Not another watershed thread, or maybe yes?

^Well, actually it was not just a mere disagreement.

I, for myself, can definitely see the picture like: After Mikael makes album, no matter how much effort he puts into it, he wont be able to catch the peak of inspiration all the time and as a result would not produce the best album all the time. I do not mean that he wont make any better album than the rest of discography but their newest album wont always be the best for sure (for anyone's opinion, including himself). On the other hand you will always hear Mikael say that his new album is the best. Even if he does not feel that way he will say that, either he would even fool himself (like he making himself like Peter's stuff that he has written where deep down inside he didn't like it) or to sell his album more when he doesn't believe what he says.

p.s. I do think that Opeth is heavenly, Mikael is amazing and all that stuff and they are clearly my number 1 band. This post is not about bashing Opeth, but just to point out the drama.
