Indeed, I have to agree. Those who say this is a bad album, are completely musically retarded. I find this album some of the very best Opeth have ever done. Just because the retards can’t compare this album to the others of Opeth, it doesn’t mean that it is a lame record, what’s lame, are the retards who think that music shouldn’t develop and change, that would have been the opposite of creativity.

Anyone who says this album is bad is musically retarded. Complex time signatures, great vocals, incredible work with harmonic scales (giving it a very distinct atmosphere), secondary dominant fun … and all around a shit ton of creativity. To say this is “bad” is to say you like to jack off to double pedals rampaging to open E. Which is boring. A+ record. They are doing an icnredible job advancing their sound and not just falling into the pit of shitty metal bands that exist. Diversity in a genre always brings out the best artists.

I have to chuckle when I read musical opinions… in the case of Opeth, the badn I’m easily most passionate about, each album is rated as the best of their work by some, the worst by others. My problem has always been that I am unable to decide on their “best” or “worst”…. but you know, it really doesn’t matter. Take my word for it, “Watershed” is easily brilliant and unique, no matter how it stacks up aginst their other albums.

this is one of those albums that grows on you. It shows the real depth of the band, that they aren’t going to punch out the same sound album after album.It is complicated and thought out. I respect any band that challenges their past material and pushes the boundaries. Holy Hell, wish i had 1/100th their talent…. ok maybe 1/5th ;-) give it a listen (more than once Socrates) and judge it on its own merit , not comparing it to other albums.

This is definitely Opeth’s worst album. I’ve been a fan for a long time now and was really looking forward to this album. Unfortunately, it’s just not very good. I was very disappointed. Hopefully this is just a bump in the road and not a sign of things to come.
