No parts of this really strike me as unoriginal




the beginning part of Odal is a pretty clear ripoff of a section of Katatonia's song Endtime lmao

I never said unoriginal anyway. Idk if anyone else did. I just think parts are boring and maybe occasionally forced.

I was quoting Mongi. But yeah, I agree, especially vocally.

they pretty clearly got the idea for Odal from that song anyway. I love both songs of course, Odal's probably my favourite on here

Influenced by? Sure. Almost certainly. Clear ripoff? No.

Okay well that was just a poor choice of words on my part. Sorry.



But to me it sounds like they heard that passage and said "wow, that's cool, let's expand that into a full song." It probably wasn't conscious but who knows.



All I'm saying is that the album isn't completely original, and it wears its influences on its sleeve pretty often.

The band has said several times they were influenced quite a bit by early Katatonia which I think is very well reflected in this and Pale Folklore.

Yeah seriously Pale Folklore does sound like it was influenced heavily by Katatonia.
