I don't like to consider myself new cuz when I got into Opeth I got into them BAD. I got every CD within a month maybe and listened to each hundreds of times. I'm learning a lot of their songs on guitar (they got me into it) and I try to catch them every single time they play here.
But since I got into them only last year, fine, I'm a "new" fan. =P
My favorite is MAYH. Because unlike every other Opeth album, there isn't that one song which for some reason don't quite live up to the rest. Plus their best songs are on that CD anywhoo (April Etheral, When, Demon of the Fall, Epilogue).
So is anyone else surprised at these results? A year ago when I was still coming here regurarly and these polls woudl pop up at least once a week, BWP would win by a longshot (and usually the hardcore fans would make fun of those who voted for BWP claiming it's not hardcore enough). I'm really surprised that STill Life is winning (not that it's a bad thing).
