by that i mean opeth's cover of Would? not angry chair
not to mention that he had an opportunity to belt out the "IF, I, WOULD, COULD, YOU" in his death metal voice but opted to whine it instead. That cover had so much potential and just failed to deliver.
Opposite. I could have done without the blast beats. It sounded forced and silly. The rest was good.
respect your opinion. my take was that without blastbeats, it would have just sounded like a formulaic doom song to me. i appreciated the diversity. on the same token, i can comprehend how it could seem gratuitous.
