I am very much awaiting Opeths next offering. As for the vocals...trust me.. you will appreciate everything mikael has to offer over time. He is come to be one of my favorite vocalists and that is from starting out as having never really been into cookie monster growling..as I called it ... To see him do both clean and ruff vocals live is impressive..and as someone above stated.. it becomes so much a part of the music and is vital to what opeth are all about... very expressive and fitting. anyhow.. opeth are one of the best bands of the genre 'musically' and much more 'musicians' than many, many, many of the mainstream bands in most geners .. especially pop,nu-metal.. popular rock catagories... IMHO.
oh.. and as for disc to start out with.. I would have to say BlackWater Park. I believe it to be the most accessable... besides Damnation.. which in my opinion is not the type of opeth sound to start out with .. and even I listen to it only occasionally.
And I would have to say that the hands down best Opeth disc IMO.. would be My Arms Your Hearse... and it took awhile for that to be the case... the list would look like this...
MAYH
Still Life
BWP
Deliverance
Morningrise
Orchid... allthough when I am in the mood I really enjoy it.
and Damnation floats in limbo for me... I enjoy it when I do listen to it.. but there is never a NEED to listen to it as with the first four on that list.
Anyhow.. that is my .02
