eggsvonsatan: I Don't Like Opeth Anymore

InjunJoe 07.20.11	2-6 shits on Opeths face
foreverendeared 07.20.11	I think they've always been extremely overrated anyways.
Carnifex 07.20.11	They're pretty good if you ask me, I prefer Bloodbath though.
McMegaMountain 07.20.11	Agreed. Never really bought into them. Saw them live twice, as a favor, and the woman seems to really like them. I just hear them shrug.
taylormemer 07.20.11	You're probably just at the aphelion of your period.
Uranium 07.20.11	I just don't like how unbalanced some of their songs are. Especially the 10 min plus ones where you have to listen forever just to hear the part you enjoy.
eggsvonsatan 07.20.11	I tend to like some of they're longer songs. But you're right. Sometimes the stylistic changes are very unnecessary and awkward.
Butkuiss 07.20.11	" Its like, their music is too perfect and refined. Everything they've released rsince Still Life sounds so calculated and polished. I still think they're extremely talented, but rI've just lost interest. " I had this exact argument with my Opeth-fanatic friend last year. He couldn't understand why my favourite Opeth album is Morningrise. I just find their more recent work to be too perfect-it grates on my nerves. There's no charm or soul in the form of a slight misstep or something that doesn't quite gel-especially with Mikael's vocals. I mean, I still love them, but that's why I'll never love Opeth as much as I do bands like Deftones or Isis or Faith No More or something.
Athom 07.20.11	i feel this way about metal in general. i like it but i dont give enough of a fuck to listen to it anymore.
eggsvonsatan 07.20.11	Butkuiss, as much as i agree with you, I would still say that my favorite albums are Still Life and BWP. God, Serenity Painted Death is really good.
Deviant. 07.20.11	Thought this site was a waste of time?
Relinquished 07.20.11	"You're probably just at the aphelion of your period." lmao made my night
Puzzles 07.20.11	Yeah, I'm trying to get into them. It's like some weird paradox for me, I tell myself that Blackwater Park is amazing and yet it won't hold my interest for more than a couple songs at a time. Must be these shitty headphones...
porch 07.20.11	always found them pretty dull
Idnuf 07.20.11	Welcome to the light side
Gmork89 07.20.11	I kind of played them out for a while but I still love them.
Colliiiin 07.20.11	I dont know, I feel like some of you are thinking about a little to hard but I do agree on the comments of some of their later albums. List is sweet I love 2, 3, and 6.
MO 07.20.11	Their older material is by far their best. Sometimes I go pretty long without listening to them, half a year to a year as well. But when I come back to it it's still pretty sweet. I guess it's like that with all music, if you over listen to it you'll just want to hear something else.
BigHans 07.20.11	3 is better than all of the Opeth albums combined.
NeutralThunder12 07.20.11	their music is too perfect
Pyosisified 07.20.11	yea theyve sucked since bwp
Crysis 07.20.11	^
BloodSweatandBeers 07.20.11	the new record will be the deal breaker for lots of people
R6Rider 07.20.11	I feel the same way actually. Last time I really listened to them was almost 2 years ago.
qwe3 07.20.11	ya i havent listened to opeth in so long
WashboardSuds 07.20.11	† BEGONE!
bab808 07.21.11	welcome to the end of puberty
Parallels 07.21.11	trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls 5 is awesome
Gbhill 07.21.11	PISSSS all over your face!
acorncheese 07.21.11	nobody kare bruh
parksungjoon 10.20.21	cool
AlexKzillion 10.20.21	I reached that point with Death Grips and now even Deftones to an extent. Both unquestionably my favorite bands five years ago that I've just grown less and less interested in listening to.... which mostly has to do with just running them into the ground more than anything. Still enjoy hearing the odd song on shuffle but I have near zero interest in jamming an entire album anymore (besides ohms really cause that's new)
AlexKzillion 10.20.21	Think you get to a point where you've heard an artist so much that certain quirks start popping out to you that you just find more and more annoying every listen
evilford 10.20.21	cool [2]
Masochist 10.20.21	Here's how I do it: If a band you have loved most of your life has seen less and less rotation, and you don't know why except that maybe you ran them into the ground, then they become "Emeritus" bands. This isn't for bands you outgrow, or who maybe had a couple of albums out of their entire discography that you really enjoyed but nothing more...more for bands who you've had a lifelong obsession with, but don't spin as much for no other reason than maybe you've got new stuff to listen to. For me, a band like that is Bad Religion. I can spin any Bad Religion any time and have a good time, but I just don't think to do so. And I love (almost) all of their albums...so for me, they're Emeritus.
zakalwe 10.20.21	Couldn’t give a fuck. I just want to know how Toxic Holocaust was back in 2012.
Masochist 10.20.21	As far as Opeth...my favorite record remains 'Ghost Reveries', and generally that's as far as I'll go with them. It's actually similar with Dream Theater--'Black Clouds and Silver Linings' was the last DT album I was invested in, and for some reason just never actually tried or wanted to listen to another one after that.
