For the fans (in Dutch): /metaalfanaten on Reddit is having a rather interesting discussion if you could some sort of proof that - if you look at their 30+ year career - Opeth is the best metal band around. We did some basic number crunching, and if you look at reviews (both from critics as listeners), they're atleast in a pretty special place. Even the people on Metal Archives are positive!
Steven Wilson is great to see live because the crowd consists of two distinct kinds of attendee:
1) Middle-age prog rock dudes and their wives
2) Dudes whose life was changed by “Blackwater Park”
Honestly this Opeth album isn’t just great because GROWLS BACK but this sounds like a creatively rejuvenated band.
Yeah that's exactly it.
