When I saw them recently I thought the balance between all of their elements was perfect. I think their current style with a touch of death metal (including vocals) would be the sweet spot for me.
Totally This.
I am Just getting into Opeth. It clicked for me about 6 weeks ago when watching Garden of the Titans. What a great mix of growl/no growl. I am not much into growling, but their sound is awesome. And MA's voice is enchanting....Frankly so is he...
I am just getting acquainted and starting with probably more NewPeth, but I have to say. Ghost Reveries is Really growing on me.
I voted for Sorceress, because right now I really dig several songs on it. It could very well change once more time has passed.
I do get bored with some of the slow stuff, I need energy in my music. But, all in all, I have listened to them pretty much exclusively since the switch went off.
