What and album...a classic!!!
by Metal Lover Nowhere
Reviewed on June 14th, 2004
With this release Katatonia went away from their Doomy roots and released a more simple album(really simple) but retaining the sadness and bleakness they had in the past....the music is simple with the lead guitar ala Paradise Lost taking the main sound....and i have to say that it works perfectly....the guitar sound breads lethargic harmonies and sometimes leave a hypnotizing mark on the listener....
even though the sound in this simple is weak(the production could be better) i think it was strategically made to sound this way...the sound helps the atmosphere to get more bleak and more sad...the vocals are all death metal and are done by the singer from Opeth..this guy makes the best death metal vocals for sure...only one track break this rule with clean vocals done by Jonas Renske...a masterpiece to be listened in rainy autumn days...
1.Brave-this track is a good opening track cause bassicly shows all the album has to say...the guitar work is surely impressing..10/10
2.Murder-a shorter track with a straight forward riff that rocks...again the guitar work is impressing and the vocals are cool...10/10
3.Day-this is something that will surprize you...cause it is a really sad song sung with clean vocals..the lyrics are outstanding...it has a gothic feel...but works soo nice..9/10
4.Rainroom-this track sounds more like the first two...but breeds more despair with it?s faster riffs 9/10
5.12-this is a more doomy track...but is gets better and better at the end....even though is my least favourite on this album...works nice..7/10
6.Endtime-this track has one of the most beautiful guitar work i have ever heard...a really cool track,again more doomy..the intro is sooo sad and beautiful.... 10/10finally this album is an elegant way to express emotional decay......it?s a cult album and a classic among the european fans ....of course who love sad music...
my advice is to buy it...but you could listen to it first.....
