Have you ever given My Arms, Your Hearse a good listen? Astonishing albums and probably my favorite Opeth album to date.

Still Life is the best album ever made, man.




Shut up Sab!

BLACKWATER PARK BABY!!!

Why bother listening to the song if you don't like it?

BLACKWATER PARK BABY!!!

Not the best album ever made, but it is the best Opeth. For now...

I LOVE Watershed. I love that Opeth has progressed and changed their sound a bit. One of the worst things any band can do is continously plop out the same old style of tunes and themes album after album. Even a subtle shift is ideal. A band can and will lose a few fans, particularly those who fear change, but any musician, any good musician is essentialy an artist who needs to continue creating and expressing themselves in new ways, even if it means risking an occasional fan. You can't please everybody all the time, and you shouldn't have to.

permit me to give u an example then, you say there's evolving and progression in watershed

for me they're stuck in this prog-wankery snoozefest Åkerfeldt is so enamoured of. there's change and change, look at Enslaved, they've too incorporated prog elements into their music, but theyve done it well.

LEZ JOUST!

Gotta get this Watershed and see what's all of this about. Like all their stuff since Blackwater Park anyway. Hope changing teh drummer (Martin Lopez was all shades of ace) and one of guitars didn't do much harm.

Though after seeing youtubish version of Porcelain Heart I can agree it's bit meh of unspecified reason.

Every other song on the album is outstanding.

CORRECTAMUNDO!!!

Opeth pushed me further away from them with this.. Ghost Reveries was something I had hoped would be a once-off, but this album is almost just as forgettable. Damn.. I'm annoyed cos I was really hoping this'd put the same feeling into me as older Opeth albums did.. Bugger.

*toddles off to find Blackwater Park and Morningrise*

I did not like PH too much myself untill 2 days ago, then it somehow sunk in and I love it now. Oh yeah, and I think Watershed is one of their best Albums. I don't really know what people expected them to do. Record another Blackwater Park? Then they could have as well just quit making music.

And some people even consider 'Ghost Reveries' brilliant....Ihsahn for example

Speaking of Ihsahn his latest album is pretty damn solid. Metal with that little bit extra, just how I like it.

This is about the only Opeth that I like actually. Number one for me is Morningrise, then My Arms, Your Hearse and Orchid. After My Arms, Your Hearse I stopped following them. When they released Still Life I heard some of it on the radio and didn't really like it compared to the ones before. There was less black/death in their music and de Farfalla's influence wasn't there anymore which kind of made the albums more special to me.

Ah Opeth..........

Well said. It's prog for prog's sake IMHO. Pretentious music with no real substance.

Enslaved run circles round Opeth.
