Aha! Slipknot! I like snuff.
The rest is shit.
Snuff is artistic. It pulls anyone in and sets off fire.
BUT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD!

Think about it though. Snuff was prob their biggest hit. Clear lyrics and slow acoustic start.... Its art..

The rest few could resonate with.

He’s got an incredible voice. I like him because when he growls, you still can make out the words. That’s my primary gripe with a lot of death & black metal bands, can’t do that.

This was part of what drew me into Opeth when I was a teenager. Not only were they musically stellar, but Mikael’s growls were just as comprehensible as his clear (and fucking fantastic) singing.

Aaaaand then they went and turned into hippie Jethro Tull ripoff garbage right around 2011, and I’m still in mourning and keep hoping for a return to form. But nope, just a solid decade of disappointment now.
It’s not that I’m “anti-prog” either. I have an absurd boner for Coheee and Cambria, Thank You Scientist, The Mars Volta, etc. but Opeth’s attempts at prog are just low rate, boring garbage.

I’ll give a listen. Currently having nasty 70’s flashbacks because of your mention of Jethro Tull. F you and good night, lol.

I’d recommend starting at either Ghost Reveries or Watershed albums and working backward. Still Life is still one of the best concept albums ever, and in my opinion, the band’s high water mark, but I always feels it best practice to avoid starting with the best a band has to offer.
By the time you hit My Arms, Your Hearse, you’re already well equipped to handle what Morningrise throws at you. It was only their second album, five tracks long, with a lyric sheet that could fit on two pages, and still clocks in at well over an hour.
