...Opeth + Experiment = Bad
what does 'experiment' mean? Drum machines and guest rappers?? Yup. My prediction is coming true. There will be even LESS guitarwork on this one.

You sound like an old man, set in your ways.
True, drum machines and guest rappers would be a bad thing (ahem, Follow The Leader). But all experimentation isn't bad. Opeth is wonderful just the way they are, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be just as wonderful if they did something different.

Back in my day... We HAD no opeth...!
Was Metallica's 'Load' a good thing? What about Megadeth's 'Risk'? Or maybe In Flames' 'Clayman'?
I guess I am just an old man at heart.
(BTW, i'm just playin'. Examples of good experimentation and progression: Death, Atheist...........!!)

Just to play this from a different angle...has anyone ever heard an artist talk about their upcoming work by saying something like:
"Well, I know our fans were really pumped after our last album, so we decided to make this one really suck. Just a half assed effort that we mailed in. I am real excited to have this over with because, quite frankly, I have been seing these girls and , well, they like to have sex all the time and I have found that writing and recording really gets in the way. I need more free time to explore new drugs as well. And another thing. I kind of really don't like our fans. I mean, I have met a few, and we get letters and emails, and II just realised after the last tour that our fans are idiots, so I figured why bother going to all the trouble on this album"
Just something that hit me as I read this thread. I am sure the new albums will be excellent.

cheating the polygraph
I expect the double Opeth to be more prog, more psychedelic, more piano, more weird, more heavy, more brutal, more challenging, more sophisticated, more intelligent, more creative, more stimulating, more emotional, more adventurous, more relaxing, more beautiful, more versatile, more artistic, more complex, etc than their entire catalog...is this asking too much?

There, I hope the "heavy" one won't be the "safe" one (to keep the fen happy ?). There's vast room for experimentation with heavier music too.
But, "freaked out" and "psychadelic" is exciting, I was hoping they would choose this direction!
The wait is gonna be torturous.

Papa Opeth
I have all 5 Opeth albums. I love all 5 Opeth albums. I have no doubt about Opeth album #6.
So what's all this talk about?

You mean #6 AND #7.
They're going to be taking up a fairly formiddable chunk of my CD rack after that.

Uh-o's This could be a problem couldn't it.
I will be the first to claim this, since I said it first, this whole forum will consider the mellow album the sixth, and the heavy album will be considered seventh.
My reasoning being I am the smartest.

Hey! 6 is my favourite Number!
From my point of view Mikael's sort of doing this one for the fans. He seems very ambitious though. Lets hope this all turns out for the best

I thought more along the lines of #6 being the regular one and #7 the mellow experimental one.
The battle is on.
