| ____________________________________ [Jul 20,2011 9:06am - arilliusbm ""] Actually quite interested in hearing this album. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 20,2011 12:09pm - vaettir ""] A bit dissapointed by "Watershed", hopefully a return to form with the new one |

| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 12:54am - MikeOv ""] Only citing a ton of 70's prog and then name dropping My Dying Bride as the lone metal influence for your new record, is real. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 21,2011 7:44am - Yeti ""] i really want to believe this will be good, but i'm anticipating unimpressive boredom. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 10:35am - dyingmuse ""] Watershed was brilliant. Best thing they have done in a long time. I am curious how the new record sounds for sure, any release dates? |
| _______________________________ [Jul 21,2011 10:42am - Yeti ""] Watershed is good, but it's not the same Opeth. it was too clean cut, not dreamy enough. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 1:55pm - thirdknuckle ""] dyingmuse said:Watershed was brilliant. it may not be the most 'Opeth' of Opeth albums, but Watershed is a great album. Every time I listen to it I hear something new. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:04pm - sinistas ""] I vastly prefer Ghost Reveries to Watershed. Apparently this album is going to be a 70's progfest. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:10pm - arilliusbm ""] I stopped caring after Peter left. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:11pm - KEVORD ""] sinistas said:I vastly prefer Ghost. True dat! |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:13pm - thirdknuckle ""] sinistas said:I vastly prefer Ghost Reveries to Watershed. I do too... Just saying Watershed is great even though it's farthest away (so far) from what Opeth established itself to be |
| ______________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:14pm - Yeti ""] Watershed is a more coherent album than Ghost Reveries, but i agree that Ghost Reveries is better all around. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:19pm - arilliusbm ""] Only pre Blackwater Park is real. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:24pm - dreadkill ""] arilliusbm said:Only pre Blackwater Park is real. deliverance is the worst opeth album |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 3:27pm - Randy_Marsh ""] no, id say blackwater park is one of the better Opeth albums along with Still Life. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 4:20pm - Alx_Casket ""] that's like, your opinion, man |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 4:38pm - goatcatalyst ""] I used to own an Opeth themed coffee shop in Macao called Blackwater Perk |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 4:50pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] In the Sierra Mist she was Standing. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 21,2011 5:14pm - Yeti ""] My Ohms, Your Hertz |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 6:00pm - mikefrommaine ""] yeah, apparently there are absolutely no "growls" in this album. Definitely has me a bit worried... |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 6:02pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Damnation sequel or GTFO. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 6:08pm - arilliusbm ""] mikefrommaine said:yeah, apparently there are absolutely no "growls" in this album. Definitely has me a bit worried... See, I'm quite the opposite. That's why I'm interested in this album. I think Opeth should have stopped doing death growls albums ago. It's not their calling. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 6:09pm - arilliusbm ""] (don't get me wrong, he's a great vocalist either way you slice it) |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 6:15pm - dreadkill ""] I like clean vocals more than growls, but the dynamic between the two is a huge part of opeth's sound, so I'm not happy that they've ditched the gruffs |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 6:16pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Yeti said:My Ohms, Your Hertz nice. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 6:22pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] only Ghost Reveries is official. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2011 7:16pm - sinistas ""] GR tails off towards the end, but the only song I love on Watershed is Heir Apparent. |

I think Opeth should have stopped doing death growls albums ago. It's not their calling. I have to disagree due to the fact that he has some of the sickest death metal vocals ever. I think Ghost Reveries was a decent album but I hated the way the recording sounded. The drums sound less organic, the guitar tone is weaker, and his clean vocals are a bit too over-produced. As for Watershed, I think it's a pretty boring effort. The riffs are uninteresting, they lost some of their key aesthetics, and yet, at the same time, Heir Apparent was one of the best songs they've ever written. If the entire album sounded like that, it would have been a great release. With all of that being said, I'm intrigued to hear Heritage. |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 22,2011 9:30am - arilliusbm ""] He said it in an interview. and MikeovDecrepitvde, I agree that he's an outstanding vocalist for both styles. I remember saying years ago that they should drop the death vocals and move on. I don't know, I thought Opeth already did everything they possibly could with combining styles. Yea, it was their dynamic, but it was obvious they couldn't make their mind up musically after doing it for albums. I am glad Opeth will drop them. He can do death vocals for anything else, but this notion has sparked my interest in this band again. |

| _________________________________________ [Jul 22,2011 9:57am - arkquimanthorn ""] i want to hear this, if they really are abandoning some metal aspects, i'm curious. i appreciate their material, but it's always tasted bland to me. i've never gone back for repeated listens. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 22,2011 10:34am - Yeti ""] i'm listening to Watershed right now, it just doesn't do much for me. it's got some great riffs, "Hessian Peel" has a killer one towards the end, but it lacks so much. mainly in the drumming. Axenrot is a death metal drummer, Martin Lopez brought the pizazz. and that girl's voice during "Coil" is horrendous. i'm still going to buy this new one and listen to it many times, i just don't expect to be blown away. hopefully i'm wrong. |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 22,2011 1:24pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Opeth's problem is that they have no sense of transition. They go from heavy to light back to heavy with no segue or real progression. It's just boom here you go, boom there we are. I also believe they maintain the heaviness aspect just to keep up appearances with the metal crowd. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 22,2011 4:17pm - arilliusbm ""] Holy shit, best Opeth cover I've ever heard. bennyhillifier |

Heir Apparent, Porcelain heart and maybe Hessian Peel are the only notable ones. |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 26,2011 7:57am - arilliusbm ""] You'd really like Opeth's electronica album. |
