I'm making up for when I excluded them from a best album poll on the Opeth BB, which doesn't explain why I'm not using a poll format here :) Anyway, my choice is Saw You Drown. Scarlet Heavens is mesmerizing, Quiet World is eerie and tranquil at the same time, and of course the two we know and love from Discouraged are great. I also have to mention Sounds Of Decay and Teargas...Sulfur should have replaced Don't Tell A Soul as LFDGD's closing track.
 
This is quite a tough call...
I'd go for the Teargas EP, Saw You Drown being a close second (not that I'd really own this rarity :cry: ).
You already praised SYD's qualities, so I'll stick with Teargas, whose middle track 'Sulfur' would have been beneficial for LFDGD indeed. Moreover, 'Teargas' and 'March 4' push Kata's songwriting abilities to unknown limits, so compact and yet profound.
In short, SYD bears a gripping atmosphere, but the Teargas EP leaves me awestruck due to strong musical and vocal performances, which even leave room for emotions - and that shouldn't be taken for granted.
 
Sounds of decay (especially because it consists of passionate songs you can't find in any of the albums) and then Saw you drown (because i love "Quiet world" ....... need more methods to end each day...to be happy by living this way

i told him to listen to it again ;P
he did and likes katatonia now, so thats very cool. and he got the ep and is like, well, i want you to have it.
