ASFDHG AHAHAHAHA HE'S SO GAY OMG I LOVE HIM!! =D

Yeah, that's all.

Oh wait, also, I really want Sawyer/Claire 'Lost' fic. I do I do I do. It's surely going to become cannon at some point sooooon? But I wouldn't trust the writers to do it well, so I want someone to write fic dammit! Why haven't they?? What the hell is happening to me, I'm not a slasher anymore wtf?? =S

Watershed. It leaked, and I downloaded it. Yes, I am a bad person, blah blah blah.

So far, I am not enthused. Am only on track 3, but basically it is way too Dream Theater for me. I like DT, but, ya know, I'd put on one of their albums if I wanted Hammond organs and proggy lead guitars.

There are heavier sections, which is good.

But the songs lack cohesion. Opeth has always been about quick changes, switching up tempo and volume, but they have always done it well. On Ghost Reveries, their last album, the longer tracks just flow without you even realising that the music is constantly shifting, growing, expanding till it's 10 minutes later that the song ends, and you still want more. Watershed, so far, isn't doing that.

As soon as track 1 started though, I didn't like it. Starting with this folksy bit where the vocal melody was just horrible. And I like my albums to start with a punch, quite frankly. So I don't think opening with an accoustic section was the way to go, boys.

So the first two tracks, there were good bits but they were passed over too quickly in favour of these meandering folksy sections and, like I said, a lot of the lead work is suspiciously Dream Theater-esque. It feels like the heavy parts are just there as filler, and they're way too choppy. Opeth always knew how to keep a good riff going, now it feels like they're trying so hard to feel 'progressive' that the song writing is suffering. Like they are rejecting melody and catchy hooks and trying to be 'difficult'.

And track 3 is just mid-tempo and boring, quite frankly.

We'll see if it gets any better...

ETA: It didn't =/

Also, Chris totally stood me up today! Last night we made plans to go clothes shopping, and he never showed up hahaha. My guess is he was up all night on campus, then went home and fell asleep =P I'm not pissed off at all because I was in town for milkshake with Sara anyway, so when I texted him and he didn't reply I just went home. It's weirdly fun, I've never been stood up before Lol =P

And P.S. the new episode of Lost was awesome!! =D
