Top 10 Best Katatonia Albums

I agree with CosmicSea, but dude, Serein will grow on you. The other two aren't exactly filler, but yes, they make it long and slow it down a bit. The Fall of Hearts is their progressive child. And it's beautiful. I haven't listened to City Burials yet, but I can't wait.

Decima and Pale Flag are amazing. Not sure what these guys are on about. Awesome album!

In my opinion, their greatest album to date. Just amazing!

Thank you, Katatonia, for this, Dance of December Souls, and For Funerals to Come. Everything post-Sounds of Decay EP was heaps of unimaginative garbage. Their best works are rotting so far down the list. Wow!

P.S. Any creature out there looking for stuff similar sounding to (not a carbon copy of) old-school Opeth, then look no further than the aforementioned albums, especially Brave Murder Day. Agalloch sounds nothing like Opeth, and neither does Ulver. Blockheaded creatures suffering from malfunctioning brains and hearing impairment would say otherwise.

This is their best! It's not unique, nor is it the most complex, but sometimes I don't care about that stuff. In my opinion, you can't get more Katatonia than this. This is the album that defines them. When I just want to hear Katatonia, this is the album I put on.

During the corona pandemic, this album really helped keep me going. In a nutshell, this is a really beautiful, special album that I think will be an all-time favorite in a few years.

This one is really underrated. I love how there are more prog elements, combined with the typical doom metal elements. It's not as accessible as Katatonia's other works, but after you spend some time with it, you will love it!

This album has a special connection to me. I can relate to the lyrics on this album more than other Katatonia works. Also, being a fan of the proggier stuff, this makes Dead End Kings one of my favorites. Really underrated.

In my opinion, this is the sweet spot between Katatonia's early death-doom days and later soft goth rock sound. The melodies really pop out, the songs are well-defined, and the lyrics are more explicit in meaning and relatable.

Great album. Most representative of their whole career. However, Dance of December Souls is still better.

Having technical ability and adding complexities in your music is awesome, but it's nothing compared to delivering pure emotion, which is much harder and rarer to accomplish. This is their best album.
