I've been a massive Opeth fan for the past year, though I'd heard of them a few years before that, yet never got into them because the only album we had at FYE was Damnation (which I didn't appreciate at the time, sadly). One of the admins on the Thrice forums sent me Moonlapse Vertigo, and I thought it was pretty sweet - he then sent me the whole Deliverance album, which I could not stop playing for weeks. It's now 1 year later and I have/own every album, a few shirts, and have seen them twice in concert. They rapidly climbed to the top of my list of "favorite bands", and are probably the greatest single thing to happen to me as far as music goes.
