Opeth is very favourite in my country, unfortunately majority of people here listen to them just becauste they are modern and un-usual. They don´t dig the music properly :/
I agree...the whole point of art in general is for the creator to express himself and the observer to understand it as he pleases...
it's like asking differnt people(who are not MIKAEL) what is "Face of Melinda" about? and you'll get different answers.
