STILL LIFE

Opeth's Still life ,is basically Death Metal for listeners who cannot bring themselves to listen to the real thing like bands such as Nile,Entomed and Morbid Angel who play real epic style Death Metal.Still Life is OK ,but this type of music doesnt work well with soft guitars, soft vocals and soft melodies mixed with heavy Death Metal ,really it sounds a little boring and dull,its trys to please everyone.The recording is nothing spectacular either its at times too limited ,and a bit rudimentary but its not awful either,the drums sounds very earthbound flat.So basically Opeth's Still Life is overatted and offers nothing of real interest and is neither here or there,its a little bit boring.
