The thing is, while I can fully understand that Watershed would sound impressive to somebody not fully acquainted with the rest of Opeth's discography, it sounds like nothing particularly interesting or special to somebody who
is. I still think it is the worst thing they've got in their entire catalogue, showing minimal progression and development from where they were 3 years ago. The Ghost Reveries is a vastly better record than Watershed and I struggle to understand even for a moment how anybody could opine otherwise.
