I like Opeth. They are a band that broadened my musical listening appreciation, and I haven't seen them do anything that will make me change my mind about them, but I am not a 'freak' about them.
I might sell one kidney for their upcoming album, but not both kidneys
I can't stop broadening my musical horizons, and anyway, I go through stages where I like only a certain type of music (but that is occuring less and less)
This board is for Opeth worshippers only. Alright, because everyone here has proven to have great taste in music (despite some occasional lapses, see the Staind thread), the casual listeners can stay...
I love Opeth a LOT! But I'm not exactly at the point of obsession. I mean, I want to own every album and get some merhandise and stuff, but I still don't sleep and breathe Opeth like a fanatic would. ...I guess I'm making no sense at all.
I have played Orchid about 20-30 times through now and I can say that I really enjoy their music. I'm planning to get their 2nd album soon (I like to get through discographies chronologically).
But to the original question I have to say that I'm not a type of guy who falls in love with first sight.
