I couldn't say which song is better. I really love all of the "Night Is The New Day" songs. If I have to choose one maybe that would be "The longest year".
Anyway, each song of this album has a very specific part that completely enchants me.
I agree that some songs on this album have parts that remind Opeth, but I think this is not bad, as some seem to believe.
From my point of view is even something quite positive, which gives seconds of magic to the songs (maybe this is because I also like Opeth very much).
Preferences will be varied, I'm sure of that, but, as they already know, opinions are changing as we listen to the album again and again (at least, in my case).
Although they would like us to choose one as a favorite, I will say that the whole record seems fantastic to me. I think they have done a wonderful job, and haven't left me indifferent.
So, well done, Katatonia! Still blowing out my mind with the good work, and thank you very much for all of these years of music =)
I say 10/10

I voted for Nephilim. Dynamic, Beautiful, Katatonia. close seconds were (in no particular order) Day and Then The Shade, Liberation, Promise of Deceit, and Longest Year. This album is absolutely amazing, and it dominates all music. The thought, emotion, life, and personal anguish that Katatonia have poured into this album shines through in every single track. My Grandmother passed away the day I received my Swedish Pre-Order here in the U.S. and this music has helped me cope, and grasp the weight of our loss. I will forever remember this albums release, its amazing songs, and my Grandmother's passing, in such an epic way that it has changed my life. Thank you Katatonia, you are loved by many.
Hi guys, i made a vocal Cover of the new song called Departer.

you are so idiots....yeah i admit that idle blood is too opeth SO FUCKING WHAT???????it's one of my favourites songs and one of their best.thanks anders/jonas for that song...

Absolutely, Idle Blood is the worst song on the album. It's not a 'bad' song, but it just sounds like an Opeth song. If I wanted to hear Opeth, I would put in "Still Life".... the rest of the album is fantastic though!
My vote went for The Longest Year

When I've first heard idle blood I thought "what the f*** is this? " I know that Akerfeld and Renkse/Nystrom are strong friends but that was a bit too much for me. They unneccessary messed their styles. If I want to listen to such songs as idle blood I listen to the Opeth' damnation album. I am truly dissapointed that Katatonia recorded such song. I do not understand why people vote so much for this one...there are much better songs on the album - IMO all the other are better.
i've got to say "Nephilim"... its so... dark and slow, its doomed to the core =)
love the rest of the album as well, but that one rocks!
and as jordi says...i miss growls in this album also...
congrats katatonia, good work!

katatonia has left a bit of their old, traditional style that makes it unique katatonia remain distinct style unicoscon a new disc is a new masterpiece of the band
I love all songs of this album. I love Katatonia ^^

You're absolutely right Lucas!!! It's very similar to Opeth...
My favorite: Forsaker - Day And Then The Shade...
True melancholic serenity to my ears! Shame they did not have growling vocals on this album!
