To me Dance of December Souls is the best. The reason for that is weird. Not the best because it just sounds the best, but because it has this special kind of sound and atmosphere on it that no band has ever been able to recreate, i looked for something that sounded and felt similar, many bands tried, many came close, but none were able to do it, it is the most unique album I've ever heard

I'm new to Katatonia. These are my first impressions (1998-12). [My intent is to come back here a year from now and see whether I'll redeem myself; can I trust my first impressions - Almost/Always/Never? a) Ranking the albums precociously: 1 - Last Fair Deal Gone Down (For the indescribable feel) 2 - Night Is The New Day (For the dark atmosphere) 3 - Discouraged Ones (For the (cure) melancholy) 4 - Viva Emptiness (For the awesome narcotic experience) 5 - Tonight's Decision (For the bleak honesty and the raw sadness) 6 - The Great Cold Distance (For the icy sense of rhythm) 7 - Dead End Kings (For the warmth/prettiness) b) Songs that have already given me goosebumps: Discouraged ones - Deadhouse; Cold Ways; Saw You Drown Tonight's Decision - For My Demons; Black Session Last Fair Deal Gone Down - Tonight's Music Viva Emptiness - Sleeper; Burn the Remembrance (the outro); almost every track has a part that is hipnotizing. The Great Cold Distance - (none really, maybe In the White (the way his voice dances around); I feel this is the least emotional album of Katatonia - but I understand why it's fans favorite) Night Is The New Day - The Longest Year; Onward Into Battle; The Promise of Deceit Dead End Kings - Parting (that little guitar part); The Racing Heart c) Songs that left me cold: DO - Relention; Distrust; TD - This Punishment; No Good Can Come Out Of This; Strained TLFDGD - I transpire; Sweet Nurse VE - Omerta TGCD - Follower; The Itch; (Unfurl) NITND - Nephilim; Inheritance DEK - Leech; Undo you; First Prayer d) Favorite album covers: 1 - Tonight's Decision 2 - Discouraged Ones 3 - Night Is The New Day 4 - The Fall of Hearts 5 - City Burials 6 - Viva Emptiness 7 - Brave Murder Day 8 - Dance of December Souls 9 - Last Fair Deal Gone Down 10 - The Great Cold Distance 11 - Dead End Kings e) First Katatonia song I listened to: Leathen * I purposely left out the first two, as well as the last two albums. If I get the chance I'll edit this and fill the gaps. 12/02/2021

1) Brave Murder Day 2) Tonight's Decision 3) Discouraged Ones

Nice choices. All of their albums are awesome. 1-Last Fair Deal Gone Down 2-Brave Murder Day 3-Viva Emptiness 4-Tonights Decision 5-The Great Cold Distance 6-Night is The New Day 7-Discouraged Ones 8-City Burials 9-The Fall of Hearts 10-Dead End Kings 11-Dance of the December Souls

Flawless discography

I'm totally stoked on your passion for this stuff. I love Katatonia too. Brave Murder Day is one of the best albums ever, my all time favorite Katatonia. Some of the The Great Cold Distance ep/singles with the remixes are a real treat too, imho.

Just stumbled upon your channel today!! Wonderful content dude. Katatonia is a band that I have just started to dive into :)

Love your passion man! Keep up these ranking videos :)

Love that you ranked Katatonia’s albums. There are very little of these videos on KZread. Love the channel.

I didnt listen to some of their newer material, but my ranking: 1. Discouraged ones 2. Brave Murder Day 3. Tonights Decision 4. Last fair deal gone down 5. Great Cold Distance 6. Viva Emptiness 7. Dead End Kings I REALLY love this band and Im still checking out their stuff.

Nice :)

Great list guy! Night is the new day and the last fair deal gone down are probably my favorites too. Lfdgd changed my life.

Thanks for the vid! Getting into Katatonia, trying to decide which album to listen to. Think i'm going to listen to city burials!

Great choices man, getting deeper into this bands discography and thusfar I agree with your top choices, Tonight's music and Sweet Nurse are one of the most beautiful songs ever. I haven't heard any of the 90's albums yet but every other album has been excellent, I've been saving Brave Murder Day for a rainy day because Katatonia with Mikael Åkerfeldt and his screams sounds like a dream come true!

Night Is The New Day is perfection.

Katatonia easily have the best album covers. Just so bleak and dark...

Just getting into this band and so excited to get in it. Never gave them a shot for some reason but I recently heard Takeover and was absolutely blown away

This band is amazing because my list is so different but I can’t fault your choices. Perfect band.

Very interesting ranking and analysis of their discography. Makes me realise i miss out on a lot! Only know The Great Cold Distance, The Emptiness and Knight Of Day album! 😮😮

1. Brave Murder Day 2. Dance Of December Souls 3. Night Is The New Day 4. Discouraged Ones 5. Viva Emptiness 6. Dead End Kings 7. The Fall Of Hearts 8. The Great Cold Distance 9. Last Fair Deal Gone Down 10. Tonight's Decision 11. City Burials

what kills me is I have no idea how I found this band. but as a drummer guitarist love their tone. So looking forward to you evaluation. also see if I missed anything.

purple one I never heard. 1 and 2 are what caught my ear. Good job. You talk like a musician.

ty as always

I just did a general Top 10 fave albums ever (and cars) on my channel, and The Great Cold Distance is on it (and numerically I’d probably put in 3-4ish). It always astonishes me when someone who loves the band puts TGCD low in ranking because it completely blows me away as a complete work. Simply incredible 😵‍💫🤩😍🤘🏻.I absolutely respect your opinion, however, and glad to run into another massive fan 🤙🏻 (Love Omertà as well!)

