Windowpane, one of their most mellow songs with no harsh vocals. You haven't heard this side of Opeth yet.

Opeth songs you would enjoy: 1. The Drapery Falls 2. To Bid You Farewell 3. Windowpane

‘A Fair Judgment’ is the Opeth song you’re looking for at this point. It has zero harsh vocals, very heavy, very groovy, very catchy riffs, one of my favorite Metal guitar solos of all time resides within it. I know you dig metal drummers and Martin Lopez is as always top notch in it. I can not recommend it enough I really think this is the one for you guys.

Burden by Opeth , cause its a very beautiful and emotional song with awesome guitar and keyboard solos. Any song from the Damnation album would be a good pick as well to show their sentimental side.

Please react to Leprous! They're a Norwegian progessive metal band that is insane. Every member is amazing, but their singer and drummer are on another level. Forced Entry is a bit of an aquired taste, but it's a great song. Additional recommendations are Slave, The Price, and Third Law. Please give these folks a listen, because I'm sure they'll blow your mind.

A big one but Porcupine Tree- Anaesthatize, one of the greatest prog metal songs ever

"It's Opeth, so we must take it seriously..." Mikael Akerfeldt on stage doesn't think so.

When it comes to Opeth, I have one huge recommendation: Face of Melinda. It's beautiful and heavy, and no harsh vocals needed

The Moor by Opeth !

You should do Windowpane from their album Damnation, which was the first album they did without growls and metal elements. Masterpiece and one of their best. Also, please do Leprous - From the flame. One of the most creative newer prog metal bands right now, amazing vocalist, amazing drummer and amazing band overall.

Some people seem dont realize or forget Opeth release 13 album, and 8 album in one decade (Orchid to Ghost Reveries). Some band get burn out in 5 albums (Metallica Slayer etc) but Opeth still deliver a good albums

Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name ( WITH MUSIC VIDEO)

Pls do Windowpane by Opeth

Opeth are a band that grows on you. I didn't like 'em either on first listen, but they are one of my absolute favorite bands now. I'm pretty sure if you revisit Ghost of Perdition now, you'll find something new to like. That's just how they are!

Porcupine Tree-The Sound Of Muzak. You won't regret it guys!!!!!

Opeth is my fav band so I'm stoked everytime you do a reaction of them, thank you! Some things I would like to say: In Cauda Venenum was originally written with swedish vocals, Mikael said it is the original and best version, and that he did an english version as well for fans that might not enjoy this change. So you might want to Svekets Prins a listen! (the swedish version of Dignity). Counting this album, their last four records have no growls or harsh vocals, they are progressive rock and not progressive death metal. I recommend anything from the Pale Communion album if you want some Opeth like this, which it's still amazing even if different. The Damnation album also has no growls even when they released that album in their "death metal" era. (Moon above sun below and Windowpane are great songs from these two albums) One last suggestion/request if you want a cool mix of everything Opeth can do, soft and harsh vocals, melodic and heavy music: Harlequin Forest, probably my fav Opeth song. Anyways if you read all this thank you very much guys and sorry for the long post, given that you started to like Opeth more I just wanted to "guide" or help you a little, cheers!

The Damnation album released in 2003 is right up your alley. No harsh vocals. But an absolutely amazing album. Pick any song from that and you'll have a masterpiece. Windowpane would be perfect. At least check it out if you're not reacting to it. Great work guys.

I don't think the Seal and Elton John comparisons are outlandish. Mikael, the lead singer and songwriter, is a huge fan of ABBA and David Bowie. And who doesn't like Elton John? Also, on the matter of ear fatigue: you got Mr. Bungle coming up guys, I don't think that's gonna be a problem. :D

I've said it before, I'll say it again.....you guys would dig The Drapery Falls big time

I loved this one! Cant wait for the new album. Now, I'd love to see your reaction to Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name

With a thousand different reaction bloggers you guys are still the best of them all. Much love!

Y’all need to react to Opeth - To bid you Farewell!

STEVEN WILSON - LUMINOL, both live and studio versions are excellent

Thank You Scientist - Mr. Invisible! Such an incredible, progressive/jazz fusion band.

Appreciate the video, guys. Opeth is my favorite band and they have been that for 20 years. I started listening to them in 99 when their fourth album appeared, which is still my favorite album by anyone. I’m also actually in Vegas right now. Flew in from Mexico City to catch the Psycho Las Vegas festival, headlined by among others, Opeth. Tomorrow is the final day and they’ll be closing out the main stage, so this really adds to the excitement!

Guys, as far as Opeth goes, the album Damnation would be your thing. Reactions to any of the songs from that album would be good. No harsh vocals.

I love that I get to hear this song from my favorite band for the first time ever with you guys and having my own reaction along with you both.

Heart in Hand is other pre-released track from the new album that immediately follows this song on the album.

Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name

Opeth - Demon of the Fall!!

