Viva La Emptiness question about track 12

[ReRouteToRemain]

I have bought the album great by the way. But on track 12 is it ment to go straight off to track 13 at a funny point? .

It's Probley a stupid question but its on my mind

Actually that was teh way it was intended. Jonas mentioned in an interview that Omerta was supposed to end so abruptly because the song is about the mafia code of silence and this man realizes he is dying. I thought maybe something was wrong with my CD the first time I heard it because it just stops. Turns out it was supposed to.

It's "art", like...

Yeah, I definately dug the ending once I had some background. It makes complete sense and really drives home the point of the song. As usual Katatonia have proven they are musical geniuses.

Of course they are!

what if his mind was only twisted like to do something like that

I call it artistic freedom from people who have proven themselves as musical geniuses, but it's a common thing to think that everything they do is supposed to be genius. The abrupt ending of the track can have a second meaning, it probably has, but if you look at it objectively, it's just a weird musical idea which they put inthere just because they can

Heh, we never discuss anything else these days....Bloody Omerta ending.
