I only read the first post in this thread, and I just felt the need to respond, even though I am a new member here, my thoughts and feelings about this band are very strong. I don't know what any of them look like. I don't even know all of their names. Does that matter? I will know all that eventually though. The music means most to me now.
I only own four of their cd's. Morningrise, Orchid, Blackwater Park, and Deliverance. I plan to get ALL of the others as money permits me to do so. I have however listened to mp3s of things off their other albums, and each time I hear a new song, I become more enchanted with this band each and every day. Right now I am playing all four of the cd's of theirs that I own back to back. I leave them playing while I am sleeping.
There is only one other band that has captured me as Opeth has, but I will not list it here, as you all will probably want to hunt me down and kill me. Lets just say my tastes are varied.
To the original poster in this thread, perhaps you could possibly pull that head uh' yours outta yo hiney and and turn the music up loud. Perhaps you should actually purchase and Opeth cd. I cannot fathom that anyone who has taken the time to actually listen to them, could love them any less than I.
Peace,
