Yeah Mikael (and any musician for that matter) can do whatever the fuck he wants with his own band.

I have no idea what cynic is trying to say 🤔

Band's can play whatever they want. They don't exist for your personal pleasure, k7. The issue with Opeth is that both the band and its fans are equally frustrated with the situation. We were just spitballing other approaches.

there is also a difference sometimes between music I think is bad and music I dislike

so should they brake or should they break?

Bands what play bad music and are sell out cell out don't know correct typing should brake out

I don't understand the urge to get extreme reception for Opeth. Opeth, in its capacity, gets a good fair reception no matter how one spins it. The urge to blow the trumpet is never understood.
