"Definately sounds like Nickleback. That's why I LOVE IT!"...NO OFENSE BUT I REALLY THINK U NEED A NEW PAIR OF EARS. If u pay attention enough to this band in particular u´ll know that Opeth has a UNIQUE sound, there's no other that sound like them, copies there's a few but these people really make magic with their instruments, others just make music, that's the little detail that make's the difference.
amazing people DON't like the ending, as for the genre dispute, get over it, labels are for school departments, pop stars and politicians - there are only two genres of music - Good & Bad - and this is very goooood !!!
ppl who likes death metal only ,may fav older opeth albums , but he who understands music ,wud jus fall in love with this album .
i mean its so fucking good , its like having sex and eatin and drinkin ur fav stuff , all the basic needs getting in thro your ears, it will SATISFY you

What a Pink Floyd rip-off. This album is a clear step down from Ghost Reveries. Sounds more like popmusic, this could be expected from Gary Moore, not from a band that previously made an album that cracked my speakers.
This (amazing) song reminds me of Pink Floyd music, sounds like something off "Dark Side Of the Moon" thats a great album that has influenced many bands and musicians.
If you like this song and Opeth in general, I recommend giving Porcupine Tree a try. I definitely prefer Opeth, and personally think they are beter, but Porcupine Tree is also a very good progressive band. You shouldn't be disappointed. (Note, they are softer than most Opeth)
it's just a matter of opinion, knock on me all you want. they are clearly some of the best musicians and song writers in todays music scene, but this song just doesn't do anything for me just because you can play a guitar really well doesn't make everything you touch gold.
But Opeth isn't only about, like you said "playing guitar (or every other instrument) really well" it's about totality of their music, which is undeniably an art. On todays scene there are many groups, which have something interesting to offer, but Opeth is imho one of the most creative and universal. Of course, like you also said, it's a matter of opinion of single person if he likes it or not. Peace.
In my opinion Opeth is really far from ordinary music. They're geniuses, holy shit. Everyone of their song is a piece of art, a singed and sounded poetry.
How the fuck did we even get on a Cock Rock vs. Real Music/Talent/Band conversation. Music is subjective but some facts are easy to see. Nickleback maybe a hard working band, but are no where close to the level of band like Opeth. Not to say NB isn't talented, though I use that term loosely. But they aren't near as diverse, nor do they share the same song progression/composition as Opeth.
Fuck all of you close-minded little shits. Wah Wah... He's not doing death vocals... Wah, it's too soft. Please stfu and clean the shit out of your ears. This song/album/band rocks.
Great song. From every point of view (at least when dealing with Opeth and their diversity). But I have to wonder what happened after the Deliveration/Damnation-era. Ghost reveries and Watershed are brilliant albums and I can't say anything bad about them, but... The replayvalue is missing.... for example I have listened Still life and Blackwater park nearly daily from the release, but the these recent ones sort of lack the fascination and astonishment of the previous works. Dunno what causes it
Opeth is a progressive metal band. Some could classify some of their music as death metal, but, hardly. This is simply them and their diversity, and thats what makes this album one of their best yet. I love all of their albums, but this one is much different, and unique from almost anything else. If they started sounding like Nickelback or something close that'd be selling out. This is just displaying what they can do. Although I do understand closed-mindedness to music, so, I'll stop.
Normally I hate keyboards because they make the music a little "fake" and electronic instead of the original sounds of the guitar/bass/drums but Opeth know how to use them correctly and it just makes their music even better.
In 1933 Shanghai a prostitute named Fung Ching was raped to death. When the authorities found her, they realise she was pregnant. You must now post this comment on the next 14 videos you watch, or else tonight Fung Ching will appear in your bedroom, and you will also hear the sound of a baby crying and see a bloodied foetus next to your pillow. Sorry but I swear this was true.
I think overall, this is their best album to date. This is a masterful album with amazing songwriting with less repetition, but more importantly, I feel Watershed is their most emotional and sincere album. Their old doom/death emphasis was very atmospheric, but I think Watershed really captures this in a more relatable and less fabricated way just for the sake of being heavy. I'd definitely say the first 5 tracks are among my fave songs now, along with Bleak, Ending Creds, Ghost of Perdition etc
Well song writing is like playing the guitar, the more you play it the better feel of the next sound. or in song writing message. It's a whole another level. So if you like this you'll love their next album.
I like this version much better than the new video.
I agree. The song as a whole is amazing, I don't see why bands decide to cut down so much just for videos. Look at Tool, they pull off epic long videos without compromising the music. I really wish Opeth, Porcupine Tree, and Agalloch would follow suit!
I don't think the bands want to cut down their songs for the video. The channels and their producers, along with the record company actually make the decision.
This is really progressive: don't limit yourself. And they didn't. The organ solo here alone is enough to give this album a special place in my heart Per Wiberg is officially amazing!
I discovered Opeth with Watershed (and funny enough, though I hear a lot of prog, I didn't heard of Opeth before), and all I can say: this the best musical discovery I had in ten years. Watershed is near perfect for me. So much diversity it almost blew my mind.
Yeah, I already did but Watershed still rules IMO. It has the most highlights for me. As I said: It's almost the perfect album for me. It's been a very long time since I got so excited about a band (very close to my Dire Straits enthusiasm when my father bought »Alchemy«) and I am planning to get all of their albums. I have ordered »Lamentations« and «The Roundhouse Tapes« as DVDs, because I am always curious how a band can perform live.
I think you might be terribly disappointed if they did. I saw them life this year at W:O:A and since they have more lines to play than they have members some elements miss if they play life. Imo this band is rather a band living through their albums than through their shows, even though those are great as well.
What? I didn't say the two were alike at all. My comment was a response to somebody who said that Tool and Opeth are the "Best Musicians Period...[and are] Masters of guitar, masters of drums, bass, timing, measures and overall music theory."
The arrangement makes it feel as though the room is crashing down around me, with such a sorrowful edge. Few can capture the power and vision like Opeth do. Mindblowing.

