Most diverse sub genre of metal?!

Next Frown is gonna tell me Deftones sound exactly like ELO.

Absolutely no resemblance here right

It's from one of their 3 newest albums. I pointed out in a previous comment that they're different albums that the rest of their discography. With Heritage and up, Opeth went on a 70's prog nostalgia rampage.

By the rest of their discography, are you talking about when they were ripping off Camel?

Haven't heard enough Camel to remember anything, but I highly suspect I wouldn't agree with you at all.

It is a naked ripoff imo.

It's clearly very much a case of how one looks at music and hears it. We seems to be on opposite sides of the planet as far as musical views and ways of listening go.

I probably find that Camel/Opeth comparison to be too reductionist to fit with my view of music. Like when Trollheart dismissed Tori Amos as a Kate Bush ripoff. You can trace a line between the two, but there's miles from there and to being a ripoff.

Listening to a Camel compilation right now. Skipping around, I found one riffy, instrumental section that had a vague Opeth resemblance, but alas, no cigar.

I think you're missing the nuance here.

If it's a question of nuance, they clearly don't sound that much the same, now do they?

Very different aesthetic and even very different tendencies in their compositions and sound choices.

This is could be a track on Mirage.
