Pain of salvation was my favorite band for a couple of year, I discovered them rather early in their career actually, with the 'concrete lake' album. I actually remember when I bought that album, I've heard so much good about this swedish band in the press so I just went out an bought it. When I got home and listen to it, I first felt like I had wasted my money on crap, yes for real. But then after several attempts something happened, I understood what they are about, I got used to Daniels singing as well. With some bands you just need some extra time...
That was then. After that album they released two amazing albums - 'Perfect Element pt 1' and 'Remedy Lane'. Two of my all time favorite albums actually. Such a inspiring sound, such a fresh sound and arrangement. A band with their own unique sound.
After 'Remedy' it went downhill though, Daniel seemed to get a bit of hubris and went political. The music lost the magic of the earlier records and I stopped listen to the band. Thinking that I will never hear any good music from these guys again.
Now they have recorded a new album, and I'm glad to say that I'm really psyched about it. The songs I've heard are really good and fresh. Like it was in their prime. They have a more raw-ish 70's sound on this album and I must say that I like it. I hope that the whole album sounds like this, their new video:

Leia gillade låtarna här ovanför som du gjorde solot på! Började dansa och skaka på huvudet (på ett positivt sätt,hehe) på en gång.:) Vad tyckte du om Pain of salvations bidrag i melodifestivalen då? Säljer dom sig och har blivit folkliga nu?;)
Hälsa Leia att jag blev väldigt glad åt att höra detta.. Mina egna döttrar är oförskämt ointresserade av min musik, så det känns kul att höra att man åtminstone har ett fan där ute :o)
