more katatonia radio = more katatonia money = more katatonia possibilities...
more katatonia radio = more katatonia money = touring to countries that they haven't been to yet. Like Australia.

Jesus Christ. Don't want to go personal, but your two messages on this thread make you seem such a damn retard it's unbelievable... TGCD is a close to mainstream album? And success is likely to hurts a band?

In my opinion TGCD is the furthest from a mainstream album that the band has done since something like... ...BMD. Just listen to Teargas for example. Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, chorus. It doesn't get any closer to a standard pop-tune then that. TGCD has got so much darker tones and extreme rhytmical stuff to it, that I would think it would be harder for a mainstream listener to get into it. And still they are making it with this album. What the hell is there to complain about?
 
Also, is Katatonia the only metal band to reach the mainstream charts without compromising their sound/selling out? Of course, Finland shouldn't count, we had Reverend Bizarre's 20-minute single Slave of Satan on #2 last summer, but I don't think it was played on the radio :lol:

Most other metal bands that have gotten a lot of mainstream attention have changed their style to a definitely more commercial sound, but I don't hear that in Katatonia at all, TGCD being very polished and radio-friendly feels more like natural progression.

I agree with you. The only thing in this album that is NEAR (yet FAR :lol: ) to mainstream are the catchy chorus, like in "My twin". But, as Argyle said, it's far from mainstream.

Cheers.

:bah: Even if Katatonia has reached to the list, I don't think that it is mainstream in any way. ;<
And even if TGCD is "radiofriendly" it doesn't mean that everyone finds
something good from it.
Yhyy, I'm trendy 'cos I listen Katatonia.:cry:
