songs ever made.

Opeth - Face of Melinda is obligatory if you just want Mikael Åkerfeldt's clean voice.

My first exposure to Opeth, and it remains a favorite.

It's 3am here and I've been watching your videos from Talk Talk to Tears For Fears to Babymetal to Korn to System of a Down, and thought that Opeth would be such a good one to hear you guys review... well, isn't this a treat! One of my favorite bands since high school

The one thing that always blew my mind about this song is the amount of WTF-chords that you have no idea how to play by just hearing them. I had never heard anything like it in heavy music before that.

Opeth is the truth

Well done fellas. The thumbnail says it all. I just know you enjoyed this one. I gotta say you are robbing yourself of an existential experience if you don’t listen to this entire album. Isolation years / the conjuring / hours of wealth have got to be the best three songs on an album ever. Anyway…. Perhaps put that in your marathon, instead of back to back, do all three

Opeth is the greatest Metal band of all time imo, you should check out The Baying of the Hounds there's a section where the track actually feels like its haunted, so good.

Great reaction 4 great song

Great reaction! But, you should’ve done the live version from Red Rocks! 🤘

Opeth - Coil/Heir Apparent or Blackwater Park.

Think of Swedish Chef right away... love Swedish Fish and Swedish meatballs! Being that I am a third Swedish. Ty's face at the beginning was priceless. Not loving the growl. But when he sings at 4:15 not bad. At 8:46 he sorta sounded like Bo Burnham.😀 Drums were fire at 10:20. Almost sounds like two songs woven together. Solo was pretty good. Some parts really captured my attention. Need to listen to more. Also probably need to see the lyrics. But you are passionate about this song it is worth the listen.

@Heatwave9000 true, but their newer stuff isn't their older stuff one bit, and a boost back then would've placed them into a much higher status before their newer stuff came out... which would've given them a better platform to push their newer ideas from.

Thanks for showing them the studio version instead of just jumping on the bandwagon and showing the latest live version. The studio version beats all other versions hands down.

The live red rocks version is awesome tho and many people prefer watching live videos because they actually get to see what’s happening and who’s playing what. Seeing people at the top of their craft is enjoyable. Both the studio version and the red rocks version are stellar.

Great reaction, when we will see a reaction from one of the monster bangers from the Bee Gees, for example Night Fever, How Deep Is your Love, More than a Woman or You Should be Dancing but for sure the most played song on all radio stations of all time around the world since 1977 (Survey 2017) Stayin Alive 🕺🕺 the seventies will not complete with Barry Gibb and his brothers 🔥

The cymbal I think you're referring to is called a china cymbal.

For your own good do SOEN Opethts former drummer Martin Lopez band. Try Lascivious first!

Tipp: the live performance in Garden Of The Titans (Live At Red Rocks Amphitheater 2017, Colorado). Mikael is a Storyteller and funny Entertainer live. This has the same importance for the band like the music.

Careful not to confuse Sweden with Switzerland! You’re thinking of the Swiss Alps and Swiss Chocolate 😅
