This is not a 4.3, was definitely not a 4.5, and could just barely be a generous 4. The dust will settle and this'll slump down to a 3.8.

It's ok actually, reminds me of Mars Volta in places which is unpleasant but elsewhere there's some nice enough stuff here

'Reasons' is possibly the worst song I've heard in the past ten years though, so avoid that one folks

Many years have passed since Pain Of Salvation debut album. Those who are accustomed with my reviews knows I'm a great fan of them. Pain Of Salvation always was a break band, different from the other bands. After their four first great studio albums, especially The Perfect Element and Remedy Lane, their next releases never were consensual. Be is a very dificult album to digest, one of the most chalenging proposals ever made. Scarsick is one of the most controversial albums ever made in the recent years. Road Salt albums never achieved the quality and the brilience of their previous works. So, it's with great expectations that we fans of the band waited for this new release, especailly due the hiatus of time, 6 years, of their previous album. Thi is even more true due to Daniel's health problems.

I don't had the opportunity to listen to the album yet, but only a couple of tracks. But from what I read, it seems that it represents a return of the good old times of the band, a return to the more heavy stuf with with a very dry and dark mix, certainly a reflex of Daniel's health problems.

So, one of these days, when I have time, this will be one of first listenings.

Good review, jalexander. Pos.

POS is a band whose albums take a long time to properly digest. Judging their albums based on a couple of listens is pointless

I like Leo, but Johans absence is really felt on this album,as is the absence of Fredrik.

Fredrik is missed, indeed. Daniel has some really large shoes to fill, as does Gustav (Krisstofer was one of the best things that happened to PoS)

Agreed Myth, they haven't been able to fill the Kristoffer void since Be.

I just discovered he has released two solo albums. I've heard only the song Rust, a bit cheesy, but nice overall..

"Finished it. I respect if others like it put I personally don't. The album 'feels' very pretentious too."



I think just about every musical artist is pretentious to a degree. I mean, they think what they have to say is so important that they make a song for all the world to hear. Name me one band that isn't at least a little pretentious...

Interesting to hear people had to sit on this for awhile. This was the most immediate POS album I've ever heard.
