As soon as he adopts that clean voice on The Leper Affinity I cannot help but cringe. He has a limited amount of singing potential; he just fails to utilize it correctly. I have previously discussed Dave Mustaines vocals as doing pretty damn well with what little he has been given. Well Mikael on the other hand, has done very little with what great amount he possesses. The songwriting showcases his vocal-work like a shattered trophy case housing the Stanley Cup. This in turn takes away the majestic beauty behind the achievement and gives it the awful appearance of a childs prize.
There are instances where juxtaposing brutality with serenity is awe-inspiring but OPETH do not come close to approaching these instances.
The last track is somewhat interesting until it sputters off at 2:50 resorting to typical OPETH technical masturbation.
Next time youre bored pull out a Thesaurus and look up overrated. Dont be surprised to find OPETH listed as the first synonym.

You hear that heavy, skull-crushing riff in the background? That is hate-filled and anger inducing; I can feel it running down my spine.
