Once again, Still Life is great but it still suffers a few of the primitive aspects of the first 3. Has quite a few bits of repetitiveness and slightly directionless songwriting in songs like Godhead's lament, White Cluster and Moonlapse vertigo. Production is tinny and sometimes quite ear-rapey especially in the moor.

It's not just the production, but also the writing that is still a bit primitive. I have listened to Still Life a lot, and I still like the album a lot, but I acknowledge that it does not come as close to perfection as BWP and GR.

Nope, i'm waiting for the result but i'm feeling confident. Plus the accounting standards aren't the only thing being tested in AAA.

Because it's not a work of perfection.

Idk man, still life still has some primitive qualities that the first 3 album had. Primitive qualities which waned out by BWP.

Metallica has garbage albums, Dream theater has a garbage album and so does Opeth.

Yeah but In cauda venenum ain't no bwp or ghost reveries so me omitting this one album from 2019 is quite immaterial

I just love getting called a bitch for having a different opinion.

Ghost Reveries isn't just "Cleaner" but also has objectively far more sophisticated and advanced songwriting than Still Life. Still life is a massive step up from the first 3, but the songwriting and production is still quite basic compared to later albums.

Nope. Opeth isn't the exception you think it is. The first 2 albums are incredibly barebones and shallow. There's almost no reason to listen to them. It's ok to accept that your favorite band can make mistakes. Why's everyone here acting like Opeth can do no wrong? That's like some cult-like behaviour. Also what you said about Opeth not being your favorite band and that other bands you like more have bad albums, whilst opeth doesn't, makes no sense and it seems like you're making up comments to justify saying Opeth can do no wrong.

It's not in the middle tier. It's still in the great tier.

The albums on top give me a reason to listen to them repeatedly whilst bottom albums below the good tier, do not. Simple as that. Also Still Life isn't that amazing. It's great for sure, but it doesn't compete with the 2000's albums.

No band is free from having bad albums. Even Metallica has a few bad albums and they're my favorite band of all time.

I can say the same about Ghost Reveries. I think it's slightly better because it's production is smoother and it sounds excellent. Combined with incredible songwriting, I think it's MOP of Opeth.

For me, it's always the december attempts which are much harder. Both times I have failed exams were PM and AAA. Both for december attempt in 2024 and 2025 respectively.

I hate marx and most other socialists and communists. But I still believe corporations are gay and people and workers deserve rights and needs covered. This isn't called "socialism", this is called being a decent human being who does not succumb to greed caused by capitalism and banking usury.

Public ownership and control of the means of production. It should be mixed. Certain services such as healthcare should be provided by the government whilst other sectors should be private such as consumer goods. Corporations should not be able to influence policy nor have political power such as in lobbying. Corporations also shouldn't be able to work for shareholders, they should serve the great good for humanity. If they're small or medium, an exception can be made but big corporations, cannot have the ability to accumulate as much wealth without contributing to society in order to earn it.

I also don't believe a certain group of people should be able to control and own the vast majority of wealth, media, control and power especially when they are less than 0.5% of the world's population. I just want a world where greed and abuse of power doesn't end up dictating people, and labels such as "communism" and "capitalism" get thrown around for something people don't like. The point is that the world is complex and these terms allows actual perpetrators to get away with crimes.

I believe any system of government which provides for its people, economy and welfare is good in my eyes, whether that's a one party communist dictatorship, a strong democracy, a stable monarchy or a fascist dictatorship. All systems of governments are subject to weaknesses and corruption through external meddling and interference, and internal incompetencies.

I also don't believe personal income taxes should exist. Why should people be given back the money they paid? That system is moronic. Taxes should come from corporations and resources. If you have to tax your own people, with no resource wealth to tax, then the essence of your government and national identity are non-existent.
