Ohhhh, here's a question. I'm not sure if you would know this, but are any of the other songs on the album just renamed songs from someone else's former band?

I'm not really familiar with any of the other members' former bands, I'm sorry.  ::) Keep up with the interesting questions guys, it's a pleasure for me.

So judging from the first picture, I can assume this song is a piano driven ballad?


Also nice to see Daniel still owns a shirt haha.

Hearing that the last two tracks are sort of your favourites is good. I had some doubts about a 15 minutes song of PoS, it is a lot for them. It's like reading a 30+ minutes track of a Dream Theater album (I don't feel Six Degrees as a unique piece)

if only their people were aware of my blog, although I wouldn't promise a review necessarily (but just info/details, etc) given I've been keeping my blog more or less Pro-Bono for a decade. However, I have been sent promos a bit here and there, but I don't go out of my way to request them. Maybe I should though?

Of course, you totally should! They have so many press relations that it's hard to remember them all.

But remember that bands always have these "hook phrases" when promoting a new album, to do exactly that: hook you in. Then the album comes and more often than not it's not *quite* as up there as the band's pre-release statements would suggest.

True that. This time it's heavy though... Like almost djent-y riffs and breakdowns here and there. :)

Djent-y does not excite me :/

Where can the album be pre-ordered?  I can't seem to find any mention of pre-orders on the band's facebook page.

I don't have time to listen to a 50 minute interview. But for those that do, could someone point out the highlights?

Skimmed through it, the interview is not very much about the new album, more about personal stuff for Daniel

-The album is mostly about the first day in the hospital when things weren’t going well and he was scared of dying, not about the whole 4 months
- full throttle tribe is about missing the old band lineup
- The demo tracks for the limited edition were done all by Ragnar/Daniel
- long talk about recovering from the illness
- long talk about parkour with some very in depth discussion about doing a backflip

Wish there was more new album talk but it was cool

I just now got into listening to POS and bought Discovering POS for 15.00 including shipping on Amazon.  There are 5 cd's in the set:

Entropia, One Hour, The Perfect Element pt. 1, Remedy Lane and 12:5

Great Deal!

That's a hell of a deal. Those are their best five albums, in my opinion.

Woah. That's a first! Usually the argument is where Remedy falls in someone's top 3 (number 2 for me) but I've never come across a PoS fan that didn't like it.

I think Remedy Lane's just bound to be a favorite because it's the most complete realization of the style that resonates best with the majority of their fanbase.  I think it's great but there are some things about it that bother me a good bit.  (awkward double instrumental, Rope Ends which I never liked at all)

I don't know what to expect from this new album cause there's so many new factors.  Full of instrumentalists we've never heard before outside of an acoustic album and someone other than Daniel writing music for pretty much the first time since Entropia

Yea, putting the Remedy Lane track where it is, is definitely an odd choice.

I think the only part of RL I still really can't get into is the chorus to Fandango.

And what a song that is, probably the best on the album.
From the times i've listened to it, i wouldn't say that it's like Remedy Lane or TPE, more like in the vein of Scarsick with Road Salt melodies and vibe.

It's definitely heavy though, and a good mix of old and new.

Niiice.  So they are doing an American tour, thank God.  A small part of me feared another "embargo" when Trump was elected in

Scarsick and Road Salt mixture?

Sadly what I expected, but not what I was hoping for. Ah well. I'll check it out.

Every interview/press release talks about how complex it is so I have a hard time picturing it being too much like Scarsick..

That said Scarsick music could be fine just no Scarsick lyrics.

Well not exactly, mostly in the more organic sound. But i can definitely draw some parallels. Just don't expect TPE or RL sound. It's heavy, it's definitely progressive (time signatures and syncopation that we love about the band) but at the same time it's very different.

Definitely check it out, it's a very interesting album.

I hope it includes a lot of dates; but per they being on Cruise to the Edge February 7-11, a Houston date on the 14th isn't too surprising.

Is meaningless the only release from the new album so far?  I didn't love the song, but I will listen to the next few releases before writing it off as nothing to get excited about.
Political discussion post-election = pointless.
Nothing like getting a lecture on “what is and will happen” from the same people that just went 0 for 100 at bat during the election cycle.

You could tell me the album was Daniel pissing inside a piano while chanting about his gigantic penis (which I haven't ruled out the possibility of him doing eventually) and I'd still check it out day of release.

I might not like it, but I'll always check it out.
