Code Against the Code

[Clayman77]

So guys, I think many of you have already bought their copy of Deliberation single. Just wanting to know, what are your thoughts about the new song 'Code Against the Code'.

I've been listening to that song a lot since I bought the record and I think it's an awesome song. But hey, it's Katatonia, so what else would you expect. Song is kind of simple. It's basicly based on a single riff. And as always it's full of emotion. Jonas' voxs are great and I just love that part where those heavy guitars come in. Just hoping that lyrics would have been printed somewhere in the case. So Anders, Jonas, Fred, Mattias or Daniel if you're reading this, could you please post the lyrics here or in 'Future of Speech'.

Now listening: Code Against the Code

 

[FatefuL]

yup .. lyrics needed!

 

[Morfeind]

So I take it the Deliberation EP will not be put on Itunes?

 

[TheCrackedJack]

awsome song indeed

 

[Alcapoth]

Dude, my EP's just came in today and I have been listening to CODE AGAINST THE CODE non-stop all-day. I'M ADDICTED!!!! Yet another katatonia song to get addicted to - these guys are on a roll. They simply cannot do no wrong.



Code Against the Code is my current fave Katatonia track. It has a killer "vibe" to it. It's amazing that a repetitive riff like this can work so well and it seems ONLY Katatonia can pull it off.


Damn, the song is just amazing!

Katatonia needs to return to do more shit like this (i.e. repetitiveness and straight 4/4 beats) because while there's nothing wrong as such with the new album, I never saw the tech drumming and broken-up riffing as being particularly suited to their sound

 

[VampiricYouth]

Money growing on a tree
The cold you will come to find(?)
Money going through the wire
The cold you will come to find(?)

You once were the one who had it
You once wree the one who had it
The code against the code.

 

[Hypnos]

this song is phantastic

 

[paradoxile]

4/4 beats are tr00!!!!
wonderful song...it is kind of repetetive and it make it addictive.

 

[Vincent J.]

I prefer 3/4 =P
I haven't heard the song yet btw, tomorrow is the day!!!!!11!!1

Spot on

 

[daimonion]

I remember Anders or Jonas said in an interview that they may do a bit simpler songs for the next album. Wouldn't mind that. As much as i love TGCD i think mabe they have pushed it far enough and its time to do something different?

 

[VampiricYouth]

Soul thinned out
All the filth that spoiled your baby
Spit it out when they come for you
Lowered's heir

Wow...Creepy.

Drugs?

Haven't they done enough 4/4 in the past? Don't get me wrong, I love the old songs but I prefer the new style. They should keep doing a mix of both. Or anything... they're always right

BTW, my faves are 4/5 and 7/8... 6/8 is good, too...

I never heard of 4/5
Play me that on your bass. No, just kidding, I'm shure you meant 5/4
I like some old Progrock 6/8

 

[Cis]

haha, well I could probably play even a 4/5 (cause I'm a weird bassplayer and I can do anything better than straight 4/4, it's true... ) but you're right I meant 5/4 of course

hey, we should start a band together
I like odd time signatures
btw, you know what sounds great? quintuplets! haha

yeah, and that band could be called consternation :zombie:
But we're not playing covers, own songs rule! We'll invent a new 4/5 beat
Too bad you're so far away...
Never heard of quintuplets, give me an example! Always good to learn more about music theory (I know almost nothing...)

 

[FatefuL]

i'm no drummer ;(
