13 albums in most bands keep repeating themselves, Opeth keeps reinventing themselves. Still sounds like Opeth, yet something new at the same time. Just brilliant!
Aw shit, this popped up on my feed and the official Opeth channel song didn't , and I'm not even angry, this is my favorite prog rock reaction channel. Love the reaction ! Can't wait for the new Opeth and new Tool! Edit: Holy shit! That song was awesome! I love the new Opeth, as a big progressive fan, I couldn't love this more. I like the old Opeth but not the biggest fan of growls but don't mind them with Opeth but the new Opeth is defiantly my jam! Really good!
9:49 That's why I really like your channel, Jim. You understand Opeth. Opeth is about great music. They will never be stuck in any specific heavy music genre. Opeth is Opeth. Whatever they do is always special and unique. That's why I love them. We need more fearless bands like Opeth.
Jim, I totally agree with you. Opeth's evolution into the progressive arena is just fantastic. I liked them before, but I like them so much more now. I cannot wait for the new album. Great reaction!
@@BayouMaccabee Although I know about Opeth since their beginning, I avoided them because of their growl singing. It was only 3 years ago that my daughter played Ghost of Perdition and I thought it wasn't so bad, but I had no idea what a rabbit hole it would lead me down. In Cauda Venenum was the album that made me truly appreciate them, even the older albums. , because it was interesting to hear how they develop. I just digested all their albums during those three years and The Last Will and Testament came as a great reward for me. I liked it from the first, but only after a few listening (as Mikael himself says) I felt even more than expected, I can't describe it. I simply admire that talent. For me, it really is the album of the year, and even more than that, because I listen to a lot of music, I've heard competitive albums and there are good ones, but only Opeth sounds original and incredibly creative to me, even when I compare them with themselves in their past albums. That's what I appreciate most about them, their albums are made to last.
@@MartinaHorvat-g3g Well said. Similarly for me, I didn't really like the growl vocals that much either at first, but Opeth was THE band who opened my mind up to it, so I have moved on to appreciate other bands with growl. Opeth is my #1 album for the year too. Another amazing 2024 album from a "growling" metal band is the new one from Blood Incantation - "Abolute Elsewhere", which is also a Top 5 album for me from 2024. Put those two albums along with: Guenna - "Peak of Jin'Arrah", Anciients - "Beyond the Reach of the Sun", and Jupiter Fungus - "Garden Electric"; and it rounds out my personal Top 5 metal albums of the year.
@BayouMaccabee Yes, Absolute Elsewhere is a sonically very effective album and I immediately put it on my list of albums, but as I said, there is not much originality, after 2-3 listens I had no need to listen to it anymore. The same thing with Beyond the Reach of the Sun. I don't think they are bad albums, just compared to TLWAT I think they are overrated. I like the album Iotunn - Kinship a bit more - also nothing particularly new but somehow it affects me more. I haven't heard the others you mentioned and I look forward to listening to them.
I love your Reaction !.. try Cusp Of Eternity song from 2014 Pale Communion record or MoonAbove SunBelow, The River , or Voice Of Treason from the same record. Music is an international language !.. 😀😃🙏🏼
After a year I STILL love this love this song. It's so eclectic with widely different styles mixed perfectly, from almost modern operatic stuff through metal, then on to bluesy acoustics on to rock, all within a progressive envelope. And Mikael reached a new level with his voice and singing technique.
I'm relatively new to Opeth as well and seeing how they progressed through the years is incredible. This was super Progressive and beautiful and fits alongside Devin Townsends Empath
Opeth have turned the corner & it’s fantastic. I have been waiting for him to open up his voice & take it for a spin. It’s not death metal, but it might actually be better. This is musicianship @ it’s finest. I think this album will blow the last 3 out of the water.
Listen to this one for the first time with you. 😎 There is a lot of Storm Corrosion in this track, which is perfect! I just love his rough tone at 4:35, much like in their cover of Bridge of Sighs from Watershed. So much emotion. Cheers!
