#8 - Katatonia - Night is the New Day
This was a year of progressive music with lots of bands breaking the rules of traditional song structure. Katatonia released this album toward the end of the year and completely ruined the progressive theme. Night is the New Day is the accessible album of the year. Katatonia's style has evolved over the years into something that should be very attractive to the masses. Gone are the days of harsh vocals and 8 minutes tracks. This collection of songs is emotionally charged and memorable. Each track sounds like it could be the single of the album and i thought that on the first listen and each subsequent listen. The only track that really stands out as different from the rest is the final track, and only because of the guest vocalist, which was a bold move for the closer but ultimately satisfying. I remain hopeful for the day Katatonia is played on the radio, but i'm certainly not holding my breath...
