They´re not boring wankers,that´s only the impression you´d get after listening to them only a few times. Concentrated listening to them a large number of times opens a whole new world that´s completely different from your first impression.

I thought they were boring as fuck the first time I heard 'Black Rose Immortal'. After repeated listens, you know how intricate the music is and it becomes special |

@ King Drunkard: I have listened to the majority of their albums in their entirety many times. In fact, I used to be an Opeth fan before I wised up.

i know everything about everything on my first listen every time. i have no idea why everyone seems to be "missing" a bunch of the sounds. all you gotta do is pay attention. of course you are gonna miss stuff if you are vacuuming while listening. my suggestion is don't vacuum while listening.
opeth is actually better than most bands but they are far from my favorite. calling a band "predictable" is pretty stupid. it's barely better than just the juvenile, "they suck". what the fuck does it mean, anyways? does the listener's esp only work on certain bands? who runs around predicting what a band is gonna do next? doesn't even make any sense.

The reason people don't like Opeth is because they're so goddamn predictable. Every album has the same excact formula and the songs on ablums aren't even connected that well. Opeth is good, but they fail in many categories
Edit: Every album consists of one acoustic song and the others are combinations of soft parts and distorted parts. Often a soft melodic alt distortion part as well

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.
