Review of Scarsick by Pain of Salvation *


Nice Try!
Pain of Salvation is among the few progressive acts that I couldn’t recommend with a clear conscience.  Though there is some skill in playing this, Pain of Salvation has zero talent.  The reason I gave it a star is because they attempted to play complex music.  I like music simply if an effort is put into making it!  In this case, better to try and fail, than not to try at all.  I don’t understand what kind of sound Pain of Salvation is trying to achieve.  The vocalist opens his mouth, and within moments I am eager to take this out of the player.  It’s neither dorky nor cool nor funny.  I can’t even laugh at this!  Perhaps, someone who likes Disturbed could appreciate this.  However, though they are a progressive band, Pain of Salvation is not even as good as Disturbed.
