Watershed Growing on Me Like a Weed

[souperdv]

1st listen: Argh! What is this!? Where did they take Opeth and replace them with King Crimson?
2nd listen: Dang...I like this Coil song...it's pretty.
3rd listen: Heir Apparent gives me chills like the end of Ghost of Perdition.
4th listen: Wow...Burden...who would have thought Mikael could sing like a demon and an angel?
5th listen: Hessian Peel, where have you been all my life?!
6th listen: Hex Omega...why do you have to end?!?

I get it now.

Be careful not to get stuck in it.

I'm waiting for the people from the "my ws experience" thread. They should bash this as well, right?

Thread of the year. Seriously.

This is in many ways my Watershed experience.

I agree, first time i heard it I was like, "that's an interesting change". Then I heard the girl and i'm like "thats a first".

Love this album already. Coil is awesome due to the melody.

 

[Cerberus III]

Coil is the weakest WS track IMO.

It's still alright.

Ohhh, almost forgot. Shit thread.

^I think Porcelain Heart is the weakest, pretty boring sometimes actually :/ The rest of the songs kicks major ass though. Haven't gotten around to listen to the bonus tracks yet, so I can't say anything about those...

Porcelain Heart doesn't start too fancy, but it progresses as nice as any other song.

I think you have to listen to both Porcelain Heart and then Hessian Peel in a row to get the full effect.

Maybe it's just me.

I listen to PH the least out of all the songs, although the falsetto vocals are simply beautiful.

i think weed is growing in my watershed, opps

I'm finding myself skipping Porcelain Heart too. Though I'm sure I'll go back to it eventually. I kinda wore it out in anticipation of the new album...

I also wore out The Lotus Eater.

In retrospect, I wish I hadn't listened to the pre-released tracks. I think Opeth albums need to be taken as a whole...at least at first. Context is important.
