Idk why the best singers seem to be that way but they are. My friend is a singer and is constantly shutting on himself thinking he sucks but the guys pretty damn good. He loves Opeth I wouldn’t say he’s in Mikael’s level but he’s got the same feelings to his voice and same self depreciation.

The new Opeth albums without Lopez to me is what I'd describe as Porcupine Tree without Gavin Harrison, I still miss him but to be honest as time went by with multiple lineup changes their new style and sound kinda grew on me and I think the part of the reason is because no matter what people say, to me Mikael is the soul of Opeth and he's been consistently implementing his unique song writing skills and bringing new things to the table with each and every new album, which certain bands and artists of this era really fail to do. Also people should stop mocking about his growls because he's not the Mikael from 20 years ago people change with age and we should all be thankful that we got to enjoy such a wide catalogue of music with different styles, structures and flavours of sounds and songs from a single band which is really some next level shit.

mrknorke I think that is probably a big part of it. Metal is definitely my preferred genre. But Heritage also seems less cohesive to me than Ghost Reveries or Still Life, which are epic stories as well as musical pieces of Art. Heritage, to me, is more a jazz progressive experiment. What I seek in music is guitar metal newness. Heritage obviously fails to deliver that :(
@miffmaff110 жыл бұрын
Dan Goldsmith For me, it's kinda different. I always loved Metal, and i was very sceptical about Heritage at first. I was really disappointed and also a bit angry when i first heard it. But now, as i've listened to it numerous times, i really like it. I would even say, i love it. It's definetly a very very different style of music, and i never was into this, but now i would say Heritage as a whole is the most interresting and amazing album i've heard in the last 5 years. Maybe not my favourite Opeth album, but on it's own it's a masterpiece.

Nowadays (or for the past 15 years really), if you listen to live renditions of older Opeth songs, they're drenched in keyboards for no reason other than that the keyboardist is there and has a keyboard in front of him. Just because you can technically add keyboards to a song like Wreath and give it more 'fullness', it doesn't mean you should. See also S&M by Metallica and the mostly pointless addition of strings and horns to songs that weren't written with that stuff in mind. It reminds me of a chef grabbing every bit of seasoning he sees just because it's available. Stick to the recipe please.

I used to not be able to stand death metal vox either, but the true genius of Opeth's 'golden era' lies in the shifting contrasts of the growls to clean vocals in a song. Which is one of the reasons why the later albums don't measure up, that contrast is largely gone. You may never get used to them, but you're missing out on what makes classic-era Opeth classic.
