Pain Of Salvation Survivor 2017 - Road Salt Two - Round 1

[LordCost]

I wait to vote because I don't remember End Credits and Road Salt Theme at all.
Of Salt and Break Darling Break are in the bonus track round as usual.

I want Gridlock to win this survivor without much effort. I used to have Healing Now as second favourite but I don't like it much anymore and maybe The Deeper Cut can be my second one.
RS2 is my least favourite PoS album, not by much behind RS1.

Why would you want that?


My vote goes to Road Salt Theme. It's nice, but it has nothing more to offer than being an intro track.

i need to relisten to this one and remember what the songs sound like

Same.

It seems that the band likes The Physics Of Gridlock a lot since it's often played live. Two years ago they didn't do the encore and Gridlock was the closer. I think that for 90% of the crowd it wasn't an approproate closer, but I like that one. To me it's the best one of the two RS combined

[Elite]

Alright, to eachhis own. If I remember correctly Gridlock won the RS2 survivor 4 years back as well. It's not a bad song at all, but there's about 3-4 songs on RS2 that I like more than it.

Really underappreciated album, this one, by the way. It contains some great tracks!

After seeing them play Physics of Gridlock on Youtube, I think the French part works much better live than on the album. (In general, I think a lot of the songs on Scarsick and the Road Salts are better live.)

Yea, the production of Road Salt (man I can go on for a while on this one) really hurt the songs a ton. So I have no doubt that most of them sound better live.

the physics of gridlock is not even top 3 on the album tbh, it's too inconsistent
the "we're all longing to belong" part is great but the rest is ehh
top three should be the deeper cut, 1979, and to the shoreline ok

[Elite]

The Deeper Cut suffers a little from too much 'into the wild'. I prefer Mortar Grind if we're going for heavy songs on this record. I also like Softly She Cries a lot and Through the Distance is an incredible ballad-type song as well.

[Scorpion]

Healing Now is probably my favourite song on the album.

Went with End Credits.

I totally hate 1979 and To The Shoreline. I don't even known the name of the genre of To The Shoreline if there is one, but I don't want to listen anything similar. It's my least favourite PoS song almost definitely. I don't have arguments to put it as worst PoS song, I just hate that style/genre of the track.

The french part of The Physics of Gridlock is weird but I don't find any possible other weak section.

Those 4 songs are all on my top 6
Yes I never considered The Deeper Cut as top 2 because of the too much repeated "Into The Wild" but recently I enjoyed it a lot.
