Are Opeth extremely popular in Sweden ...say like U2 or something

ever since Opeth signed with Roadrunner everyone seems to know who they are here in Aus. im not saying its a bad thing or anything though

Same thing in my school... except I attribute that to me suggesting to everyone listening to iPods that they get Opeth on there before I smash it

ABBA rules.

ABBA craps and calls this music.
In the 70s you could distinguish the people in squares and cool people (us, of course ) by ABBA. It doesn't work today anymore when you don't want to admit that the squares won ...

yea...in flames in 2001? or in flames in 2005? big difference as far as fan appeal.

2006 actually. I saw Opeth in Feb of this year and In Flames in April.

Inflames is #1 on Record sales in sweden while brittney spears is #1 in USA. So I'd figure inflaems is huge
