| I don't believe the superb production hinders ANYTHING from coming through to the listener. It does just the opposite for me. This is such an emotional and touching album - very dark and very poetic. "In the White" and "Follower" and "Journey Through Pressure" send shivers down my spine, much like "Evidence" and "Wealth" and "Inside the City of Glass" did on their previous album. Katatonia and Virgin Black = the masters of depressing rock. |

|
| I've heard most of their albums and this is my favorite. I think this album could have been better if they took out the 2 or 3 not-so-good tracks though. |
|
|
|
| This is one of their best for sure, even if LFDGD and Viva Emptiness top it. |
|
|
|
| This is the really good follower of previous album. Nothing has been discovered, but imho some addition brought us anther enjoyable piece of music. Anyway, it's time to show another face, as fast as possible. |
|
|
|
| This album its in my toplist for katatonia's works. the exact word is "emotional" on this one. Fragile, melancholic, real, abysmal. |
|
|
|
| Katatonia goes better every year. Nice to see them evolving but also keeping their usual sound they developed over the last years. Very good album. |
|
|
|
| Amazing album, there is so much emotion and passion conatined within the vocals. Sheer brilliance. |
|
|
|
| My second favorite Katatonia album. The production is really amazing. It isn't as good as "Viva Emptiness" but they kept their great quality. |

| Katatonia can do no wrong. If you liked LFDGD and Viva Emptiness, you'll like this too. This is truly an unbelivable collection of songs. |
|
|
|
| Actually, sorry, but this deserves more than 8.5 |

| It's been ages since I heard something so pure and peaceful. This is one of my all time favourite. Katatonia can be replaced by only Katatonia but noone else. |

Katatonia really rules ...another excellent album from this band. And what I really like is My Twin video...it´s great. Masters of their style.  ..one of their best albums I think... |
|

The production is really amazing and that is why it seems their best album to many people (including me in the first months). Some songs are simply great (3 or 4 songs, and July on top of all).
But about songwriting this is the weakest album in a very long long time  ...maybe we should search before brave murder day to find such an average release by Katatonia.
Anyway it's better than most gothic related releases out there  |

Totally agree, just the same I was going to say.
My top track is Soil's Song, then July...
I'll give it a 7 as much. |

|
|
| I just got this album and even with the first time listening to it I really like it. Ill give it a 9 (by my standards) |
|
|
|
| I like this one a lot, even being so different than their previous albums, this one is more alternative and less dark, but it definitely has very good songs i love "Journey Through Pressure" "My Twin" and "Consternation" |

Average and overrated. It's too ''heavy'' for my taste, at least compared to their best works. And the super-clean production kinda kills the melancholic atmosphere.
Oh... and what is worse: stop-paced riffs! Killing every possible chance of feeling something from the music.
Now I wonder if ''average'' is too much of a compliment.
Overall.. I feel nothing listen to this album, except for a couple of tracks, its just shallow music. Better stick to their three previous albuns. |

|
| I love this album very good doom metal |
|
|
|
| This is by far the smoothest sounding Katatonia album. Quite heavy at times, but always a very comfortable heavy. Very nice album. One of my favorites for sure. |

The songs on themselves are very good. SO all perfect as singles, but as a whole I find the new one boring, but not as boring as The Great Cold Distance though. TGCD is their worst for me and this one is a bit better but nowhere near as good as the rest of their stuff. |

So I can make the conclusion that if I liked TGCD then I'm gonna like the new one?
Good enough for me I guess  |

It seems that Marcel only enjoys albums with songs connected to each other i.e. PoG's new one ,Esoteric's latest .......
for me I guess I would enjoy an album like the mentioned but if the songs as singles are good it wouldn't bother me ,infact I enjoyed TGCD |

Actually usually I am not a fan of albums where the songs are connected. For example I absolutely love the new candlemass or grieving age, there the songs aren't connected.
The weird thing is that although all the songs on the new Katatonia are all good they are way too similar and therefore the album gets boring for me. With a band such as Katatonia I want loads of variation, like on Viva Emptiness. |

the kind of variation on Viva Empitness is smething truely refreshing and remarkable
yet I got the impression that you only like albums like the mentioned
I was wrong  |

Yeap, exactly. Katatonia died for me after "Tonight's Decision". Their early stuff beats the shit out of 95% of the Doom Metal bands, but this new emo/goth (not litteraly) sound is just.... Shallow and pointless. |
