When I saw them last year literally everything was slow. Plus Mikael's growls sucked and the whole performance just seemed uninspired.



I wish they would just be themselves and perform the material they're actually excited about rather than constantly catering to the fans. In Flames opened for them, and they didn't so much as touch their earlier, better material, but they still played a better set cause they played the music they felt good about playing.

I hope Mike stops with the Mariah Carey diva yelping on the next album. I can't take anymore "Why do I despair" moments.

"The Wacken gig was a bad one for them back in '08, the height of it being Mike blaming his audio equipment for the shitty growls."



their most recent one wasn't too good either. terrible setlist for a metal festival

Metalheads tend to be really narrow minded, from what I've heard :> I love this album.

The problem with their most recent albums is that they basically just copy 70's prog instead of mixing the style in here and there. There isn't really anything innovative about the music.

The problem is its poorly executed and playing against the band's strengths.

Funny how Mikael Akerfeldt said heavy music was boring then went on to play something even more boring. Congrats Opeth your now a boring Grandad rock band.

Have fun playing at elderly retirement homes where your music belongs.

You don't seem biased at all, Mr. 41% black metal/34% death metal.
