Your opinion

[pac1288]

Just wondering, I bought the regular version of Watershed, not the special edition. Now tell me...would it be worth it if I bought this special edition for the bonus tracks or would it be a total waste of my money? ( yes I know I should of bought the special edition in the first place, but they didn't have it at my local record shop).

Please advise.

Thanks!

buy the special edition, your ears will thank you

My vote would be to buy the SE as well, if it's in your budget. The documentary is rad, and the bonus tracks are quite good, especially Bridge of Sighs.

It is certainly worth the extra coin. The dvd is most enjoyable, and also the extra tracks are killer. And the case is cool. It is very special edition-y and that is a good thing. Even if I hated Opeth I'd buy the special edition because also it is fun to open and close and also it is a nice material and it is also ideal for holding cds in, I'd certainly go for the special edition because think about it any extra money you have is going to pretty much the greatest band ever so yeah I'd say get it for certain.

Ive been out of the loop around here. Does the special edition come with the original's cover? Is the SE cover a slipcase or no?

 

[Tangled]

No its not worth it. Just return your regular WS and then buy special edition. Unless your rich, but I am not so I wouldn't buy both. Thats just dumb.

I have the SE and I'm actually thinking of buying the regular one as the "beater", so I don't ruin the SE.

Ha! That's actually not a half bad idea......... Have one for trips or when some idiot asks to borrow it and you realize that there aren't just scratches, but gouges and it has no chance to run. (I've had that happen to me before......)

Thanks guys for your suggestions. Seems like buying the special edition is a good idea. I forgot it came with visual material aswell.

Thanks again.

lol, same here! i have 2 copies of every opeth album. im a nerd.

The packaging is reason enough to get the SE. However imo the DVD is lacking.
I wish there was more rehearsal footage, but I'll survive. The tracks are a nice
addition too, if only you can figure out how to get them onto your computer.

I burn all my discs to CD-Rs and leave the "master copies" on my shelf. For the price of Watershed, you could buy 50 CD-Rs.

Buy the special edition and sell the original version.

It's still so new and fresh that you can get a good buck for it on eBay or some similar place if you hurry.

The documentary is rad,

Wow, I didn't think I'd see the '80s word "rad" used again, especially in a forum like this.

the bonus tracks are quite good, especially Bridge of Sighs.

This. Exactly this. I love the Bridge Of Sighs cover, and the other two tracks aren't bad either.

I just wish that the bonus tracks had been on the CD instead of (or in addition to) the DVD. Most of my music listening is done at work on a CD player, not at home on a DVD player!

 

[Mantraschism]

I'm financially irresponsible, so I'd buy it if I were you, even if I had the regular edition already. The documentary is, as usual, pretty damn cool, and 'Derelict Herds' is awesome, although I know a lot of people don't care for it.

Very good idea. Your master copies stay in mint conditionnnnn

its a bit anal considering that playing a cd doesnt usually damage a disc too much. hell, you only buy the damn thing in the first place to play it. it doesnt have much other use than that.

saying that though, i rarely use cd players and just rip the cd straight to the computer and play it that way.
