Let's see -
- pretentious attempt to combine harshness with softness? check
- failure at attempt, creating only wishy washy confusion? check
- no power, speed, anger, etc. during the harsh parts, thus making no sense? check
- repetitive, not very melodic acoustic portions? check
- horribly long, repetitive to the point of nausea? check
- simple, structured segments spliced together (badly) hundreds of times, creating both a predictable and an original (albeit shitty) style? check
- attempt to be atmospheric? check
- failure to be atmospheric (see Burzum for how it's really done)? check
- smug, pretentious lyrics with decent imagery, but only a superficial meaning? check
I can think of a few more, I'm sure. Good day.

While they play their instruments well (thus getting a 7/10 for talent), the songwriting is horrible, so their aesthetic value is only a pitiful 2/10.

That's pretty harsh. I know all of these are your opinions, and that's all they are, but why evem post here if you find Opeth so shitty?
It's fairly obvious. He clearly thinks that Opeth's fanbase consists of morons and fanboys, so thought he'd "shock" us with his intelligent comments. Even though he made the same point over and over again.
Come now, all of my points are valid. Moreover, I am not trolling, if that is what you are thinking. I am merely trying to instigate discussion of some sort, since I know that everyone else will fellate Opeth and give them a 10/10, without any valid reasons. Iced Earth and Iron Maiden fanbois tend to be morons - you guys are just horribly politically corrent. (It's just your opinion, man!)

I dont feel Dark Tranquility has done anything to deserve 10/10s all across the board like that. 8/10s max.

Look behind you!
It's damn funny that some people hold Vomitory's talent and aestetic value over Opeths. I mean, they're quite nice, but nothing spectacular. Your 08/15 swedish Death.

The points you make, Iridium, are null and void.
Then again, you might just merely try to get a rise out of a couple people.

Which is why you had no problem refuting them, right? Oh wait.

I mentioned before, I am not trolling. Why do you people assume that every time I disagree with you, I am trying to "get a rise" out of you? When everyone holds the same opinion, there could be no conversation.
