Those on the most recent Opeth release are - obviously, I think - the most demanding solos they've ever had. Take Hessian Peel for instance.

^It brought Ulver to my mind, yet i have to agree that it's has a certain Bowie-ish quality to it.

I truly believe Kevin Moore did well when he left Dream Theater. Whereas DT have since done bombastic and uninteresting showcase music, he's been able to create something much more interesting
