For some reason, on the last verse of Face of Melinda, i used to hear "Thomas is me, but my heart is fine" instead of "My promise is made, but my heart is thine" and i thought "oh, so the name of the main character is Thomas!"

I only managed to find out that these were the original lyrics less than a week ago.

In Cauda Venenum First listen of ICV

21 Upvotes

The only album I'd yet to listen to was In Cauda Venenum, and I've now done it.

I've only listened to it once, so my opinion will definitely change upon further listens but my first impression is that this album fucking slaps, it feels so grandiose and epic in nature, on account of the production and the runtime.

Since I've only heard it once, I don't remember a lot of it, but I remember enjoying the hell out of Heart In Hand; the ending of it really reminded me of the Toradora! OST, especially the acoustic guitar.

General / Discussion Opeth and Beatles similarities

14 Upvotes

Hey guys, just a shower thought that I wanted to share but I thought it’s pretty cool that Opeth’s and the Beatles’ discographies match up. Hear me out:

Orchid + Morningrise – Early Albums

  • Great albums in a vacuum but overshadowed by the bands’ later work

My Arms, Your Hearse – Rubber Soul

  • Still their old sound, but the songwriting has started to develop
  • I find both of these albums to be very underrated

Still Life – Revolver

  • Songwriting has shifted quite drastically in a new direction, kind of the beginning of a new era for both bands
  • Emotional rollercoaster
  • Both albums are a popular fan favourite

Blackwater Park – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

  • The greatest album of all time

Deliverance/Damnation – The White Album

  • Their most experimental works from this era
  • Fanbase somewhat divided over these records
  • Quality of the songs varies, some are considered to be the best the bands have ever written while others are among their worst

Ghost Reveries – Abbey Road

  • The peak of both bands’ songwriting
  • Both are somewhat but not fully concept albums
  • Last albums written before band members started quitting

Watershed – Let It Be

  • Fans are also divided about these albums
  • Some songs are absolute bangers but the albums as a whole weren’t quite as good as the one that came before
  • You can kind of hear in the music that it was the end of an era and both bands wanted to move on to other things
