SCARSICK

Well, what can I say? My friend introduced me to Pain of Salvation a while back, first starting with REMEDY LANE. I liked it at first, but didnt love it. I then heard BE, and at first i was reluctant, but after a while i began to appreciate it for what it is. BE was an amazing spectacle; it had EVERYTHING! Needless to say, i was VERY excited for SCARSICK. The album cover made be squirm even more, since its just so cool. Throughout the album, i was shocked. POS will have so much fans for the wrong reasons after this. Its simply mainstream garbage. POS is capable of so much more.

1. Scarsick - The only decent song here. Nice bass/ synth? leads. Yet, its still pretty bad..thats how you know the albums gonna sniff ass 5/10

2.spitfall - WTF? Daniels trying to rap around the main theme of the whole anti-america. WE get it pos, not ALL americans are bad silly. -30/100

3. cribcages - The intro started out nice, very remeniscent to BE. However, it got all bad when mr. now-bad-guitarist tries to be all cool and step on his little distorsion pedal. The chorus is soo annoying. Mainstream garbage -2/10

4. America - I'll admit its CATCHY, but in the wrong way. It sounds like a soap commercial, or a commercial for bad teeth, which daniel stars in. Stop with this anti- american stuff...its played out! Anyways, this song has a repetive chorus/verse. I'll admit, another "favourite" on the album, and thats DEFINATELY not a good thing. 5/10

5. Disco Queen - An example of POS trying to be as diverse as possible. It was fine up to now, but with this song, this "uniqueness" fad feels FORCED. COME ON NOW DANIEL

6. Kingdom of loss: real creative daniel 5.32/39.1

you know what... the rest of the songs...there not worth being REVIEWED, even by me..a terrible ORATOR.

Memorable Tracks : the last second of ENTER RAIN because you know you will never have to listen to this rubbish again. Look out MTV, here comes PAIN OF SALVATION! I'll admit, when a favourite band of yours creates new work, you wish they won't be popular, and will have bad hopes. ie. Amputechture with the mars volta...
