Of course, been a fan since Still Life came out!
I'm actually going to see them live next Saturday, going to miss the WC quarterfinals but what the hell... Opeth is one of my all-time favorites, for sure.

Nice band to kick back to and relax. I like their Damnation album at times. Most of their "rocker" songs are abyssmal, so I avoid those. Hell, I think just about every melodic death band should avoid fast songs, since they'll never reach the intensity of pure death metal. Just stick to slower songs with lots of instrumental work, some acoustics and clean singing, and the occasional growl. That's how good melodic death is supposed to sound.

Bump.
Watershed is a stellar album. Anyone want to agree with me?

I'm not entirely sold on Watershed, yet, but Blackwater Park is a masterpiece and I've never even heard what I'd call a mediocre Opeth album. Damnation served as my crossover to more extreme metal (though it, obviously, was not an extreme metal album).

Watershed has plenty of the lighter side of Opeth's music, so if you like Damnation I'm pretty sure Watershed will grow on you. You're right that you can't call any of their music mediocre.

It's probably got more to do with the fact that I haven't really given it a serious listen. Casual, while focusing on other things...sure. But I've not really paid attention to the music, and need to in the near future. I've been feeling more "Opethy" lately, so it's a matter of time.

Well, I"m listening to Watershed again, at the urging of y'all and my metal conscience, and it honestly just doesn't do it for me the way other Opeth albums have. I know Ghost Reveries took some flack, too, but I thought it was pretty strong (and LOVED the organ...or more likely synth programmed to organ sounds). Not sure why this one doesn't hit me the same way.
Not that it's bad. It just doesn't offer anything that I feel I can't get in better form on another Opeth album. Like I said, my Opeth days began when I contrasted what I heard on Damnation with Blackwater Park, wondering how the same band produced those two pieces (without severe multiple personality disorder, that is). I'm still exploring them, somewhat. I'm very familiar with Damnation, BP, and GR, and I also own Deliverance and Still Life. I haven't explored as much in their oldest three albums, but have had that on my "musical to do" list for quite some time.
