Though I must admit, I respect both artists for developing and evolving their sound instead of sticking with the same recipe album in and album out.

But this isn't the first time they've done an album with 100% clean vocals, I mean just listen to
Damnation (2003), it's got clean vocals and like... no distortion at all, it's a progressive rock album. In fact Opeth have slowly been leaning towards this sound for the last 8 years, I mean the last really heavy album by them was
Deliverance (2002),
Ghost Reveries (2006) and
Watershed (2008) had their heavy moments but nothing compared to their material from 1995-2002.
