Music world cup

Stone Magnet, you created this match, why don't you vote? The score is Hendrix- Pink Floyd 4-4 and the album which will get the next vote, will win.

And about Lateralus being better than Blackwater Park, I really disagree. But this is just my personal opinion. I was always more into dark, doom music and maybe that's why I like Opeth more. But I think that even if we compare the melodic, acoustic partsw of these two albums, Opeth still win. I mean just listen to the intro of Dirge for Noveraber" or Patterns in the Ivy or the melodic part of the Blackwater park track.
Are there acoustic parts of such quality and beauty in Lateralus? I think not.
 
Nowhere in my post did I say that Lateralus is a better album than Blackwater Park. I merely stated that in this competition, Lateralus won. It seems plausible that you haven't even given Lateralus a real listen, because if you did, you would know that there are no acoustic parts on the album, omitting a few reticent acoustic harmonics in "Disposition".

Do Opeth integrate tribal drum beats and unorthodox types of percussion into their music? Where's the tabla in Blackwater Park? Where are the philosophical, spiritual lyrics and abstruse references to alchemy, astrology, mathematics, and religion? Spirals are mentioned several times in the "Lateralus" lyrics, and in the song, "Lateralus", the verses, by syllable, are concurrent with the Fibonacci Sequence. The time signature is spiral-like (9/8, 8/8, 7/8) as well. Do you ever hear anything this transcendent and complex from Opeth? No. Are Opeth this coincidingly intellectual and emotional? No. Are Opeth a bad band because of this? Not at all. They're just a different band that serves a different purpose, and depending on your personal rendition of 'beauty', either one of these albums could be more beautiful than the other.

As for Pink Floyd Vs. Hendrix, I would have to go with Dark Side Of The Moon.
 
Sorry pal, you don't count well... The score is

Sabbath-Priest 5-0

Master of Reality goes to the second round

Stone Magnet will do the next match

We have already 3 albums in the second round, we need 29 more to start the second round\

The albums that have passed to the second round are these

Tool- Lateralus
Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
Black Sabbath- Master of Reality
 
First of all I did not attack you for prefering Lateralus.... It is your right to prefer any album you want and I respect this right absolutely.

I think that there are more acoustic parts than those you mention. Isn't there an acoustic part in the middle of ""Ticks and Leeches""? Aren't there acoustic parts in the track Lateralus? What about Parabol, the acoustic intro of Parabola?

Anyway with your vote the final score is Floyd- Hendrix 5-4
Dark Side of the Moon goes to the next round
Crowquill will pick the next two albums.
 
.....I swear they went back and changed votes around. I wasnt under the influence of ANYHTING that day. lol.

My vote goes for King Crimson because I can stand it more than the other. Neither is a favorite of mine.
