Almost as good as Blackwater Park, Watershed is a great album! Opeth has never lost that amazing song-writing talent that they possess.
Alexis M. gave it an8:
Great album I would just like to make a comment about the Alternative press review which has made the horrendous claim that what Opeth do best is flat out shred....which is not true by any stretch of the imagination.
Eric L. gave it a9:
Akerfeldt is incapable of making anything that doesn't rule, no matter which genres he's checking. Consistant, smart, ballsy.
Attila L. gave it a10:
This album is brilliant. Perfect clean/brutal balance as always and the musicianship is top notch.
Spaciak gave it a9:
Besides Blackwater Park, Watershed is Opeths finest effort.
Z M gave it a7:
It's very good, especially Hessian Peel and The Lotus Eater. But I don't see that it's a huge step forward from Ghost Reveries as it's been touted. The keyboards are playing a more prominent role, and they're totally awesome. Burden is a little dull though. Overall, I think I still like Ghost Reveries more.
Joshua H. gave it a10:
I was disappointed the first time I listened through it, but the second time... Wow. Absolutely incredible. Akesson and Axe have definitely earned my respect, and Mikael, or course, is still a god.
