WATERSHED

Opeth

Tech/Extreme Prog Metal

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Just got it today by mail. Watershed seems to me like a necessary and eventual evolution for a band that plays a benchmark style no band bothers (or is able) to play.

More that reviewing the songs, I'll review the band members (as if had any right to do so):

Akerfeldt: he's Akerfeldt...dark, disharmonic and filthy riffs

Akesson: may be too soon to tell, but stands now next to Mikael. Not to underestimate Lindgren, but if I ever missed anything at Opeth it was a technical smooth solo, and Akesson comes as a perfect replacement. Great guitar duo, just look at the DVD duelings

Axenrot: complex drummer for such complex songs, I see no better replacement for L�pez

Mendez: shy but still present... loyal to the cause

Wiberg: such a good outcome since his slow introduction through Ghost Reveries; again, something Opeth needed to fullfill a distinguishing sound, never mind the prog element. Greater and darker keyboards this time

4.5 out of 5 stars (excellent addition)
