It's times like those when you realize how very versatile this band can be. I mean just before I had listened to The Amen Corner, which is a very dark side of Opeth and it switched to The Twilight Is My Robe shortly after which has this.. I don't even know what to call it, acoustic intro that leads into a song whose riffs are almost ballad-like in a way, and seem completely unusual for metal... just all melody (gotta love Orchid). From that it went to The Drapery Falls (ok you may have worked it out, im going in alphabetical order here) and that also is completely different to the 2 songs that had played before it...
I think it's just so awesome how much ground they've covered over their career. I still can't classify some of the parts that I hear in the music... like the end of The Amen Corner, which seems like some form of dark/groove/acoustic or for example, For Absent Friends also and just many many other parts. I think it's this variety that keeps people coming back to Opeth.
