Thanks, the Rush analogy is interesting. I grew up listening to Fly By Night and 2112, so their early stuff works for me. But bands like Dream Theater just don’t (though I have tried). Beyond that one experience from many years ago, I’m simply unfamiliar with Opeth, but Heritage has really impressed me. Upgraded the bass towers on my main speakers, so music with a strong rhythm and drumming sounds really good. Will see how I do with the four, then perhaps I’ll venture into Watershed. Not sure it’s necessarily about having an open mind, I just like what I like. Back in college my roommate and I were both into Alan Parsons Project. I liked the proggier more melodic stuff, he liked the harder edged stuff … ne’er the twain shall meet.
