Recently, I decided to give them a listen. I listened to The Grand Conjuration and Porcelain Heart. I liked these enough to buy some of there albums, and because Deliverance and Damnation were so cheap I bought those two. I discovered they are good band, I was surprised since I don't really like any other death metal that I have heard.

Feel free to post your opinion on them good or bad.

(Just to pre-empt this, I am aware that they do non-death metal songs and Damnation is all non-death metal)

I wasn't sure what you were referring to there, I assumed it was something I was unaware of as I am so new to the band...

I love opeth's slower songs, and some of their "growly" songs are really good aswell, but some of them I really don't like.

I used to have that opinion, but I guess they have changed my opinion on the entire genre to a certain degree.

If you are referring to me, then I was saying 'Hell yeah!' to his statement that NIN rocks.

Yeah, I know. I would consider some of it DM, but then again, I'm not really one who knows a lot about DM...

I love them. Opeth and In Flames are the only metal I'm really listening to lately. Blackwater Park is an amazing album.

Both. I like their old stuff and their new album too. I don't see why people think they're so bad now.

Yeah, I like Soilwork, I just haven't been listening to them too much lately. Haven't listened to Dark Tranquility though. I can handle death metal stuff, but not if it's like Cannibal Corpse or Cryptopsy or whatever.

I only really like their Damnation album, which is one of the best albums I own. But their other albums are more on the death vox side and I just don't like that.

I find them to be incredibly boring.. The songwriting is dull to me, their "clean parts" seems to be randomly thrown in just to make the songs longer, I don't really care for the sound/production etc.

The singer is pretty good though, I liked his parts on that Ayreon album..

they're ok,but they have way too many long songs which consists of the same thing over again.
