Pain of Salvation thread, v.2 (merged)

[wolfking]

I don't think there's any fail when it comes to POS rankings, each album is a MUSIC WIN!!!

[pogoowner]

Nice to see Nick returning to his classic levels of fail.

At least he's correct when it comes to the most important point, that BE is far and away the worst.

[ariich]

No, that was by far the biggest feature of his fail.

[LadyEars]

Not this.

I just came here to post that I can't get enough of Second Love. Been spinning it a couple of times tonight, and played it on guitar too.

That's interesting since a few others hate on it so hard (Darkes, I think).  I've been spinning RL a lot lately and "Second Love" is one of my favorites from it.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Back to the what to start with conversation. I actually started with Remedy Lane and didn't like it. I found it bland. When I tried The Perfect Element I loved it. My current favourite is BE by a longshot but thats not really a starting album as it's pretty different for them.

Apart from the fact that it's a "pop" song made by a prog band, I don't really the problem with it.

Does not compute.

Didn't see the this thread earlier. Obligatory album ranking:

RL=TPE1 >
Be >
OHBTCL=Entropia >
RS1 >
Scarsick

Oh yeah. And 'Beyond the Pale' beats 'The Perfect Element' in the battle of the closers. That is all.

Agreed here. Remedy Lane isn't one of my favourites from them, but wow thats an amazing closer.

[Arcaeus]

Used remains my favorite metal song of all time.

Just professing my love for it once more.

[Adami]

Just curious, how do you all pronounced Used?

Do you do it like, "She used me" or "Getting used to pain"?

[wolfking]

I always think of the first one, I think it works better as a song title.

[Gadough]

Ditto.

[Adami]

Me too. I wonder how DG pronounces it.

[Arcaeus]

I pronounce it as the former, but considering how it's used (olol) in the context of the song I'd imagine it's the latter. Oh well.

[faemir]

I bet he pronounces it the former.

Anyone who says the word Used on it's own in the latter way is just stupid.

[Adami]

Well that's just mean.

[Gadough]

He's right though.

[Adami]

He's right though.

So? It's still poopy.

[petrucci07]

I think he'll probably go for the double meaning thing.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

I bet he pronounces it the former.

Yeah, simply saying "yoost" just seems weird. 

[Lynxo]

12:5 and BE was my first PoS CD's actually. After hearing a sample of the song ! from Entropia, that was quite a shock.

PoS was always like Opeth to me - they took a while to get used to. (USED OLOL!) But once you're sucked in, there's no sucking out...

...wait wat?

That being said, older PoS is far superior to new PoS. And this video proves it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqszACV4I40 - People Passing By with Johan Langell and Kristoffer Gildenlöw. The only thing missing from this video is Johan Hallgren's bare chest.

Still love them though. And it's worth saying again - Daniel Gildenlöw is HOT! GOD DAMN!!!

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

By newer, I suppose you're pertaining to Scarsick and RS?

[Lynxo]

Yeah, I do. I enjoy the CD's, I really do. But I'm getting a way different vibe from those two records than what they did in the past.

Before anyone uses that card, yes, they are progressive, constantly changing. I have no problem with that. But there was a certain magic with those earlier records that now are gone.

They're still awesome, though. Sisters, if nothing else, proves that.

[wolfking]

I'm quite bored, so I typed in Daniel Gildenlow in google images and look who came up at the bottom left....WTF!!!

[shadowfex]

Also, Kevin Moore top left.

[wolfking]

Also, Kevin Moore top left.

LOL.  I believed you there for a second.

[faemir]

I miss this setup ;_;

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

I miss his long hair.

[wolfking]

I miss this setup ;_;

One guy here just doesn't seem to fit, I can't put my finger on it.

[Arcaeus]

Why the fuck does Hallgren have clothing

[Gorille85]

Why the fuck does Hallgren have clothing

Probably to increase the effect when he removed them.

[Gadough]

That actually makes sense

[bodiesinflight]

So...PoS playing in UK in November...
