4.5 superb | Xenorazr | February 5th 17 | Dark rock with traces of metal; subtle electronic elements to build atmosphere; songs that feel comprehensive without overstaying their welcome; vague yet intriguing lyrics; and it's just a pleasure to come back and listen to from start to finish.

4.5 superb | MaidenUFO | November 10th 12 | After the great cold distance, that persnally wasn't so special album, Katatonia returned to masterpieces and this album is excellent with songs like "The longest year" and "Idle blood" be among the best Katatonia songs ever!

5.0 classic | Dritero | May 23rd 12 | what is this 50 characters nonsense? I clicked on the wrong rating category.

4.5 superb | AnvilJ | September 8th 10 | I've added a 0.5. After listening to this after a hiatus, and listening to the other records, this one does shine through, even after my initial over-listening bout of mental inertia. It's very consistent and well balanced.

5.0 classic | 45nothings | March 29th 10 | The absolute best record of 2009. The perfect amount of progresive, melodic, depressive, heavy, and atmospheric elements all combined. With every listen this becomes better and better.

0.0 | OceanOfWisdom | March 24th 10 | Had to bump this up a half a point....Finally managed to listen all the way through to the last half of the album....This album does NOT get boring like I was afraid it may do. Kudos Katatonia, you have possibly topped "The Great Cold Distance".... this is still in deliberation for me though...lol

4.5 superb | Crimson Death | March 7th 10 | Highly underrated album, I stopped listening to it for about 8 months after being addicted to it for 3 months. Now I am listening to it again, it feels nostalgic and has grown a new lasting appeal. Classic in my mind. A few cliches here and there, but they're minor.

4.0 excellent | danielclewis | November 2nd 09 | Definitely a step up from Great Cold Distance. Although they still have a touch of those metalcore riffs in there, it is forgivable in respect to the rest of the album. Night Is The New Day sounds like Great Cold Distance, if Steven Wilson had produced it. I was not expecting much from this album and have been really surprised at how it's been growing on me.

4.5 superb | FeralMemories | October 30th 09 | Loving The Prog elements. Overall a very good album, it was my first listen to these guys, so maybe I should go back and check out their earlier stuff.

4.0 excellent | Photon | October 29th 09 | the most complete Katatonia album up to date ..Slight issues with Jonas's vocal delvery but overall a very solid effort

3.5 great | BallsToTheWall | October 25th 09 | At first Night Is The New Day came off as a pretty cool album. Their increased usage of keyboards, string instruments, and new found heaviness should have proven to be a effective formula. Unfortunately this is not the case. Extremely bland songwriting dooms this album from the get go, credited to a lack of cohesion between the new musical ideas, Katatonia's dark rock/ gothic metal base and Jonas Renske's most uninspired vocal performance to date. Seriously the biggest dissapointment of 2009 for me. This could have been so much better, but alas falls right on it's face.

3.0 good | Ryikofurix | October 31st 09 | I am a huge Katatonia fan, so I've been looking out for this like forever. But with NITND they haven't yet managed to blow me away like they did with Viva Emptiness or The Great Cold Distance. Some songs sound too "whiney" to me. And the only real heavy song on it is "Forsaker" in my eyes. But I heard from a lot of people that this is a grower. So I'll give an update on my final rating. But for now a painful 3.0
