Dissident Aggressor has more votes than Her Come the Tears?

At last appreciation for Here Come the Tears! Let's see how long we can keep this song.

 

[Unknown One]

I'll have a hard time voting for anything on Sin After Sin apart from Last Rose and Raw Deal...

 

[Forostar]

Same here. Only Last Rose in this round.

 

[The Flash]

2 votes already for Dissident Aggresssor is ridiculous.

 

[Forostar]

Someone agreed with you and changed it.

Please eliminate The Ripper. It's not a bad song, but it coming 8th last time was a joke.

 

[Night Prowler]

No. Sinner coming 6th was a joke, I'll be voting for it quite soon.

 

[RTC]

That's also pretty bad to be fair, but Sinner is one of the best songs on SAS.

 

[Forostar]

Starbreaker better than Here Come the Tears and Dissident Aggressor? HA HA HA HA HA HA

 

[Night Prowler]

That's also pretty bad to be fair, but Sinner is one of the best songs on SAS.

Well yeah, but none of the songs from SAS are particularly... great. Nothing too bad, but also nothing too good.

 

[Forostar]

What's the argumentation behind that? Maybe they are just too complex for some of you guys.

Dissident Aggressor is definitely a great song.

Starbreaker better than Here Come the Tears and Dissident Aggressor? HA HA HA HA HA HA

Easily.

Starbreaker is a good but very flat and simple song compared to the others. Typically something that eighties Priest fans (like me ;--) ) would appreciate.

However, the other songs are deeper, richer, darker, more emotional, more intense, just more special.

Here Come the Tears isn't one of Mikael Akerfeldt's favourite songs for nothing. Everything that represents the calmer and beautiful, haunting side of Opeth can be summarized to that track. Halford's contribution can't be praised enough. What the man does with his voice is topnotch. The song builds up to a fantastic climax. The solo is better. Everything about it is better than what goes on in Starbreaker.

And well, Dissident Aggressor is simply the heaviest song of the seventies. With awesome double bass playing. And mindblowing vocal performance again.

But what are we doing here? We turn to thirteen in a dozen music.

Just in case (even though I know it's too late now), the remasters have made a wrong cut. This is how Here Come the Tears really should be heard:
