An introduction to Opeth

[splag]

I'm going to try to introduce you to a band called Opeth. Opeth plays progressive metal*, which sounds scary and inaccessible, and is, a little bit, especially because they use growled or grunted vocals in many of their songs. I'll give you that: when you first hear growls, you might find them disturbing -- or funny. They're not something most

What album would you recommend checking out first?

I've listened to Blackwater Park but none of the others.

This is a toughy. I think Ghost Reveries might be a good starting point. But they're all pretty solid. Damnation is an album of quieter/acoustic songs if you like that side of them.
