Pain of Salvation: Scarsick

E        Well if you don't play  instrumental  music you have to write the lyrics about something. Writing Kobaian lyrics is also a possible choice. Many icons of  music might be accused for using it as their own personal soapbox. I prefer these guys a lot over the ones who sing about dragons and swords.

Eh? Who listens to music about dragons and swords? That's not what my prog consists of. Maybe with the exception of Glass Hammer.

`Excuse my soon-to-be-obvious bias, but Gildenlow could get drunk and light his instrument on fire and it would sound better than anything Tool could ever hope to write.'

O.K firstly i think its abundantly clear that i like Pain of Salvation - by mentioning that only OHBTCL (which i still think is a good album) has let me down, i'm implying that all their others haven't, since i didn't mention them. POS are actually my second favourite band (after guess who)

Secondly i was actually criticising tool in that post. 10 000 days is a horrible album and i was expressing my disdain of that album (indirectly)

Thirdly that actually made me laugh. You fanboy.
Fourthly you like neo-prog. And Dream Theater. `Nuff said.

But it gives me headaches.

Everyone be civil and respectful please.
    

^^ I'm fairly underwelmed by the PoS track on first listen, which is an awful shame.  Personally, the SB doesn't fare much better either, but that's another story.

Wow, POS has started the biggest controversy in prog since Tales of topographic oceans... and the album is not even out! ajajjaja

This track does sound rather mainstream and not as Pain of Salvation-like as the others, but lets see how that turns out to be, I mean as a whole. I also thought POS was more mainstream that what they are cause the first song I heard from them was Ashes, which was released as a single and did sound more in the nü metal direction, but once you listen to the album as a whole, it all fits so perfectly.

I for one stand with Gildenlöw with this one, Bush needs all the bad talking about him as possible. I cant believe how personal some folks from the United States are taking this, saying that Gildenlöw has become a jerk. Im pretty sure Gildenlöw would not be getting so much hate if he bashed another country or president
