[quote user="Drummerdave"][quote user="Big Chris"]It finally arrived. So it's been on repeat for the last day. Opeth - Watershed. Really enjoying it, even if it sounds more like their older stuff. I hear more 'My Arms, Your Hearse' in it than anything else......No bad thing.....[/quote] I got that too - on a previous recommendation from your good self. Bit of a cheese factor but I love the drumming.[/quote] TBH, 'Watershed' is a bit of a step backwards. Not that I don't enjoy it, because I do, but 'Blackwater Park' is their finest album. 'Deliverance' & 'Damnation'. are also both very good. All 3 were produced by the guy from Porcupine Tree (Steven Wilson?) and the production is great. The new drummer isn't as good as the last guy, but he went a bit nuts and they had to oust him. :-( Who is your favourite drummer BTW? Ever since I bought 'Individual Thought Patterns' by 'Death' I have been an ardent fan of Gene Hoglan. There's no way a guy that size should be able to play how he does, but it's his diversity which is astounding. Incredible double kicking in 'Strapping Young Lad', Prog with power in 'Death;, laid back solid grooves with Devin Townsend's solo stuff ('Terria' is amazing, you simply must buy it).
