Pain of Salvation

The lyrics are one thing.  But for the music to get markedly worse is a sad thing....

@KW, No, I didn't see them live....I was just talking about the BE dvd.

If what Daniel has said about it before (it was supposed to become Part II but then got
delayed and became Part III of TPE), it's going to be quite orchestral. The original plan
was to feature a bigger orchestra on TPEII than was used on the BE album, but since
they obviously changed their plans and did Scarsick first, who knows what else changed...

Final chance for this thread.

You know, everything is under the bridge and apologies have been expressed. It was a lapse in judgment on my part.

As much as I continue to disagree with certain views, I'm just going to stay away from the topic in the future...and I'm sure there will be more.

I have listned to POS MUCH less after hearing Scarsick. I think that says it all. Anyone else in the same boat?

Threw Remedy Lane in the car's player today. Still sounds good, but I don't listen to too much POS these days.

I just haven't listened to them in a while
though Scarsick really didn't alter the rotation schedule
I have like periods of listening to a band
then ones where I don't

I'm in the same boat, Kevin.  I've not listened to a single PoS song or album since hearing Scarsick.  I was that disappointed.

I've never heard BE or 12:3 either.

Remedy Lane is the best album, except for the dreadful last track.  Entropia my favourite (but not necessarily their best), as it's the one I've played the most and all tracks are good to excellent.  There's a few moments of almost laughable vocals performances from Daniel, but apart from that, I love that album.

One Hour I've only heard the once, I think.  I did like it and I didn't dislike any of the songs on it.

The less said about Scarsick the better, to be fair.  It was awful.
