Oh my God… they think they’re better than those who listen to Avril Lavigne because they listen to niumetal (written just like that…)? What a bunch of idiots. Lavigne can’t sing, she’s on the same level as Britney Spears… But anyway, Slipknot will always disgust me even more… ah… a lost generation...

Unfortunately, since people take the internet so lightly, given the relative anonymity it provides, there is a higher proportion of idiots than the standard. People who give a 1 to lower the rating of a review. And the DT fans would be the idiots. I don’t go around giving a 1 to all the Slipknot reviews I see, I don’t express opinions on all the albums of light Italian music, and I don’t rate things I haven’t listened to. The DT have been one of the most important bands for my musical growth, for their excellent technique, yes, but also for the emotions they have been able to convey to me. They didn’t invent anything, and this is known when you start to build a musical culture by looking back in time, but that absolutely does not mean that they lack originality and creativity. This hatred towards the DT a priori, as towards any other band, is truly ridiculous, a demonstration of unparalleled childishness.

Well...it's from 8 months ago...unless they're atherosclerotic...

Space issues. Keep in mind that they would have had to include A Change Of Seasons, and for the same reason, they dismissed the idea. A double CD for a nearly debuting band was unthinkable!

...uhm...in the Dream Jordan has plenty of space! Only in Train of Thought was he sidelined, but in Scenes from a Memory, Six Degrees, and Octavarium, Jordan contributed quite a bit! Nice review, I’ve never listened to the album.

I believe they get detached and go into separate cases, or into a double-bottom case...

www painofsalvation com/sales htm add the 3 dots and you'll have like...;)
It depends on how much stuff you want to send, I don't think shipping costs are too high, it's always about Europe, and if you already buy 2 items, you save. I'm waiting to find out what the shipping costs amount to, unfortunately there isn't an order form on the site, everything has to be done by mail! Bah, absurd, last year I missed them twice... but Milan damn it... let's hope next time they at least come down to Rome!

So, One Hour By The Concrete Lake was the album that made me fall in love with PoS... but albums like The Perfect Element PT:1 really get inside you... it's an introverted, dark album that offers endless emotions... it's just less immediate than the other one. I recommend both, whether you want to download them or purchase them. If you prefer the legal route, I suggest buying them from their official website, where they sell them all for 10-12 euros O____O

Certainly, without a doubt, Pain Of Salvation are a band that has originality and the emotions they manage to convey as their strengths, despite being equipped with excellent technique. This album embodies the "progressive" spirit to a great extent. It is not a metal album, nor is it a folk album or a gospel album, but it is all of those things. Unfortunately, it is difficult to understand and assimilate... I find it a step below Remedy Lane and The Perfect Element in terms of emotions, for example... those albums are absolute milestones of the progressive metal genre, standing alongside Operation: Mindcrime, Images and Words, etc. Perhaps the problem with BE is precisely its enormously ambitious idea... Anyway, no one doubts that it is a masterpiece...
PS: Come on, they're mixing Scarsick ;)

Well Vin... I agree on the undeniable quality of the album, but saying that 30 years from now it will be remembered as a masterpiece at this level... not that I wouldn’t be pleased to tell the youth of that time: "I was there, hahaha, you weren't, hahaha!" just to be clear!
