Even when taken out of the context of the albums concept, it comes nowhere close to Waters "Rock opera for all the women who hate me because i'm too deep"

Both come off as quite the egomaniac if you ask me, but then again narcissism and great songwriters seem to have a thing going. I'm not here to judge them based off their personas.

Yeah, perhaps. But at least on the surface Gildenlow presents with a lot more altruism, even if it is at times overstated and crassly delivered (Scarsick).

Roger Waters has the most annoying voice in the whole of this goddam earth, while Gildenlow I can out up with....

Road Salt 1 is interesting for sure... as a fan of all types of music from led zeppelin to beardfish to Opeth, I don't care whether the album is prog enough or metal enough. The point is the songs just aren't up to PoS standard. A few of them rock out, and none of them are bad, but they aren't compelling as we expect from PoS.

I myself though BE and Scarsick were great albums (especially BE).

I love Road Salt, the best album they have done, in my opinion, i think they do better, when not beeing the awfully "hard", maby other bands do progressive/heavy as good or better than they do, not that many able to make a record like this one, soft and powerfull mixed nicely, without any of the cheap heavyrock effects, that you find all over the place these days. 
 
A supreem rock album, with a bit of many styles on it, something i generaly think is possetive.
Would rate it 4+ something, disregarding how prog it is, but you are right its not very prog., so i'we desided not to rate it at all, as i cant rate it for what it is, prog-related. 
 
 
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours
