Pain of Salvation

[sonicst0rm]

I love this band (well, until recently). Long story short, I just picked up their newest studio album "Be" from the store. What a waste of money. I wanted a progressive metal cd, not a broadway musical soundtrack. I can't listen to the whole thing straight through it's so bad. I can't even return it because I broke the CD case already.

But on a good note, their older stuff rocks. I have Entropia and the Perfect Element Part 1

[Kage]

Undertow is their only song worth mentioning.

[Eliminator]

I watched a video of one of their songs on youtube.

Sort of like torture.

[AA-12]

It's funny, I'm not much of a fan at all, but the album and concept behind "Be" changed my entire outlook on my life.

[silicon71]

PoS 0wns.

[Duman]

I really love BE, the concept is great and all the samples are used fantastically. I prefer to actually listen to their older stuff though, BE is more background music.

... what?

Anyway. Best band in the world. Scarsick will surely be great.

[Kage]

... what?
Undertow is their only song worth mentioning.

[nightbringer]

They have countless other songs of equal or higher quality!

[Txus]

I love this band to death. Remedy Lane is one of the best albums I've ever heard, it's soo full of emotion.

[Atica]

This is a great band, I liked it since the first time I heard it. My favorite album is Remedy Lane, but I also love 12:5.

[omgwtfboogie]

Undertow is their only song worth mentioning.

This man speaks only truth.

[JamJar]

Be was amazing by the way, espeicially the dvd.

These guys are pratically my favourite band ever and The Perfect Element Part One is practically my favourite album ever. I love this band with a flamig fanboy passion.

[Tyr]

Remedy Lane's my favourite, with The Perfect Element Part I a close second. BE's probably the most experimental stuff I've heard in a long time, but, like Duman, said, it's more of a background thing.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I've only heard Entropia. I go through spurts of really liking it and finding it terrible uninspired.

I ought to pick up Remedy Lane or something.

[Moses]

I've only heard Entropia. I go through spurts of really liking it and finding it terrible uninspired.

Yes, do that. Also pick up TPEpt1 and "Be".

[eug008]

****in great band, Perfect Element and Remedy Lane are both amazing.

btw. I am doin the song Iter Impius for a shool project, and need to know how to pronounce it and what the meaning is for the song. Help would be apreciated, thanks.

[Governor]

Wow nice timing, I had heard a few songs by them, but forgot what the band's name was, thankfully this just reminded me. Does anyone have recommendations on what album to start with?

[eug008]

Remedy Lane or Perfect Element by far.

[JamJar]

Get Remedy Lane first, it's their most accesible and it made me love the band. Then get The Perfect Element.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I watched a video of one of their songs on youtube.

Sort of like torture.
123

It's aproximately pronounced 'EE-ter IM-peeus'.

[Governor]

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll go check out remedy lane.:thumb:

[JamJar]

So awsome news for PoS fans. Details for new album announced.

http://www.insideout.de/indexx.php?arg=ARcTBEtBQUxSAg

Apparently it's released on January 22nd.

I can't wait for this :)

[Tyr]

This is going to be awesome!

[eug008]

Man this is great. 2007 is gonna be a great year music wise.

[Moses]

I watched a video of one of their songs on youtube.

Sort of like torture.

you probly saw ashes, their worst song

[Duman]

10 tracks? Lazy.

[Kage]

Maybe they're ultra-long prog rock mania.

[Duman]

One can only hope.

[Atica]

I want to listen to that coming album. :p

[eug008]

omfg, got the BE dvd and this is like one of the best concert DVD's, ever. Seriously, if you don't have it go get it now.

[eug008]

guys, I have the new album. I will upload it tommorrow, so post your emails or if you can't wait hit up some torrents :)

From what I've heard Daniel does a lot of rap-style vocals all over the place, but yeah, it's quite cool so far.

Thanks a load man.

[Moses]

If you can give me the torrent link that'd be awesome.

[sonicst0rm]

I want to check it out.. I just hope it's more along the lines of their older stuff instead of be

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It's pretty funny really; I've only heard Entropia and One Hour by the Concrete Lake, probably what most fans would consider their worst releases, but I am still not unfond of this band.

In fact, I'm looking forward to getting their new album fromthe DU.

/still needs Remedy Lane, TPE, and Be

[Duman]

^ I'll upload a couple of those for you if you like.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

That would be greatly appreciated.

ok, moses check your rep for the torrent link, and the album should be uploaded sometime today (when I have time) :)

[eug008]

alright, it's uploading now, so meanwhile you can listen to one of the tracks off the insideout webpage :)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Could I just get the torrent?

[Moses]

I'm downloading it now.

Jake I can give you the link.

chek yo rep

[Kage]

Oh, yuck. This new song is just not good at all. It sounds like PoS are becoming a parody of themselves.

