I listen to music for various reasons, I don't think that all albums need to have this and that in order to appeal to my tastes, depending on the genre I'll listen to it for different reasons. Here's something that I think you should try to help you find it easier to listen to growling and screaming, try looking up lyric videos of the songs or read the lyrics while listening to the song, it sometimes helps understand what they're saying. I'm sorry if I sound like an elitist when I go off about this, but I extremely despise and find it offensive when people label Electronic music as techno, EDM etc. It's false labeling. Techno is what this is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techno a certain sub-genre of electronic music. EDM is just an umbrella term for categorizing sub-genres such as House, Trance, Dubstep, Electro, Techno, Drum n Bass and basically any other electronic music that you'd hear in a club or a rave. I as a matter of a fact am not a fan of most of the EDM stuff, so which is why I tend to get a little bit aggravated when people label electronic music as techno, EDM etc. seriously once you dive into IDM, Ambient, Trip-Hop, Industrial, Harsh Noise, Synthpop and the 100's of other electronic music sub-genres you'll discover that there's more to electronic then all of that stupid rave music. Anyways end of rant, time for more Opeth [video=youtube;dB1NuL-8Dhc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB1NuL-8Dhc[/video]
That's the thing. I don't care about lyrics. Seriously, lyrics are the very last thing to enter my consideration when it comes to music. It's not really a question of whether or not I can understand them when it comes to growling/screaming, it's the sound itself.
Yeah, I can understand that, I do agree that lyrics aren't the greatest focus, though I figured that if you understood the lyrics better then maybe that might help out with not disliking the sound of it. But honestly I can completely understand that, since I used to have a dislike for any screaming and growling due to the sound of it.
