I spent most of my monday evening refreshing iTunes. Suddenly, it was there. My first impression was that CL was probably going to be hard to get into. But in my experience that is a good sign. Most of my favourite albums were real growers.
My impression so far: AMAZING. Probably better than...
1. Katatonia
2. Anathema
3. Pain of Salvation
4. Novembre
5. Porcupine Tree
6. Wolverine
7. Riverside
8. My Dying Bride
9. Blackfield
10. Swallow The Sun
I think I read about them somewhere in the Katatonia forum. I really liked "the window purpuse", but not "cold light of monday." When "Still" came out I didn't really like that one either, but now my eyes have opened. I love them all! Keep up the awesome work guys!
I can also remember an interview about a softer album. I think it was Jonas who talked about that. He didn't say it would be in the next album, but that he would like to do one sometime in the future, I think...
Have heard it 3 times now. Sounds awesome. Some weaker songs, but I'm sure they will grow on me. Just the same way as some songs on the previous album did! Blackfield is awesome!
Awesome! Now I'm going to run around superhappy all day because of this! :D
Looking most forward to:
- Katatonia
- Anathema (?)
- Winds
- Swallow The Sun
- Novembers Doom
- Orphaned Land
- Porcupine Tree
- Blackfield
