What´s the most overated Opeth song?

[L0bster]

Black Rose Immortal and To bid You Farewell probably. Great songs, but they have been givin way to much attention on this boards.

In the guitar.com video, he refers to the section after that really scary breakdown (the one that repeats, and then really high guitars come in over the top of it for another two times, and then the vocals come in over a really lameo riff that repeats like 9742 times) as the "russian riff." I dunno how to explain it really unless you know music theory, in which case it's the riff that has 3 bars of 5/8 and one of 6/8.

Edit: Duh, it starts at 6:10

Music theory isn't really about "time signatures."

"Lameo" riff? Is this riff "lameo" because it's easy to play? Because, aside from the fingerpicking stuff, how many hard riffs do Opeth play? Not very many...(which is what makes them so badass: Normal tuned guitars with usually less than moderate difficult riffs + badass songwriting + badass singer = Opeth)

Yeah, the acoustic stuff isn't all that hard either... only takes a while to learn, is all. And I believe Mikael reffers to the riff as the 'Cossack riff... because it has a Russian-dance feel to it'.
