Hey luke are you a fan of The Roots at all?  I dont even like rap, but they just have a style all of their own.

OPETH RULZ!

OK Dolby & Delphian, I\'m sorry but I might have to revise my Opeth comments slightly.  I just bought Still Life, and while I love the melodies, lyrics, and recording quality, I have a small problem with the vocals.  It seems that Mikael Akerfeldt sings in at least two different styles.  One is the normal human voice I heard on "Benighted" and "Face of Melinda."  The other is that kind of scratchy raw "devil" voice that I\'ve heard in many other death metal bands and such.  I don\'t think I can get used to it.  Even when I\'m loving the guitar leads, that voice comes in and just seems to ruin the song for me.

In spite of that, I still think the CD was well worth it.  My question is:  Did Opeth record other songs using the normal human voice?  That man has such an awesome voice when singing in a traditional manner.  They remind me of the Galactic Cowboys from the prime of their career, and believe me that is HIGH HIGH praise.  I would seriously buy every one of their albums if I knew they weren\'t all recorded with the devil voice.  These guys are great musicians, but I have no idea how to get over the vocals.

Thanks for the help!

I suggest Dream Theater. Awesome progressive rock band. They can friggen solo on the guitars.
9 out of 10 people agree, that out of the 10 people, 1 will always disagree with the other 9.

No one goes to hooters for the wings.

Well, awhile back I went through a really big death metal/growling vocals stage in my music listening, and when I got out of that, I actually found it hard to listen to regular clean vocals again. I eventually got through it though. Maybe you just need some more time to let the music settle in your mind? I\'ve always admired Mikael for his incredible vocal range. In fact, good growling vocals are actually really hard to do, just like good clean vocals, unless of course if you\'re a natural. Clean vocals just can\'t properly portray the angry and dark emotions in many of opeth\'s songs. But on songs like Face of Melinda, which are sad and tragic, they fit perfectly. Just my take.

Oh, and to answer your question, most Opeth songs feature the growling vocals with occasional clean vocal breaks dispersed throughout. Off the top of my head, I think there is only one other song of their\'s that has only clean vocals. Track 3 off of Blackwater Park (I forget the bloody name of it).

I recenlty downloaded Arch Enemy - Angelclaw at someones recomendation, merely to try to be more diverse. I was kinda liking it for the first minute and then the guy starts growling. It really put me off, I couldn\'t get into it. Oh well, each to their own.
