from the people that went to Progpower (and even the ones who didn't) what did you think of Pain of Salvation? When I was in the crowd I saw very mixed feelings so I wanted to know more or less where people stand.. :)
 
This is the second time I saw them at a ProgPower. I watched one song, and then went to drink and chat with friends. I own three of their discs, but can't say I listen to them all that often. Their good at what they do, I suppose. I'm just not enthralled by what they do.

The problem with PoS live is twofold. First, they lack stage energy. Second, so much of what they do is based on nuance, subtlety and dynamics. None of which come across well in a live setting. Add in that Brainstorm just blew the roof off the place before PoS took the stage, and it adds up to a less than intertaining show.

I am with Dargor on this one. Pain of Salvation is one of the very best bands out there. They are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! I actually watched their set with some of the guys from TM..... they were surprised by how much my sis and I loved them.
 
Ha ha ha.... well Dargor and I have had this conversation before and stand on opposite sides of the fence. I just don't "get" them. I respect them and their fanbase and know plenty of people who like them, but they aren't for me.
