Over all pretty good, lets see how the rest of it is when it comes out.

So it's actually different?
I like Opeth, I just don't think they're amazing. Amazing is usually reserved for bands who really change while still retaining good quality stuff. I just don't think Opeth changes that much. I won't deny that their mixture of genres was pretty original when they first did it, but it's just been more of the same. But I'm also not amazed by their musicianship. I like their guitar riffs but I'm sometimes bored by the drums.
But Ima check out Watershed because like I said, I like Opeth. They just aren't close to being on my top bands list.
