they've ditched the progge of the last one it seems. get kind of a late-Anneke-period Gathering vibe from this
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 3 February 2020 15:19 (four years ago) link
New one's out today. Less progge! More goth! I like it.

Not gothy enough imo.

god it's weird to hear such a direct album from them at this point. i'm pretty sure i really like it, though in retrospect the fall of hearts was a peak of their discography
prob best for me not to settle on an opinion of a new katatonia record yet, i remember thinking dead end kings was sooo boring and i was so wrong

^ that's the only one i know tbh but i really love it. which of their other records are similar?
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Tuesday, 18 October 2022 20:06 (one year ago) link
(basically i still have days where i listen to 'teargas' twenty times in a row and i'm more than happy with that, but i guess i *could* diversify at some point?)
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Tuesday, 18 October 2022 20:10 (one year ago) link
last fair deal gone down has a run where every song is the best katatonia song ever from "teargas" through like "fear of speech"
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 18 October 2022 20:35 (one year ago) link
i would say logical next step is viva emptiness or the great cold distance
thanks brad, they will be my work soundtrack for tomorrow

personal fave from viva emptiness, "wealth"
i think it's maybe their most radio-forward album? parts will recall nu-metal but as if filtered through a fine mist. what i think is crazy about this record is the twin effect of 1) how proggy the riffs are 2) how catchy the songs are
great cold distance feels like they settle into a groove (and they sort of do up to and including fall of hearts)

i want to do a discog ranking but it's frustrating, i think you could argue for any katatonia record as their best excepting idk tonight's decision (i'm sure that's someone's favorite)

top three are three of the greatest albums ever released by anyone

ok i made that ranking before revisiting city burials which is much better than its position implies, lol

i would like to write at length about why katatonia is the greatest band of all time but i never really know what to say! like, yeah, sure, i just love it when the riffs curl up like a dying spider's legs but beyond that idk! something ineffable! when autumn or a particularly gloomy day comes around you want to put them on and stare at the gray world through your window with the impassiveness of a raven! their b-sides are also crazy good! and i really love this 2011 show where they play all of last fair deal gone down and then a sampling of tracks across their discog including "brave" and "i break"!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 24 October 2022 20:03 (one year ago) link
I was seeing that cover image as "Sky Full Of Stars" and thinking, yeah I can see Katatonia pull off a decent cover of that.
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 25 October 2022 13:35 (one year ago) link
i was grieving over running out of katatonia albums to listen to but i just found out about october tide's rain without end! yeah!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 28 October 2022 03:26 (one year ago) link
seriously if you're like me and have been looking for a secret follow-up or at least something else approximating the desolate decayed "alone in my castle thinking about the absence of god" atmosphere of dance of december souls, the october tide record is the closest i've come to it

god they're just always so good
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 28 October 2022 14:53 (one year ago) link
Need to get back on this band soon. I didn't like For Funerals To Come much and I think maybe that delayed me a bit, even though I know the album after that is a classic.

Have you heart The Fall Of Every Season? Both albums scratch the early-Katatonia itch very well. Saturnus “Paradise Belongs To You” as well.
