I like all the Opeth albums and I don't see them being worse than before, only different, but this comes to a matter of opinion. Many people seem to prefer the thing they had going with Still Life to the latest albums. Some even think that the first 2 are the best. And then there are people who think that Watershed is their best album. I'm none of these people, I haven't really bothered to go comparing the albums to each other like that, cause I only see them as being different.
That's about it.
