Metallica has steadily gone downhill ever since Cliff Burton's passing. Jason was still ok but Cliff was who made those original albums what they are. Then Nirvana came along and changed music causing Kirk Hammett to essentially give up on writing a decent solo. Ever since then their music has felt progressively more lazy. They've really turned into a prog-metal band with no progression throughout the songs. They used to have 5-6 riffs in one song. Now they have 5-6 riffs in one album.

Still hooked on this album, I think it was @riffblaster general 's post that put me onto it in fact.

Ah, that's amazing @Peter! I think Opeth may be mine as well… Deliverance was the first album I ever bought and is hands down my favourite album by them.
The first time I saw them live was at the Mayan in Los Angeles, but they were supporting their Heritage album at the time so it was an all acoustic set with no 'heavy' riffage and/or growling.
When I learned they were playing the special Deliverance / Damnation set at the SSE Wembley in London back in November, I knew i HAD to go. When they finally finished with Deliverance... I could die happy. If only they were able to perform 'Leper Affinity' it would have been a perfect concert for me... but cest la vie. I could go on about them, but I'll stop for now in case I get a bit too enthusiastic for my own good...

Awesome @PattyCakez! And it's ok, you can gush about Opeth all you want haha. My Arms Your Hearse is my favourite album by them. I even made up my own verse from all the songs on that album and inked it to my ribs..

@Peter Haha that's a great tag to have.. If only we could get the dog tag machine back up and running….
I recently purchased Still Life and it's amazing. The Moore is such an intense track, it's gotta be one of my favourites now. Just because you went to the extent of tattooing your own created verses on your ribs based on My Arms Your Hearse, I had to buy the album. It shall be delivered to me today and I will give you my thoughts on it soon.

That makes me happy, @PattyCakez. Do tell what you think! I'm not really sure why I love it as much as I do. Guess it's just Opeth things, the feeling where there's always a certain passage, note, riff or something to specifically long for in each and every song. Except on Heritage, which honestly wasn't even a good album haha.
Damnit! Now I need to listen to their entire discography..
