It was written after three days and over 10 listens. Only the first one was in 5.1 in the studio, the rest in stereo from the promo. That's enough to form an opinion on the music which isn't going to change drastically (indeed I've since listened a lot more, and it hasn't). The only thing I can't (and didn't) comment on is the album's longevity. Additionally, the aim of the review was not to 'cash-in' as you so tactfully put it, but provide a useful indicator for fans of the band wondering what Watershed is going to be like. At the moment there aren't a vast number of people in the position to provide this so I thought I'd put the effort in and give it a shot.
