Heir Apparant - Best So Far?

[Draehl]

Given, we've only heard it played live, but of the tracks we've heard so far this definitely has the best overall feel to it IMO. It sounds like it might be sort of a Ghost Reveries/Blackwater Park mix as far as overall style is concerned, which is just A+ in my book.

Can't wait to hear the studio version!

 

[myndcrym370]

it's badass, I like it. The studio version is really good

 

[Luann]

I prefer lotus eater, can't compare with PH since it's a totally different song, but still prefer it too.
But, it's a good song anyways

^ thats like like saying u cant compare burgers to hot dogs because they're different meat.

It has it's moments, the outro being the best one.

 

[Lenni]

Probably one of the best Opeth songs IMO.

 

[Slynt]

It's the same song whether you've heard the studio version or the Melloboat live recording. Geez it's the same song. And currently my least favorite Watershed track, but it's fucking awesome

 

[Lachybob]

Its an awesome song, but their best? Not sure if id go that far just yet

 

[Contra dk]

I love the song.. prefer it over The Lotus Eater (that song still rules though).

Mikael's growls just sound so EVIL!11!

 

[pyr0rrzzz]

For me it's the best of the three that have been released so far and it might also become one of my favourites.

 

[^Opethist^]

Probably one of the best Opeth songs IMO.

exactly true
it reminds me strangely "black water park" !!

7:11-->8:40 !!!!!!
It's the most awesome thing I've ever heard !!

 

[EternalDamnation06]

It's ok....but not near as good as their past work.

The Lotus Eater however is a awesome new sound for them.

 

[demonofthefall6469]

It's my favorite so far, I think it'd be right at home on My Arms Your Hearse, and as a good friend of mine referred to it, it's musical curb stomping.

 

[MixGrafix]

Heir Apparent is the best track from Watershed. I have only heard the live version of it from melloboat, but I think it is the most vicious track of the three I have heard.

 

[The_Yeti]

The outro reminds me of A Fair Judgement. Does anyone else feel this way?

 

[Metalstrm]

The outro reminds me of all the songs where Opeth plays a repetitive but beautiful rhythm/lead section. Epilogue, Ending credits... etc..

It does a little, though not sure if thats just cause im listening for it now that youve mentioned it

 

[Metalstrm]

Still, it's an amazing outro in my opinion.

 

[Lachybob]

Definately, one of the highlights of the song
