This is my least favourite studio album by KATATONIA although I still haven't heard their debut. For me it's a definite step down from the previous album "Discouraged Ones" where they had changed their style. This is in the same vein but more commercial sounding. Mind you the cover art from Travis Smith is outstanding. It starts off really well with "For My Demons" a top three for me. Great sound when it kicks in and I like the contrasts. The next two tracks are too catchy for me. "Right Into The Bliss" is another top three while honourable mentions go to "Strained" and "A Darknesss Coming", both are excellent. "Black Session" is my final top three. I was reminded of THE CURE at times mainly because of Jonas' vocals on a couple of songs. A good album but this is one record I can take or leave.

It's been fun re-visiting these albums and reviewing them in chronological order. A step down for my tastes from Discouraged Ones but maybe like you, time will make me appreciate this more down the road.

Interesting you feel this way about "Tonight´s Decision" as it´s exactly the same way I´ve felt about it for years. Recently I´ve begun to appreciate it more though.
