I really don't know why people bash Viva. It's got some great songs IMO, a nice "urban" touch and it is a solid release.
You should listen to TGCD for sure! "Forsaker" (NiTND opener) kind of remind me of it.
I bought it from Burningshed. Received an e-mail yesterday saying that my package has been sent from UK. I still hope for it to arrive in less than a month.

I was about to order mine from Newbury Comics just to get the autographed booklet and then guess what? No shipping for Brazil.
Oh well, at least I don't have such problem with the Peaceville website but hey, I'll miss the booklet for sure!
Maybe we are the wrong ones! :P
If this video was conceived with the purpose of bringing new fans to Katatonia and it is being praised on myspace/facebook, etc, well then their label might be satisfied with it after all.

I hate living in a country where 1 euro is like 3,5 times more valuable than the currency of my country. Hahaha.
Oh well, that didn't stop me from buying that sweet TGCD shirt so... :)
Hmmm... studio for sure. His voice is kind of "off the spot" on Live Consternation.
Best live performance to date? IMO, "Live in Krakow, 2003". Great performance.
