Recently, I've became a fan of Pain of Salvation, sparked by the purchase of Scarsick and settled with an even better album (the one after entropia). Getting all of their albums and even enjoying an album I slammed last year with a 2-star rating (BE). Mostly, it is because of the emotion and the amazing vocal performances of Daniel.

I consider him the "Peter Gabriel" of metal , because he puts his heart into the music.

PS: sorry, but I consider "A Perfect Equation" their weakest.

One Hour By The Concrete Lake is indeed a very good and overlooked album. I've never really gotten TPE myself, but from what I understand it's a bit more difficult then their other releases, so I'm still awaiting the inevitable realization of its masterpiece status or something =P

A great singer that somehow turned 10 years old instead of 30+ (I don't know his age)... I had never seen a man drop that many years in the course of a single album...but please, Daniel hates everybody. Big%20smile     Remedy Lane is his masterpiece and if you want emotion, listen to undertow.... "let me break the things I love I want to cry", hear him singing that line and learn about a true singer, not the angry-third-grader of America....

I love five of Pain of Salvation's albums and tolerate the sixth. Remedy Lane is my favorite and his vocal performance on that one combined with the story of that album made me instantly adore it. I'm still confused as to what happened with Scarsick, though.

And the point?

The vocals are one of the things I like the least about PoS.

Agreed with Phileas.
 
The vocals sound bland and uninspired to me.

Its my opinion that Daniel Gildenlow is possibly the best vocalist of the last 10 years, probably by a long way.

Did they do the terrible Scarsick stuff, Ed? Wink

I think one of his best vocal performances is actually on Entropia.

Oh and the unbuttoned shirt look is rather disturbing... and it's not because I'm straight, it's just a weird thing.

He messed up the lyrics TWICE in Scarsick LOL
 
them 1st time they stopped playing, left the stage and re-entered, telling us to repeat what we did one minute agoBig%20smile
 
He messed up the same line the second time, but still, they started improvising and went into the chorus.
 
No mess-up apart form those two. Disco Queen was such a killer! So was "Hallelujah" from the Shrek Soundtrack...
 
setlist almost the same as in Gothenburg.

I thought his singing was great with the Flower Kings Big%20smile

Actually, I really love Remedy Lane, and his vocals are a big part of that.  I like Scarsick, but would probably rank it last out of their albums that I have heard (never heard Entropia or One Hour..............worth getting for the casual fan or not?).  TPE is a somewhat difficult album, but I like it well enough, though I rank it next to last Smile
