Unexpected!!!
The single edit of "Burden" takes away from the beauty of the full song. So to me that track is a throw away, but the other 2 are treats. The track "Mellotron Heart" is an alternate recording of the song "Porcelain Heart" which was originally only available through the bands website on the first 300 pre-orders of the album! So i was shocked to see that song included on here. Then there's the song "Would?" which is a cover song, originally performed by Alice In Chains. For the hardcore Opeth fan (like myself) this is an essential missing piece to the puzzle. The more Opeth the better!
This ain't your daddies Opeth.
Okay, first off I'd like to point out that I am Hardcore Opeth. I have been so for a good ten years or so, and I've heard it all, seen them live a couple of times, and I will always be an Opeth fan. With that said, I think this version of 'Would?' is utter shite. No growling, and only the barest enthusiasm for this song is displayed. I'll listen to it again and again, like everything else Opeth has done, but this is not what I was hoping to hear. Mellotron Heart is beautiful and haunting, and I've had this song in my library for a few months, and all in all it's a great contrast to the power of Porcelain Heart-I give it 4 stars. As far as I am concerned, who the hell wants an Edited version of 'Burden' anyway? It's bad enough that this song was shortened for the video, which I can understand due to time constraints on MTV and such, but Opeth never needed MTV popularity to begin with. Opeth got where they are by writing songs that average over ten minutes, songs filled with pain and suffering, life and death, and those of us who truly appreciate their craft don't give a damn about anything else, or where they are on the charts. I hope that Opeth sees what a lot of their fans are seeing, and take steps to correct it before they become another casualty of what seems to be an increasing trend. Never the less, I think that any Opeth fan should have these songs in their collection.
Let's get something straight people
#1- Burden is an edit, so yes of course it's boring #2- Mellotron Heart is a remix of Porcelain Heart, played on a mellotron, AND is shorter than the original... so YES of course it's not that great. #3- The cover of AIC's "Would?" is pretty interesting to say the least. It's your own opinion on Opeth's take but there's no denying that it's a respectable and solid cover song at least. This EP is nothing really new (except for the long awaited cover of Would?), and it shouldn't take that much to figure it out. Nothing more than an "extras" album with an edit, a remix, and a cover. Stop your whining. Opeth is no less amazing than they have been in the past, and that's what matters. Thanks, and Opeth, thanks for finally releasing Would?. Splendid job!
