[opeth_353]

Oh yeh.. Akercocke and Enslaved are other bands.. Essentially, for me, most of the bands i have mentioned.. I like their old stuff anyway..

I'd say, for me, Scott Walker has also improved.. But i loved his work with the walker brothers and his early solo stuff still! But The Drift is just, although this sort of statement seems to be chucked around a lot now, pure genius.

 

[Triton]

Defnitely agreed for Symphony X. The darker sound makes the band much more enjoyable to listen to.
