Watershed definitely. Repulsion seems very aggressive IMO whereas Watershed is more mysterious.

 

[Obtuse]

I like Watershed, for the same reason as Vega. Repulsion sounds like the name of some generic black metal band.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Watershed.

 

[BrutalD]

I would have said Repulsion but Watershed has grown on me, and Heir Apparent much more suits Watershed.

 

[Ruun]

this is because you dont know the name actually ...
what if if they got "the drapery falls" on still life?!
its the same ... doesnt fit... you have to get familiar with it! (X

i think repulsion sounds much more like opeth ...
dunno !

 

[rayden_ad]

watershed!

 

[Whisper and Weep]

Watershed def. When I read the blog about the repulsion part I was thankful he didnt go through with it. I really like Watershed

 

[i aint play this]

Repulsion is a pretty fucking good title. Better than Watershed imo.

Somehow "Watershed" suits Opeth more.

 

[BrandonS]

Repulsion is not the emotion that should be linked to an Opeth record

 

[Tash]

Well....when someone mentions "Repulsion" I get 2 instant images. The band, and the movie. Both good images, but "Watershed" is more appropriate considering....

Watershed is a great name!! If the album was actually called Repulsion, I wouldn't know what to think. I honestly thing Repulsion sounds too common, and just unintelligent. Repulsion should be for a straight-up death/thrash band, which I don't get much into anyway. Simply doesn't interest me at all. Repulsion would have been repulsive uke:

So, Watershed for me!!

 

[Sinten]

repulsion doesn't have anything behind it really

shit title, i'm happy with watershed

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Watershed by a million miles.

 

[KingVEE]

i like repulsion better, but watershed suits opeth better.

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

Repulsion is too "metal" a title for Opeth.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[Black Session]

somehow I think if it would have turned out to be Repulsion and he mentioned thinking of calling it Watershed, we would have the same thread and all people would say the exact same things, but then saying that Repulsion is so much better ...

oh well, definitely Watershed for me though just because it is very unexpected, and is a name that for most people doesn't seem good at first but then grows on you, just like their music.

"Repulsion" doesn't sound like Opeth. It really reminds me of that green head which Mike was talking about.
