Yeh, this belongs on the Opeth board

[Bacchante]

but Watershed is amazing!

It was hard concentrating on driving while listening to that album.
I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable!
Does anyone else agree???

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

The Lotus Eaters and Heir Apparent are great. But it's no Still Life. Hell, it's not even a Blackwater Park.

 

[Bacchante]

ohhoho!

Maybe I'm having post-listening/new CD fangirl shock?


I think it's very different, and that's attractive to me, but I might change my mind after a week or two of listening.

We'll see

WHITE CLUSTER!

This was the case for me.

Though it's certainly a very good album.

the guitarist in my band played me 2 tracks from the cd when we were driving to walgreens and honestly to me it sounded horrible. i've never really liked opeth but this was album unbearable. more Bloodbath plz.

 

[Brooks]

I hope theend ships my Opeth Fanbuoy pack early.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

hmm dont like most of the guitarwork the new guitar player does.

not bad of an album, but not good for Opeth

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I think Burden was the song I liked the most, after about half a dozen listens of the album. Then again I think that Opeth should drop the metal now and just go total Damnation style- I think they do that much better than the half baked melo-death-progressive style of recent.

 

[Phoenix5]

I remember when everyone was saying that there wouldn't be that much of a difference with Axe on drums, but goddamn I miss Lopez. It's a style thing I think more than anything. Axe is a great death metal drummer, but I don't know how well his styles fit with Opeth.

I like The Lotus Eater a lot. Burden and Coil (minus female vocs) is okay as well. Rest of the album is pretty much a throwaway. Sounds scattered to me. I love Axe in Opeth by the way.

 

[Phoenix5]

Wrong style damnit!!!

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

i love the album

Damnation was the last awesome thing they did so I'm tempted to agree.

Melo death is not melodic death by the way.

 

[Dead Winter]

Great album, but still think The Fall of Every Season is owning everything right now.

It's like Michael joined Anathema in 1996.

 

[Phoenix5]

I need to listen to Watershed more.

I never said anything about melodeth and melodic death being the same thing...

did I?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

It wasn't directed at j00.

 

[Dead Winter]

hehe you said jew

 

[stefan86]

Wrong style damnit!!!

I think it's fresh. They're both awesome drummers.. just different.

 

[stefan86]

and oh yes on Damnation, am I the only one who sees it as their best all over album when it comes down to song quality?