So glad you reacted to this song. I literally cant handle the wait, this album is going to be incredible. It's nice to see someone who genuinely enjoys the music and appreciates what opeth are doing here. Fantastic song, just amazing imo. Thanks for a great reaction Jim!
You can definitely hear the Opeth influence on Haken influence this Opeth song. Loved it! I'm just glad I get to hear songs for the first time here. Please do Pain of Salvation's King of Loss. Good as ever Jim.
Another great post Jim :). I heard some Yes, Dream Theater, and Soundgarden ESQE"Ness" all the while sounding like Opeth, of course. Progressive fo sho!
Cool how you picked up the Rainbow influence. Mikael (Singer and songwriter in Opeth) has talked a lot of Rainbow being one of his major songwriting influences. His interviews are really worthwhile to listen to if you're interested in music because that man knows A LOT of interesting stuff about music.
this channel has become a nice place for me to find new prog / rock bands i might like or old bands i used to like and forgot about. I also want to "give back" and contribute to the effort by suggesting interesting songs. Ive been trying to get u to listen to APC for awhile now with no success. so just for sake of variety , how do you feel about Alice in chains? i find them to be a corner stone in alt-rock with great songs like Rooster / Man in a box etc. if u r not familiar with them reacting to one of those songs could be a great addition to your channel.
Hello Jim, Earlier you mentioned Opeth nog sounding like Soen. Maybe you should listen to Faith In Others or Burden. Both are epic songs you most certainly will like.
Hey Jim, there's a band of innovators called Car Bomb who have a new album coming in September and who I don't think you've reacted to yet. They just released a teaser track called "Scattered Sprites" that is worthy of your senses. I'd recommend watching the audio/visual track but that's up to you.
I'm liking these 2 new songs, this is the best of Opeth I've heard since Watershed. Anyways, I've already posted this once before but check out "Symphony X - The Odyssey" for an epic journey or "Symphony X - Paradise Lost" for one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Also if you haven't check out some Winger, or Kip Winger's solo stuff which is fantastic. "How far Will we go" or "Endless circles" from his solo stuff, and maybe "Always Within Me" or for some harder stuff "Blind Revolution Mad" or "Junkyard dog (Tears on Stone)"...
Oh and btw already pre_ordered the double album version of new album...has both the English and Swedish versions ....I heard they did this in Swedish originally and meant it as Swedish language album...so I will listen to it first the way he intended. Such is my growing total respect for this amazing band!!!
I'm late!!!! Can't wait for this album. You need to listen to the Pale Communion album. Brilliant from end to end. My recommendations: Eternal Rain May Come The River Elysian Woes ( this one's special) Goblin ( homage to the band Goblin)
I'm even newer to the ever evolving wonder band that is Opeth than you sir....just getting into my 6 the album of theirs....Damnation....and it took about I'd say the first 10 seconds of that album for me to fall in love with it.. Damnation shoes alot of life to the Floyd but again it feels new and epic.....so far so flipping great after 6 albums....and I totally agree with your comments particularly about how they seem to have evolved and matured. They do kind of borrow alot from Rainbow/D Purple yes but like I've said on my reviews...they are also something new and special to the evolution of rock/prog/metal....along with Ghost and Nightwish they are the living future of great original and inspiring epic music. I hope a Brit band can join in the Nordic renaissance one day....Radiohead are great and could stake a worthy claim with new directions in near future but they need to bravely evolve again like they did with OK and kid a.... Anyway great comments!!
Great reaction Jim, Opeth do sound a lot different from what they used to be. I really did enjoy the heavy Opeth though. But I do still like em, great band. :) Some suggestions as always... The Faceless - Autothiest Movement part 1, 2 and 3 Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (disk two) Between The Buried and Me - The Proverbial Below Carcass - Heartwork Cradle of Filth - Lord Abortion (Read the Lyrics to this or find a lyric video) Cheers Jim
@@rtrooperw8115 It didn't jump out at me either. But as you say it is a good listen. I will still probably put Ghost Revries, Deliverance or Blackwater Park on if I listen to Opeth. Those albums are just timeless. 😊
Jim if you like the video a lot then you have to listen to Cellar Darling - Insomnia (all of their videos from the newest record where made by the same artist as here by opeth his name is Costin Chioreanu and he has a great style of art)
I am happy with it! Finally Opeth has reached what they have been working towards since Heritage. P.S. I don't like Sorceress a lot but these two singles are magic!
