I base that observation on the same thing that people who say that "Kill 'Em All" is a more honest expression than "Load" base their observation on. Song writing with more focus on conventional, proven methods in the disguise of progression, smoother production values, lyrics that has lost all resemblance to personal pertinence. And most of all, persona. I remember seeing them live in '97 or something, and they were just cool guys, really loving what they were doing. After the gig, they came out and had a few drinks, their eyes brimming with joy when someone complimented them. Now... well, most of you have been to Opeth gig at this point, I'll imagine. They're about as good guys as a few Norwegian black metal has-beens I could mention... 
@valerie: I am not going to defend having a fucking opinion to you. General Music Discussion. Yeah, opinions = bad.  |
If that was supposed to be an example of your astute logic on Opeth, then you just tripped and fell and broke your fucking face. You pretty much just nullified your entire argument with the first line in your post.
Btw, a few of us on the board destroyed that whole "formula" argument not that long ago. Apparently you missed it.
