I don't mean to sound like a bigger asshole than I really am, but some time ago I remembered Mike's words in the "Dissecting The Drapery Falls" video:
"When they run out of creativity, most groups bring in a new vocalist or add a keyboard player. But we think we can still explore the guitar, a lot more. So that's why we have those weird structures and use those weird chords"
SOOO, Opeth added a full time keyboard player in GR and used a new vocalist in WS, which means they have run out of creativity HOLY FUCK
