Topic: Discouraged Ones

  Katatonia - Satan Stole My Teddybear
As the precursor to the full length Discouraged Ones that showcased the "new" Katatonia style, Saw You Drown was a highly effective EP that succienctly summarized the statement the band was attempting to make.
Discouraged Ones acts as the second half of a blueprint that has become Katatonia's core sound (Brave Murder Day acts as the first half) and set this band in motion to hopefully become one of the premier acts in the music world, period.
When I first bought Discouraged Ones, my major complaint was that Katatonia's new direction didn't seem to have a compass and map out, causing a whole lot of wandering on the album.

 Doom-metal.com: Reviews - Katatonia
The first two tracks 'Saw you Drown' and 'Nerve' can also be found on the 'Discouraged Ones' album and the forth track 'Scarlet Heavens' was previously released on another limited EP.
It is a slow, numb and catatonic sounding track that would have fitted on 'Discouraged Ones' with ease.
Already having left their more metal sound behind on 'Discouraged Ones' they continue the way one would expect them too.

 Discouraged? Don't Give Up!
But God gives his promise: "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." When we are in that discouraged state it is often difficult to imagine that we can have strength again, but that is what he promises us.
God says to the tired and weary, to the discouraged ones who doubt that God even notices their difficult situation, let alone cares enough to help them (Isaiah 40:27) - you will fly like an eagle.
It is given to the weary and to the discouraged (Isaiah 40:29).

 Rough Edge: Katatonia CD Reviews
I listened to "Discouraged Ones" for the first time right after I heard Circle Of Dead Children's chaotically brutal "The Genocide Machine." As such, Katatonia's brand of melancholy seemed particularly more morose than I could have ever expected.
To the casual listener "Discouraged Ones" is a very bitter pill to swallow.
The listener should immerse themselves and wallow in the somber proceedings - not a task to be taken lightly.

I’ve been a big fan of Katatonia ever since their realease “Discouraged Ones", which was, and is, a fantastic record.
Although their output has been slightly disappointing of late, I had high hopes that this record would be at least as good as the last one.
With Black Murder Day, they peeled away from this limited genre a little, and their next release, Discouraged Ones, left them with a decent singer, some great minor harmonic tunes, and some fantastic lyrics (Deadhouse: “headlights fuck the city").

 Katatonia Interview from Chaotic Critiques Fanzine
Katatonia's most recent album, Last Fair Deal Gone Down (Peaceville / Snapper), continues to explore the sound that was introduced on Discouraged Ones (1998) and refined on Tonight's Decision (1999), while further plunging into the existential crisis represented in its music.
Some people said that Tonight's Decision was too [similar] to Discouraged Ones, whereas my opinion was that Tonight's Decision had better songs than Discouraged Ones had.
With Discouraged Ones, it was a total rebirth for the band, and it definitely set the whole form.

Adequately capturing the profound impact that 'Discouraged Ones' made on me is flawed with pitfalls.
That was just toe-in-the-water time, whereas 'Discouraged Ones' was a full-on backlip from the top board.
Unnervingly for some, the cocktail mixture of despondency and desolation resonated a little to close to home, and made 'Discouraged Ones' one of the the most deeply mind-fucking releases of recent times.

 Encyclopaedia Metallum - Reviews for Katatonia (Swe) - Tonight's Decision
They have continued with a tight two guitar distorted attack which gives Katatonia an incredible wall of sound for this release as they did on Discouraged Ones which is the basis for their sound on this album as well.
One of the things that impresses me most is that they have managed to make a fresh new spin on this album which could be considered similar to their previous release Discouraged Ones at times (see intro of Right Into The Bliss).
Having left their more metal sound behind on Discouraged Ones, Katatonia continue as expected, releasing another deeply emotional album of the highest quality.

While Discouraged Ones established a niche for the group in the U.S. and marked a turn from the dark metallic mayhem of...
Whether or not this album's title refers to bluesman Robert Johnson's classic song of the same name, Katatonia is still singing the blues in their own way here, even if their style has nothing else to do with the blues as a genre.
Tonight's Decision continues in the song-oriented direction of 1998's Discouraged Ones, but with an even greater emphasis on verse-chorus-verse songwriting.

 Katatonia : Discouraged Ones - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
On Discouraged Ones, Katatonia remains as depressive as ever, while at the time moving even further away from its earlier sound than it did on the previous release, Brave Murder Day.
Cleanly sung vocals (at times reminiscent of the Cure's Robert Smith) have replaced the agonizing growls of Dance of December Souls, while the songs themselves -- averaging about four minutes apiece -- are much more compact than their previous extended epics.
Through its subtle melodies, minimal rhythms, and strongly melancholy moods, Discouraged Ones emerges as either a masterpiece, or else something very close.

 New Reviews
‘Discouraged ones’ is a more rockish/gothic release, repetitive, more or less the same song pattern and simple to the bone.
The vocals are a mixture of deep growl ones with screamy ones with some nice effect touches in them.
Sometimes the music goes to the extremist of rock stuff and commercial gothic and this can be heard easily on many parts were the guitar is in the clean mode.

 In Music We Trust - Katatonia: Discouraged Ones
Discouraged Ones (Century Media -- 1453-A 14th St. #324/Santa Monica, CA 90404)
I am decidedly NOT a fan of this band and was expecting not a damn thing from this disc.
They still have some severe limitations with their frustratingly repetitive rhythm guitar sound but the clean vocals, moody atmosphere and subdued sound are all fairly enjoyable and even sound sincere.

 [No title]
Last year, I happened upon a momentous musical discovery, Katatonia's CD Brave Murder Day (which also included their EP For Funerals To Come).
Their entrancing and haunting melodies with just a touch of death metal hooked me. Discouraged Ones is the Swedes' successor and though the death-like vocals are gone, Katatonia have created another staggeringly great CD of darkly melodic metal.
Hopefully, with the majesty of Discouraged Ones, metal, alternative, and even Goth fans may take notice.

 Metallian.com - Katatonia
The band would go on hiatus for two years and emerged in 1998 with atoned down sound on Discouraged Ones.
Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth – who would also be part of Bloodbath with Renske later - participated on Discouraged Ones and would mark the band’s toned-down sound.
The band would recruit not one, but two, new members in 2001 in the form of Mattias Norrman and drummer Daniel Liljekvist.

However, with the release of VE, I was disgusted to learn that all of a sudden accusations of becoming a ‘nu-metal’ band was flying towards us.
The best thing I ever saw, are people coming to our concerts, not looking at the band, but standing with their eyes closed singing along.
There has been a good bit of banter over the years about Katatonia’s shift to more emotional metal (mainly in the albums starting with Discouraged Ones).

Discouraged Ones (1998) is an album highly praised as Katatonia's best with songs that are extremely well crafted, minimalistic; but by no means simple.
Brave Murder Day (1996) shows a unique contrast between the melodious/melancholic guitars and the Death-vox/clean voices that marks this album with its very original stamp, thanks to guest vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt (OPETH).