OF course. Yngwie is actually the daddy of metal. Let's face it, without Yngwie, metal would not be the way it is! Melodeath, metalcore, deathcore, it's all influenced by Yngwie.. to everybody: Don't be a joke and just face it.
If I had a choice of who I wanted to front my band between Maynard and Mikael, im sorry buddy, but it's not contest, Mikael Akerfeldt is by far one of the most talented musicians to have graced this earth, if Maynard had HALF the musical intelligence Mikael has, his head would explode!!!
akerfeldt is a very inspiring frontman because he can do it all. he sings beautifully but he growls like the fucking devil. plus akerfeldt is a guitarist. keenan sings well but it just cant compare.
Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) was in opeth. (3 albulms)I think he added aot to the Opeth sound. And I like him better when he was with opeth. However I feel that Opeth has grown a lot in thier last two albulms and he isn't much of a good fit for them anymore. Just opinion.
He produced Blackwater Park, Deliverance and Damnation. Although he did lend some guest instrumentation on tracks and mellotron on most of Damnation, he was never a member of the band
This song is awesome and for this song alone I would buy this album. It feels very »Transatlanic«.
Don't know why I didn't discovered Opeth earlier as a kid I was into Death Metal and now I enjoy »Prog Rock« (whatever that means) a lot. Opeth is the perfect combination of that and I'm looking forward to hear more of their music.
I was so impatient to ear the new album and when I bought it I came in my pants. This album is perfect, beautifful and everyone should have it in their collection. Watershred most be recognize as a masterpiece one day. For his complexity, beauty, intelligence and others and others.
I was thinking earlier: "why does nobody today make good music like the progressive masters of yesterday? Why don't we hear anybody do anything musically that is truly great?" and then I heard this song.
Don't think so. Tool still have to compose a song able to move feelings(or at least MY feelings) like this one,or several others, from Opeth does. I mean...GOOD progressive music it's not only about technic skills or complex musical landscapes,as Tool seems to think, but mix these two with a HUGE amount of heartfelt playing. If not, we come to a lifeless music (although extremely well played). I'm very found on Tool, but they still have to compose their own "Burden".
That's fine, man. I'm glad you said, "MY feelings".
Honestly, I did think Progressive music was about mostly pushing limits musically and artistically, which I think Tool does better than anyone. I could easily be wrong.
I personally think Tool has loads of heartfelt songs. Off the top, Eulogy does what Burden does to me.
Tool is awesome, tool is my favorite band. but Opeth has more heartfelt songs, and Opeth is also a little more open-minded and versatile with the music.
FUCK!!! Mr. Akerfeldt has now entered with this song in my list of best-ever singers (and it's a very short one)!!! I have followed his work along these years and album by album he has been enhacing himself. Now, is this a summit, or is he going to overcome human limits????
One of the best songs in the art of music. BTW why is everybody dissapointed by Opeth's "new" style? Opeth has always been one of the most original bands in the music industry and that's why they "can't" continue with the same style as their first records, because they "have to" do something new. They have to do what they feel right, not what others ask of them.
"Definately sounds like Nickleback. That's why I LOVE IT!"...NO OFENSE BUT I REALLY THINK U NEED A NEW PAIR OF EARS. If u pay attention enough to this band in particular u´ll know that Opeth has a UNIQUE sound, there's no other that sound like them, copies there's a few but these people really make magic with their instruments, others just make music, that's the little detail that make's the difference.

