I've owned Brave Murder Day, Last Fair Deal Gone Down and Viva Emptiness for well over a year now and they are absolutely brilliant albums. Now I had the chance to get Tonight's Decision and Discouraged Ones. I wanted BOTH, but since I was getting two cd's I only chose one (the other was Children of Bodom's latest).
Anyway, out of the two I chose Discouraged Ones because I hear Travis Smith around here said it's his fave Katatonia album. Anyway, what do ya know? I'm beginning to think the same. Seriously, this album is freaking unbelievable without a single bad track on it.
Man, SO many great songs...I feel it may even top Last Fair Deal - no joke. I really dig this shit!
In the end, it's no surprise to why Katatonia is amongst the best bands out there IMO.
Songs like I Break, Cold Ways, Saw You Drown, Deadhouse, Last Resort and ESPECIALLY Relention & Distrust. AH, then there's Nerve - you get the picture. The songs are catchy, well written and they just kick ass.
