Hey Sprucey

[Spiff]

I think I finally get Pain of Salvation now. Great band!

Only took me three years!

 

[Winmar]

Please recommend some songs to download so I can check them out too. Short-ish ones if possible.

 

[Spruce Goose]

What took ya so long?

And what finally did it for ya? Any particular album. They are an acquired taste I agree but once you 'Get' them.... they are fuckin brilliant. Daniel Gildenlow is such a special talent. One of the greatest voices ever not to mention his guitar work and his general song writing ability

Winny. Try these ones:

Heavier Tracks:
A Trace of Blood
Used

Softer Tracks:
This Heart of Mine
Undertow
Iter Impius

More Industrial Type Tracks:
Ashes

More Proggy Type Tracks
People Passing By (One of my favorites)
King of Loss

 

[Spruce Goose]

Oh... And Dryad of the Wood is a sweet ass instrumental.

But it is hard to get into individual songs I reckon... You need to get the full album to have the full impact. Go with Remedy Lane of The Perfect Element. Always available on Amazon

 

[Sydo]

Ending Theme. ENDING THEME!

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah. Thats a great song, but I think it works brilliantly as the opener for Remedy Lane.. Might not make much sense without the rest??

Every single song on RL is awesome in my opinion

 

[The Amazer]

"Ending theme makes a great opener"

that just sounds weird.

 

[Spruce Goose]

haha. Yeah... I guess it does sound weird to POS n00b's who have never heard Remedy Lane

 

[KoichCPA]

POS are fucking shit.

Pseudo-intellectual garbage.

 

[Spruce Goose]

You're shit. You don't have to like em, but that doesn't make them shit.

 

[KoichCPA]

Yes it does

 

[Spruce Goose]

Ahh fuck.. Sorry dude. I forgot that your opinion is the only one that matters.

My mistake

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I have been putting off giving this band a chance for a while now, I can't even afford the cds and stuff of bands I already like! I will give them a chance later in the year...or something.

 

[KoichCPA]

Don't worry about it Jordy, you are far too manly for this band.

 

[Spiff]

Sprucey, it was while I was listening to The Perfect Elephant at work yesterday when I thought, "Hang about, this stuff rule!". Then I listened to Remedy Lane, which was pretty good (and quite King For A Day-era Faith No More-ish in places, which I had listened to earlier in the day), and 12-5, which was tops as well. Then I listened to Be today for the first time, even though I bought the album ages ago, and it was quite good... but MUCH different to the other stuff.

Still gots ta get Entropy and whatever other albums there are. Shall do that this year some time.

Its later in the year.... Got any albums yet?

 

[Sydo]

Ending Theme. ENDING THEME!

 

[Spruce Goose]

[Blitzkrieg]

Hah. Not yet. I haven't bought cds for a while though. All my money is currently going to paying off debt, and my girlfriends 21st presents. They are high on the list for summer, though.

 

[Spruce Goose]

I shall resurrect this thread when Summer is in full bloom then
