Katatonia...A Perfect Circle?

[Metamyr]

Musically, they're fairly similar, though they do have a little bit of a different style. Lyrically they're totally different. APC is very political, which I don't particularly appreciate (especially since i disagree with a lot of their views) while Katatonia is all about emotion and relationships.

Katatonia always reminded me of Flaw.

^haven't you bugged off yet?

wtf i break joo face

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

but who cares? because katatonia>>>>>>>>>>>>APC

And here i was thinking i was the one! God, i really cannot stand the APC-love. APC is all the lame aspects of Tool...and yet people fawn over it.

Go figure.

Go figure.

I think the first APC album is good and really does not sound anything like Tool. But everything they released after that has been pretty pointless (and a lot of Thirteenth Step does sound like Tool-lite), which the band members seem to have finally realised because as far as I know the band has pretty much dissolved.

I got into A Perfect Circle after I got into Tool and I've always preferred Tool. Although I think Maynard does a better vocal job in APC.
More on topic: I've actually never heard Katatonia. I may just have to do that.

 

[all_sins_undone]

[affinityband]

That is horrific. Plus spending time to make that in photoshop is pure nastyness.

But even if you dont like Tool/APC you can like katatonia. I dislike the music from both of those bands but I really enjoy katatonia's.

yea dude, get some katatonia.. I recommend starting with their album "the last fair deal gone down"

 

[daz436]

i would go for Viva Emptiness first personally I find it the easiest to get into

 

[MegaMoose]

APC is all the lame aspects of Tool...

And when Tool is so lame to begin with, that's bad news.

I find it a bit too poppy (still a good album though) I reckon Last fair deal displays better songwriting...

 

[hibernal_dream]

Yes, newer Katatonia is Tool/APC worship.

 

[CF87]

The difference is the adam jones from tool can't play guitar very well.

 

[westknife]

yeah good thing katatonia is known for their fiery guitar work
