SMH...You just dont get it. There is nothing simple about Pain of Salvation. You find the weakest examples of their music, call them soft or not intense, verify your "knowledge by pointing out WHERE " IE; they use rap like vocals, blah blah blah...how many "Rap" songs do they actually do? Use this 9 months to listen to the entire discography and form some kind of bond with the music and a better understanding before you just shit in my mouth with your strange, inane observations which are totally off base.
The original thing I said about his rap-like vocal sections were that they were the weakest part of the music. He thankfully doesn't do it very much on remedy lane, so you are right, that the majority of the performance will be good stuff.
If I remember not liking something about a band, then how is that shitting in your mouth... lol. You do have the right to ignore me.
What do you not like about PoS?
I listen to their music often and I'm sure I'll further change perspective about it over time. Some of my favorite bands / albums don't age the same ways. The things that start to stand out can be minor or major problems - pain of salvation doesn't have any major problems on Remedy Lane, but it's also a band that is moving away from what I like about their earlier work. I was curious what the set list may have on Wednesday.
Any band should put out the music they are inspired to create. If I don't like it, that won't matter to them. They'll just switch to different kinds of fans and hopefully that works for them.
What else are we supposed to talk about on a thread about Remedy Lane if not what we think about the music? I'm trying to be critical of what I don't like and mentioning what I do like.
I'm not very experienced writing about music. Maybe you have put more work into that. In every industry, the people develop a set of terminology, and learning how to use that terminology correctly will change how others accept your feedback or not. Sometimes you might try to challenge the group to inspire debate or conversation by challenging them to fight back. I'm not sure if I did that, but you make it sound like I did. If everyone agrees a band is perfect, that's kind of boring. No band is perfect. I'm not very good with music critique terminology, but I know what I like about prog music and Pain of Salvation does more right, then wrong.
