You really think so? I heard one of their songs (the split with Faustcoven) and I thought it was decent, but nothing special.

I know a guy who really likes Bjork and has terrible taste in metal. He likes Moonspell.

oh noes itz a opinionn
Wow, they sound like shit. Bjork is an interesting character though. I think a handfull of Prog Metal dudes like her if I'm not mistaken.
Their really early stuff (before the first full-length) is mostly raw, kinda folkish black metal, maybe a little doomy at times also. The Under the Moonspell EP is quite good actually, if not exactly breathtaking. They started heading in a mellower, goth-oriented direction after that with more sampling, keys and clean vocals. Wolfheart and Irreligious are pretty good, which I guess is high praise for someone not usually into that style. But most of the albums after that do little for me, though some of the most recent ones I haven't heard at all.
I did, however check out a little bit of Memorial, which came out last year I believe, and they seemed to have some of their edge back. I mean it's still very goth metal sounding, only of much better qualify than some of the crap they writing in the late 90s. Not really a mandatory band IMO and a bit unpredictable and inconsistent, but they've definitely got some cool ideas sprinkled throughout their discography

I prefer Moonspell's later stuff. Finisterra off Memorial for example is fucking intense. Their later stuff seems to have more of a death metal influence rather than the black metal influence on their earlier albums.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF85-dIllPU]Moonspell - Finisterra[/ame]
