i don't really understand everyone bitching about "oh the solo doesn't fit opeth", "it's just not opeth", "it's too generic"...
okay, first of all, why the fuck are you listening to a progressive death metal band, if you want them to sound the same way on every song, goddamnit?
i appreciate change, i'm not saying "whoa, that's the best opeth solo ever recorded", but i'm not being a total shithead by criticising every little thing i hear and don't like on a fucking bootleg concert video.
second of all, i have a feeling that all of you think it's not "opethy" anymore, as soon as your definition and expectation of their music doesn't match theirs, and that's fucking bullshit.
THEY'RE the fucking band, and it's not like they performed a fucking R'N'B song, it's still crushing, progressive and as much as i hate the term, opeth-like.
god, seriously, either expect them to be experimental with new styles, influences and yes, even solos, or stop listening to the new albums they'll put out.
if you want to hear my arms, your hearse (which, by the way, is my favorite album by them) regurgitated over and over and over, then you don't want the band to continue being what probably made you love them all those years/months/weeks/days ago, which is progressive, new, fresh on every album, you want them to be the fucking red hot chili peppers.
i have no problem with anyone saying they don't like this song, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion, but stop saying they don't sound like opeth, because in reality, they just don't sound like the opeth you'd want them to be, which pretty much goes against the concept of the band, or atleast that's what i believe.
had to register again)
