  1. You will find it easy in Queensland , there are no laws , plenty of cars with no ADRs or any compliance whatsoever driving around .

  6. Reverse dump burnout is best , you can't do any damage .
  7. Best Album ever - Nelly Furtado ( Loose ) Pretty special to me as i usually listen to Metal , first heard of this album on a qantas plane totally caught me off guard .
  8. Yes , great film clip , the song is stuck in my head now .
  9. A-ha , Take on me , i don't remember them bringing out any other songs back in the day .
  10. Try the album " Damnation " dedicated for easier listening , whereas Blackwater Park is the opposite end of the scale .
  11. The Knack - My Sharona Looked like the future of Rock Soft Cell - Tainted Love
  12. Ok Computer - definitely one of the best albums ever , similar to Air ( Moon Safari)
  13. Opeth - Blackwater Park - was probably the first Opeth album i heard , wasn't sure whether i would like it , but now Opeth is my favourite Band. Having said that, I am also heavily influenced by Mastadon, and Lamb of God. I am also into Gojira, Tool, The Faceless, among scores of other bands, This is intended to convert a music lover with the slightest of inclination towards metal into an Opeth fan. If you’re one of the “o:Metal is noise” folks who never really gave a crap about trying to understand the beauty, the pain, the appeal, of Metal, this is your chance to redeem yourself. There is more to Metal than you think, and if you open your mind, you might just find a part of you that you never knew about. Opeth first started as a dedicated Death Metal band in Stockholm, Sweden. They have released ten outstanding studio albums since they first came out in 1990. Opeth isn’t an English word, it’s perhaps the best made up band name ever. Some folks have a story about how Opet was the name of a fictional city in some novel, which stands for the City of the Moon, and Opeth was named after Opet. Anyhow, Opeth’s sound evolved over the years, and they are no longer the death metal band they started as. Having said that, if you have an ear for Death Metal, you’d realize that their soft songs are still pretty heavy, and you can feel their death metal roots even in their softer music. The rest of this post is a list of songs which you should definitely listen to, to be able to complete the intended transformation. If you’re trying Metal for the first time, you might want to stick to the regime I dictate in the remainder of this post, for I present Opeth to you in a manner you’d be able to appreciate, starting from their more recent softer tracks, going back to their heavy roots. Personally, I think the best way to really understand a band you have never heard before is to stop listening to everything else, and dedicate a weekend to discovering the band in question. So, take this as an activity for one of your weekends, and hear them out. Heres my 15 songs you should listen to before you die . If you fall in love with Opeth after you’re done listening to this list Beginners (Soft stuff ) – Start with these tracks if you don’t have an ear for Metal. The first thing you’ll notice about Opeth’s softer tracks is the fact that their vocal melodies are hauntingly beautiful, and Mikael Åkerfeldt’s singing voice is, well, sweeter than honey. Opeth has dedicated two albums entirely to soft music: Damnation, and Heritage. The first two tracks on this list, are however, not from their softer albums, but from Watershed. 1. Burden – You might want to skip the last part where the guitars are gradually put out of tune to create a psychedelic effect. 2. Coil – This is the only Opeth track with a female vocalist. 3. Hope Leaves – One of the best softer tracks. 4. Harvest – This is from Blackwater Park, one of Opeth’s heavier albums. The vocals spring up on you, as the chord progression changes suddenly when the vocals start. After you’ve heard this song once, play the song from the beginning, and try to sing along in the correct scale. It took me a dozen tries to get the correct scale. 5. Devil’s Orchard – This is perhaps the heaviest of the softer tracks, and this is your portal to the next set of songs. This was incidentally the first song that I ever saw Opeth play live. Intermediate (Some of Opeth’s heavier tracks) – This set of tracks is significantly heavier than those in the last set. Opeth’s diversity is most palpable in these tracks: there are moments of absolute calm, and moments of utter chaos. Opeth’s music is really powerful, and is a sublime expression of life, with all the turns and the bends. 1. The Drapery Falls – Starts off soft, grows heavier, quintessential Opeth track. 2. Funeral Portrait – Great Bass, great vocals. Starts heavy. 3. Baying of the Hounds – One of the heavier tracks on the Ghost Reveries album. This is my favourite album, alongside Blackwater Park. 4. Hessian Peel – Another haunting track, this has elements of Black Metal. One of the riffs in the track reminds me of Dimmu Borgir. 5. The Grand Conjuration – One of my favourite Opeth tracks, the music is really powerful. Advanced (Expect some Anal Bleeding; this is the good shit) – Opeth started as a death metal band. These are the tracks which are windows into Opeth’s true soul: the darkness inside is pitch black. 1. Reverie, Harlequin Forest – This was a song which I paid attention to really late in my life with Opeth. It was my favourite track for a long time, until I rediscovered the Moor. 2. Deliverance – This is regarded as one of the fastest Opeth tracks. 3. Heir Apparent – One of the best death metal tracks in history. 4. The Moor – This is my current favourite Opeth Track. If you find the studio version, the riff that marks the beginning of the song is the most morbid riff in musical history. And this song has a great introduction. 5. Ghost of Perdition – I saved the best for the last. This is arguably the best song ever written. I hope you realize that Opeth is more than just these fifteen songs listed here. Opeth is beyond what can be expressed in words .
