As a concept album, how do you think Crimson compares to Opeth's two amazing concept albums in terms of overall flow and cohesion of parts? How do you think they compare musically? What concept/story is more interesting to you?
I find Still Life's story to be the most interesting, though I enjoy Crimson a lot more lately. As far as flow, Crimson is top notch, by far eclipsing Opeth's concept albums. As far as music, Crimson is much more intense and catchy, as is to be expected of EoS. It still maintains an unprecedented degree of complexity and variety, which is what I find so amazing about it. The heavy/mellow transitions are more abrupt than in Opeth, generally speaking, but I find this keeps the pace up and makes the album more interesting to listen to.