[Moses]

I don't know, it sounds like they're trying to be nu-metal or somthing. Just a little. Just judging from the first song.

I like the song they have up there tho.

[Kage]

I wish they'd come up with something decent because they obviously have the capacity to.

[3FingeredHoek]

Oshi new album!

sandyevan@gmail.com

Thanks.

[eug008]

ok, pretty much listened to all of the album and this is what I think.

Parts of songs are really good, and then part's just annoy the **** out of me, like Daniel's rap style vocals. The hell is with the song, "Disco Queen". This album will probably grow on me, but imo. this is one of their weakest releases. It just dosen't carry the amount of emotion the other releases did.

[Moses]

I wish they'd come up with something decent because they obviously have the capacity to.

Get Be and read the concept behind it.

And have you heard TPE pt1? Well it's awesome except for Ashes. 12:5 is a really good album too. Actually 12:5 might be most to your likeing.

[eug008]

All who posted their emails should have the link by now.

BE is a really great album, definatly up there with TPEpt.1 and RL imo. And the DVD brings its awsomeness to a new level.

[pate]

I didn't get it. :(

leesmitty51 at gmail.com

Please

[Duman]

^ i sent it to Oz for the DU but I sent it to your email anyway.

[pate]

Oh, thanks a lot man!

[Moses]

Okay, I changed my mind. I really don't like the song up there.

I still don't like any of the album until Kingdom of Loss and even that's kind of boring. There's some good parts but the songs kind of annoy me.

This is wayyyy different than the other albums.

[3FingeredHoek]

I didn't get the album. :/

[halfdeadhippo]

I love these guys, but it's an interesting relationship that I have with their music. Sometimes, I'll be completely obsessed with their music, but other times, it'll just seem way too cheesy. This seems to get more and more polar as I move through their discography. For example, even though I go through phases where BE is the best album I've ever heard, most of the time, I can't stand it. It's weird. Remedy Lane seems to be the exception, though.


Also, if somebody could send the new one to me, I'd be very grateful: halfdeadhippo @ hotmail.com

[Moses]

Kage, I don't understand how you only like Undertow. I can't see why you wouldn't like Chain Sling or Reconciliation or Dryad of the Woods or Waking Every God. Have you checked out any of the other albums at all either?

Okay so I really can't enjoy the new album. So far it's the only bad thing I've heard from them.

[Kage]

Those songs are okay.

But none of them really hit the spot for me other than Undertow.

I checked out Be and that was way gay.

[eug008]

Reconciliation is such a great song, especially that guitar harmony in the beginning.

I sent it to those people who req. again cause noone seemed to have got it :confused:

[halfdeadhippo]

Thanks, man. Much appreciated. :thumb:

[Txus]

God, new PoS is sooo weak :(

NP: Nightmist

^That's good PoS.

[eighty d]

I didn't get it either. If anyone has a link that they could send me that'd be awesome. Either to the uploaded file or the torrent, it doesn't matter which.

cranuaed@gmail.com

[3FingeredHoek]

Thanks for the album! I can't wait to give it a listen, even though the negative comments have me worried.

[Atica]

I agree with eug, Reconciliation is an amazing song. Haven't heard the new PoS. :(

[Cocaine]

I've been listening to TPE PT1 all week. I dont know if I want to hear the new cd anymore.

[Daven]

Scarsick is out?? Damn i didnt know this.

[Cocaine]

Leak.

[Daven]

I meant out, as in leak. :p

[Moses]

It's just as gay as it's title.

I think the loss of Kristoffer Gildenlow might have somthing to do with this album sucking.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Isn't that the frontman's brother? What happened?

[Moses]

bassist and brother

I heard some of his solo stuff and he's amazing.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Bummer, he's an awesome bassist.

[Moses]

4 sho

But seriously, they better do somthing about this.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It will probably grow on you. I think you're just kind of gay about new music. I mean you didn't like 10kd.

Do you still not?

If you still don't, then my argument is a lost cause.

Either way, don't be too quick to judge. It could grow on you.

[Cocaine]

I liked 10k Days at first, then realized it was mediocre not long after.

[eug008]

I didn't get it either. If anyone has a link that they could send me that'd be awesome. Either to the uploaded file or the torrent, it doesn't matter which.

cranuaed@gmail.com
Sent.

But didn't Daniel write almost all of PoS's material?

ohwell, I'm sure TPEpt2 will be better than this, I hope anyways...

[Feel Euphoria]

can someone send me the torrent plz? thx
freetheeuphoria@gmail.com

[eug008]

check ya rep.

[Kage]

Click on "User CP" at the top of this page and then scroll to the bottom.

[Feel Euphoria]

thx but i just found it lol

[eighty d]

Sent.

Thanks.

