Nothing will ever come near Remedy Lane for me. Story seems much more cohesive and there's more variety amongst it.



This and BE are probably a distant second/third - pity their newer stuff hasn't come close.



This is still fantastic though - Morning on Earth, Her Voices, title track and Song for the Innocent are great. Also love the Kingdom of Loss chorus.

True, it's way ahead of RL.



However RL it's a great album.

Ashes through to Idioglossia is mindblowing. The reprise of the ashes chorus gets me everytime.

Nah man if you take out both Road Salts PoS are pretty much the most consistent band ever. I even began to love Scarsick recently.



This is still their greatest, however.

Can't stop listening to this lately, this might grow to a 4.5 eventually. The title track and Her Voices are so good.

Her Voices is honestly probably my least favorite track here. At first it seems like the longest songs are the clear standouts (at least it was that way for me a few years ago) but wait till all the softer four-minute tracks grow on you.



Then you will 5.

Oh, man. I made that post? I would also add Entropia before the gap I spoke of. The other stuff isn't bad. I just mean that those records are that great.



The Road Salt stuff is better than Scarsick, imo.

Some of the lyrics on Scarsick get really preachy and it's like "lol okay Daniel" but it's a really interesting listen, especially with the diversity track to track.

I'm just usually a sucker for the epics. The instrumental interlude in Her Voices and the symphonic part right after are just fantastic. I dig the shorter ones on here too though. How would you rank this?

Dunno where I'd put Song for the Innocent/Falling, since I actually love that section but they're more of a prelude to the title track than actual songs.

Yes, Her Voices is great. My ranking would probably be similar to yours. Both you have Morning On Earth too low, however.
