i rank Classica as one of my best in the collection...
and would encourage you to get Novembrine Waltz as well

What? Arte Novecento is a groundbreaking album. Dare I say that Katatonia were highly influenced by it (all clean vocals, "cleaner" guitars, etc.)? I think so. It was a HUGE lead leap forward. Too bad they copped out and re-introduced their harsh vocals.

I really dig both their clean vocals and their growls.

Arte Novecento was recorded in Feb. 1996 and Discouraged Ones in August 1997.

DO showed Katatonia dropping the growls, introducing more clean guitars - basically going in a more "gothic" direction.

Arte Novecento did the same a year earlier AND it was recorded with Dan Swano in Sweden - a good chance that Katatonia heard it, etc.

OK people, deny it all you want, but I stand by my opinion.

Sounds like a fair assumption. I have no obvious objections to this.

an assumption indeed. an unfounded one too.
