Which one is better? My vote goes for Patterns in the Ivy 2. Harvest is just a bit too dull for me. Although it has an excellent solo, one of their best, but thats not enough.
Patterns. It evokes more emotion. Harvest, while the first Opeth song I ever heard and near and dear to me, just seems to repeat itself over and over. Patterns has more of a story like beginning, middle and end and overall better lyrics.
