    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.

    Watershed marks a new chapter for Opeth, one that promises infinitely more than its predecessors.

    Prog was rarely as songful as the brutal beauty here.

    Watershed has friction, and friction brings heat. Those left cold by metal's po-faced tendencies might well warm up to it.
