Good Katatonia Songs?

[Draehl]

So I'm a big Opeth/Amorphis fan and fans of both bands seem to love Katatonia so I thought I'd give them *another* chance. A while back I heard some of their songs but they seemed rather dull to me.

But I do want to give them another chance...so if you guys could name just a few(3-5) songs I could *gasp* download I'd really appreciate it

Try to gimme some variety...something old, something new, something catchy and something true(hell I duno)? Just name off some good songs

Thanks!

Download these five songs:

Evidence
The Future of Speech
I Am Nothing
Relention
Brave

Those are five songs from five different albums I really liked the first time I heard them, they really stood out for me. They're all very catchy sounding with catchy choruses and killer guitar work. And they're all very crushingly sad. Wow, what a great band.

You gotta hear "Teargas" of the "Last fair deal gone down" album.

It's not neccesarily their best song, but its nearly impossible not to like at the first listen.

I loved Teargas on first listen, of course, by the time I got LFDGD I'd already heard everything before it, and Katatonia was my fav band, so they couldn't do anything wrong by my books. And Dispossession is another good one from LFDGD. MY first Katatonia song was For My Demons.

"Old: "Deadhouse", "Last Resort"" <- OLD? WTF???

I was thinking old(er) songs without growl. No need to get all troll on me.

Trolls make me hungry. And Deadhouse is the best DO song, or Cold Ways...or Saw You Drown...or I Break....etc...

Teargas is an absolute must! Deadhouse too. Just buy "last fair deal gone down" and that'l sort you out.

That's a good start, but it's really hard to favor any one album over another...

hey, Elek, that was exactly what happened to me.
when i first listened to "discouraged ones" about 5-6 years ago, it sounded really boring...
but now i like it a lot...as well as the other new-katatonia releases.

as i am also a big amorphis fan, (though i did not love the last 2 albums)
i'd recommend you to get "last fair deal gone down" or "tonight's decision" albums; they are filled with melodic melancholic riffs...very inspired stuff. "discouraged ones" is very good too, but not very catchy sometimes...it's a disc to listen when you wanna go down...and the latest one, "viva emptiness" is very dynamic and aggressive...you should get this in the end...try this, i guess you'll get a great perspective from katatonia.

see ya!
