Implying that's a bad thing.
Who's implying anything? Watershed is a huge dropoff in quality from Ghost Reveries. Though I've heard mellow Opeth (Damnation), so the band is not exactly going to get interesting if they tone it down a lot. They have to walk a really fine line.

I can't discuss much about Opeth because I love everything they have done since My Arms, Your Hearse, but I can agree that Watershed isn't as good as, say, Ghost Reveries, Still Life or Blackwater Part. However, I think that it is an excellent album, way above average.

I rather like Damnation a lot and prefer it to at least half their albums.
Also, I thought Watershed had an excellent A side but a very boring B side.
Damnation is my favourite Opeth
Watershed is Ok, but the growling annoys me - Adults with families and professional jobs need not apply... The music is targetted to a young male audience.

I know a few women (including family mothers) who laugh at this comment. And I have a professional job (archivist for a service of the French administration)

I wouldn't go as far as laugh at what Scott said, but I can agree that metal audiences are very eclectic. I know many older people (around your age Scott) that do listen to extreme metal with gorwling vocals.

You simply don't like that "singing" style.
Ok I admit - i am biased here. I guess I used to listen to this when I was about 19 - 24 and then it suddenly just became tedious to my ears. I used to own and thrash repeatedly albums of SLAYER, VENOM, DEATH, KREATOR, NAPALM DEATH, MORTIFICATION, and MORBID ANGEL! I still like HELLOWEEN, TOURNIQUET, DELIVERANCE, and some SPEED METAL, but no GROWLING. some how I am drawn to RAMMSTEIN! Not sure why.....? weird isnt it?
