Famine is probably the worst Opeth song besides By the Pain I See in Others. I just can't stand those tracks.

"Mikael lost the ability to mask his copy-and-paste approach to songwriting when he ditched the coherent atmosphere conjured by the riffs of the band's earlier work. The further you go into the band's discography after Blackwater Park, arguably even after Still Life, the more apparent it becomes that he was never a good songwriter to begin with. He was lucky to Lindgren to keep him grounded."

Honestly his song writing was at its most awkward and disjointed on Orchid and Morningrise. This is coming from someone who thinks (with those flaws aside) those are two of Opeth's better albums. Songs like Black Rose Immortal are probably more fitting of your disjointed criticisms than anything on this album.

^Yeah. I can see where you're coming from with Famine, but I don't think I can fully agree.

true but those early records could get away with it because of the atmosphere and the guitar work

Not really. Everything else about it is though.

I would make that argument for Orchid.

They get away with it because the individual parts are so good.

"It's his band at the end of the day, the band will go in whatever direction he chooses."
