Crazy how it was one of the last albums that I really gave a chance and is now in my top 2 I think with Still Life. All of their albums are fantastic though.
This album is indeed a concept album. The story, as set out by writer and vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt goes: " The character dies, becoming a ghost upon earth. His funeral being described in the prologue. He comes to spiritual life in April and the rest of the album covers the struggle for recognition of his foggy state. He gets to see the days of the ones left behind. He tries to affect people in any way possible. The woman is not necessarily betraying him physically, but her grief is not enough for his ego. He expected her to suffer his demise for ages. When this is not the case, frustration creeps in making him an invisible stalker, and eventually a spiritual mare thrown unto the faces of the ones left on earth." One cool little thing is that the final lyric/word of each track is the title of the next one. 'When' finishes with "When is the new beginning, and the end of this sad Madrigal?" Madrigal is a cool little acoustic song that's sinister as fuck. Given that you've loved every single Opeth track you've listened to, I admire your patience and restraint in not just diving into the full catalogue! They truly haven't done a bad song in like a dozen albums. You have a lot to get through ;)
@@charlesmiller3278 Mikeal Akerfeldt would have been better off doing what Isahn from Emperor did. They should have ended opeth and he should have started another band... In reality that IS what happened he just never changed the name.
Modern sign of a great concept album: Every song from the album (reaction/live/original music video) has at least one comment explaining the genius intricacies of the album for anyone that will hopefully get to experience Opeth the same way we all did. I hate that MAYH is fading into their back catalogue, but I love that people decades later are still discovering and spreading the joy. 🤘🥰
I want this song played at the end of my funeral! The version I remixed with the slowed down outro tempo like whenever I saw it live! They did it so slow each snare hit was 20 seconds apart! I wish I recorded that on my phone but I was mesmerised...lol
Dj played this sing at my wedding and only my wife and I knew it...it was as metal as i could get but i was able to sneak out no love by exodus once everyone got hammered!
😂 soo funny, I'm watching from oldest to newest, I'd just commented after "Demon of the Fall" about the concept album aspect of Opeth, and Yall said it very next video, that was Fun, Yall Are Fun, Love Yall!
Glad to see you guys are back. I've really enjoyed all your Opeth reactions, and this song is one of my favorites from my favorite Opeth album. My suggestions: - April Ethereal (from this album, My Arms, Your Hearse) - By The Pain I See in Others (from Deliverance) - A Fair Judgement (from Deliverance) For a more mellow/melancholy side of Opeth: - Windowpane (from Damnation) - Hope Leaves (from Damnation) For newer prog stuff: - Eternal Rains will Come (from Pale Communion) - Moon Above, Sun Below (from Pale Communion) - Heart In Hand (from In Cauda Venenum)
OPETH did it again! they are so great in all aspects... i recommend you guys "Godhead`s lament", next. another masterpiece. or else: "By the pain i see in others".
I travelled to Bulgaria from Manchester to see Opeth play with an orchestra , in an amphitheater. It was a full on weekend , lots of travel in a short space of time .I was on the front row with the speakers right in front of me trying my best to keep awake. Worth every penny. Amazing.
April ethereal, nectar, windowpane, beneath the mire, face of Melinda, godheads lament, by the pain i see in others, burden, dude..... You have so fucking great songs to do still.... Mikael is the Best songwriter ever, they haven't any song that isn't a Masterpiece.... Greetings from chile 🤘🤘
I heard multiple songs for the first time on the Roundhouse Tapes. Hearing them live first really made me prefer the live version. Roundhouse Tapes changed my life.
Good to see you guys back. You're really the only channel that I can say, "They like shit I like" 100% Amen corner or Demon of the Fall. Really, anything.
Can't beat starting the year with Opeth! Was just thinking about you guys today and when we'd see another Opeth reaction, and you give us 'When!' Great reaction! Next track: 'Burden'
MAYH is the greatest Opeth album imo. So much emotion, heavy, dynamic, raw and not overly produced, but still professional. I can both party to it and fall asleep to it.
By the pain I see in others, wreath, the funeral portrait, karma... there is so many good songs to write for you to listen but PLEASE DO OPETH MORE OFTEN!!!
Silhouette, Under the Weeping Moon, To bid you Farewell, Moonlapse Vertigo(roundhouse tapes maybe?), Harvest, Wreath OR By the pain I see in Others, Windowpane OR Closure, Beneath the Mire - Atonement(twofer?), Burden, I feel the Dark, Moon Above Sun Below, Sorceress, and maybe just the whole Album - In Cauda Venenum
Your opeth reactions bring me so much joy. Every true opeth enthusiast goes through the same emotional roller coaster you experience live in your videos. Truly amazing.
So many perfect songs from Opeth. You really can't go wrong with any. We all have favorites, but I for one, constantly keep moving from one album to another. Suggestions, By The Pain I See in Others, and Advent.
You two are ‘crushing it’ ….watched all your Opeth reactions multiple times…… if ever (& doubt I ever will) stumble into a bar and see you two….drinks on me :) cheers
You guys are crazy!!!! Omg what a great video and song! I love ur reactions because I felt the same exact way when I first heard this! I have heard them all and you have a loooooonnnngggg way to go with lots of goodness! Let me pick the next song pleeeeease? Its so easy... Godheads Lament!! Lets keep 2022 as metal as we can! You guys rock!!!
Hi Guys .. Thank you so much for reacting to Opeth again. I so love your reaction to my favourite band...you make me smile so much. This track ..When.. is from the third album My Arms Your Hearse. It's one of my favourites... having said that...one of so many 👍😆. If you can check out live tracks check out ..this track Live from the Roundhouse London.. it's a cracking version. Looking forward to your next reaction guys. Peace from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️
Absolute joy vicariously discovering Opeth with you guys. I think there are some Between The Buried And Me tracks that would be right up your alley, like King Redeem Queen Serene.
I love your Opeth reactions and the appreciation to their drumwork. In this song the drummer was Martin Lopez and he is a beast and have his own style, very relaxed but brutal. Now he plays drums and writes songs to SOEN. If you like to search new music, try song called Antagonist or Martys...
Yes and it's recognizable.. And I have to say that just in a few years I have realized how much his drumwork means to that Opethsound I love. I'm taking anything of Martin Axenrot he's amazing too. But for me Lopez's style is perfect.
This was my favourite song for many years, such a great album! And yes, it is a Chapter Book. The last word of each song is the title of the next song.
They have returned! My favorite reaction couple 🤗🤗. Seriously missed y’all. Another banger too. Starting a petition for y’all to react to Spiritbox - Eternal Blue!! I’m obsessed with it loll
Good to see you guys. I've been back on the Opeth train the last several weeks and listening to songs I never listened to before, they're still blowing me away. Maybe you should check out one of the later album's songs, like Dignity or Cusp of Eternity. They're not really metal but they still have a cool sound and sick guitar. Then again you haven't listened to a really soft one, I think. You guys should probably do a poll, there's still a lot of options.
Great to see you guys reacting to stuffs pre-Still Life. Most reaction channels start and end with Blackwater Park and/or Ghost Reveries. There's much more to Opeth than those two albums, which aren't even their best in my opinion.

