Exactly.Demonspell said:I think One Hour is every bit as good as the two albums that followed, and while Entropia is the only one of their albums that strikes me as being a bit inconsistent and underdeveloped, there is some great material on it and it is highly original and eclectic for a debut album.
That's great to hear, SoundMaster. I too love the vaguely "nu-metal" verses of "Used" (though I've never heard a nu-metal song with such passion and power). And "Undertow" is a brilliant tune... the song is just one big crescendo.SoundMaster said:Well, to make a long story short, the "Perfect Element" appears to be a perfect album - even the rap-metal/nu metal verses of the opening tune. I NEVER thought I'd find myself enjoying such a thing.
Anyway, I found the "PE" so good, that I rushed out to pick up "Remedy Lane" this past Saturday. All I can say is that I find "RL" to be an even stronger album. I just cant stop listening to it! "Undertow" is, as of this moment, my fav tune by this apparently perfect band!!!
So, the next question is THIS:
- are the first two releases AS GOOD ?
I've read many reviews that compare "Entropia" (is that the correct title) to Faith No More. If so, I may have to overlook it as FNM suck, imo.
And what about "One Hour"? Is it as musically strong as the more recent releases?
ps.....Progmetalfan: you recemmended PoS a few months back, and for some reason I overlooked them!?!? Well, today....thanks!
POS are NOT about technical wankery. They are not a glorified power metal band. This is what makes them so great, they AREN'T like the rest of the copy cat "look how many notes I can play" prog metal bands out there.DreamingofUr said:I didn't like em so much before this thread was started but I decided to listen to Remedy Lane again and its pretty good now. It has its moments but I don't think the vocalist is in the same league as some power metal ones. As far as technical goes I don't think they come close to DT's but could get up there if they wanted to sacrifice their songwriting. Or maybe something blocked my mind from liking them after going to their site once and seeing the antiwar shit. Which I didn't like at all. My hats off to the solos in this album though, their great.

Well I'd tend to agree, but there are a few prog metal bands that are still actually making creative music, Pain of Salvation and Devin Townsend are the top two as far as I'm concerned.DreamingofUr said:I'm glad that they aren't about that because they wouldn't appeal to me in the least. I didn't say they were power metal but I did say that the vocalist's talents can't be compared to the awesome power metal ones. Someone had said that he is this and that and I think not. Copycats or not prog metal should die already. Hail prog rock!
Next time I'll yell.DreamingofUr said:Someone seemed to suggest on a talent scale and I believe those power metal guys I mentioned can do a whole lot with their voice. It can get old, no doubt about that, but there are a select few who just do it so perfect. I've heard him on Remedy Lane and I won't lie to myself and say its not good but I just can't stand his singing the same as so many other prog bands. I really like the raw sound of Vinnie's voice from Anathema and Roy Harper recently. So maybe I just need to come around but as for now I shant stand it in the least. Thx for not gettin hostile like so many of these morons get around here.
So who else do you think he sings like?I won't lie to myself and say its not good but I just can't stand his singing the same as so many other prog bands.
Lee may be, technically speaking, a 'good singer', but god-damn it, much like LaBrie, his excrutiatingly painful yelps & shrieks are murder on the ears.DreamingofUr said:Nobody will ever come close or top Geddy Lee!!