React to Rivers of Nihil - where owls know my name

I commented way back on the Ghost of Perdition video that Akerfelt is an amazing vocalist that is elite when he growls and when he sings.... he doesn't just do everything, he does it great.

Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars Live at Sonic Pump Studios

Love how comfortable y’all have become with these reactions. Playing examples of what certain parts remind you of, the pausing definitely doesn’t bother me cause you always go back before you stopped.

WHEN DID YOU LISTEN TO SORCERESS?! Do Burden next.

At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

Y'all gotta try Porcupine Tree and/or Steven Wilson again. Friend/producer of Opeth.

You will absolutely love Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas because it is so beautifully crafted and I think you guys will be able to appreciate that

Love you guys! You seem like the kind of guys you wanna have a beer with and experience music together with! Keep it up!

If you guys want the ultimate scream to capture the pain of knocking your toe in the middle of the night, you HAVE to listen to Slayer's Angel of Death.

React to The Lotus Eater by Opeth. It's one of their best and most complex songs!

Loving watching your reaction to this track, so many exciting moments can't wait for the rest of the album

I would love to hear the Opeth cover of "Kiss from a Rose" lol

If Seal fronted a new prog metal band I'd listen to it for sure

Amorphis - The Bee

Dissection - where dead angels lie. Nice to see some Opeth aswell. Id Recommend Baying of the hounds. Sneaked its way into my shuffle playlist and floored me in its audible might. The song reinvents itself like 6 times and comes out the otherside some paragon of entertainment. Incredible song

For "the seal part" I can think of two other similar examples that are great songs to listen to: Kamelot - Elizabeth Soen - Lucidity

I think akerfeldt would like the seal comparison

You guys should totally revisit Type O Negative. Black no 1 was just the beginning. Love to see you guys reaction to Wolf Moon, with the lyrics and their subtle meaning hehehehe. Or Christian Woman, Love you to Death and Anesthesia 👍🏻

I love how far you guys have gone :D You guys are great. Keep on keepin' on

Have watched most of the rock/metal videos you guys react to and I think it's time to revitalize with these songs below Kirisute Gomen - Trivium Celestial - Skyharbor The Number Six - Lamb of God Buried Alive - Avenged Sevenfold Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr - Trivium Dance of Death - Iron Maiden The Sounds of Glaciers Moving - Corelia Marianas Trench - August Burns Red Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica Hold On - All That Remains Walk With Me In Hell - Lamb of God Retrospect - Tesseract Two Weeks - All That Remains Rose of Sharyn - Killswitch Engage Tears Don't Fall - Bullet for my Valentine Nothing Left - As I Lay Dying Six - All That Remains

A lot of people hate on their newer style but I love it. Sure, I miss their heavy stuff but I think they've evolved wonderfully.

The opening reminds me of a Devin Townsend wall of sound. Agree that this is just one piece of the larger story that will unfold throughout the remainder of the album.

Check out "Garden of the Titans", the Blu-ray/DVD of Opeth playing live at Red Rocks. It's incredible.

Luv watching you guys. I only started exploring reaction vids of music a week ago and you guys hands down kill it no matter the genre. I'm surprised you guys haven't done a Cradle of Filth song. Nyphetamine Fix is hands down their biggest song. It would also be something a little different than the other metal songs you've covered. Keep up the great work!

My first listen to Opeth, a very good song. Will definitely listen to more of their songs. I agree on the slow middle part of the song sounds a bit like Seal --- the section of the song where he sings --- "I've been kissed by a rose on the grey" with the melody at 9:30 to 9:36 of your video. Couldn't make out all the words but the same melody is there. Enjoy your reactions, both of you give an honest opinion to what you are listening to, and whether I agree or not with your opinion gotta respectyour opinion. And how both of you interact with each other during the video is good conversation to listen to.

I know you guys did Unsainted off the new slipknot album already but since it's released fully now, could yall do Nero Forte? One of the best songs they've done maybe ever, super heavy

Great review !!!

I'm very glad Opeth managed to snag your attention. I've been following your channel since the early Metal days. I remember your first Opeth. Hell I remember when you were not at first understanding/vibing with Prog. I've watched your ears adapt and grow. I get it. That is what a lot of this music requires. I was very happy when I saw how you guys reacted to Blackwater Park. Being a big Opeth and Dream Theater fan that was a tough call. As to Opeth. I respect their new things quite a bit and they are insanely creative. I often think they need a time machine as some of their newer stuff sounds to me like it could be easily transplanted into the Prog scenes from the late 60s and early 70s. I tend to enjoy their albums from Watershed and earlier more. Reverie/Harlequin Forest is still probably the song of theirs I tend to get the jones to listen to more often. They have so many great songs. You also at the end hit on something important. If you are getting too much same ol' same ol' sound... Opeth is never that. Their songs to me are still very much like consuming a five course meal. In this case if I were to take your reaction. Here is your course of Seal, followed by your course of Rocker, followed by your course of Elton John, etc. :) Always a journey. Thanks for still keeping your channel interesting and exploring.

