I agree, they can't be compared with any other band, they have such a unique sound, and their compositions are complex and flawless. Opeth is probably the Beatles/Led Zeppelin type of band in this era of rock. And they are even getting some mainstream recognition now, even though their music has death metal vocals. If you want to try a clean song try 'A Fair Judgement'. What an amazing song. One of the best riffs of all time (Opeth has so many) as well as one of the best mellow solos ever. Another great one has to be 'The Drapery Falls'. Mellow with some heavier moments and a catchy moments, with a small heavy part, but few heavy vocals. My only complaint about the show: They won't do any pre-BwP stuff. Demon of the Fall is the ultimate closer and one is so violent, it unleashes the dark side of me
