Alas, a fellow Opeth lover! Yes, I absolutely adore this band!
But let's get one thing out in the open so that we can't be justifiably ridiculed by an Opeth-Hater.
Opeth doesn't play music, per say. They play muzak. Their idea of a song is a group of riffs! Hell, I wouldn't be suprised if these guys just jammed for 10 minutes and call what they played a song. Their 'songs' rarely follow any kind of structured pattern (Intro, Chorus, Bridge etc) and are extremely self-indulgent.
That being said, I don't care that all of that is true (and it is). I care that Opeth plays long atmospheric soundscapes that I can lose myself in for hours at a time. I fucking love Opeth. They are my drug of choice.
btw, Every album is worth checking out. Each is absolutely amazing in its own right. The dual accoustic guitars are just fantastic... I am now switching from Tiamat to opeth on winamp :o
