I could be wrong, but I just feel like they tend to do a lot of jarring transitions where there doesn't seem to be any musical themes carried over between segments. I also remember watching a making-of documentary for one of the albums where it seemed Akerfeldt's songwriting approach basically consisted of taking a bunch of ideas he had amassed and finding out how to glue them together. To my ears, they've actually become better at making songs with a coherent flow to them on the last two albums.
