I find this is the first Opeth album I can enjoy properly since Blackwater Park, and even then I found it tedius, I've never ever called Opeth masterful, I have found their earlier albums boring, pretentious and lacking in any form of energy. Watershed is a step in a completely different direction, the songs now have energy and there's some true form of passion put into it, especially the more prog oriented parts.

The overall sound of the album is completely different as well, there is far straightforward metal, and while the focus on singing reveals some weakness in lyrics, who the **** cares? It's Opeth.

Listen to their earlier albums, and tell me this isn't different.
