Well well well! Let me explain this. It was only until last week that I was hooked up with Watershed, I felt like having more and more and more of Opeth. Until then they were derelict from my sight if not due to lack of opportunity but rather ignorance or may be prejudices.

Dynamically shifts in the music, unexpected twists in the sequences and riffs is something that I had never ever expected from a death metal band. Expected - not at the negative end but this is surprisingly pleasant to have. I love their progression in Porcelain Heart and ofcourse Derelict Herds - that seems to be on the sad note.

Clear Vocals is another feature that adds a feather in their hat and again that something I love to get from a death metal band. And that's why I classify Opeth in a different class from Deicide and Morbid angel.

Now I am hooked up to their 2001 release - Blackwater Park. I hate to evaluate their work in such a reverse direction but it doesn't matter a damn when I get to listen to their variations and more variations in almost every track I come accross. Let me go ahead and evaluate their discography and I would decide whether to increment their fan-list counter or not.

I'm also hooked up to ever inspiring Pearl Jam these days. Nonetheless, Slipknot, Biohazard and Airbourne are next.

This is not my write-up, but I wish to include this in my blog. The writer seems to be anonymous but I am sure he thinks the way I would ever think! A very good moral.

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside..

" See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful"

This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son."This guy seems to be a crack.." newly married Anup whispered to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son , filled with joy " see dad, how beautiful the rain is .."

Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.

Anup ," cant you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum..and don't disturb public henceforth"

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning , he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused..."

The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.
