Their acoustic and folk parts are still solid. I really wish they'd ditch the ''heavy'' parts in their new sound. It just sounds like shit. The production for the heavy parts just doesn't work. And for me, at least, the heavier parts are the least interesting part of the last 3 albums.

the heavy parts also seem tacked on in an unnatural way.

This is probably Top 5 Opeth for me tbh.
1: Watershed
2: Blackwater Park
3: Ghost Reveries
4: Still Life
5: In Cauda Venenum

I don't see that renewed inspiration sadly. Sounds just as boring and soulless as the last record to me.

Woah, slow down with Watershed at no. 1. To me Watershed is the beginning of where things really went wrong for Opeth (though your obvs entitled to your opinion). That was where the songs really started being inconsistent imo. Then the songs with coherent songwriting such as Burden and Porcelain Heart are so cheesy that I really struggle to listen to them.
Since we''re doing this:
1/2. Still Life/Blackwater Park
3. Damnation
4. Ghost Reveries
5. Deliverance
6. My Arms Your Hearse
7. Heritage
8. Watershed
9/10. Morningrise/Orchid (I know this is controversial, but what they were doing at this point just really isn't my style)
11. In Cauda Venenum
12/13. Sorceress/Pale Communion

Yeah you know what, I'm not in love with the heavier sections, but the slow acoustic ones are fantastic. Why don't they do more of that. Just embrace the fact that your heavy parts were only great when it was actual metal and just start doing slow and moody stuff instead.

Strange how I wasn't too stoked about the singles but in the context of the album they work really well and I enjoy them a lot.
4:25 and onward in De Närmast Sörjande/Next of Kin is as Ghost Reveries as they've sounded in ages.

I feel the same sheumke. There are a couple moments here where I thought they could have let the music drift on for a little while longer.

Forgetting this is an Opeth record for the basis of comparison may be beneficial. Only comparable records are post-Watershed and even then Heritage seems like a different beast entirely.
Every comment needs qualification to assess it's validity, may I suggest the following for some of you...
'This has no growls or metulz, so I'm just going to say it's uninspired for that reason without further elaboration. Naturally I don't like anything post-Watershed'
I have others if need be.

Nah, it happened on Ghost Reveries at the exact moment the organ comes in on "Ghost of Perdition".

Eg you're a whackjob (but I love you anyway). GR is GOAT tier, not unlike your avi.

It is, but that organ is an inescapable fact and imo Opeth was better without it.
