I was wondering how was the response to VE in different countries. I've only read reviews from Germany, France and Switzerland so far.

In France some mag say it's a great album (how right they are!!) :) and some others that VE is weaker than LFDGD.

In Switzerland, the only two reviews I read were awful. Transit Mag and Gryphon Metal keep on saying that this album is a pop album and that 90% of the songs are useless. Maybe this explains why there were so few people at Aarau and Schindellegi gigs... :heh: :heh:
 
Fuck that!!!! It appears the only country in which the reviews were awful is Switzerland! :heh:

Are Swiss people able to listen to something else than Samael??? (though I really like their music) :D

Here is the fucking review published on Gryphonmetal.ch. I don't know what happened they usually write good reviews :)


<<ONLY ONE GOOD TRACK
Experimental album for this storic band that comes back after two years. What a delusion!!
This cd is very far from gothic...their music tries to mix Psychedelic 70's and alternative rock...but the songs are not up to the task...........
The first single"Ghost of the sun" is a very strange song that mixes elements of Psychedelic rock and alternative metal guitar...a very bad song...i think that they've tried to play something original but result is very far from what it would be!!!!!!!
"Sleeper" is another useless song...what a noise!! In this song they seem a 70's band!!!!
I have to wait the track no.4 before i can finally listen to something good..."A premonition"is a good song in which they remind me to THE CURE concerning the deepness of the sound.
"Will I arrive" shows Katatonia's soul.....a very hard song in which the refrein shows all their melancholy, but unfortunately not every part part of this song is well-structured.
The atmosphere of this album never changes and sometimes it's very boring, although Katatonia are still able to surprise here and there with touches of nice melodies: but it's not sufficient because the structure of the tracks is unsuccesful. The sound made by the guitars is as bad as the vocals which are simply tedious !!
Just some words for "One year from now" , that is a very sad ballad that may be compared to an alternative rock one
The cd goes on and there's nothing to save till track no.13......"Inside the City of Glass" which in my opinion has something in common with Sentenced instrumental tracks: it's a very depressive gothic song!!!! Only one good track....does it worth the price of this cd??

rating: 03/10 >>

Thanks for the good promotion. I'm sure it attracted lots of people in Schindellegi and Arau.

Same here !!! :D
catatonia??? o_O

Strange the things about Katatonia in Swiss, a bit people in shows, weak reviews, I think here in my country Katatonia can reach at least 500 people :erk: :cool:
 
I dont think giving Katatonia good reviews is a good thing if too many people are giving the band good reviews the band will only get more and more famous, I wish they were no reviews I dont want the bizkit people finding out about good music besides its not like they have to tell us if katatonia is good or not we already know and no one can change our minds. KATATONIA makes us complete.
