I like PoS, I think they are brilliant. They are quite depressing though, The Perfect Element Pt I is probably the most disturbing of their albums. Or maybe it's just me?
Do you like Pain of Salvation?

"Used" is a brilliant song... The furious solo and the escalating tension make it great. A very dark and dirty song. Love it.karelrulez said:

...that was the first PoS song i heard....the solo has a George Lynch/Lynch Mob self titled era guitar tone that I love.

I must be the only POS fan who counts it among their least favorites, and it actually prevented me from further investigating the band for a while...I enjoy the guitar solo and the chorus, but the rest is one of the few times their experimentation results in annoyance.

The start of the song has a real Faith No More vibe too it.....and Faith No More were fucking the coolest...so i liked it straight off.
I hated it the first time I heard it, but after a few spins it all becomes clear. the 'raps' are great and what about the ending

Oh, that ending is just a cacophony of rage. And the "raps" are incredible... sure, maybe it sounds a little bit like nu-metal... but Pain of Salvation pulls it off with much more aplomb than any nu-metal band. It works well to convey the feelings of the protagonist.karelrulez said:I hated it the first time I heard it, but after a few spins it all becomes clear. the 'raps' are great and what about the ending
I like the 'nu-metal' in POS.. but I think it's more like funk-metal. The funk on 'Entropia' is awesome, People Passing By has an awesome slap bass.

I love them... Seriously, Since my boyfriend introduced me to their music, I can't pass one day without listening something from them... I can get too emotional, so sad or so happy... It deppends on the situation...
One of the best bands on earth, and one of my favorites

One Hour by the Concrete Lake is probably my least favorite... but it is still essential for the Pain of Salvation fan...
Entropia, TPE and Remedy Lane are all equally great for me, but no matter what I do, I can't get into OHBTCL, maybe it's also because of the weak production.
I thought Entropia came before One Hour.. but why does Entropia sound good and One Hour not?

I really love Pain of Salvation. One of my best friends said he doesn't like them, because they would only make so freaky music to draw attention to them and it would be way to complicated a.s.o., but he listens to Soulfly and Static X, so I don't care...
I think Pain of Salvation is the band that best express certain feelings through their music and it perfectly fits to their lyrics. And the sicker the lyrics are, the sicker is the music. Especially Perfect Element I. You can't write music about those lyrical themes but grunting through the whole album or rappin like linkin park or singin like Stratovarius while repeating the same 4-chord-4/4-time-signature-guitar-riff 16ths over and over again. It has to fit to the circumstances and Daniel Gildenlöws knows when to use wich stile. And that's why PoS rule *g*
