Pain of Salvation thread, v.2 (merged)

[ClairvoyantCat]

I'm not talking about the mods really because they're just doing what they're supposed to, but I get to be a frustrated teenager for only a few more months.

In a few months you will grow up and be repulsed by the sight of them. 

[Fuzzboy]

I just don't think it has to be so black and white and why something like a music video can't be an exception. I suppose it's just more convenient to ban all nudity as opposed to looking through every single post and considering whether it's truly breaking the rules or not. Oh well. Just google the uncensored version and I'm sure you'll find it.

[ariich]

Basically it comes down to this: The video includes not just nudity but also sex. Regardless of the artististry or whatever, it would still be 18-rated (or whatever the equivalent is in the US) and therefore we cannot allow it on here because we have 13 year olds. It's as simple as that.

Now please get back on topic.

[TheVoxyn]

Can't you just ban all the 13-year olds?

[ariich]

Now please get back on topic.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Heyy I'm 16. Does that mean I can't see it either?

Oh yes um...on topic... um... BE is the best album.

[jonny108]

Haaa I'm 19  I can watch it  But yes BE is amazing.

[Fuzzboy]

As much as I was defending the tits a few posts back, I think it's too much. Seems like it's trying too hard to be edgy and whatnot. Daniel posted that he expected it to be taken off Youtube, so why even go through the hassle? It seems he's trying to cause a stir about censorship or something.

[ClairvoyantCat]

13 year olds?  Never! 

Anyway, I can understand the rule.  Maybe a little "sexual content" thing that hides the link and warns that one must be 18 or older to view?


Also, Scarsick is the best album. 

[Nick]

I'm 24, I love some fine looking tits, and BE is a horrible album and easily their worst.

I don't agree with this, it's purely Daniel's artistic vision and if youtube can't handle that it's their problem.  He only "expected" it to be censored so that's why he had the other video.

You can't like one and not the other.  

[ariich]

Heyy I'm 16. Does that mean I can't see it either?

Probably. You can watch the censored version though, which is basically the full video but with the sex scenes blurred.

I've only watched the censored version, but yeah it's a cool vid. I love the artistic style.

Oh yes um...on topic... um... BE is the best album.

Ohhhhh yes. One of my favourites ever.

[sonatafanica]

I myself don't like looking at tits

instead I tug my john thomas to the thought of praying before bed and going to church with blueberry pancakes in my belly and a ribbon on my hat.


also BE is not bad. not fantabulous, but not bad.

You like 12:5 better than Scarsick?   



The dislike for that album baffles me, honestly.  It's their most focused and mature album, and the lyrics are at their most poignant and powerful.

12:5 is really an amazing and unique album.

It's their most focused and mature album, and the lyrics are at their most poignant and powerful.  

Assuming you're talking about TPE, I totally agree.

[TheVoxyn]

I like all of them.

[Adami]

I like all of them.

Me too. They're all quite lovely.

[ClairvoyantCat]

I'm talking about Scarsick,

TPE has some strong aspects, focus isn't one of them.  

[TheVoxyn]

I'm glad we agree  .

I wouldn't call Scarsick more focused, just more simple. And musically it's far from focused; going from rap, to blues, to disco, to metal, to nu-metal, to atmospheric, to alternative, very unfocused.

Mmmm.  I think there are a lot of things going on there that don't need to be there, and there are a few too many tracks that I don't really care for immensly (title track, Ashes) though there are also some of their best songs.  It's probably my least favorite lyrical album of theirs, to be honest.  A lot of poetic "pain" and "crying" and etc. but I've nowhere to really place it, nothing to really relate it to save a few tracks ("Dedication", my favorite on the album.)

I wouldn't call Scarsick more focused, just more simple. And musically it's far from focused; going from rap, to blues, to disco, to metal, to nu-metal, to atmospheric, to alternative, very unfocused.

Dunno, I don't find the style of the music to make a real difference, as, to me, all of the songs have a very common identity as a Scarsick song, and there are many things that are present in all of them. 

[TheVoxyn]

I felt like your avatar when I read that you didn't like the title track.

[ClairvoyantCat]

That's what it's there for.  I may have said this before, but I feel like the title track is a collection of fantastic ideas thrown together in a way that doesn't really work.
