I'll get shot for saying this, but I also feel they got a bit
predictable after this record. It became a thing of growls
& riffs, then acoustics and cleans, just repeated again
and again with little variation. I feel they were more
unpredictable on this.

Unpopular opinion ofc, but one of the reasons why I've
been leaning for early Opeth lately.

if anything they got more creative here and after this, integrating more blues and jazz stuff. their acoustic work also got 10x better

i wouldn't say they got more predictable at all. opeth definitely aren't a band that comes to mind when i think of "predictable". the songwriting got better though.



their acoustic work also got 10x better [2]

I think every song on Morningrise has some of their best acoustic work. They never matched the acoustic guitar playing on that album imo.

its really nice but they technically got a million times better over the course of morningrise to blackwater, which opened up lots of possibilities for them. morningrise is basically all minor scale, classical-type fingerpicking stuff, whereas on later albums they experimented with a lot more modes and techniques. hence the really bluesy feel of a lot of stuff on SL, and jazzy stuff on blackwater and beyond.



not saying i completely disagree btw, i agree morningrise has /some/ of their best acoustic stuff

Maybe they did get better technically but I still prefer the acoustic playing on Morningrise to the acoustic work on their later albums by a mile.

@jamie well what i was saying was that the technical ability *translated into* more interesting, varied compositions. i could give less about technical proficiency. to each their own of course.



to bid has some of the best acoustic stuff theyve ever done
