I really, really, really like Riverside, but Opeth made Still Life.

Love both, but I went for Riverside. Maybe its because I just got in to them this year (got ADHD last year and all of the rest this year). Or maybe I just want to be part of an "upset".

It is. And it came as a shock to me as well. Do the math if you don't believe me.
Riverside: 521,00 avg
Opeth: 472,40 avg |
That must be the effect of the 1star-boohoo-I-don't-like-growls reviews.
Opeth for me, though Riverside is the better live band in my experience.

The 1-star boohoo ratings should boost Opeth's chances of getting the advantage... that's a very odd stat.

I was this close to vote for Riverside just to increase the chance of getting a hot dog, but Opeth it is. Can't really stand neither of them, but I can't stand Opeth less.

Riverside, Opeth to me are just a wee bit less consistently awesome.

I think most of us agree that Riverside and Opeth are GREAT bands- both have quality stuff- but Opeth had MUCH MORE quality music.
