The real key to an Opeth song is to have at least 5 different utterly brilliant riffs, worthy of their own song each, within a 5 minute window.

Death - play a bunch of awesome riffs that surprise the listener all the way up to a blistering solo, then boringly repeat everything that came before in the exact same manner. Repeat this formula for 99% of the catalog. Death are in my top 5 favorite bands but I really wish they didn't follow that formula. I usually end up skipping to the next song once the solo's over
