Pain of Salvation thread, v.2 (merged)

I love Meaningless. Love everything about this song: the riffs, the drum playing, Zolberg's voice...kickass song!

I hope the title track grows on me... what a colossal letdown. 

So far, On a Tuesday is my favorite by far. The rest is decent to good.

Right now I'd rank this album between Scarsick & The Road Salt stuff.

[Kwyjibo]

I find the combination of If This Is The End and Passing Light Of Day just glorious, took some time, but now I'm really into it. The album as a whole isn't bad but I think it's more similar to Scarsick (maybe the more modern sounding guitars) than to Perfect Element or Remedy Lane.

Spending some time with the new album this week as I grabbed a ticket for their NYC show next weekend (always happy to see prog metal Jesus for $25) and it's growing on me. Early favorite is probably The Taming of a Beast. Also been listening to the Remedy Lane remaster and goddamn if that album isn't an absolute masterpiece.

Great show in Dallas last night. The new songs sound great live.

Got to talk to Ragnar for a bit. Pretty cool down to earth guy. So that weird bagpipe sounding patch in the intro to Meaningless, he did it with his voice and a few other sounds...but it's mainly his voice.

Meaningless has strangely crept into my list of favorites on the album

I also saw options for a meet and greet.  Just $50 or $60.  Was tempted to grab one of those.  It's not every day you get a chance to meet Daniel.

Me too. I didn't think much of it when the video came out. I only listened to it once as I'm not really a fan of music videos. But I like how it fits in with the album and it stands up on its own too.

You should go for it. I did and don't regret it. I spent most of the time talking to Ragnar. Daniel was held up by a female fan and she basicaly hoarded him for the rest of the meet and greet. I did get to snap a pic with DG and the whole band. And got the new album signed by the whole band as well.

Yeah, I saw that. Certainly reasonably priced compared to most other meet and greets. I guess I just don't think I'm enough of a fan to feel like purchasing it. Don't know what I'd talk with them about.

edit: plus, that leaves more time for drinking at Cooper's Kitchen beforehand

But be prepared for a long gig. In Dallas, there were two local opening bands, then District 97 (which kicked ass in so many ways) and PoS. Show started at 8 and PoS ended their set at 1230am. I don't think D97 is playing in NYC though.

[Phoenix87x]

I wish they would have had a Philly date. Can't make it to NYC

Yeah, sadly no District 97 for us. There are two opening bands listed and the show starts at 7, so hopefully not too late a night considering it's a Sunday night show.

Who needs D97 when you get Next to None?

Wait, I swear they weren't on the bill like two days ago

They are now! How exciting! Having seen both Pain of Salvation and District 97 on the cruise I had no reason to go to the NYC show, but now it'll be tough to keep me away!

That's cool! How long was the meet and greet and how many hours before the show was it in your case? I'm all about getting pics with bands I love. Would be cool to meet Daniel too.

It was close to an hour with about 10-12 people plus the band.

The meet and greet started at 645pm. Show (first opening band) started at 8pm. PoS went 3 hrs later.

I would check with the venue because at first, it was scheduled at 5pm, then it was moved until 630 the same day.

[MinistroRaven]

One of the shows which blew people's minds during Cruise to the Edge is now here in 4K quality for you to re-live it. Many thanks to Rod Millan for helping me to record this and some other shows (You can listen to his voice near to the camera sometimes, a proof of how excited he was with this performance). Daniel Gildenlöw and his crew took the boat by storm... If you haven't check out their new album yet, you are missing out on a fantastic one!

Note: YouTube might tailor the quality according to your connection bandwidth, yet the whole thing can be watched at Ultra HD if you change the playback quality...

Awesome. Thanks for posting! That was a nice set.

[Adami]

Weird keyboard patch for that main melody in Full Throttle Tribe. Though maybe it was a mistake, but they kept using it.

[Phoenix87x]

I listened to In the passing light of day a bunch upon release, but didn't listen to it again until today. Hot damn this is a great album.

The honeymoon period is over, the new car smell has dissipated. All that's left is one damn fine album 

[MinistroRaven]

Your welcome.

Awesome set indeed

Yeah it didn't sound as good as the one on the album.

Was Zolberg drunk during this performance?

[Mebert78]

Random question, but is Oceans of Slumber no longer opening for PoS on this tour? The tickets said they were opening when I bought it, but the venue's website now says Next to None. I've seen Next to None before, so I was hoping for Oceans. Oh well.

They didn't play Texas either. Not sure if the band couldn't do the tour last minute.

[Crow]

finally actually spinning this & i'd say angels of broken things is def my least favorite, only track that doesn't do much for me at all

[Scorpion]

I don't get the indifference towards Angels of Broken Things that you guys are feeling. I really like it, it's one of my favorites actually.

It's not bad, the 2nd half is really good actually, but the first half just doesn't offer a ton.

[goo-goo]

Silent Gold is the weak track for me. I just can't get it.

[Adami]

Personally I just can't get into the title track.

At all. What an awful song.

[Crow]

wow

Fun treat at the show tonight, Mike Portnoy played drums for Ashes
