RE: Some of my favorite songs... fasten your seat belt.
Opeth's newer albums are actually pretty bizarre. They actually sound like they should have been performing in the early 1970s but they have better equipment and mixing. They have gone very almost psychedelic rock type feel in some of their newer albums. Like I said Progressive bands tend to be all over the place. Whether called Progressive Rock or Metal tends to depend upon where they tend to build the foundation of their songs... they started as Death Metal, transitioned to Progressive Metal, and some of their newer stuff sounds like 70s Progressive Rock. :P
I was thinking that.. even the production seemed like something Led Zep or Queen - maybe even Pink Floyd would have done.. Its not a commercial tune - but these guys could definitely sell themselves out for an "Enter Sandman" type hit..
Yeah and that wasn't even one of their pieces I'd consider the 70's style stuff.
I am no expert on their newer stuff it hasn't really grabbed me as much in the last two albums.
That's one of the new songs... even the visuals in the video would have fit in the 70s... and yeah it sounds more fusion. :P
