    I dunno. I like it because even though they are playing heavy and
    progressive, it doesn't sound too progressive on the first listen, but it
    opens much deeper the more you do listen to it. Listen to the first few
    minutes of "Home" (the PoS song on One Hour...) -- You've got bass & drums
    repeating a riff in 5, while the piano plays a melody in 7 over it and
    drives the chord changes. That simple pulse in 5 is the same as the
    opening guitar riff in "Water" (the previous song) and also appears in a
    few other places. That kind of thing happens all over the place on this
    album., and that's why I thing PoS is a great band.

    Oh, and just so your flamesuit doesn't feel wasted, you're a complete
    fucking moron. You dare do disagree with me, therefore you have the brains
    of an ass (not the animal, the body part) :) (yes, this was a JOKE)

    The production is better on "The Perfect Element" but if you don't like
    Daniel's voice, you're kind of out of luck. He sings, plays guitar and
    (pretty much) writes all of the music and lyrics, so he's the main force of
    the band.

    <DIV></DIV>&gt;I was very excited to see that my shipment from CDNow came today, containing
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;the following:
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;* Pain of Salvation - "Entropia"
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;* Pain of Salvation - "One Hour by the Concrete Lake"
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;* Soilwork - "A Predator's Portrait"
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;<FLAMESUIT>
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;I popped in OHbtCL and, after listening for a good 30 minutes, I must say I
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;am pretty disappointed. Many of you guys hailed PoS like they were the
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;goddamn second coming of DT. Shame on you - not even close! The production
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;is bad (listen to that snare!), and the singer's voice, which was raved
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;about by pretty much everybody, is nothing special. These guys sound like
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;they are playing progressive and heavy JUST TO PLAY PROGRESSIVE AND HEAVY.
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;Nothing inspired; nothing caught me off guard. Music like this is SUPPOSED
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;to catch you off guard. I haven't listened to "Entropia" yet, but I'm not
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;expecting much, especially because it predates OHbtCL, therefore the
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;production will probably be worse. I don't doubt the talent of these guys,
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;but the singer and engineer need to get their shit together before I will
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;listen again. How is the production on their latest album?
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;</FLAMESUIT>
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;Now, Soilwork's disc is an entirely different story - these guys are tight!
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;Very impressive. They sound very much like Nevermore TRY to sound like...
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;:)
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;So, anyway, for those of you still interested, my two PoS discs are up for
    <DIV></DIV>&gt;sale - $9 a pop. Brand new today...

    First off this kind of music needs more than one listen, just like all great music.
    PoS are not immediate band, you time to spend more time with the CD's.

    Second, if you'd bothered to listen properly and for more than 30mins you hear
    that the production is very good indeed. And that there are different snare sounds
    throughout the album. With a number of songs having a different snare sounds to suit the song.

    Actually Entropia is a great album and a lot of PoS fans like it better than Concrete Lake.
    So again before mouthing off, at least give it a chance.

    Bottom line you are entitled to not like PoS, but you haven't really given them a chance.
    They play a different kind of prog metal, so maybe you just aren't used to their style.

    > Now, Soilwork's disc is an entirely different story - these guys are tight!

    > :)

    They sound nothing like Nevermore, try In Flames, but they are a tade more trashier.
    Great album though.

        So 'dis guy, Brian Hansen, he sez ta me...

    >>That would be ironic. My guess is that you're not
    talking about the same people though. People who love
    boots will probably pick up the official, live release
    too. On the other hand, maybe someone will want to
    argue the "fuckwit" case.

        Well, I definitely aimed that at those who used the fact that they
    owned boots with similar setlists to justify not buying the official
    release. We all know why that is unacceptable, so no need in rehashing
    it here. I myself enjoy boots that offer something out of the ordinary.
    I have the Scenes From Connecticut boot, which is identical to what was
    played the following night at the Roseland, but in no way could that be
    a viable substitute to the official live album. My balls tingle in
    anticipation...

    >>Agreed. I'm not a boot fan (as opposed to a booty
    fan). And you're correct, I'd much rather see a
    beautiful ass than hear it...

        Actually, one of my ex's had a nice looking *and* sounding ass. She
    could fart the entire Mikado on request. Heh, heh...I always had her
    beat with my hyper-lethal Dutch Oven, though.

    >>Hmmm. I think you're right there. If "fan" is really
    short for "fanatic", some of us must not be fans. But
    we still like them a lot. ;)

        I was using the term "fan" rather loosely, so yeah, I guess I meant
    to say "for people who like them a lot..."

    Well, I guess that's the main part of what I was saying. People keep
    complaining about the inexplicably low sound quality on this DVD, and
    I'm wondering if Atlantic *planned* that to insure sales of the live
    triple CD. That's the only reason I personally might buy it.

    Well, you may not like Gildenlow as a singer, and
    that'll probably whisk you right out of PoS land
    altogether, but...

    1) Entropia is one of the greatest things ever
    recorded.

    2) All the more stunning since it's their first album
    (and, yes, I too make the assumption that bands get
    better with time, so I shied away from Entropia at
    first too). Big mistake.

    3) I've to say, I love Entropia and TPE, but I DON'T
    like Concrete Lake. It's simply too dark and brooding
    to me. Entropia's got all the funk and jazzy stuff,
    and so, really, does their latest, but OHbtCL just
    seems to be the band at a reall, dark, low place.
    Can't blame you there at all.

    4) What's with me numbering everything?

    5) PoS is NOT my favorite band, but I have NEVER seen
    a live performance from anyone like the one they
    pulled off at ProgPowerUSA. DT's very good live, but
    they're not even in the ballpark, and I think that
    others that were there might back me up on that.

