New Katatonia - somewhat disappointing :(

[Morgour]

the artwork is also in a very similar style to deliverence and damnation dont ya think?

The drumming is LEAGUES better than LFDGD... that's one of my favorite things about it

Agreed, he has much more input here, which adds to the raw power of the music...I still lament the absence of the hypnotic guitar lines, but this is far from a cliched attempt at a heavier sound, there is minimal if any loss of identity, and many of the risks taken work, resulting in their most diverse album in a long while...

I loves it

 

[no country for old wainds]

Ghost of the Sun is really growing on me at the moment.

 

[Hondo]

I think it's a great album, but not as good as Tonight's Decision or LFDGD.

I seem to be the only person who LOVES One Year From Now. :zombie:

I love that too! But it reminds me of something and I don't know what.

VE seems to be taking a while to get into. All their albums were like that for me, though. I kind of miss the hypnotic riffing as some have said, but favorites are slowly surfacing, so it's good.

 

[bleed for me]

It's an enjoyable album but something is missing.

exactly!

I love the album. Not all the songs are excellent, but it's worth its money alone for "Ghost Of The Sun", "Criminals", "A Premonition" and "Evidence" (which is easily one of the best Katatonia songs ever)... And I absolutely appreciate the fact that they made some serious progress and challenge the listener.
I hope, though, that the tracks 6 to 8 will grow on me...

Just got the album from TheEnd today, listening to it right now... so far all I have to say is

 

[Demaniac]

Burn the remembrance and Wealth are total killers! I´m sure you gonna like ´em.

I agree, Evidence is one of the least impressive songs on the album...it's still good though, especially the choruses...
