    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 43-48

    Hand of Doom The Furthest Shore: there's too much melody per square doom, it doesn't work for me all that well. Atrum Regina then. GNR I'm more likely to listen to Smooth Criminal again. I think it could be a decent hip-hop song! I actually like Masquerade, though the original version is...

    1) Happy new year all! 2) I know I fawned over it before, but I love Noita. What other game would still have me saying this about it, after I lost 350 times and "won" twice? None! The scope of what wands I can create is so wide, that it alone is enough reason to start a run. Hell, my folder of...

    Woah, I thought it was Steven doing the whole thing. But I also thought he sings the clean parts in Deliverance :)

    Had Deliverance at #6. Title track and Master's Apprentices are great, actually I didn't like Master's Apprentices all that much until recently. I thought the intro riff was too cliche, but it works for me nowadays. It gets even better after them, though I have to say, the scream at the end of...

    Something interesting to me about Opeth is how each and every song is its own beast, yet at the same time they're still formulaic in a sense. Which is again a little weird to say, but when you think of classic Opeth you think of the heavy/clean contrast, and when you think of the heavy/clean...

    Funnily I had PC and Morningrise side by side in my list and it was the duo I sat longest on. Morningrise is the "I'm giving it too much credit" one, and most of it is thanks to Advent. It still has a lot of those rapid changes that hinder the first three albums, but if there's a song where it...

    Third to last for me too. I saw some people say it was the beginning of the golden era, and well it's correct in a way. The change from counterpoint to signature Opeth riffing does happen here, not on Still Life. On the other hand, there are still remnants of the black metal aspect, including...

    Wooooah, that's a lot of #12s guys. I don't really understand what you mean here. It's bound to be lower rated as it's Newpeth, but it's the consensus best of those (not here I guess). But how is TLWAT related? I do like ICV a lot, enough for it to break the old/new boundary I imagine most of...

    I like all Opeth albums that aren't Heritage, that being said, I have Orchid second to last. Sadly it came late to my Opeth party and I never gave it special attention like I did the others, however my thoughts on it remained consistent whenever it came up: In Mist She Was Standing is a banger...

    Interesting, I always felt it's the lightest Opeth record and this is also part of the reason I could rank it so high, it stands out this way. You've got easier melodies, more "standard" rock energy (Era, Chrysalis), and instead of "dying men in bewildered soliloquies", "I'm a sinner and I...

    And all is right with the world. Heritage has "a vibe" and that's it. Not much more than a random assortment of ideas, some of them are more pleasant to the ear, the others less, but they all feel like they're only friends with each other because they fit some atmospheric frame. It's aimless and...