"My Arms, Your Hearse" is really a great album.
My favorite album ever
Crazy how it was one of the last albums that I really gave a chance and is now in my top 2 I think with Still Life. All of their albums are fantastic though.
Criminally underrated.
@@Bixxxs I dont think its underrated lol its in everyones top 3 Opeth albums / metal albums

Last three albums - lots of bad songs unfortunately. MAYH is their masterpiece though, 10/10.

@@Defensive_Wounds ha nice, I want "the fifth guardian" by Epica as my funeral song 😂😂
A fair judgement is served 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Opeth - Porcelain Heart
Opeth - Hope leaves (live at the Royal Albert Hall) please like if you agree!
I love you both when you do an Opeth review. It's like rediscovering them with you all over again when I myself found them 15 years ago. Keep it up!
Agree 100%
Same here... Counting the days for the next track 🤘
That outro...such a beauty! Now let's hear another one....Moonlapse Vertigo! :D
Moonlapse Vertigo is one of my favs! What a great fucking song!
Masterpiece
taken away from stifling grace....
Honestly pick anything from Still Life and its a homerun, that album is perfection
@@tony854 this one and Ghost Reveries are perfect albums
Opeth for life!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Their finest album in my opinion…perfect balance.
Agreed, love them all but this one has the magic

My suggestions:
- April Ethereal (from this album, My Arms, Your Hearse)
- By The Pain I See in Others (from Deliverance)
- A Fair Judgement (from Deliverance)
For a more mellow/melancholy side of Opeth:
- Windowpane (from Damnation)
- Hope Leaves (from Damnation)
For newer prog stuff:
- Eternal Rains will Come (from Pale Communion)
- Moon Above, Sun Below (from Pale Communion)
- Heart In Hand (from In Cauda Venenum)
I want them to react to anything from Damnation.