Give Karnivool another chance!

Yeah, newer opeth is basically prog rock not metal anymore. Still good, but very different from their earlier work.

3 years since your last Opeth reaction!!! I'm a Patreon sub btw

it's funny you did an impression of what you think Mikael from Opeth might sound like talking. He does have a swedish accent but his speaking voice is incredibly cool and kinda unique. I just like to listen to him talk sometimes. The interview Nardwuar did with him is pretty funny

SOILWORK - REJECTION ROLE

Man it sucks that these guys will never hear Windowpane. That's something any human being should listen to at least once in their life. Perspective changing song right there. Oh well....maybe one day they might listen to that song on their own since all y'all recommend the songs they obviously won't like.

It's interesting that you bring up the evolution and boundaries because the same apply to you as listeners. It's amazing to see how you keep evolving as listeners and understanding influences and the directions that artists take. You started as "I like or don't like this song" and today you are delivering real analysis to the people and that's awesome! I love this channel!

I really love Opeth's "The Devil's Orchard" off the Heritage album. I think you guys would really dig that track.

Give Animals as Leaders another chance!!!!

Dream Theater - Panic Attack Don't forget to do this too...and when you're done, do Space Dye Vest, as a nice contrast

Still the only reaction channel where you are getting legit breakdowns of the music. You guys are impressive students of the genre, and you know your shit. Love it.

LMFAO that intro. Love you guys

The seal bit made me spit my coffee. You owe me a new keyboard!

I’m glad you finally got to the newer Opeth. This is definitely the better or the two singles. If you want to finish the Opeth puzzle. React to either The Moor, To Bid You Farewell or Demon Of The Fall. Mikael has mentioned that this album will have a heavier theme more of an emotional state rather than musically.

The Air That I Breathe by All That Remain Amazing song!

I got the notification as soon as I got to bed last night and was like GODDANGIT!

I hear King Diamond, Yes and Rush in there.

MESHUGGAH - STRAWS PULLED AT RANDOM

This review was a wild ride 😂

Y'all got me dying 😂 funny reaction!

sounds like an album you could really sink your teeth into for a long time. important stuff

Dream theater - under a glass mooon

The best reaction on this song. You guys are the best.

Glad you guys enjoyed this track. Opeth is so different from song to song, album to album. Opeth, Devin Townsend, Tool, BTBAM will give you hours and hours of diverse material to react to. Next Opeth recommendations: Windowpane (2003) River (2014) Heart in Hand (2019) Reverie/Harlequin Forest (2005) The Drapery Falls (2001)

I love The leper affinity. Harsh vocals are not my preference but they have their place

Eyyy this song blew my socks off although I like the Swedish version more! Ya'll should take a listen to their previous single from this album, Heart in Hand!

Uncle Lucious: keep the wolves away. Great song from an older country band that is no longer touring or together. I think these underrated artists really need some praise for what they have brought. Thank you

You guys are having even more fun chatting which is great to see! New sound and camera? There seems a red tint/hue to it.

You need (more) NEVERMORE in your life! React to Dreaming Neon Black, The River Dragon Has Come, Born or Sentient 6.

You guys should react to Heart In Hand

you should do DEATH - SPIRIT CRUSHER

Totally agree you should check out To bid you Farewell, or even A Fair Judgement, slightly softer, but man, so beautiful!

” a fair judgement “ you won’t regret it. Just most beatiful track from Opeth trust me :)

Devin Townsend - The Mighty Masturbator needs to be done sooooooooooo badly. 16+ minutes of 8 different melodies and just pure bliss. That said, Michael blew his vocals out so he lost the ability to go hard on vocals like he used to do with early Opeth and Bloodbath. He's doing growls once again but it's maybe 70% of what it once was and you can tell that it's so hoarse and strained as if he's new to doing vocals as a whole rather than a 20+ year veteran with such a wide range and command of his regular and false vocal chords. Not to mention this version of Opeth was Michael's true vision that he wanted to go for.

You've really gotta listen to the whole album in order for these songs to make sense. It's a full experience you won't regret. This is my favorite post death metal Opeth album.

I come here to leave a like but I haven’t seen a vid from you guys I wanted to watch since no guidance all good tho have a good day

You guys should react to HAGGARD - Per Aspera ad Astra

Please Muse - Knights of Cydonia.. I agree with you George, I heard Elton John and Seal inmediately when you mentioned it.

I’ve never knew those melodies existed lol nice

Hello people! I follow you guys from Colombia! really enjoy the channel and your reactions. I knew that if you gave it another chance you'll end up liking Opeth. This new album is great, the best of the new "heavy prog rock" era. I still love the "Death Prog" stuff, but as you say this band is pushing boundaries and can't keep doing the same thing if they want to keep moving forward.

Porcupine Tree- Arriving Somewhere but not here.
