Mike C gave it a9:
Not the groups best by a long shot. The first 4 songs are absolutly killer, the next 3 could have been shortened by about minutes. And what's with every song having a gimmicky ending? Burden? Heir Apparent?! anyways, it's Opeth, the greatest, most creative and beautiful heavy metal band around now, and this is a great album with some great flaws that keep it from really being essential like Still Life, Ghost Reveries and Morningrise. Hessian Peel is a masterpeice, no question about that.
David gave it a4:
Further proof Akerfeldt & Co. are incapable of interesting, fresh music. At least Ghost Reveries had some great songs. This one barely has any good ones; boring prog-lite at its worst.
Kraxx gave it a7:
Good & solid, but not awesome like Ghost Reveries was. This is more a subtle shift. Perhaps the personnel changes made things a little uneven. Hopefully it suggests a more creative and coherent shift next time.
Alex D gave it a10:
Simply breathtaking, an album that starts up like Deliverance does, enging up like Damnation / Blackwater Park, but with more memorable riffs. Definitely a must get for Opeth fans!
Jack O. gave it a10:
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.
