"Everything aside from Watershed and Ghost Reveries is incredibly bland"
Dirge of November outro. A Fair Judgement and fuckin Windowpane? The evil af t/t on this?
"relies too much on the soft to loud dynamic without adding much actual experimentation"
This being paired with the acoustic/electric favours elevates it imo because it's as much a tradeoff of timbre as it is dynamics, which gives it legs despite being v simple. Actual experimentation-wise, you still have a few weird moments on Damnation, the Deliverance t/t outro and I guess Face of Melinda for melodic territory

I just wanted to start a discussion about Opeth not have people send their salty insults back and forth you guys are such pussies

But Opeth for the most part were about perfecting a style and formula more than experimenting so I guess you're either on board with that style or you're bored

The sheer beauty of this album is elevated by its focus on atmosphere and vibe compared to experimentation imo

"I like this album but seeing as it’s the third album in a row that they employed this riffing style and were just streamlining it, I feel it wore a bit thin and felt pretty safe and accessible. If they did more weird shit like the sweet atonal spiraling riff in the bridge of The Drapery Falls, it’d be far more interesting"
Reviving the original comment bc lol this got buried - think this is actually v reasonable, but again it goes back to the band's preference for focus and refinement over experimentation at this point

It's only salty if it involves highly processed foods from the freezer section of your local grocery store.

Crimson by Edge of Sanity did Prog Death with Acoustic passages (Which is the album I meant to say as opposed to Purgatory Afterglow)

Everything up to and including Watershed was an organic evolution and honing of Opeth's style. Everything post Watershed was a radical step away from what made Opeth distinctive and made them sound like a generic knock off of '70s prog even if it was "experimentation".

post-Watershed Opeth is just Mikael embracing his inner dad.
