If The Fall of Hearts does something right, it's definitely to correct that very mistake; the production breathes much more effortlessly. However, this doesn't mean that The Fall of Hearts is a simpler Katatonia album. On the contrary, it's probably the most varied they have been in their career. The term progressive has been thrown around Katatonia at least since The Great Cold Distance, perhaps even earlier, but I think The Fall of Hearts is the first real example of a more progressively oriented sound. Anders's clean guitar leads are magnificently ornate and meandering and Jonas is still at the top of his game, where he has comfortably been at least since Night Is the New Day.
