[cookiecutter]

I can't believe no one has made the obvious PoS joke yet.

 

[Matt]

Pieice of Shit?

 

[cookiecutter]

Yeah. I didn't want to make it because I don't know if they were bad or not, but many insulting posts went by without its use.

 

[CF87]

Is PoS even metal? What I heard of "Be" sounded like some children's nursery rhyme.

What I have heard from them was not metal.

not to mention awful

Be is not very heavy - One Hour by the Concrete Lake is.

Entropia through The Perfect Element are undeniably metal, Remedy Lane is kind of half/half, BE is like 75/25, and who knows what Scarsick'll be like, their descriptions make it sound like it will be more metal.

Shit, it's not the metal they do well.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Idiots, the lot of you. Pain of Salvation rules.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

is there a pos song that has the lyrics something like "now is the time, now is the place...blah blah"......what is this song im thinking of?

 

[Varg Vikernes]

Pain of Salvation is an absolutely worthless, pretentious, and all arond atrocious band.

Coming from someone who is obviously a fan of Varg I find that laughable.

 

[Varg Vikernes]

My name is an absolute parody. I'm not even that huge of a Burzum fan.

 

[Mort Divine]

Ah, I see then. I really wouldn't call the band pretentious, as much as I would Daniel. Also worthless and atrocious, hardly they are a unique band in a subgenre of metal that spews out little other than Dream Theater clones, you can dislike the music and even the musicians but realize they are not worthless and atrocious.

 

[Varg Vikernes]

In a little more depth, they are NO better than any other awful, pretentious, and overblown prog-metal band around. They have average talent, very poor songwriting skills, mediocre lyrics, decent arrangements, and completely unorginal melodies. Their songs drag on for far too long, and usually to no decent end. They are boring to tears.

And, yes, I have heard The Perfect Element and Remedy Lane in their entireties.

They have fantastic talent, song writing skills are very high (you don't hear Dream Theater writing songs that actually have as much emotion in them as A Trace of Blood), lyrics I don't have much to disagree with there, I love the arrangements, and the melodies work perfectly, for the fact that they serve a purpose in the songs other than to just be there waiting for the band to solo like hell over them. They have very short songs in comparison to most other Prog. bands with an average song length of five minutes and thirty seconds.

 

[entanglement]

I like Pain of Salvation. Be was good.

I don't like Dream Theater, so stop comparing them. It doesn't matter if they're songs are short relative to prog standards. A song can be 4 minutes and be too long if it isn't doesn't hold the listener's attention. Likewise a 10 minute song can be too short if it leaves you hanging.

 

[Mort Divine]

I wasn't saying you like Dream Theater, I'm just saying that it is stupid to say that PoS possesses poor song writing skills.

 

[Matt]

I think that DT writes better songs than PoS.

No it's not, since it's a matter of opinion.