I'm kind of stunned by this album actually. I was expecting bad compared to PoS's other material, not just flat out bad. Granted, I didn't think Be was a good album, but it still had Iter Impius and Imago redeeming it. I can't believe that the same person who wrote Remedy Land and The Perfect Element I wrote this album.

The thing that disappoints me most about this album is Daniel's vocals. It was half way through the album before I heard a somewhat memorable vocal line. If he couldn't come up with the amazing melodies of Remedy Lane I wish he would've just gone back to the vocal acrobatics of The Perfect Element.

Disco Queen is over 8 minutes long. Seriously.

[Moses]

It will probably grow on you. I think you're just kind of gay about new music. I mean you didn't like 10kd.

Do you still not?

If you still don't, then my argument is a lost cause.

Either way, don't be too quick to judge. It could grow on you.

No, trust me... It's gay.

Anyway, I still don't like 10kd that much still. I like it somewhat but I think it's close to my least favorite album by Tool.

Scarsick = garbage

[nightbringer]

I haven't heard it but it can't be bad. It just can't. I can't fathom PoS producing a bad album. No. You're all wrong.

[Moses]

That's what I thought at first...

[nightbringer]

I guess I'll just have to wait and see (listen) for myself. It's annoying because all of my favourite bands have had dissapointing new releases ... I can't handle PoS continuing that trend.

[eighty d]

I haven't heard it but it can't be bad. It just can't. I can't fathom PoS producing a bad album. No. You're all wrong.

I'm with Moses. I thought the same thing when I was hearing bad reviews. Even the ridiculous song titles don't do justice to how terrible the actual songs are.

[3FingeredHoek]

I don't think it's a bad album by any means, just extremely average by PoS standards.

[Moses]

I don't know... seems like the emotion just kind of went.. Thptptptptptptptp

(you know that farting noise you make with your toung and lips)

[Txus]

^:lol:

I seriously was expecting a masterpiece and they come out with this crap.

[3FingeredHoek]

It is pretty uninspired. I was also pretty pissed when I realized America was the best song on the album. :/

[eug008]

I like the part at 1:00 of Spitfall, but then the rest is just gay. And then Disco Queen, possibly the most "wtf" out of all the tracks, is also 8 minutes...

Oh well, I guess I'll just pump RL and TPE until they release their next album.

Cmon guys, show some PoS lovin.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The title track from Scarsick has becoming one of my favorite PoS tracks. The chorus makes it for me. There's no way Gildenlow hasn't been obsessing over Patton over the past couple years. :p

[Phalanx]

i like "A Trace of Blood" :)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

12:5 is such a cool album. I love the middle movement most thus far; I love how much they messed around with Winning a War. I'm generally a sucker for Middle Eastern influenced music though, so I kind of saw that coming, heh.

Anyways, the third movement (Brickwork 6-10) didn't do much for me. I haven't heard any of the songs which would probably explain that, but still, it seems very meh.

[silicon71]

If Pain of Salvation doesn't at least make the top 5 I am going to be mad, so vote!

[Moses]

Well, not many people like them. Just a few who love them.

[eug008]

We need votes, NOW.

[magicbus]

I tried watching some videos of them on youtube. When it didn't take 3 minutes for the music to start, I had people talking in a different language and I could only pick out some phrases they were saying. When I heard "orchestra of eternity", I turned it off. :rolleyes:

Anyways, I think I just gonna vote for neither in the tiebreaker.

[eug008]

What song was it?

Watch that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJzlmgSLNN8

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Their live show looks so intimate. I watched a clip from Oblivion Ocean and the crowd it looks like the crowd could literally reach out and play Daniel's guitar. That's awesome.

Maybe it's an really old vid though...

[Altmer]

Well I saw them last Saturday and the live show was wicked beyond all things.

[yontar]

i really like everything up to the perfect element, and i like be live but not as much on the album. scarsick is a little odd.

[Cocaine]

Well I saw them last Saturday and the live show was wicked beyond all things.

holy m-m-mega bump.

[TemperamentalGoat]

holy m-m-mega bump.

no kidding. back when I still liked them too.

oh the fallacies of youth

[Dimmu Burger]

I haven't heard these guys before. Recommend me an album.

[pate]

The Perfect Element Part I

or anything but Scarsick.

[Tyr]

What pate said, or Remedy Lane.

[Dimmu Burger]

Sweet, thanks!

[jrowa001]

if you like Remedy Lane and Perfect Element Pt. 1 then you really need to listen to BE. its a bit different but you can appreciate it more if you dont go in expecting something like their other albums. they still have the same sound but theres not as much heavy parts

[Altmer]

I love Scarsick actually guys, it's different and angrier but I really like the compositions on it.

[jrowa001]

Scarsick is good with some songs i dont care for at all, but its just not as good as their others imo

[Altmer]

i can honestly say I like every song on Scarsick

[jrowa001]

was Scarsick your first PoS album?
