Description/Reviews: 

Musically, “No Need for Reason” is still very much a mix of post rock and dark prog with some Gothic undertones. So what if Katatonia had a thing for The Mission rather than The Cure.

Description/Reviews: 

Walking a thin line between dreamy post rock and post metal this album lures you in with dreamy sounds and hypnotising vocals reminding me of a heavier version of Duran Duran or Pet Shop Boys on album opener “Breathe”.
And it’s that dreamlike state that continues on throughout the whole album, making it a perfect album to listen to during a relaxing ride, yet at the same time there are enough layers to the songs to keep it interesting enough to just sit down to and have a good listening session.
