I was excited when I read the headline. Then I heard the song and meh.

Their softer songs have always been what pulls me back to them tbh. Hoping for more like this throughout the album.

Wasn't sure about it at first, but liked it more and more as the song continued to play. Made me want to listen to it again.

I like it too. Not what I expected but it's not entirely surprising that they've approached the first single in this style. It's no secret that that Katatonia have been fluttering around this vibe the better part of a decade now.
Speaking of which, I remember when TGCD came out, there were quite a few people moaning about what the band was putting out then. Now, I'm not saying this is by any means comparable, but I'm sure the release will be an enjoyable one.
The secret to not being disappointed is to have not expectations to begin with .
Let's see

I hope the rest of the album is in this vein honestly.

Disappointed by the single track. I didn't ever expect Katatonia to follow the easy way... It was too easy to slip and I was proud of them that they avoided it for so many years. Anders where are you, don't leave us!

I liked the song, it reminds me of the urban dub version (whatever that means, i don't know) of My Twin (I tried to post a video and something did not work, I don't have the patience right now to fix it).

The song is really mellow and I'm quite certain it doesn't reflect the material of the album. This is one of those songs in which context plays a key role.

Amazing. I honestly couldn't care less if they released an entire album like this - it's not like there's some shortage of heavy bands and we're all depending on Katatonia to give us heaviness...

Wouldn't the "easy way" be releasing something heavy and dark (unoriginal) to appease all of the metal fans who are too "TrVe" to listen to music that doesn't have blast beats and chugging guitar?

Having listened to Katatonia for years, I personally like the musical path they're taking. The new song is great!! I no longer expect anything heavy from Katatonia. As someone else said, there's plenty of heavy bands to fill that void.

I don't get it. But I like heaviness and guitar riffs. How dare me on a metal site.

I quite like this new song.
i hope if this is just one soft song amids death-doom songs i will love this album, if the whole album is without drums and guita/death-doom elements i will dislike it for sure.

So they don't listen to this not because they don't like it, but because they don't allow themselves to? Now I think I'm crazy, because I almost thought people had different tastes.

I'm simply saying that the "easy way" for Katatonia to please fans would certainly be to create something very heavy and doomy sounding. Accusing them of taking the "easy way" by making something controversial for them is a contradictory statement.

I think the guy was just saying they're selling out, but I wasn't talking about that. I was contesting you basically saying that if someone doesn't like this, it's because they're purists and can't listen to anything but metal and not because the song doesn't suit their tastes. But no offense intended, I was just being sarcastic.

I don't mean it as an insult as I like the song quite a bit, but Lacquer would not feel out of place in Eurovision and would fit right in.
