OPETH SURVIVOR 2014: Results -> Bleak wins!

[MrKnickerbocker]

Ugh. Farce. Ghost is the best Opeth song by a mile.

I vote Bleak. It's certainly the weakest here.

 

[Forostar]

Nope

Top 10
01.
02.
03. Harlequin Forest
04. Ghost Of Perdition
05. Blackwater Park
06. Windowpane
07. Eternal Rains Will Come
08. The Drapery Falls
09. Face Of Melinda
10. The Moor

Same finale as in the last Survivor... will the result be the same? Tough decision for me, I'll have to think this through.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Voting for Bleak, but my heart lies with neither choice. The top two Opeth songs are currently number 4 & 3.

 

[The Flash]

Deliverance

 

[Mosh]

Bleak is the best Opeth song.

 

[Night Prowler]

Bleak is the best Opeth song.

Yeah. So Deliverance it is. Although I'd be perfectly fine if Deliverance won because it's also an awesome song (although it doesn't look likely atm).

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I honestly don't get it.

 

[The Flash]

Voting for Bleak, but my heart lies with neither choice. The top two Opeth songs are currently number 4 & 3.

5 and 9 for me. Bleak and Deliverance would probably be the ones to follow them, though.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Deliverance.

 

[Brigantium]

Deliverance

 

[Mosh]

I honestly don't get it.

It's really quite simple actually. Bleak has Steven Wilson.

[Detective Beauregard]

I voted for Deliverance, but I don't really care. Neither of these songs are even top 10 Opeth for me (although they are top 15 Opeth). Blackwater Park is their best overall song in my mind.

Some other top-10'ers:
- Black Rose Immortal
- Serenity Painted Death
- Dirge for November
- Windowpane
- Hope Leaves
- Ghost of Perdition
- Harlequin Forest
- Heir Apparent
- Faith in Others

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I voted for Deliverance

...nope, ya didn't.

 

[Detective Beauregard]

...nope, ya didn't.

Forgive me, ol' chap. I was in the middle of typing my thesis and must've gotten distracted. Cheerio!

[Night Prowler]

Thanks to all the voters! Good Top 10, although Fail of Perdition, Windowpane and Eternal Rains shouldn't be in it... Especially the first one. I'll vote for "satisfied" for a change

 

[Forostar]

Thank you for hosting! Because of this survivor I finally gave later Opeth albums a spin (and bought some in the process). Also it confirmed to me how special the oldest stuff is.

On Ghost Reveries: the coolest songs didn't get far and the dullest did.
Also no Watershed in the top 10.

Not satisfied.

 

[Mosh]

The best song won, that's all that matters. Thanks for hosting!

 

[The Flash]

Blackwater Park should've won the whole thing and Face of Melinda is way too low. But overall, I'm satisfied. Especially with Eternal Rains' performance.
