i had laid down my opeth cd for a month or so in favor of winds, arcturus, and pain of salvation. i recently put it on and once again opeth amazed me, and proved why they are the reigning kings of my cd collection. with the mix of dirty and clean vox, the aweosme beats, and the killer riffs, i felt like it was my first time again. it was amazing...if anyone here actually talks to the guys in opeth...tell them caleb said thanx for the best cd ever.
