SR VII

Opeth Achieve Highest Chart Position Ever!

Impressive reviews are pouring in, including 4-stars from Blender ("Prog was rarely as songful as the brutal beauty here"), raves from Pitchfork Media ("Watershed has friction, and friction brings heat. Those left cold by metal's po-faced tendencies might well warm up to it") and a feature in Billboard ("one of the most unique bands straddling the line between progressive music and metal"). Frontman Mikael Akerfeldt currently graces the cover of Decibel. An astounding 19,000 copies were sold in its first week in stores. Therefore, the verdict is definitely in. Sweden's Opeth have set and raised the bar with their latest album, Watershed. Watershed debuted at #23 on the Billboard chart, the band's highest ever chart position and the biggest first week sales bow in its career. While the trend in today's climate finds many career bands having smaller initial weeks, Opeth, like their music, buck all trends and do their own thing, continuing to go against the grain, trending upwards and making progress.

Fresh off the hugely successful Progressive Nation Tour with labelmates Dream Theater, Opeth will return to US soil this fall for a headline run, bringing their unique blend of prog, death metal, hard rock and Swedish folk to the masses and more.

Additionally, one of the most popular New York City newspapers, The New York Times, reviewed Opeth. The article ran in this past Sundays paper. Check that out by clicking below and scrolling down.

That's what everyone was saying - I must have made an offhand comment to that effect, one which I can't even remember...guess I'm always full of surprises.

Now I'm happy to monitor the site. 

We better watch out then... no more SR, Patrick's here to monitor us! 

Have not showered since Saturday night.
It's now Tuesday afternoon.

I still have this sneaky suspicion this girl who's showing interest in me is a set-up... hmm.

Paranoid?  Yes!

This girl is a good friends with Dan and Dan dislikes me and knows how I feel towards his girlfriend... so he could ask this other girl to show interest in me to try and get me off the scent...

If so, that's cunning.

However, I don't think even he would try that!

Well I don't f**king know
Even if I checked the hot water service thingo, I would have no idea what to look for.
And yes, obviously I still get water, otherwise I would have probably died of dehydration by now.

That's what cans of coke, bottled water and alcohol are fore, Harry!

And be nice to Dahlia.