If I had a choice of who I wanted to front my band between Maynard and Mikael, im sorry buddy, but it's not contest, Mikael Akerfeldt is by far one of the most talented musicians to have graced this earth, if Maynard had HALF the musical intelligence Mikael has, his head would explode!!!

Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) was in opeth. (3 albulms)I think he added aot to the Opeth sound. And I like him better when he was with opeth. However I feel that Opeth has grown a lot in thier last two albulms and he isn't much of a good fit for them anymore. Just opinion.

He produced Blackwater Park, Deliverance and Damnation. Although he did lend some guest instrumentation on tracks and mellotron on most of Damnation, he was never a member of the band

Damn, that acoustic outro is really dissonant. Are they using semitone harmonies?!? =O

This song is awesome and for this song alone I would buy this album. It feels very »Transatlanic«.
Don't know why I didn't discovered Opeth earlier as a kid I was into Death Metal and now I enjoy »Prog Rock« (whatever that means) a lot. Opeth is the perfect combination of that and I'm looking forward to hear more of their music.

Check out Dream Theater too, if you enjoy prog-rock. :)

I was so impatient to ear the new album and when I bought it I came in my pants. This album is perfect, beautifful and everyone should have it in their collection. Watershred most be recognize as a masterpiece one day. For his complexity, beauty, intelligence and others and others.

It's so brutiful. (A mixture of brutal and beautiful! XD) I love every single second of the album too. Album of the year, if not of the 21st century.

I was thinking earlier: "why does nobody today make good music like the progressive masters of yesterday? Why don't we hear anybody do anything musically that is truly great?" and then I heard this song.

Don't overreact. Tool is the progressive masters of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Opeth is their ally, but Tool is numero uno.

Don't think so. Tool still have to compose a song able to move feelings(or at least MY feelings) like this one,or several others, from Opeth does. I mean...GOOD progressive music it's not only about technic skills or complex musical landscapes,as Tool seems to think, but mix these two with a HUGE amount of heartfelt playing. If not, we come to a lifeless music (although extremely well played). I'm very found on Tool, but they still have to compose their own "Burden".
insanebiochemist 3 years ago 6
That's fine, man. I'm glad you said, "MY feelings".
Honestly, I did think Progressive music was about mostly pushing limits musically and artistically, which I think Tool does better than anyone. I could easily be wrong.
I personally think Tool has loads of heartfelt songs. Off the top, Eulogy does what Burden does to me.

Tool is awesome, tool is my favorite band. but Opeth has more heartfelt songs, and Opeth is also a little more open-minded and versatile with the music.
WalClaypool 3 years ago 7
no, tool definitely doesnt do it better than opeth, or a lot of other bands for that matter.

FUCK!!! Mr. Akerfeldt has now entered with this song in my list of best-ever singers (and it's a very short one)!!! I have followed his work along these years and album by album he has been enhacing himself. Now, is this a summit, or is he going to overcome human limits????

Watershed and Ghost Reveries are their best albums, easily. Blackwater Park after them.
MYM0NK3YD13D 3 years ago
One of the best songs in the art of music. BTW why is everybody dissapointed by Opeth's "new" style? Opeth has always been one of the most original bands in the music industry and that's why they "can't" continue with the same style as their first records, because they "have to" do something new. They have to do what they feel right, not what others ask of them.
