Have you tried Heritage, Pale Communion or Soceress (my favorite of the three)? I listen to different Opeth albums depending on my mood. I would rarely listen to Blackwater Park and Soceress on the same day, and I do enjoy both or them.
yes, I do dip a bit into P.tree every now and then …
but - just like so many prog bands (opeth also!) - they cant resist the urge to have at least 4 key changes and 3 different time signatures in every bloody track (it gets old fast!) …
which makes it sound like every song consists of 3 sub-songs … hey, the fact that Macca could pull this off (Day in your life, Band on the run,… ) doesnt mean you can …
so I guess: I do like me some prog. as long as it isnt so formulaic prog - hence my original like of Damnation…
