"I do love Burden…..not sure why that song gets a lot of shit from some of you MFers"



Because the ending solo meanders way too much, at least imo. Definitely my least favorite song on Watershed

The enigmatic thing about Opeth is no matter how complex their songs may sound, they all sound the same. Whether it is a metal portion or a random soft acoustic portions (first 5 songs contain such), they do not advance their structuring of songs. They drag the songs out and add some marvelous progressive break or acoustic melody that makes the song calm for a bit and then builds up. Nothing new. Another problem encountered is they simply don't know when to end their song. They apparently cannot write a metal jam that is under 7 minutes, anything under that time is simply known as a "break" basically. A true disappointment for myself after Blackwater Park and a disappointment for a band that is quickly losing its flavor.

'Because the ending solo meanders way too much'



agreed with that Koris, they could've easily chopped the final minute and a half or so

Hex Omega is the most overlooked track on that album, still think that outro is one of their best to see out a record.

Heir Apparent's one of their best songs as far as I'm concerned, Watershed was a lovely change of pace for the lads



I can understand Burden's ending being too long and meandering, but you can always just skip the last minute and be content with what a fucking amazing song it is without the super long outro



Yeah Ghost Reveries is what got me into this band, and definitely a gift that keeps on giving.
