Just FYI Lisna, I think (though I don't know, but I did ask) that the gods referred to aren't made up (unless you accept all gods are man-made) but are those of the Sumerian/Babylonian pantheon, such as Ishtar and Ba'al and so on. I only say this because two of the tracks contain the word "Sumer", which I take to refer to the Sumerians.
Anyway, I sympathise to an extent. Had I not "toughened" myself up against death/doom metal with three years of Metal Month and more, I might have had the same reaction to the vocalist, but as it is I can hear the power and beauty in his voice. But as you say, it's all one person's opinion, and this would be a pretty boring club if we all felt the same about every album. That's what it's about: different - often wildly different - reactions to the same albums.
Don't forget to drop an album in for consideration when you have a mo.
That said, Batty, though the last to join, is the only other one to suggest an album and so he's next up.
