Bleh another boring opeth album blown out of porportion

Getting a bit ahead of yourself there buddy the first snippets of info have only just been released, the reaction so far has been mild and mixed, and yet you still feel the need to bring the negativity. Let's hear the music before we call it boring shall we

Anyway...personally I haven't disliked any Opeth album yet, but I kind of hope they don't pursue the Watershed direction - it seems a little limiting compared to the endless potential of their earlier releases. Whatever the case, I'm sure I won't be disappointed

Maybe a bit of negativity in there but mainly my opinion. Idk what it is about the band but I have not liked a single opeth album yet. Yes they make great music, yes Mikael is a great musician and yes blah blah blah. But I just can't get into them. Everything I hear in their music is stuff I've heard before. Sure the lyrics are different but I hear no innovation nothing new just same old boring death metal I've listen to Watershed like 8 times and each time takes days because I get so bored with it. Just my opinion again, I don't wish to summon team Nerdrage on me.

Concerning your first (and partly second) post: if you don't like the band, just say "I don't like them and I couldn't care less for a new release". In that way, you express your subjective opinion. By saying "another Opeth album blown out of proportion" you imply that their albums are objectively bad or over-rated by their listeners, which is not true.
In another words, if it is YOUR OPINION, than say it like it's your opinion, don't just bash the band in general because you can't get into it.

I believe it is my right to voice my opinion in however way I wish to do so. And you can't say that their albums are not over rated by any standards, you'd be hardpressed to find a metalhead, for lack of a better term, who doesn't like opeth.

Ghost Reveries was a step into a more simplistic direction, whereas Watershed took on a new musical horizon entirely.

Hmm.. I'd say Ghost Reveries is far from simplistic. Blackwater Park is simplistic, if you can even use that term to describe Opeth.

If you want to be cool and progressive, you'd better mention the word: "Marrow" in your album tracklist somewhere.

Nobody said you can't express your own opinion. The point is that you are expressing yours like it's the objective and ultimate general truth about something, instead of making a subjective distance.
And Opeth albums are not, in any way, over rated. They are just THAT GOOD. That's like saying Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are over rated because "you can't find a rock fan who doesn't like them". Not to mention that it's a very false statement to begin with - not everyone likes Opeth, simple because not everyone likes proggy or death metal sound (or power or trash metal sound or whatever). Some people love Opeth, some people don't, just like any other band out there.
For example, I don't appreciate Dream Theater much, but I wouldn't come on their page and say "another DT album blown out of proportion" because it's not a subjective statement, and it implies that DT are in general over rated band. Expressing my own opinion would be saying "Nah, I don't care, never got into that band anyways" or something like that, which again implies MY own opinion without generalization and demeaning of the band (which I don't even like, subjectively) and it's listeners who "blow them out of proportion".
