Just Pete getting in on the writing and Steve Wilson going away, I still like Porcupine Tree though.
Which changes would you make in Opeth's sound for your personal taste?

i don't think that they have to change their sound at all, however, it would be nice to have the bass stand out like in the morningrise recordings.

more vocal melodies
mike has a good voice
it would be cool if he wrote some heavy songs that felt a bit more half and half with as far as the vocal styles go, kind of like the drapery falls.

Though I love all the albums a lot these are what I would work on/change.
1) More dirty and heavy MAYH guitar sound
2) More prevalent and fluid bass lines like those found in Orchid and Morningrise... they provide a good balance to the dirty MAYH guitar style than Mike's bass he did on MAYH (Though i like it a lot)
3) Less Deliverance heavy vox style and more MAYH heavy vox style (transition from the high pitched heavy and the low growl heavy sound)
4) Less overly clean vox style --more aggression/hunger/necessity of emotion in the clean sections.
--- something about all these things causes a darker and brooding atmosphere which I enjoy.

Agreed...yourdeadgroom said:Two words: DOOM METAL
My thoughts are more mechanical however...
Åkerfeldt and Lindgren writing together again..
More input from the rest of the band on what goes in the record..
More doomy sounds here and there...
More growling on the heavier songs...
A bit more gore in the lyrics would be a lovely touch...
Experimentation with different tunings...
and...i believe thats it...

Remember
1) Wilson's time with Opeth has come and gone in my opinion and many others. There was a phase when I liked Porcupine Tree, now i don't find them spectacular, but that has nothing to do with my distaste for Wilson's additions to Opeth. Wilson's production has made Opeth's sound too smooth and polished, they need to lose a bit of that.
2) Spend far more time preparing your songs. Granted, you're so talented you can get away with putting out better albums than most bands by simply writing it all quickly in the studio, but come on... you can do so much more.
Hopefully, the break they take after all their touring this year/early next year will give them time to regain some of their ambition and stop being so lazy about the band. The next album supposedly being a concept album may be just the ticket to give them the incentive to focus hard enough and make the mindblowing masterpiece we know they're capable of.
EDIT: Maharet, that ass picture was funny, but it's more than a little unsettling when used as a signature. The other members of my family might find it a little odd, and would probably not appreciate it one bit. Maybe you can find something a bit more tasteful? Eh? Eh?

THEY RAWK.
At first I hated the deathmetal vox but now I'm addicted to it. They're just the perfect band.

I would love to hear an ALL death/doom/wutever album from them. I love all of the mellow stuff, but I need an album that I can just go fuckin crazy to from start to end. And don't tell me "well then you should listen to Bloodbath" because they are NOT the same
