WATERSHED

When I listen to Opeth, (and I have been doing so for a few years now) I hear a band that is SO far beyond others that it is just comical. As far as progressive metal goes, Opeth is the most mature, interesting, and the just plain BETTER band than the rest. Their heavy music is heavier, and their light, musical moments are at the top as well. The amount of range this band displays is simply amazing, and Watershed is just a pinnacle of this band's career. I am not going to give any song by song breakdown, but to just make this short and simple. This is great music. It's heavy, touching, musical, mysterious, rhythmically interesting and in my opinion on of their best albums. And when I say one of their best albums, we are talking about a band that has a few other MASTERPIECES. Opeth; I thank you. You have put out a solid release and I see this band getting better and better as time goes on. Simply essential.
