I still like it better than Leaders thats for sure. I appreciate the contrast between the heavy, and vulnerable sides. Something that Leaders lacked.

stefan86 · September 12th, 2009, 06:04 PM

I still despise Leaders. Such an emotionless, undriven song. One of three-four songs I dislike in the entire Katatonia disco.

BlueSky · September 12th, 2009, 06:10 PM

I don't get a lot out of TGCD in general. They wanted to make a cold an sterile album, and they succeeded. I'm just glad they rectified that with the B-sides.

Well, I suppose you'll like this new song then, because it's packed with emotion and quite driven.

i aint play this · September 12th, 2009, 06:15 PM

Leaders is genius imo. Perfect opener for TGCD, it has a feeling of paranoia and suspense that I love, the echoing melodies on that song just rule.

Btw Forsaker keeps getting better...

TGCD has grown a lot for me over the years really, I love the most the tracks. Guitarwise it can be a bit monotone but the vocal stuff and feeling of it is genius

I agree, Leaders is amazing.

stefan86 · September 12th, 2009, 06:19 PM

I don't see the appeal. It just sort of twangs along with an almost tough guy-ish vibe. No interesting guitarwork and no vocal hooks either by Katatonia standards.

fauchendeswesen · September 12th, 2009, 06:22 PM

listened to the new song about 20 times now.. it´s still getting better and better.. fucking great song!!!

stefan86 · September 12th, 2009, 06:23 PM

I'm getting it now. Nervous

It didn't click with me the first time and after listening through it a few more times it is a fucking great song, really good headbanger!!

Lisra · September 12th, 2009, 06:25 PM

I like it. Feels great after the years without new material. I wonder how some of the sounds were achieved, if thats a sample, a keyboard or an insanely modified guitar.. whatever..

And Jonas outshines himself.

Im happy.

I don't see anything wrong with Leaders, it's not my favorite song and not even my favorite off The Great Cold Distance (that spot is reserved for Journey Through Pressure, In The White, and Follower), but it's still not a bad song. I think the band produced and wrote the song exactly how they wanted it, and so therefor it serves it's purpose. Some people may "get" that purpose more than others, and that is entirely dependent upon personal circumstances in life.

Dorian77 · September 12th, 2009, 06:30 PM

it is like masturbaton after all this time.. holy shit that rocks.. can't type 'cause I am tremble a little... fucking great.. Can't wait until November to get the CD

Thanx for this Info!

this song and the new porcupine tree'll save my next week

stefan86 · September 12th, 2009, 06:32 PM

Intro riff had me almost turn it off. First verse sounds great

the mourner13 · September 12th, 2009, 06:33 PM

I have to say that it really sounds better after my 10th ot 11th time.But still not what I expected from Katatonia standards...

stefan86 · September 12th, 2009, 06:33 PM

Vocal melodies and clean guitar parts are great. Tuff guy groove riffs = no.

Lisra · September 12th, 2009, 06:38 PM

Well. The riffing is groovy, sure, but way removed from, say, roots bloody roots.

BlueSky · September 12th, 2009, 06:39 PM

And here we go ...

stefan86 · September 12th, 2009, 06:40 PM

I prefer drive to groove. The clean guitar parts are absolutely marvelous though.

BlueSky · September 12th, 2009, 06:40 PM

True to form.

stefan86 · September 12th, 2009, 06:41 PM

I love you too <3

Lisra · September 12th, 2009, 06:42 PM

Well, never mind.

like it
