From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opeth
QUOTE When news leaked that the band was signed to Roadrunner, who predominantly worked with trend-oriented rock and metal, some fans accused the band of selling out. "To be honest", Åkerfeldt said, "that's such an insult after 15 years as a band and 8 records. I can't believe we haven't earned each and every Opeth fan's credibility after all these years. I mean, our songs are 10 minutes long!" And they've been playing for 18 years now. Not pointing any fingers, but I just read that article and found the quote suiting for the thread. -------------------- [color="#808080"]Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Gothic with EMG 81 and 85, Crafter Acoustic, ESP LTD F-205

I find that last sentence to be quite weird to be honest. It doesn't matter if your song is 30 seconds or 10 minutes long, its how you attract and keep the balance of the song to the listener. For instance, Vital Remains makes very long songs, but there quite boring. I think, so what Akerfeldt if your songs are still 10 minutes long, ITS JUST BORING compared to your older songs that are more thought out. -------------------- |

They are, there older stuff at least. Icons of Evil wasn't bad, but would be better if they trimmed it down by 15 minutes haha.

I think I can see what you mean, Although I like Icons Of Evil more than Dechristianize, BUT, Dechristianize is my favorite song by them.

As did I, I saw them on Progressive Nation a few months back, It was a fantastic show, One of the best performances from every band.
