Your favorite album - Pain of Salvation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Taking a look at the great Swedish prog metal/prog rock/folk rock/however you classify them Pain of Salvation, a very intriguing and different band that is quite well-known and appreciated in the prog spheres, active from the mid-80s, when Daniel Gildenlow was just a teenager, but releasing their very first studio record in 1997.

So, the question is the usual one: Which album of their is your preferred one? And why?

I expect that 'Remedy Lane' or 'The Perfect Element' will get the most votes; and for me it's a tie between these two plus 'BE' and 'In the Passing Light of Day', which is why I will start off with a vote for the band's excellent 2017 album.

	just revisited their discography recently, not the biggest fan of prog-metal-by-the-numbers of early albums... and then my gawd, BE, a so-bad-its-even-entertaining kind of album in my book. But everything starting from Scarsick is either good or very good tho, so here's my top: 1. Panther 2. Road Salt One & Two 3. In the Passing Light of Day 4. Scarsick 5. Entropia 6. One Hour by the Concrete Lake 7. The Perfect Element, Part I 8. Remedy Lane 99. BE

	BE without a vote? That has to be corrected. So it's BE. Edited by Libor10 - March 18 2021 at 00:40
