well, the claim is more, that there aren't that many catchy choruses, and the ones that are there aren't any good, but that's of course subjective. 
However, you may seem to notice, the main qualm people have with the album isn't that of lacking catchiness, but that of monotony.
To elaborate on that, here my very in-depth, very scientific analysis, track by track:
 
1: NIHIL                           80bpm, B-flat minor, intro, electronic
2: Headache Man var. 1   100bpm, B-flat minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
3. Headache Man var. 2   120bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
4. Headache Man var. 3   150bpm, B-flat minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
5. DERACINE                      75bpm, B-minor, Power Ballad or sth
6. Headache Man var. 4   110bpm, A-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
7. Ruthless Deed v2.0        90bpm, A-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
8. Headache Man var. 5   105bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
9. Hyena v2.0                   100bpm, C#-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
10. Headache Man var.6  120bpm, A-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song (with little ballady bits)
11. Headache Man var.7  120bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
12. Headache Man var.8  120bpm, D#-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song (with little ballady bits)
13. Headache Man var.9  145bpm, B-minor, Heavy GurrGurr song
14. OMINOUS                    90bpm, D#-minor, Song
 
now, if i wasn't such an asshat i might give them, that Hyena 2.0 (i think it's real title is lucy?) is more of a punkrock track than gurrgurr, that maybe the gurrgurr/balladybit songs have a more suitable example than headacheman, but you get the picture. the overall impression of the album is, that more than 2/3 of the songs are more or less slight variations of sth like headache man, somewhere between 100 and 120bpm, probably in B or B-flat minor. On DIM you had one headacheman (maybe adding moth, leech and ogre to the same realm, but that's about it), which is why people loved it so much. Here you have a full album consisting of one single track, that in the end just feels like an hourlong forgettable slob of generic riffwankery.
(which isn't helped much by the fact, that they once again fail to chime in on the possibilities of having two guitars. I mean, double-tracking is cool and all, but when the rhythm and the lead guitars are just carbon copies of each other for 90% of the time you really are doing sth wrong, or are being very lazy)
 
Edit: Also, having listened to the album a few times more now, i change my rating from 6-7/10 to more of a 5.5/10 due to severe boredom

I still don't understand the DEUX love.

well, personally I don't really care much for guren myself and find it just one of the more forgettable gazette ballads, but specifically and out of nowhere calling out a track (that doesn't really differ much from anything else gazette has done) that is immensly popular, from the album which is pretty universally (on this forum) considered to be gazettes best so far and calling it one of the worst songs written by mankind leads me to two possible scenarios.
 
1. The poster desperately needs to make known, that his tastes differ from the peasant mainstream, which i would consider to be somewhat "hipster"
2. The poster wanted to piss off as many people as possible, which is what i would consider the "troll". If that was the intention and seeing that I reacted to it, well done i guess?
 
I mean of course it's totally fine not to like guren, but without any connection specifically slamming this track from that album makes it kinda hard not to come to these conclusions.

well, and that ^^  
sooo, to not be totally off-topic and trying to somewhat getting onto DOGMA, I probably aswell consider it a better effort than anything that came after DIM, but that doesn't mean much. In general it is very same-y over the whole length.
most of the tracks seem just like minor variations of the same base formula. On top of it it doesn't really vary much in energy, even the tempos are pretty similar throughout all the titles. As a result there aren't really any standout tracks per se for me, which is not good.
there are just little stand-out moments here and there, where i might think, nice riff / cool little vocal motif / interesting sound / nice groove etc. but that's about it.
 
Nonetheless i don't dislike the standard-gazerock fare that much and as mentioned it has its fun moments, so i would probably consider it somewhat of a 6-7/10. might do a full review if i happen to listen to it more often (i doubt it though)

sooo, to not be totally off-topic and trying to somewhat getting onto DOGMA, I probably aswell consider it a better effort than anything that came after DIM, but that doesn't mean much. In general it is very same-y over the whole length.
most of the tracks seem just like minor variations of the same base formula. On top of it it doesn't really vary much in energy, even the tempos are pretty similar throughout all the titles. As a result there aren't really any standout tracks per se for me, which is not good.
there are just little stand-out moments here and there, where i might think, nice riff / cool little vocal motif / interesting sound / nice groove etc. but that's about it.
 
Nonetheless i don't dislike the standard-gazerock fare that much and as mentioned it has its fun moments, so i would probably consider it somewhat of a 6-7/10. might do a full review if i happen to listen to it more often (i doubt it though)

aaaaand finished final fantasy VI.
 
great game aswell (jesus, just think about that, approx. 50 hours of epic story game in roughly 2MB of size that's the size of a badly compressed mp3^^)
 
really cool characters and world, although i have to admit, it loses it's steam a bit after "significant event" because it's basically just a series of sidequests afterwards without progressing the main storyline...
 
don't know what's next, might dust of my old guildwars2 character maybe, also possibly trying baldurs gate 2 in co-op with a friend, who knows...

Lestat, I appreciate you in general, you seem to be a very nice person, but you're overreacting a bit (especially in the D topic).

We are a forum. We are free of discussions and opinions.
The problem begin when people think they have the truth in them/in their words/in their opinions and denigrate others' opinions (especially in the reviews threads). You like it because A+B? Good. You don't like it because A+B? That's good too. The end. Stop the overreactions.
We don't need a safe day. We already have it, we just have people who obviously can't deal with others' opinions.
 
Peace and safety.

well, strictly speaking the article doesn't really claim any katatonia vibe per se.
 
the only comparison it mentions is: "everything I absolutely adore about bands like Katatonia and Porcupine Tree, in terms of heavy music that isn't afraid to sit back on wavering keyboards and acoustic guitars from time to time", which is a perfectly reasonable statement to make.
It's just that the ridiculous headline implies otherwise.

nice review, what would interest me is, how did your "not-that-mono-crazy" friends enjoy the show? because in my experience even ppl with close to no relation to the music very much enjoy the special atmosphere of mono-gigs...
