Saw them live the other night, which I think gave me a better sense of the album's strengths and weaknesses. Here's my Sound Off:
Yet another Katatonia album that subscribes to the following formula for just about every song: heavy riff intro, instruments lay back replaced by rather ambient atmospheric beats plus crooning and sad vocals for the verse, heavy riff returns for chorus. Repeat twice, throw in a bridge in the middle, and for one or two chosen songs, include a guitar solo. Don't get me wrong, they are the masters of this formula within their genre. Compared to their last three albums, this one sounds more emotional, more intimate, more akin to chamber music. This is good. On the other hand, the heavy parts are not as memorable or crushing (seeing them play this live made this abundantly clear--there is no "Forsaker" or "Leaders" on this album), and they sound a bit derivative of their previous albums. Plus, the variation between songs (except in emotional coloring) is nowhere near as pronounced as on Last Fair Deal Gone Down or Viva Emptiness. A solid album from a truly excellent band, but rating this against Katatonia's eight other full-lengths, I would place this latest effort somewhere in the middle.

Haven't really been able to get into this band for some reason. Enjoyed this album more than their others though. Dead Letters is a standout track for me.

dead letters is lame, when they did the whole keyboard section it reminded me of some symphonic power metal band and i was like fuck that

Man it's been like 3 weeks or smt, and I still don't know if I like this or not. One thing is for sure, one must be in a really special mood to enjoy this.

I tend to enjoy this the most when I feel sad, or when I want to sleep. Sleeping to Death Metal worked when I was younger, but this just fits the mood perfectly.

Great album, if not a little "same old thing". The songs don't have the same life or hunger as The Great Cold Distance. But it crushes Night is the New Day. imho.
Still, it's prolly one of the top 5 releases so far this year for me.
