Actually was playing The Flower Kings in the car last night. The car is good ,I get to hear undisturbed.........Sometimes with phones and other things going on at home you can have an album on and not hear it Going for another Italian one after this beauty I have on............Love the violin and the keyboards which are going right now

  QVL are one of the best they nailed it. I like this one a little better because the sound was really their own on this one.  Steely Dan luv em 5 for them and QVL while the clappies are up

Glad you like it! It's not one of my favorite Opeth albums, but it's really outstanding.

All others are "amateurs".

Nope. Mikael Akerfeldt is the world's best growler

Maybe I am in a minority here, but I find the clear vocals "weak" (PT or Riverside-like, lacking personnality) and the growls horrid. The "atmospheric" passages bore me to death. Of course that's my opinion.

can't argue with tastes.. however I will say that Ackerfeldt's vocals are one of the strongest draws for me.  The growling is cute.. sure it is meant to be badass, it is metal you know, but I like it... but what drew me in where the 'clean' vocals. I like his voice.. and LOVE how the two constrast each other.  Like my beloved Italian music..  don't understand it.. and not trying to.. but the voice is as much as an instrument as anything with strings.

If you like Opeth, you NEED to check out Crimson by Edge of Sanity. It's progressive metal firmly based in Swedish melodic death metal (similar to Opeth), but it's a 40-minute epic concept song!

checking our collection to see if we have it...  if so...  it goes on next.  Thanks for the tip!

yes.. we honestly have more CD's than we've listened to.. or know if we have.

No problem! I really wish I was in a situation where I had CD's that I didn't even know I had! I'm REALLY tight on cash lately. I can't mow my neighbor's lawns during the winter, so I don't have a whole lot of spare change

But without clear vocals this time. Also, I don't if you would agree with me, but the last suffocation sounds a bit "proggy", mainly thanks to Mike Smith's incredible drumming.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZnnJtTRjw0&feature=related

Mike Smith is indeed a great drummer. I don't have their latest album, but their other stuff never really impressed me too much.
