All three are great in their own way, and you really can't go wrong buying any or all of them. I personally enjoy Tonight's Decision the most over those 3.

Ah, come on... what's SO great about VE and not the older ones? It's not that I dislike it, but I think there're way better albums than that one. What about TD and LFDGD, for example?

Any of the last three cds could easily be my favorite and td and do are both amazing but not on par with those 3 and nothing before the clean vocals comes within a gazillion miles of touching those. There is a lot more emotion to be had in clean vocals. Plus the song structures are way more coherent since the clean vocals and everything is there for a reason meaning it's there for the song not for the part. as far as drumming goes it was pretty plane almost boring until daniel took helm and jonas' voice has sounded more beautiful with every release and I think on tgcd is the greatest leap in beautiful vocals by him yet. and the guitars and bass are just a lot more interesting since the last 3 cds. There are songs that depress me more on the last 3 cds like dissolving bonds and my sweet nurse, etc. etc.AngelinaBlakkheim said:Ah, come on... what's SO great about VE and not the older ones?

p.s. your title says nihilist so I guess you don't believe in anything especially not which cd is best.

yeah!! everyone who says anything is better than viva emptiness is just plain wrong!!!! hate them all!!!!
LFDGD is the pinnacle of those mentioned. Viva Emptiness is close and has some even stronger material IMO, but the album as a whole isn't as strong as LFDGD imo, that album is love hate for me I love - fucking LOVE Evidence, Complicity, Omerta, City of Dreams, Criminals, Sleeper...absolutey don't care for the rest - it's hard for me not to skip the middle, even after hearing them dozens of times. Great beginning, great ending, lackluster middle IMO. Tonight's Decision is great and has some essential tunes on it, but much of the material just hasn't held up compared to the last three IMO. LFDGD also marks the direction of the last three albums as the prototype of sorts, I mean it's like the first step in making these last three in moving firmly into that space all three are, Tonight's Decision is closer to Discouraged Ones kinda at the crossroads between the older and newer sounds if split down the middle. I think TGCD is the best Kat release yet though, so that's where I'm coming from FYI.

In the sense that what comes after will be even better, yes.Morf1end said:
As for what best represents Katatonia's sound as a whole, no.

hhmm I fully agree with one of the previous posts, someone some person
LFDGD is overall better than viva, but some of the individual songs from the album are stronger than lfdgd.
But to settle everything Viva is a good start, a very good start

Damn right! Though it's almost impossible for me to put K albums in any order, I still think that BMD, DO, TD, LFDGD and TGCD is better than VE. So to me VE is only 6th best album of all time.AngelinaBlakkheim said:Ah, come on... what's SO great about VE and not the older ones?

And for your initial question, Scott89, my suggestion is to get them all at once. That way you don't have raffle which one to get
