What is the worst song from Sorceress? Most upvoted comment wins (interludes, bonus tracks, instrumentals don't count)
Best / worst / underrated - Day 34. The worst song from Sorceress?
Starting to really think the people voting haven't actually listened to all of the songs on these albums, especially with Sorceress they just know Will O The Wisp cause it was a single. Will O The Wisp is a nice little song but the album has SOOO much more to offer than that lol. Crazy.
Easiest song for people to agree upon, which is becoming a theme for some of these results
Kind of like choosing songs not because they have a high ceiling but because they have a high floor
This sub is weird like that sometimes. Good song but not even close to being the best IMO
Ikr
How is it better than strange brew, which is a proper prog rock epic?
I wouldn't even rank it in the top 3 personally.
Wilde flowers, era, sorceress Are all better imo
Definitely agree. I’d also put chrysalis and strange brew above it.
One of those two should've won best if people actually listened to the album.
I have plenty and Will o the Wisp is still my favourite. Frankly it’s the only song I’d consider above a 7 or 8 / 10 on the album, the two mentioned only strike me as “pretty good” after dozens of listens
Easily one of the most memorable for me.
Usually a sign of a bad album.
given that "Sorceress" was option #2... yeah pretty much
when the best song on the album is a bonus track, maybe it's not a good album
Because it’s good
Its good but not great
Yes it is
It got the most upvotes.
Probably my fav, aside from era
It got the most votes
Probably my fav, aside from era
Idk, that's insanity.
Ikr
Hell naw bruh wtf is that best win
Will o the wisp
Lmao
Will o the wisp is the best!? 😐
People who voted for this song as best only listened to the singles released
But it's the worst of the singles on the album
Exactly.
The Wilde Flowers
Sorceress 2
I actually dig this one as a little dreamy interlude track, but it seems like a fair contender for worst
Hahahaha so many Will O the Wisp comments, it would be hilarious if it gets both best and worst but I vote for Sorceress 2
The Seventh Sojourn
I actually really enjoy this track, and never skip it, but i can get behind the idea that it fits the album worse than the rest.
This song sounds like Kingdom Hearts Aladdin world music, very specific I know 😂
Does this count as an instrumental though?
Dont see why it wouldn't.
Because there are lyrics at the end
Yeah, I never think of them as part of the same song, but you're right it's all 1 track. Can we get a ruling on that?
This song is awesome, hasn't anyone listened to the end??
Instrumental, DQed
No. There are vocals towarfs the end. And it's a criminally underlooked masterpiece as well which is easily evident with how many freaking upvotes it has right now.
Seventh Sojourn.
Its second half is very cool. But for the first half it's literally strumming one chord with no melody except a little fill between the repetitions. Very strange songwriting choice. All Mike needed to do was add a melody to that first section and it would be great, almost sounds like they ran out to studio time, but of course they didn't soooo 🤷🏻♂️
Damn you rlly don't understand anything about building something up hshshah. It is even more justified if you think it is a song in which Opeth tries musical arabian scales that are uncommon to them. I love that song
The Wilde Flowers
Amen to Will o the Wisp winning. That song has the most powerful lyrics on the entire record and a catchy tune as well. I'm glad the community recognizes that.
Ironically, I think Sorceress is the worst song on the album .
I think it's the only good song on this album. Funny how that works.
Yep, music appreciation can be very subjective. I don't hate the song. I just think it's the worst song on a really good album and you think it's the only good song on a really bad album. Funny indeed.
The Wilde Flowers, Era, Strange Brew all have some good parts. But overall I'd say Sorceress is the only consistently strong track. That still gives the album a better score for me than ICV. Their last effort sounds so uninspired and bland to me... And I'm not a Newpeth hater, Heritage is in my top 5 albums of theirs.
I felt Sorceress's melody kind of drones on where the melodies of other songs on that album were more compelling to me.
Sorceress is the song that finally made me give up on newpeth.
You know... there are other songs on the album. I will tell you even more: there are other Newpeth albums(ICV and Pale Communion) that are simply better than Sorceress.
Sorceress is their weakest album altogether imo.
Not only the worst on the album but the worst song Opeth has ever made. Just horrible stoner metal, far from what Made the band so great.
Isn’t it really popular though?
For reasons I can't understand, it is
Because it’s catchy I would assume.
ding ding ding ding!!
It isn't a particularly Opethy track, but undeniably catchy as hell.
As for the lyrics being cheesy, ...that's like 80% of all metal. Who gives a fuck?
The very loud, muddy mixed one
Made me lol.
I actually don't mind Delgaty's production for a change with Opeth, but totally get not digging the overall sound of the mix.
TF??????
The ward. I find it too campy when compared to the rest of the album.
Bonus track, doesn't count.
Fleeting Glance. Great song on a great album. But perhaps the weakest
Hell no. One of the best tracks. Mikael's even said it's one of his favourite opeth tracks in an interview once.
It’s certainly phenomenal, one of my favorites. But in terms of objective composition and quality I don’t think it stacks up
"I'm a sinner, and I worship evil."
I mean... Can't believe he left in the filler, scratch lyrics in the title track.
Wtf is this will o the wisp??? Will o the wisp worst song
Seventh Sojourn
Will of the wisp
Will o the wisp is indeed the best song off this album 👍
A Fleeting glance
Since no "instrumentals/interludes" ...
'Will o the Wisp'
The Ward is definitely the weakest. I would even consider it very forgettable which is perhaps why not many people are discussing it
People aren't discussing it because it's a bonus track and those aren't valid options for this
Absolutely embarrassing dogshit album
all of them
Sorceress
I think the ward or strange brew are the weakest
Sorceress
Self titled.
Sorceress
Wtf how did will of the wisp win
