Opeth Tour

[ibd77]

Would of jumped all over this a couple of years ago but their last two albums have been awful.

Thats a shame.
Pale Communion is a pretty solid prog album.
It is lacking growls but nonetheless its still a fine album.

See that's the problem. Its a solid prog album but that is it. They used to be unique and better than everything else. Now they just produce solid and unoriginal music that is the same as everything else.

I disagree with the comment their newest records sounds like everything else. How many bands do you know of that now sound like Blackwater Park? Mikael has started to write music that sounds a lot closer to those 70's progressive bands that influenced him. I'd say there and less bands with the sound of a 70's Prog band today than there are Opeth rip offs.

Yeah but there's all the seventy prog bands that sound like seventy prog bands. opeth now just sounds like them. It's not new and the quality is nothing special. black water park was new and original at the time although I'm more partial to some of their other earlier work.

Great show at the Gov last night. Small venue for a band of Opeth's stature, so it was packed and very loud.

Grand Conjuration was the highlight. Opeth never disappoint live.
