- New Suffocation will be average
- New Carcass will suck

Post yours.
 
It won't matter who the new Bloodbath vocalist is, he will sound bad ass.

The new Subterranean Masquerade will be in my top five.
 
Opeth is not mediocre, just bad. I've only heard one case of them writing a coherent track (Leper Affinity). And even then, barely.

It depends on what you expect. If you're expecting death metal, you're not going to get that from Opeth, but if you like progressive metal/rock, you'll get that from Opeth, and you might like it (if you're into that stuff). I like progressive rock/metal bands, so I think Opeth is decent. I liked their last album, and I think the next album they will eventually make, will be okay.
 
You think bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Nevermore, and Ayreon are bad?

...or Porcupine Tree, Meshuggah, Voivod and Enslaved?

Predictions: New Opeth will be more proggy than anything pre-Heritage, and better than Heritage.

Next ACDC album will sound just like the last 10.

New Steven Wilson solo album will be very good.
 
I like prog rock. Prog metal though is for the most part, universally bad.

I think this is because of the way we use the prog tag today...most metal bands get the prog tag for being meandering, disjointed, poor imitations of good '70s prog rock bands even if bands like Burzum or Demilich were really more progressive in spirit.
