I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Opeth isn't diverse or original. It's watered down riffs from Dark Tranquility played in the style of Amorphis or My Dying Bride, except meandered endlessly, aimlessly, and monotonously with pointless acoustic guitars thrown in.
Plenty of thrash songs, on the other hand, will throw in 30 riffs in a 5 minute song along with plenty of tempo changes, which accomplishes more than
Opeth does in an entire album. Hell,
Burning of Sodom does it in a mere 3 minutes. Power metal has plenty of great leads don't slack off in the riff department either, and even flower bands like Rhapsody certainly demonstrate far more diversity than
Opeth.
Opeth is probably my least favorite metal band that I can think of, they're just trendy, vastly overrated bullshit that dares call itself metal. Most others, even Ancient, have something redeeming about it.
