The term "Cookie Monster vocals" is bandied about, too.

Aw, man, I don't wanna create an account.
Just tell me what it says.

i create a new fake account every time i go to that site--they don't check email addresses or anything.

it's a pretty positive review, clearly aimed at people who don't listen to metal...it cautions first-time metal listeners, compares opeth to metallica, etc...

oh, ok. I do that account thing with Juno at my gf's house; with their free access, they sometimes kick you off and deactivate your account if they think you've been on too long and are inactive, so I just make a new one. Probably about 19 different ones so far.

Maybe I'll read this later.
It's interesting, at least, to see them getting into big media outlets like that.
