Wow, this is a really cool song.

I love it!

Doesn't really sound Road Salt to me, more like Entropia. Which is all right in my book.

Daniel is as sexy as usual.

After one listen, the only thing I can point out about it that stands out in a positive way are the backing vocals before the chorus, they're really good.

That chorus though, sorry I absolutely dislike that frantic rhythm, it sounds as if they strive to be as close to sounding a-rhythmic as possible.

Meaningless is still awesome though, I'm still hopeful about this album.

Lovely

It was weird but I liked it very much

wolfking · « **Reply #2595 on:** December 23, 2016, 04:23:05 AM »

I thought that song was really quite cool.

Actually got a 8VM Intervals vibe with the counting and rhythms and shit too.

abydos · « **Reply #2596 on:** December 23, 2016, 04:53:14 AM »

I really liked it. Minus the "these are the reasons" and the counting part which I thought was quite bad.

Btw, prepare to be surprised with a slight reprise of Ending Theme (from Remedy Lane) at one point that's even cited as such in the album booklet.

Man.. that sounds like it would have been so cool to hear without knowing that it was coming... so thanks a lot for ruining that for me/us

I thought the new song was really good, wow. I'm hyped for this album.

Thanks to Joe's quick and excellent work, I should have a review on When Prog and Power Unite this Monday.

Didn't like the new song when I listened but the chorus/rhythm is very firmly stuck in my head now lol

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #2601 on:** December 23, 2016, 12:19:21 PM »

Some parts of this song get super, super Korn. I can see where the Scarsick comparisons are stemming from. I suppose I can get used to them – took me a while, but I do like most of Scarsick these days. You just kinda... ignore most of the lyrics. Like Fear of a Blank Planet.

Try switching your location in YT, heard that works.

I love the sound and production of the new album judging from the two singles. The only thing I didn't like is the "These are the reasons" part (but I like the "counting" section and the rest of the song). Reasons reminded me a bit the sound of The Congregation by Leprous, plus the obvious djent influence.

Now that they have incorporated djent in their sound I think there are no more genres for them to explore, they have tried everything

abydos · « **Reply #2610 on:** December 27, 2016, 05:45:36 AM »

I like the sound overall but somehow it gets annoying after I listen to it a few times. It feels like it lacks dynamics, cranked up loudness.

PixelDream · « **Reply #2611 on:** December 27, 2016, 10:11:02 AM »

Kind of like the new tracks, Reasons definitely better than Meaningless. So Ragnar handles the ultra high vocals these days?

I didn't like the Road Salt albums that much, but I have to say 'Gone' is a fantastic track out of that period. That quiet breakdown in the middle of the track never ceases to give me goosebumps.

I don't know why Gone it wasn't included in one of the Road Salt albums.. it is easily one of the best tracks of that period.

I was thinking about starting a Pain Of Salvation Survivor in 2017. I know that in 2013 Elite did one, I was watching the results last week. I prefer to announce it here than in the Polls/Survivor section, I don't know how many people read the Ongoing and Upcoming Survivor thread

For those of you concerned about the new album: You haven't heard the best songs yet. The three longest tracks are probably the three best, or at least 3 of the 4. The title track has been stuck in my head all week.

NoseofNicko · « **Reply #2614 on:** December 28, 2016, 10:09:23 PM »

January 13th can't come soon enough.

I dunno, that doesn't give me much comfort. I might very well like the album.

I also haven't heard Reasons yet, since I don't do Spotify and the video isn't available in America for some reason.

Hey, if I'm not willing to make that kind of effort for hookers, then I'm certainly not for internet radio.

Fiiiiiine.

Did it, listening now.

abydos · « **Reply #2618 on:** December 28, 2016, 11:48:55 PM »

Spotify is pretty shitty if you don't pay. I was listening to some Death and in between I get some crappy pop/dance ads of all things. CIA torture tactics right there, good thing that they had a promotion to get premium for a few months only for 1euro or something like that.

Adami · « **Reply #2619 on:** December 28, 2016, 11:57:37 PM »

Oh yea, forgot to comment.

Didn't like the song. The first verse (not the reasons part) was pretty cool, but the rest was a big old pile of meh.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #2620 on:** December 30, 2016, 02:30:47 PM »

something kinda interesting to follow: a while back Daniel made a post saying something to the effect of "a new band is born" and since then there's been some pics here and there of him getting together with some old members of the band. (Magdic, Hallgren, Langell)

are we gonna have two Pain of Salvations soon??

Adami · « **Reply #2621 on:** December 30, 2016, 02:33:31 PM »

Honestly, you get Fredrick and Kristopher in that project and you have my attention.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #2622 on:** December 30, 2016, 04:58:40 PM »

Fredrik appears to also be involved (was in one of the earlier pictures)

Kristoffer IDK but I assume not cause I don't think he lives in Sweden

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #2623 on:** December 31, 2016, 07:14:29 AM »

Kristoffer lives happily in Holland (The Netherlands), so that would be inpractical. But exciting news to say the least.

The Pain Of Salvation survivor has begun with the first round of Entropia. Check out the Polls/Survivors section
