Top 10 Best Songs On Opeth's Watershed
I'm glad Hessian Peel is at the top. The opening part is so amazing, and the middle soft section is cool too. Then there's a melody that plays like a lullaby, followed by a transition - and boom! It's brutal all of a sudden. There's a ripping guitar solo and then one of the best Opeth riffs of all time. That riff sounds like it was written during the Blackwater Park sessions! Then we get some classic Opeth tropes that are also cool. Awesome song.
Definitely the best song. Burden and Porcelain Heart are the most mainstream.
Love the heavy beginning and the peaceful second part. It alternates like that until the middle of the song. I love it.
In my opinion:
7. Coil - Short but very beautiful, and it has female vocals in it. Beautiful.
6. Heir Apparent - Even though I voted for it and it's lower on my list, it kicks ass with the guitars and brutal vocals.
5. Hex Omega - I love how it's not a boring beautiful piece like Coil. It's like a longer version of it with heavy moments.
4. Porcelain Heart - A little similar to Hex Omega but heavier and longer. I love it.
3. Burden - Very beautiful and soft. You can lie down and relax to this.
2. The Lotus Eater - It has a mixture of soft and brutal vocals, and the guitars - holy $#!T!
1. Hessian Peel - The longest song from this album, and it's pretty much tied with Burden and The Lotus Eater. It's very beautiful and dark for the first five and a half minutes, then it gets brutal. It's a mixture of progressive rock/metal and death metal (of course). Kicks ass, just like this whole album.
The female vocals are beautiful.
