[QUOTE=Hakita;38033731]That probably means that I wont.
Honestly, I've gotten tired of most prog rock.
Most prog rock tries to sound the exact same, which REALLY annoys me and is also the reason why I nowadays rarely listen to 70's prog anymore.
Still, I'll give it a shot.[/QUOTE]
nah, it's a bit jazzy, metally and takes a nice vibe from the 70s prog greats. Great drumming too.

Alright, I rarely do, but this time I'll take your word on it.
when things are jazzy it's a good thing

what about ironic t shirts that's like the main stereotype for hipster apparel
Done with Johnnytwentythree's JXXIII
Pretty decent post rock.
Kept a good atmosphere for the entirety of the album and had a few memorable moments here and there.
Towards the end it felt really epic since I was listening to it while watching the Stratos jump.
Could've been better, but I still quite enjoyed it.
Last, but not least is Eluvium's Copia
[editline]14th October 2012[/editline]
And there went Eluvium's Copia.
Damn great epic orchestral ambient.
The overall feel was fantastic, the atmosphere was great and the piano songs were incredible.
Hell of a way to end an album marathon.
That concludes my mini-review album marathon thing.
I'm finishing up the visual versions of the reviews and then I'll post them in the album rating thread.
Holy shit The Avett Brothers are [I]good[/I].

You have a point but really this post makes me think you haven't tried very hard - I get the exact same vibe from prog metal, it bores me. Heritage is greaaaat though
70s prog has a hell of a lot of diversity, you just have to know what you're looking for
also I can go see roger hodgson live in april if I want

wow... media tags are crapping out
[QUOTE=AK'z;38033650]didn't like that one at first since I loved their other death metal work, now I love it.
Don't think much of Heritage though..[/QUOTE]
Opeth =/= death metal.
Although most of their albums have growled vocals and [I]loud guitars :O[/I] musically Opeth have never had much to do with death metal - i'm not saying that they're bad or not metal or anything like that, so actually read this post plz. When it comes to looking at riffing styles/song composition/production and stuff, there's hardly anything reminiscent of death metal at all - even the earliest albums which are the most "extreme" - imo they have much more in common with black metal in those respects. The later albums are admittedly more "death metal" sounding but again, there's nothing in the way the music is constructed and made that really hints at more than an influence of DM - they have progressive rock/metal songs with growled vocals.
I know it's a bit nitpicky but it does rustle my jimmies a bit when people think that lower-register growls immediately means that it's deff mehtal
[QUOTE=lil timmy;38044923]it's a bit nitpicky[/QUOTE]
you're probably right but i've lost the will to care about sub-genres of metal.
Crusted Black Atmospheric Progressive Arse Metal is my metal of choice.

it isn't straight up death metal obviously that's why the right term is "Progressive Death----
[sp]can't be arsed.[/sp]
don't get me wrong, I think the vast, vast majority of subgenres are fucking stupid, but imo death metal is a distinct enough strain of metal in its own right. it's not that Opeth aren't straight up death metal, it's that they aren't death metal at all/don't contain DM elements that are worth mentioning. they were just on the extreme side of progressive metal

technical death then?
[editline]15th October 2012[/editline]
then again I wouldn't say Opeth are as extreme as Meshuggah.
Some guys I know are in a band and I actually quite liked this song of theirs:

what is it that you don't understand about "not death metal" :( like I said, you could probably call the first 2-3 albums black metal - melodic black metal if you were being a bit anal, the rest of it imo is progressive metal. I'll say it again, growls =/= death metal

yeah but don't death metal have connections to black metal anyway.
whole discussion is redundant btw :v:
UNLESS, we're talking about trvness.

i take pooping more seriously that metalsucks imo. Pooping in a healthy and comfortable manner is much more important to me.
@Ak'z
well obviously there are connections, second wave BM took off because death metal was saturating the market and getting all flabby and a bit old hat so some norwegian racist tabletop gamers decided to don the facepaint and record a few demos in their nan's shed.
even if you're going to call opeth death metal because they were a bit black metal that sound is more or less gone by Blackwater Park when they begin their journey to becoming a King Crimson tribute act.

yeah i forgot to tell you i preferred their earlier work anyway.
it was probably when they got Steven Wilson over to their crib that they started into a phase of prog nostalgic shiz.
yeah steven wilson is like a destroying angel of prog who rains down mellotrons on everyone who crosses him.
i used to go mad over opeth post-still life and disregard everything before that but now i think Orchid and Morningrise are my fav opeth albums
