I dont know what to think of the new Katatonia album either, there are some good songs but... i dont know, nothing like the smash hits from NiTND. Some songs sounds messy, just too much going on. And I wish Jonas could use some harder vocals of some sort, not screams but try something with a little more punch for some diversity, he is almost starting to bore me.
REALLY looking forward to the new Daylight Dies. Let's see if they can top Lost to the Living..
New Daylight Dies turns into a snore fest after the first track or two.
Sorry to hear that. I have a couple of their albums and enjoy them.
It's not that the material itself is all that bad...its just something with melodeath / doom...its really easy for things to become rather redundant.
Nah, I think they've proven they have what it takes to write an engaging album. The material is definitely the problem on this new album. There's just nothing to attach to.
Key words being ALL THAT bad, dork.
There are still good parts, but it takes more and more effort to rise out of the monotone drag that the genre and that guitar tone offer.
