Am I the only one surprised that Wolves in the Throne Room is getting so many votes over Deathspell Omega? I haven't tallied it or anything but while just browsing the thread, WitTR seem to be getting more than I expected.

Not completely. The praise DSO gets, though high, tends to come from the same few people. Wolves is clearly more accessible. <--- probably the first time Wiolves in the Throne Room has ever been described as "accessible".

Zod
 
I'd agree with that to a degree, especially since there are obvious bouts of melody scattered throughout 12 Diadems....but I think the vocals on Wolves are much more difficult to take than those on DsO
 
I've never been a huge fan of DsO's "SMRC." I actually prefer "Kenose." But yeah, I'd rather listen to Wolves "Do12S" over "SMRC."
