Ok I'm calling time on this as it looks like no more votes are coming in, so Enslaved claim a big scalp in Meshuggah 5-4. Next up comes one of the biggest progressive metal albums of the 00's, if you hadn't heard it yet, you've probably been hidden away under a rock for the last decade


Enslaved Vertebrae 2008


Versus

Opeth Blackwater Park 2001

Yeah, so not boring at all.

I'm surprised we saved Gojira for last, at least I think, I haven't been paying attention.
Enslaved still owns. I dislike Opeth. Come at me.

Enslaved - 1
Opeth - 0

Around the time Blackwater Park came out I was just starting to get tired of Opeth, while for the few years previous I had thought they were amazing. I don’t know why but I just can not seem to genuinely enjoy anything of theirs anymore.
“Vertebrae” is no “Frost” or anything but it was a comfortable, natural progression for Enslaved and was a definite improvement on “Ruun”. I actually enjoyed the post-rockish elements here and I’m not usually a big fan of this type of thing.

2-0 Enslaved.

Infidel. Those are the sort of words that can lead to a man finding himself drawn and quartered...

Seriously? I mean come on. Blackwater Park is perhaps the best metal record I've ever heard. I once read that Akerfeldt "sings like an angel, growls like a demon, and plays guitar like a madman"... more true here than anywhere else

Opeth is boring as **** imo. And I listen to some pretty boring stuff. It seems like they try way too hard.

Those aren't even really criticisms, and yet they seem antithetical to each other. "Boring" but "they try too hard". What is boring, particularly? What is it that they're "trying too hard" at?
