I guess I can see some of the Korn comparison, but it is not very pronounced at all. You could have a good case for the guitar tone on some of the riffs, but that is being absurdly picky. Absurdly. The Korn influence just isn't there much at all, if at all. There is a very strong influence from Faith No More, on the other hand, and especially from Mike Patton's vocal stylings used in Faith No More. Of course, that's always been an influence in all of Pain of Salvation's music, but it is more prominent on this album than ever, and as of right now, Scarsick is definitely up there with Pain of Salvation's best albums, though I'm fairly certain that the lyrics are absolutely horrid. IGNORING THAT THOUGH, the music is top notch. It takes the most accessible portions of Pain of Salvation's sound and expands on them thoroughly. The music is just very, very tight. There are a lot of songs ranged from seven to eight minutes, but they never feel excessive. Everything still seems to end timely and finishes before you are sick of it. The only song that they push this rule on is on the final song, Enter Rain. Kingdom of Loss and Cribcaged takes the basic Pain of Salvation formula for ballads and tightens it to perfection. Both are a joy to listen to and are definitely two of their best ballads. Disco Queen is easily the greatest achievement Pain of Salvation will ever make. It is impossible for them to top what they created with that song. Impossible. Just a wonderful album, really. I can understand complaints about both America and Enter Rain, but any other complaints I simply will not allow!
Final edit: Also, if anyone wants to make the case that it simply isn't very progressive, then I will first ask you to give me a strict, universal definition of that term, then I will point to Disco Queen, say nothing else, and walk away.

All of that said, though, I'm almost 100% certain that it won't make my top ten of 2007. In fact, it doesn't have a fucking chance. BUT I LOVE PAIN OF SALVATION AND SCARSICK! OMG!!!1111

I still haven't downloaded, but the Scarsick track is up on myspace now, and I must admit, I love it compared to America.

yes tery bozzio is in korn now and I hope he brings his whole set on tour 
also Scarsick, not sure if it sounds like Korn, but it is boring and trite, especially from a band that ruled my life in the period from Entropia through the Perfect Element I.
PoS totally meh these days.

According to Korn.Simpol.Net, Terry Bozzio will fill in for KORN drummer David Silveria during his temporary hiatus from the band, Martini Republic reports.
Bozzio, 56, who is long considered one of the greatest drummers in rock history, will replace David Silveria for at least one studio album and tour.
According to Martini Republic, Silveria is taking time out from the band to maintain his restaurants — Tuna Town and Silvera's Steakhouse & Lounge — plus spend quality time with his family.
Bozzio has recorded with numerous musicians on hundreds of albums across the musical spectrum, including DURAN DURAN, STEVE VAI, PAUL HYDE, HERBIE HANCOCK, DWEEZIL ZAPPA, BILLY SHEEHAN, RICHARD MARX, MATSUMOTO HIDETO, and more.
KORN is currently writing and recording material for its eighth studio album. An MTV "Unplugged" performance taped last month will be broadcast and released on CD in February.

and about the singing comment, I've seen video footage with frank zappa where he's playing some ridiculous time signatures and singing lead perfectly so...
saw him with Fantomas a couple summers ago and it was unreal
