My breakthrough Opeth moment: listening to Watershed. Lotus Eater, I believe. And the freaking jazz section in that.... just blew me away that these guys were going from super heavy grinding shit to that light jazz feel.

I'm still not a huge Opeth head (as evidenced by my inability to recall the exact song I'm trying to remember), but I definitely appreciate them. I'd love to just have 50 great metal albums in the vein of Opeth sitting around to indoctrinate me to the greatness of the genre. I know it's good stuff... but I just can't get past certain aspects of it. When I hear a band like Opeth or BTBAM... the inherent quality of the music overwhelms any problems I have with other aspects of the genre.

You could d/l from a list of albums I'd give you. Think of it as research instead of stealing; a metal evaluation period.

Hey. I'm there. I can tell you where my tastes run, and why I like Opeth.

I can't stand the unrelenting shit that just stays hard hard hard. I like the stuff that has variety. Goes from beautiful and melodic and uplifting to nasty and evil. I like the contrasts. I also like stuff that spans and samples from different genres. And I don't mean just... influenced by this genre (because all metal is influenced by jazz). I mean... sounds like a certain genre. Seems to actually sample it at times.

I'm going to work on a list of awesome stuff that blends sounds and styles. I'll post it here later tonight.

They're definitely on my list. Which album would you recommend to get me started?