I have lost some track on Opeth, and now I hear they're proggier than ever! what a great surprise tho. Is there a new album out yet or is this an advance promo? Great reactions as usual Jim!
Now you need to go backwards! Listen to Advent from their second album Morningrise. Beautiful melodic bass on that album, as well as a very twin solo guitar thing. Also, listen to Rivers Dancing by Gordian Knot
this looks like Opeth have the same Video artist Cellar Darling used. BTW you absolutly have to react to "Cellar Darling" - " Insomnia". Thats just amazing
@@WardenOfSouls - well also that you are a BIG "Folk Metal" fan too. Been meaning to reply back about that from another vid . . . Do you know "Skyclad"? Probably the "Fathers" of Folk Metal, along with Amorphis (I'd say starting with "Elegy" onward), which I'm sure you know. You may like this as well: 1. th-cam.com/video/CydjgVX5c8I/w-d-xo.html 2. th-cam.com/video/LKUvb4Q9kwM/w-d-xo.html The "comments" under the videos are of course interesting too.
Like your insights and view regarding opeths growth. My little brother still cries over their New path. Hes really Hurt. But i believe This album Can heal some part of his heart, its really great so far. And Jim, regarding growth.. Do i need to mention My dream?
Wow this was epic. I have never given Opeth a thorough listen, but I will make time to listen to all their albums now for sure. Speaking of new music, have you heard any of the new Dream Theater album yet? You should listen to Pale Blue Dot or At Wits End. The former is proggier the latter is metalier.
I personally love Wathershed and Ghost Reveries, both albums have a fantastic blend of really heavy metal riffs and beautiful haunting melodies. Diverse and powerful, strongly recommend them!
Imo Opeth has not grown, but castrated themselves to 50% of what they were until 4 albums ago. Another huge disappointment for me. Not a single great song on the past 4 albums - at best the songs are listenable. I couldn't be sadder about how a band I so dearly loved has developed.
JUST listened to it myself! A bit of Uriah Heep, Big Elf . . . back into Opeth and a bit of Spiritual Beggars (the band former Opeth Keyboardist Per Wieber comes from :). 2 awesome songs so far, good sign of things to come!

My favorite track by opeth for awhile There is some storm corrosion, heritage and the doom style from the growl era. Really good.
I'd like to see some more Storm Corrosion! Also Heritage is a masterpiece!
Ooh yeah you're right I do see some Storm Corrosion here
This might be the first time I've ever heard a song for the first time with a reaction video. Jim + new Opeth = a bloody good Friday morning!
Mikael's vocal is just insane.

Listened to it over and over since its release. Masterpiece
It really just gets better. It is going to be hard to get tired of this song.
"she is young..... faaaar to young" beauutiful singing
It's even better in swedish.
I agree. They are progressing in a magnificent way. Great band.
Such a massive sound they created in this piece, it's simply amazing.
Great video man, I agree, I love the direction they're taking they're music in
There was almost a bit of floyd & queen in this track to. Very enjoyable.
Getting some King Crimson vibes too, man.

I'm just glad I get to hear songs for the first time here.
Please do Pain of Salvation's King of Loss.
Good as ever Jim.
Ohh shit yeah, or Iter Impius, Perfect element, Beyond the Pale, Idioglossia with that awesome scream at the end. They've got plenty of awesome stuff.
Godhead’s Lament or Moonlapse Vertigo studio version
Mind blown.
Seems to be the same graphical artist that made Cellar Darling - Insomnia? A song you NEED to listen to, one of the best this year.
