by the way, the guitarist for Opeth recently left the band.
Yes, it occured to me that some people like the growling. Opeth wouldn't be selling many albums otherwise. That's why I qualified my statement with "to my ears".

I heard that the guitarist left the band. I also read that he's been replaced. While I'm not familiar with the replacement, the folks over at Progressive Ears do appear to be familiar with him and seem to be happy with the choice. I guess I'll have to wait for their next album to decide for myself.
