I new there'd be a thread about them somewhere...
Yeah definitely one of the best metal bands around today. I'd place them on a par with In Flames and Avenged Sevenfold, and their far better than Children Of Bodom (who they're commonly compared to). Orchid, Morningrise and Blackwater Park are thrilling, almost spiritual records, and I love the way they drift between extremely heavy and light and spacey. In The Mist She Was Standing and Face Of Melinda are my fave Opeth songs, but pretty much everything they've done is awesome.
