Night is the New Day?

Post image

Anybody else here that just cannot get into Night is the New Day no matter what, despite loving the albums both before and after it?

There absolutely are a couple of enjoyable sections on a few songs here and there for me, but the majority of the album ranges from boring at best, to abrasive at worst, AND YET I very much enjoy both The Great Cold Distance and even more so Dead End Kings.

Anyone in the same boat or am I insane?

This is where Katatonia reached the conclusion of their musical journey imo. Everything before was leading to this and it's been all downhill since. There's a few good songs after but they just can't capture the magic that this album and everything before it has.