Sorceress, ICV. Full of duds unfortunately.
@@charlesmiller3278 Ok Boomer
@@charlesmiller3278 I knew opeth was dead after ghost reveries so I really don't consider anything after Peter Lindgren left as true Opeth.
Face of Melinda is insane
Had the privilege of seeing these guys in concert the other night, and 2 days later, my neck is still sore from head banging so much
I can't tell you how satisfying it is seeing someone explore Opeth with the same childlike wonder and amazement that I once did. Great stuff!
BY THE PAIN I SEE IN OTHERS
Killer tune
You cant go wrong with opeth.
This song live at the Roundhouse Tapes if you’re interested in a live reaction.
I heard multiple songs for the first time on the Roundhouse Tapes. Hearing them live first really made me prefer the live version. Roundhouse Tapes changed my life.
Oh please yes
@@bradleycarrier4820 Yes same! for me it was Night and the silent Water live
Good to see you guys back. You're really the only channel that I can say, "They like shit I like" 100%
Amen corner or Demon of the Fall. Really, anything.
Gohead’s Lament. Or why not When, this time live from The Roundhouse Tapes. A great live video and performance
Anything from that concert recording is worth seeing!
Can't beat starting the year with Opeth! Was just thinking about you guys today and when we'd see another Opeth reaction, and you give us 'When!' Great reaction!
Next track: 'Burden'
BY THE PAIN I SEE IN OTHERS... must hear this one
One of their BEST! Freakin epic song. You gotta check out the Live version from Roundhouse. SO DAMN GOOD!
live version is so much better
@@Allen7 not so much better
MAYH is the greatest Opeth album imo. So much emotion, heavy, dynamic, raw and not overly produced, but still professional. I can both party to it and fall asleep to it.
Agree
OPETH - PORCELAIN HEART
APRIL ETHEREAL
This song changed my life many years ago.
This just made my night!!
By the pain I see in others, wreath, the funeral portrait, karma... there is so many good songs to write for you to listen but PLEASE DO OPETH MORE OFTEN!!!
Karma is the shit, love that song
Wreath is extremely overlooked
One of my favorite songs off my favorite Opeth album , stunning and brilliant, yes. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great Track! Godhead's Lament - Opeth is what you need now! Keep going, you are amazing guys!

When, Face of Melinda, Bleak, Demon of the Fall, I all first heard on The Roundhouse Tapes. Give that live version a listen.

Yep we all waited for this moment 🤣
Just unbelievable. This band is greatness incarnated.
You two are ‘crushing it’ ….watched all your Opeth reactions multiple times…… if ever (& doubt I ever will) stumble into a bar and see you two….drinks on me :) cheers
Opeth's 'When' is an awesome song, there is no doubt about that. Really takes one on a journey.
Oooooohhh man I love your opeth reactions the most 😂😂😂 my favorite couple reaction channel by a landslide
Bro your hype is so infectious 😂

Brilliant Opeth reaction as usual.... time for some new style Opeth? All things will pass would be my shout.....keep up the good work
Version from "The Roundhouse Tapes" is a pure masterpiece.
The Funeral Portrait, April Ethereal
Brother and Sister this hits Home. Solid Pick. So many years. Thank You for sharing this.😢
Forest Of October! You guys will be blown away.
I would like to see a playlist of a chronologic order of your Opeth reactions. It is soooo enternaining to watch your reactions.
Great point!
This is the one we've all been waiting for, thank you!! When you next get round to Opeth can I recommend Dirge for November
April Ethereal or the funeral portrait
I fucken love your reactions, you guys are awesome

Yeeessssss you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this 😂 I knew he was going to freak the fuck out!
Boy oh boy am I happy to see you two! Great reaction, great fucking band
Next : Dirge for November, Live at Royal Albert Hall
"My Arms, Your Hearse" is the best Opeth album ever!
The song that started it for me. It was on a compilation album many years ago when I was in high school around 1999 or so
Enjoy Opeth. They really are a treasure.
Opeth - Burden
Yes!!! When was my first experience with Opeth. It will always be my favorite song.
This song and Karma.
MAYH
OMFG

One of my most fav opeth songs.. Love the reactions👌🖤
Love your reactions to opeth what a great band and musicians
This was my favourite song for many years, such a great album! And yes, it is a Chapter Book. The last word of each song is the title of the next song.
‘April Ethereal’ please.
Best reaction channel by fucking far!
A beautifully emotional song ❤️😢
Love opeth as much as i can. Love you guys for reminding love for them
Great reaction! When are you guys doing Crimson from Edge of Sanity? It will blow your mind!
They have returned! My favorite reaction couple 🤗🤗. Seriously missed y’all. Another banger too.
Starting a petition for y’all to react to Spiritbox - Eternal Blue!! I’m obsessed with it loll
From my top 2 Opeth's albums of all time.
Opeth- "Madrigal" and "The Amen corner" in that order, thank you!
I was about to ask, isn't it about time!
If Opeth can't help you find beauty in pain, then you may not actually be a human
This whole album is a story and the last word of each song is the name of the song that follows it.
Good to see you guys. I've been back on the Opeth train the last several weeks and listening to songs I never listened to before, they're still blowing me away. Maybe you should check out one of the later album's songs, like Dignity or Cusp of Eternity. They're not really metal but they still have a cool sound and sick guitar.

This is art
You should know by now to not let your guard down while listening to Opeth 🤣🤣🤣🤣
amazing pick and reaction epic song and album
I forgot how I stumbled upon you guys but I loved watching your Opeth and Tool song reviews! (two of my fav bands) Try: Edge Of Sanity - Twilight :P
My first song. Over 20 years ago.
Great to see you guys reacting to stuffs pre-Still Life. Most reaction channels start and end with Blackwater Park and/or Ghost Reveries. There's much more to Opeth than those two albums, which aren't even their best in my opinion.
April Etherial needs its video at this point
You have to do “Burden”! You must do it!
i am so happy you discovered this great band, I did back in 2004 , by the way opeths music is winter metal !!!!!
Excellent.
i'm sure this song and camel lights were an integral part of some month in th 00's
