MementoMori: Top 5 Records: Katatonia

JDubb 08.09.20	2 is my 1
MementoMori 08.09.20	@JDubb: I can definitely see that, but I'd see MK's vocal performance on BMD gives it a slight edge (alongside the more gritty production).
porcupinetheater 08.10.20	Could literally throw 5 darts at their discography and you'd have an acceptable list tbh Glad to not see VE though
iambandersnatch 08.10.20	I really don't understand why many people like BMD more than others. Their old stuff isn't bad but it's way less interesting than their middle and new stuff, and it's much more similar to others in the genre. As time went on they developed into having their own style/sound. I'd take any of their last 5 albums over BMD.
porcupinetheater 08.10.20	BMD isn't my favorite but if your comment on the early stuff is saying that Dance of December Souls sounds like other death doom shit coming out at the time, whew
MementoMori 08.10.20	@iambandersnatch: I think the vocal performance, with the help of MA is vastly superior, the production is less flat and the record is slightly more gritty, old-school and heavy. Latter work is more polished and contrived in a way that, though it adds a sophisticated quality to their sound, also seems to lack some the magic of BMD.
Keyblade 08.10.20	1 used to be my 1 but I'd say DoDS is my favorite these days
