According to wiki, RS1 is a concept album.
Anyways, inspired by Sigz's top albums list, I'm going to attempt to pick up on what makes PoS so adored. Remedy Lane is all right to me, with a few standouts, but a few clunkers as well. I was going to try The Perfect Element, but found RS1 first. After hearing "Linoleum," which I didn't like, and "Road Salt," which I thought was better, I figured, "maybe the album is better than that song." Well, I've started my first listen of RS1, and "No Way" kicked in, and I was getting the feeling that the whole album would be full of this mediocre throwback classic/garage rock that not even an interesting atmospheric passage could save. I'm on "Of Dust" right now. This one and the last two songs have been a vast improvement, especially "Sisters." It seems really easy to get lost in that song.
