I know many people may disagree, but I'm posting my opinion.
-
Fans either wish to fellate them or fellate them with chainsaws. A large percentage of the fans on this website are the former. Judging from the praises they sing of their favourite band, they tend to come out either as:
-
1) Opeth are quite easily the most beautiful band on the planet. Blending progressive and death metal, they create music which touches me on a level I've never been touched before.
-
or
-
2) omgz i luv teh op3th, stfu u slipnot fagits, opeth r00lz!!!!!!!
-
Both types of reviews are stupid. The only reason people find the music of Opeth so "revolutionary" and "unique" is because it's the first time they've experienced music that mixes clean and distorted guitars, as well as growled and clean vocals. Honestly, this is NOTHING new. Anyone who knows a shit about metal would know this to be true.
-
Apparently the music has atmosphere. No...no it doesn't. The time signatures change too much for you to get lost in the music in any way. The death growling and distorted guitars are just awkward and comes in at incredibly pointless times, as the songs have no structure and just tend to meander and meander and meander and meander and then end.
-
Hey, I like Opeth, but only their acoustic album. It's not that bad. But honestly people, some of you need to get your faces from Akerfeldt's pubes and just TRY listening to something else.

A shitty band, who have gained more notoriety in the last few years because they are supposedly 'original' and 'progressive'. Their latest album, which goes beyond the terms gay and emo. Opeth fans are also very retarded. Do not say Opeth sucks in front of them.

to Gab of Terrasoft: thats not fair... sum41 are are band doing their thing just like opeth are doing their thing... fuck i luv opeth and i also luv sum41 -aswell as a shitload of other bands out ther in the metal and rock genres... so just because you dont like a certain band doesnt mean you should diss them... what about the people who luv that 'hiphop rnb' stuff and diss metal and rock?? im sure u dont like that.

Seemingly one of the best bands to ever walk this earth. Their insane guitarists and drummer and bass player make up for some of the people that do not like the hardcore death growls.
But, their album Damnation, which is arguably one of the greatest albums ever released, is an acoustic album. It kicks amazing ass.

The BEST Opeth songs are:
Demon of the fall
Death whispered a lullaby
In mist she was standing
Under the weeping moon
The moor
In my time of need
To bid you farewell

Under the weeping moon
The moor
In my time of need
To bid you farewell

FUCK IN FLAMES! In Flames suck. Opeth are, without a doubt, the most original metal bands out there, but unfortunately most of the Opeth fans who have posted thus far are really just nu-metal kids who like sum41 and In Flames. Opeth plays complex music and the average song is 10+ minutes long. They don't have stupid lyrics and don't complain like the angry teenagers playing in nu-metal bands do. Opeth play a combination of doom, death, progressive, gothic, jazz, and folk.
