Do Akerfeldt and Swano not get along?

There's just the fact that Swanö appears to have black eyes after meeting with Akerfeldt: Swanö claims the blackness is caused by insomnia.
:lol:

personally i don't care, i think they're both excellent musicians and excellent dudes.

Swano went to Mikes wedding so...I'd say their friends :)
Do you know how contradictory that statement is? That's like saying Mikael is Christian because he had a wedding in the first place. Swanö's just an old business associate so naturally he would be invited.. :)

There's also the fact that Dan and Mike's musical interests are just very different. Dan has stated numerous times that he thinks the first two Opeth albums are still the best ones and that he didn't like the albums that came after that as much because they lack memorable hooks and catchy songwriting. I don't think Dan is really into the whole disharmonic stuff and elaborate compositions that Mikael seems to love so much. Overall I just get the impression that Dan likes poppy stuff with catchy and memorable hooks whereas Mikael is more into weird/disharmonic stuff.

They're just different kinds of musicians and I don't really see how just the fact that they haven't worked together in a while would mean that they otherwise don't get along.

How are Orchid and Morningrise poppy and more catchy? They're definetly less of both. Its on MAYH that they first start repeating certain sections within songs, whereas before they never came back to a section and just kept on progressing. I'd agree with Swano that the first two are the best.
 
Orchid and Morningrise had the catchy and melodic Iron Maiden style twin guitar melodies plastered all over them. They are way more accessible than an album like MAYH.