    Anyway, DON'T trade Entropia until you listen at least
    once. It hit me like a ton of bricks and that was
    after I'd already been let waaaay down by OHbtCL.

    Mike

    its good to hear a lot of positives about POS.
    this is a great prog band, definately in the top 5 IMO.

    i recommend all to check out track one from the perfect element too.
    its no wonder why fans outside of prog like this group.
    a tune like that just never seems to get boring. not even close.

    Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.3.96.1010606231729.5809A-100000@sparcy.geneva.edu>

    hey there jammers,
            the time has come to bring to your attention two fantastic guitar
    albums that i recently picked up. Michael Schenker's "The Odd Trio", and
    Tony Palacios' "Epic Tales of Whoa!" first, let's start with the
    schenker......
            "The Odd Trio" appears right off the bat to be something totally
    uncharacteristic of what we've come to expect from michael over the past
    several albums. it, like the last few, is completely instrumental.
    however, whereas the last couple of albums, namely "Adventures Into the
    Imagination" & "Dreams and Expressions" were very lead-oriented (meaning
    lots of riffage & crazy soloing, weird breaks & times, etc.), this album
    tends to lend itself more to a groove-feel, with schenker holding back on
    some of the more extrenuous soloing for the sake of layering some really
    nice melodies & harmonies, both acoustic & electric. as before, it's only
    a trio (hence the name), with Harry Cobham on bass (never heard of him,
    but he's fantastic), and Kathy Brown on drums. this album is just a solid
    rock 'n roll instrumental, and shows a more groove-oriented, rhythm
    playing style of schenker. very tasty.

            now moving on to tony palacios. for those of you that have never
    heard of him, you NEED to check him out. he is by far one of the most
    inspired players i have ever heard, and "Epic Tales of Whoa!" displays
    this inspiration with flying colors. this album is a collection of so
    many different styles of playing, ranging from jazz, blues, ballad, world,
    to some Vai & Satch influences as well. i would say there's several
    glimpses of Steve Morse here as well. for you guitarists out there, as
    well as those that just eat guitar-instrumentals up at every chance, this
    is one of the most passionately played, inspired, and heartfelt collection
    of notes i've heard in a long, long time. this comes from one who owns
    every satch, vai, johnson, schenker, moore, schon, beck, & sheetz album
    out there. i haven't heard anything this refreshing in years. get up
    from the computer, get in the car, and get this now. you'll never regret
    it, promise.

            that's my review for the week. enjoy. in the next couple of
    days, i'll be snagging the new Sherinian disk, "Inertia". i've heard a
    couple tracks off of it, and it impressed the shit out of me. it's
    nothing like the previous two solo efforts. the line-up on the album is:
    Sherinian - Keys
    Zakk Wylde - Guitar
    Steve Lukather - Guitar
    Tony Franklin - Bass
    Simon Phillips - Drums
            and i say again, holy shit. has anyone else on the jam checked
    this disk out yet? what's it like all the way through? it really sounds
    like it explores a TON of different styles, but wondered if there were any
    other thoughts on it before i get it. that, as well as the "Niacin"
    project, with:
    John Novello - Hammond B3
    Billy Sheehan - Bass
    Dennis Chambers - Drums
            can't wait to see what they're all about. there will most
    certainly be reviews once they've been good & listened too. peace out.

                                            -ryften

    Yes, but the $25 price tag is new as of '99. Before that it was $15 and
    probably cheaper early on. I would be satisfied with a $12-$15 fanzine.
    That is about $4 a pop.
    The $25 for just the fanzines is fucking ridiculous. I mean you can get a
    subscription to any magazine $5-$10+ less for a 12 months.
    Anyway...

    They are like DT in that everyone seems to have a different opinion of their various releases! I think the "The Perfect Element" is one of the best recordings ever, a pure 10/10. As for OHBtCL, I would probably be disappointed if that was my first listen to PoS. It's the least accessible of their recordings, IMHO. I tend to appreciate OHBtCL, but I don't love it like TPE.

    As for Entropia, that would be my second favorite PoS. Much easier to get into. You better pop that puppy in, and take out OHBtCL right now!

    > Shame on you - not even close!

    Well, if you're taking about TPE, I like it just as much as I&W and Awake.

    > The production is bad (listen to that snare!),

    Ah, a drum fanatic. Sorry, I never paid any attention to the miking or mix of the drummer. I hadn't noticed any production problems. I tend to listen more to the guitar and vocals.

    > I haven't listened to "Entropia" yet, but I'm not expecting much.

    That's good. You were probably suffering from overhype before your first listen to OHBtCL anyway. Better to not know what to expect, than to hear everyone rave first.

    Now I may be suffering from overhype! I better check these guys out asap...

    I bought this recently, and was very disappointed. I suppose I was also a victim of excessive hype.

    These guys are nowhere near DT, either in terms of musicianship or songwriting ability. Not even close. The guitar playing is sloppy and the songs all blur together and sound the same. Too repetitive.

    It's not the first time. I'm the "normal" Graham from Scotland who doesn't like PoS. The other Graham is the one from Australia who likes PoS, dresses in pink, and goes by the name of "Daisy" at weekends.

    It's quite easy to tell us apart, really... I live in sunny Australia. He lives in miserable Scotland. He likes the Backstreet Boys. He is also president of the George Michael international fan club. He showers once a month. He goes by the name of 'Brucie' on weekends and dresses up in Rob Halford's old leather stage gear.

    Other than that we are very similar :)

    Personally I would have much prefered that to the CD we just got, unless of course there wasn't enough material to put on a CD, or Mike was too busy with a DVD, Transatlantic CD and two kids.