Hey I m late here but I m glad someone appreciates Last Fair Deal Gone Down, an amazing album 🤘 probably Katatonia at their darkest

1-Night is the New day! 2-Last... 3-Viva.... 4-Tonighs... 5 Dead.. 6 Great cold The newest stuff is unranked. All their Singles are awesome

Love Dance of December Souls and Brave Murder Day :D Need to check out a few more ;)

Hey Questy where does Sky Void of Stars fit in?

Personally from worst to best Dance of December Souls Brave Murder Day Discouraged ones City Burials Sky Void of Stars Tonight's decision Viva emptiness Night is the new day Fall of hearts Dead end kings Great Cold distance Last fair deal gone down

Awesome awesome band I just love Katatonia been listening to them more or less since the beginning!!! Have to agree what a difficult band to rank because everything they have done is just amazing!!! I was the opposite to you though, loved The Fall Of Hearts when it came out had a bit of a time getting into City Burials though!!! Just getting into it properly now and loving it for the amazing album that is!!! I just remember when each album came out from Brave and just playing every album to DEATH until the next one came out then just wear that album out!!! What is your opinion of the early EP's Like Jhva Elohim Meth, For The Funerals To Come, Sounds Of Decay and the Saw You Drown EP??? Did you get the split with Primordial??? Cheers!!! Pete.

Viva Emptiness is a concept album? I had no idea. Whats its story?

Tied between Discouraged Ones and Tonight's Decision for me. Two masterclass albums.

11. Dance of December Souls 10. Brave Murder Day (I'm not a fan of their death-doom era) 9. Tonight's Decision (I found it kinda boring) 8. Viva Emptiness (The drums lacked the punch in terms of catchiness) 7. discøuraged ønes 6. Last Fair Deal Gone Down 5. Night Is the New Day 4. City Burials 3. The Great Cold Distance (My early 2020 anthem) 2. The Fall of Hearts 1. Dead End Kings

From the most obsessed Katatonia fans. I just love all their albums equally. But one album clears all the rest. THE FALL OF HEARTS. Clearly, very clearly, Fall of Hearts is and will be the best work Katatonia has ever created. Musicianship in that album is not measurable

Do a paradise lost ranking

Dance of December Souls is honestly the best thing they ever did! I think part of it's magic is that it's the only album they did that sounds like it does. BMD began the road they would go down but December Souls is a one of a kind!

Mine so far: 1. The Fall of Hearts 2. The Great Cold Distance 3. Last Fair Deal Gone Down 4. Dead End Kings 5. Night is the New Day 6. Sky Void of Stars 7. Viva Emptiness

i'm always on the lookout for new (new to me at least) metal bands to listen to, what band is on your shirt?

Sorry, I am not a fan of heavy metal and growling, that's why my ranking "at the moment" is: 1. Old hearts fall 2. Lethean 3. I am nothing 4. Sweet nurse 5. City glaciers 6. Tonight's music 7. Teargas 8. Oh how i enjoy the light 9. Omerta 10. Burn the remembrance 11. Shifts 12. Hypnone 13. Right into bliss I could go on and on, they have so many good songs.

Rank all the Officium Triste albums :D

My ranking: 1- Discouraged Ones 2- Brave Murder Day 3- Viva Emptiness 3.5 - For Funerals to Come... and Sounds of Decay 4- Last Fair Deal Gone Down 5- Tonight's Decision 6 - Dance of December Souls 7- The Great Cold Distance 8- The Fall of Hearts 9- Dead End Kings 10 - City Burials 11- Night is the New Day

I saw them on their Dead End Kings tour in 2012, funny enough it’s the album that captivated me the least. Night is the New Day (2009) was and still Is Massive in sound & scope

Viva Emptiness is my fave

Tonight's decision is their best

Katatonia 🤘🤘🤘

You should rank Daylight Dies albums.

Brave is a great opening song for a fucking awesome album!

(No order:) S: City Burials, Fall of Hearts, Dead End Kings, NITND, GCD, Viva Emptiness, Brave Murder Day/Sounds of Decay A: LFDGD, Tonight’s Decision, Discouraged Ones, DoDS

Last Fair Deal Gone Night. The live version of LFDGD is #1.

Buy two copies of BRAVE MURDER DAY. It’s just that good.

Cant do it.. :)

I like all Katatonia except perhaps a couple of the newer albums that aren't super distinctive, but my top 3 are definitely Dance of December Souls, Brave Murder Day and Great Cold Distance. Which makes Questy's ranking a bit awkward for me lol. "Partially agreed" and let's leave it at that lol. Also... I remember how I got Night and a New Day when it came out. It bored me. I figured I needed a few listens... it still bored me. And I tried it again now to see if it improves... still bores me. Night is the New Day is the duller parts of Great Cold Distance, but the entire album is basically that. It's not bad, but it's really just background music compared to most of their other stuff.

@@Questformetal For me they had a slight decline per album after Last Fair Deal all the way down to Night is the New Day (still great album) and then they blew up again with Fall of Hearts and all the new prog influences. Then they just crashed all the way back down with City Burials which I think is just a Jonas Renske solo album. The instrumentation just took a massive nosedive IMO. Gonna go through most of your videos though. Love band album discography rankings. Good stuff!

1. Discouraged Ones 2. Dance of December Souls 3. The Great Cold Distance 4. The Last Fair Deal Gone Down 5. Brave Murder Day 6. Tonight’s Decision 7. The Fall of Hearts 8. Viva Emptiness 9.

you're nuts lol, The Great Cold Distance is number one for me, NITND=2, Fall of Hearts=3

Your top choice was second best. Viva Emptiness was the best.

Fall of Hearts is so slow.. it just drags on and on. The good songs are really good but too far in between

Dance of December Souls last?!?! Poser alert ⚠️ unsubbed.😅
