When I saw them a few months ago they played like 3-4 songs from Extensions and the rest was a mix of older stuff.

I'm seeing them tonight and Monday - I'm really curious to see how the two setlists compare (opening for Opeth v their own tour)

Saw them tonight, and oddly enough they sounded pretty....not good. I was disappointed. wasn't loud enough at all. Jonas killed it though.



Opeth absolutely wrecked.

Yeah I should be clear, this wasn't a band issue, it was a mix issue. Just sounded ass. They were spot on but it was a weird setlist and a weird setup with chairs where there wouldn't normally be. It just sucked all the energy out of the room.



I'd absolutely want to see them again, especially as a headliner.

I saw them with Opeth and they honestly sounded amazing live but this was back in the DEK days. I'm sure they'd still sound great but their material since then has been on a pretty steady decline unfortunately.

I think they've maintained a constistently high level of quality since The Great Cold Distance, but I don't see these songs working for me in the live setting. Katatonia is my band to listen to in quiet, peace and solitude.

Does anybody know of there's any available upload of the Birds remix by Jonas on the Internet? Katatonia remixes are somewhat hit or miss but I'm curious.

I honestly can't imagine someone who likes NITND era onwards not liking this .. it's just more of that goodness.. A bit slower in places and a bit more cryptic yes but still incredibly good

Fair enough mate.. I'm glad I enjoy it .. What a band. I'm late to the party with Katatonia, but they will absolutely become one of all my all time favs as well

The same way I don't understand why Viva has a 3.9 avg.

I find this one more enjoyable than the last couple of albums, but they were still good enough. This one just kinda clicked better for me. Less poppy choruses, more proggy darkness.

It's definitely a step up from City Burials, but not even close to Sky Void of Stars imo.

Lacquer is so good man. I don't understand the hate CB gets.

Saw them live last year and will not come again, mediocre and disappointing show.
