Tonight's Decision through Viva Emptiness is weak. Great Cold Distance had its moments and the last two have some standout tracks.



Brave Murder Day and Sounds of Decay have a special place in my heart.

"Tonight's Decision through Viva Emptiness is weak"

I like LFDGD but I still feel like they were still refining the sound that they nailed on Viva.

Viva is where they dropped some of their atmosphere for riffs.

I always liked The atmosphere of the band. Viva was so dull without it.

I agree with you on Dead End Kings being their masterpiece. NiTND suffered from an odd track order. Great review I will check this.

DEK was kinda meh. Probably won't even bother with this. That being said, this is an excellent review.

I agree with the sound off that says this musical direction reveals that a few of these tracks are boring without heavy instrumentation.

Well they were written to feature heavy instruments so a lot of parts feel weak without.

Maybe it's worse because I know the original songs so well and can hear the climactic heavy part coming and then when it doesn't happen it just feels a little dull.

Best thing about this record is that you can hear the subtleties and fine details more.

makes me wonder why they even made this because even with the changes in instrumentation the atmospheres are pretty much the same as the album they came from

"man, night is the new day is like a way, way, WAY better version of dead end kings"



gotta disagree with that. night is the new day has some tracks that are really really good, but it has too many weak tracks and its flow is awful.

Gyromania your are a gentlemen and a scholar (read: NITND is the best Katatonia album, period).
