Katatonia - Tonight's Decision (1999)

 

The fourth album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a trio with a lineup of bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

One guest, Dan Swano, contributed with drums throughout this album.

The band changed from being a doom & death metal band on the previous album Discouraged Ones (1998) to a more grunge and alternative rock on that album. A big break with their first EP and their first two albums indeed.

Tonight's Decision is clocking in at just short of one hour and the band continues down the alternative rock and grunge path.

There are only clean vocals here. The music is also clean. All the death and doom metal influences have been done away with on this album. 

The music is still hard and heavy. 

The music is pretty good throughout. There are some stuff here who falls well short. Nevertheless, this is a a pretty good album. I am yet to be won over by this band's conversion.
