Above are some of the best lyrics Jonas has conjured. This album blew me away at the time I first heard it in '99 as great example of the Cure gone metal... it has since been eclipsed by the albums after it but is as essential as anything Katatonia has done from Brave Murder Day onwards. Really more of 4.5/5 but then again most their albums are. Also has Dan Swano on drums (Nightingale, Edge of Sanity, producer of Opeth's Morningrise and Orchid).

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't get the wrong idea..., March 8, 2005

I wanted to review this album because I don't want the only review to be a bad one. This is a very good album, it was my first katatonia album and I like it a lot. I don't know if it's true that this is nothing new or original, but that doesn't really matter. Considering that many of the people listening to katatonia are going to be metal fans, this is a lot different from what you will generally hear in metal. Also compared to Katatonia's early work this is quite different. It's possible that there are other bands out there that have this sound but do it better (I presume the other reviewer thinks so) but I don't know these bands so I can't say.

As for this album, it is very dark and beautiful sounding with a lot of memorable songs. Out of all of Katatonia's releases in this style (discouraged ones, tonight's decision, last fair deal gone down, viva emptiness) TD is probably the most laid back. They are all different and good. I would probably start with viva emptiness, then this, then LFDGD. It is hard to find discouraged ones but it doesn't really matter when you get that. This is a worthy addition to any fans collection, and not a bad place to start if you're new to katatonia. Unless, of course, you're looking to hear their old death metal stuff.

I picked this album up about a year ago and loved it immediately. It is well done and has a great atmospheric sound throughout the entire cd. It has a gloomy, moody sound to it, which is great for an album because that is what any good album should do, create a mood while listening to it. I have since bought viva emptiness, and last fair deal gone down. I consider all the albums excellent and perfectly done. I still love this album.
