new song

[OminousInane]

It's the cool thing to do to not like new stuff

Therefore.. It sucks

So true. You gotta fight the system though, the new song rules!

 

[i aint play this]

After an obscene amount os listens I can say that this song whoops ass. It's beautiful, the pre-chorus/chorus melodies are holy & epic. The riffs are also perfect and necessary for the song. Can't fucking wait until the rest is available...

 

[Grumble Grumble]

I still despise Leaders. Such an emotionless, undriven song. One of three-four songs I dislike in the entire Katatonia disco.

leaders is grand imo(ESPECIALLY the live consternation version, i just fucking LOVE the lead part in the beginning, sounds so grand)

but i must ask what are the "bad songs" in your opinion?

for me its fractured and scarlet heavens, i still stand that katatonia doesnt make any bad songs, just "less than stellar songs"

well to get on subject....

first listen, i really enjoy the song alot, i will agree with a few others, seems almost a direct sequel to TGCD, which is fine, but i like how each album prior had a totally different sound, but it retained the katatonia sound.

 

[BlueSky]

Dude step da fukk off FRACTURED!!! It owns biatch.

 

[Grumble Grumble]

also as my freind said, the vocals have a big time "waking dream" feel to them, from the Ayreon album, true true

also sorry on the fractured "hate" my friend, it just never stuck with me

 

[Srontgorrth]

The new song is great!

 

[tattz]

The song is great and the first riffs remind me of another great band
Crushing!

 

[noctambulant]

they both rip meshuggah off IMO

 

[Schism]

Thanks sooo much Katatonia, with already an amazing year in music incl. Dredg, Porcupinee Tree, Mastodon and Devin Townsend, you guys are putting the Cherry on top. Beautiful song!!!!!!

 

[bluestar]

Forsaker could also have been on TGCD. That's very boring. Hope other songs are a bit different.

 

[Nehebkau]

That's very boring.

I'm just waiting to see if the memorable choruses will return.

Just what I want... The vox in Forsaker lacks soul, they are too empty. This is the first time in my life that Jonas' vox didn't hit me in the jaw.

"Leaders" and "In The White" (wow, I'm gonna get killed for that ) are the only Katatonia songs I never listen to. The songs I deem weak on the earlier albums are still listenable, like "We Must Bury You". It's dramatically worse than everything else on LFDGD but I still get it on my head once in a while.

 

[stefan86]

Listen #12, I'm liking it more and more. Verses are getting even better and the song is making more sense.

 

[Qtulhu]

Very good song indeed and album is most likely gonna offer us even better songs (they wouldn't release the best song as single). This blends heaviness (Meshuggah-ish parts), atmospheric melodies and vocals into one in a very good way. Forsaker is definitely more complex than single songs usually are but it's only a good thing. Quite rich sound too.

 

[nizzon]

I love it more and more. The "breakdown" (or whatever the hell you call it?) at 3:05-3:18 gives me goose bumps.

 

[devinity]

just one word

B E A U T I F U L

 

[More_Leen]

What do you think about guitar solo? [2:08 - 2:37]

I love it more and more. The "breakdown" (or whatever the hell you call it?) at 4:16-4:30 gives me goose bumps.

You mean 3:16 - 3:30?

 

[nizzon]

Err, damn VLC playing me a prank. I actually mean 3:05-3:18 if i go by MediaPlayers time.

Right So this is the moment I reacted physically... I also have sth called synesthesia and it shows me a lot during these seconds..
