Yeah. It seems that Opeth have a certain percentage of their music allotted to soft/acoustic rock. That is the predictable element. However, these soft passages often seem to be randomly inserted, and sound forced. The randomness of the frequent occurrences of soft passages is far from predicatable. It seems like Mikael is a big acoustic rock fan, and feels that he absolutely needs to incorporate that into his own music (Opeth being a band based in metal). People who don't like acoustic/soft rock won't like Opeth, because almost half of Opeth's music is acoustic/soft rock.
