Three years after the great, but surprising, "Viva Emptiness", Katatonia is back with their 7th releases the "The Great Cold Distance". Always with this really particular sound, but with some new sonority too, "The Great Cold Distance" will probably be a real success. Will it be right? Do they really deserve success with this new album? I think so, because no doubt that Katatonia did something nice, one more time; with this new album? Read more ›› |

Why is it that I can't find the Special Edition with the songs "Code Against The Code" and "Unfurl" ?

Posts: 18612 Written by musicalkaratekid on 19.11.2011 at 23:09 It's a good album but there's some filler and the production doesn't really suits that well. Sounds way too cold and clinical... Not Katatonia-like. Would easily take LFDGD and VE over this one. But it's at least better than the latest one and the one before.  Songs like Leaders, Deliberation and In The White are pretty awesome but unfortunately there are songs like Soil's Song, Increase or Consternation which are quite a snore fest at some points.

Posts: 1506 Written by X-Ray Rod on 26.08.2012 at 18:00 I remember writing this when 'The great cold Distance' was basically the only album I ever heard from katatonia. Now having heard 'all katatonia albums I feel as if this album is slightly overhyped. I'll listen to it some time soon to change my rating, because listening to the songs with a little more focus it seems that they don't match up to the likes of 'Brave Murder Day' or 'Viva Emptiness'. I can't think of a single shit katatonia album though...

Amazing album, definitely one of the best albums they have released in the 2000s. \m/

Many many fillers on this album. at least the first 5 songs are great...

When you include the bonus tracks, including one of their greatest songs 'Unfurl', this is an untouchable masterpiece.

Album starts with two pretty great songs which are my favorites. Other than that, I found it hard to really get into it. Quite many mediocre songs in my opinion. Still it's enjoyable album.

Nah, this album is straight bangers from start to finish. The tame production detracts from some of the songs but experiencing them live gives a proper idea of how heavy some of the riffs here truly are. Soil's Song is for me the standout track alongside Rusted, but I've listened to this album so many times that I had different phases where each track was my favorite.

20 year anniversary of this next year. Madness. The masterpiece era of Katatonia encompasses this, Viva Emptiness and Night Is The New Day - the absolute gold standard for this kind of music. Too many good songs here but for me, Soil's Song, Increase, In The White and July are perfect.
