To no-one's surprise, PoS release a new album that sounds yet again different. Of course it's melodramatic, of course Daniel is in the spot-light, of course it's progressive - the core is the same (and not breached this time, mind you). And thankfully, it's one of the truly progressive albums of the year, which is evident by the rap-leaning t/t, the heavy procession of guitars, synth-ladden compositions and sound effects, which are not strange to progressive metal, but in no way are considered the classic formula. Make no mistake, though, strange polyrythms, unconventional song structures and long compositions are still there, so it's truly an album that will please most fans. Apart from the devisive cover art (hello Blacksad, didn't expect to see you here), the only complain would be the simplicity of some of the lyrics, which gives an uneven result. It's nice that Daniel can support his content, however (in various interviews he explains thoroughly his thinking), and it's good to see that penning lyrics is not on auto-pilot, as is the case for many bands of the genre.

It seems to be a theme for me this year? bands I'm not really all that into releasing albums that have surprised me in the best possible way. Pain of Salvation is another one of those bands that I've enjoyed in bits and pieces, but overall I'm not a huge fan. I don't know if PANTHER will change my overall opinion of the band, but there's no denying the quality found here. I love the twitchy rhythms and riffs, and the keyboards are definitely unique within the prog genre. The poignant lyrics are also a huge draw for this band. My biggest hurdle is always the vocals. This particular go-around, I'm on board.

An amazing album. PoS have changed again, and for the better. The fresh new take on electronics and moods is nothing short of brilliant. A strange yet beautiful piece of music.

Epic album. Super different and just very unlike anything I have heard before. Definitely will meed more listens to sink in properly, but I emjoyed it a lot. A lot of rhythmical complexity and beyond that minimalistic. Daniel as usual with PoS takes the spotlight with his vocals.
