Pretty much. It's sad that theres metalheads out there who will listen to an opeth track thinking its great then hearing an acoustic/soft part suddenly, and going "omfg these guys aren't bruuuutal enough, this is so pussy"
It's disheartening to hear 80% of Watershed being completely alienated from anything they have ever done before. Sure it's a new direction, but what's missing is the metal portions that made Opeth such a dynamic force. It's not "retarded" to think "all I hear is prog rock with a side of metal" on an Opeth disc. I guess I am 1/10000000 who think their new direction is disturbing, but not in a good way.
