About this album

Roadrunner Records Inc. (2008) Released: 3 Jun 2008 7 tracks (55:07)
Watershed is the ninth full-length studio album by the Swedish band Opeth. Published by Roadrunner Records, the album was first released digitally on the European iTunes Stores on May 19, 2008, and released physically on May 30, 2008 in continental Europe, June 2, 2008 in the United Kingdom, and June 3, 2008 in North America to universal acclaim. The album was recorded at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden between November 1, 2007 and December 13, 2007. Watershed is the first studio album by Opeth to feature drummer Martin Axenrot and guitarist Fredrik Åkesson. The artwork for the album was made by Travis Smith (who has done the artwork for eight previous Opeth releases) in collaboration with Mikael Åkerfeldt and has been publicly available as of March 30.

It was released in standard, 180 gram vinyl, and special edition versions. The special edition version includes three bonus tracks, a bonus DVD with a 5.1 surround sound mix of the entire album (not including bonus tracks), video content featuring rehearsals, and studio footage as well as expanded artwork. The vinyl release came in cardboard gatefold packaging and contained the album on two vinyl discs as well as a CD copy of the album (both included the bonus track “Derelict Herds”) and a poster.

    "The only song I have a problem with is Porcelain Heart. It just feels out of place, not to mention the entire song gets fucking annoying " [2]. Agreed, Porcelain Heart just smacks of 'hit single' to me, it's too simple and repetitive compared to the rest of the album. The lyrics are also substandard, and Mike's clean vocals sound like a parody of himself.

    Well I think both Watershed AND Heritage are bloody magnificent albums, each in their own right. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG JEEZ

    As a metal album it's a solid 3/10. However, as a pop album this is clearly a masterpiece.

    I had no problem getting into this one from the beginning. Heir Apparent is easily one of Opeth's best songs

    Watch how after Heritage, everyone will start to say they love this album. [3] Right after the next Opeth album is released, people will immoderately start praising Heritage (Of Gay). [2] I actually prefer Heritage (Of Gay) to Watershed.

    I don't have issues with the production either, I think the drums sound especially good.

    What?! The whole Album is one of the best moments in the history of Opeth and the production is great! Show me an example for a better production than this album?!
