You're kidding right? Opeth may not be the greatest band of all time or anything, but they're certainly lightyears above Slipknot both instrumentally and in terms of compositional consistency. Hell,
Watershed alone is far better than
everything Slipknot has put out since their 1999 debut, and that's not even considered their best effort by a large majority of Opeth's fanbase, including casual listeners.
Also, I really can't stand pissant nu-metal groups who try to play off masked intrigue like The Residents started doing back in the late 60's, but lack the ability to make the image they've cultivated interesting.
