Terrific, unique.
Pain of Salvation is one of progressive metal’s most promising bands. While I consider myself a pretty big fan, I think The Perfect Element (Part I) is their only album that deserves five stars. Entropia was extremely original and mostly solid, but much the album’s experimentation was too esoteric for its own good. One Hour By The Concrete Lake was an improvement, with better songs overall, but it was more straightforward progressive metal and it lacked the striking originality of Entropia. Clearly, a balance had to be achieved.With The Perfect Element, PoS has refined their sound, synthesizing the remarkable uniqueness of Entropia and the stronger songcraft of One Hour. Gone are the awkward herky-jerky musical passages, the needlessly embellished vocals, and turgid lyrics. Here, everything works. No, it’s not perfect. But it’s damn good.The band’s nature is very eclectic, for they change musical bearing unpredictably. The first tract, “Used,” best exemplifies this. It begins with the harrowing coupling of heavy guitars and synths, with vocalist Daniel Gildenlow’s dark, fierce intonations. With the chorus, the song undergoes a complete change as it suddenly shifts into a harmonious melody with sharply contrasting “lighter” vocals. (Sound familiar, PoS fans? It’s like “!” from Entropia, but better.) “Used” is a pretty extreme example, for the rest of the album is more cohesive from song to song, but the fundaments of this versatile approach remain intact. For those who are new to PoS, this might sound almost annoying. Let me aver that the polarizing course of the music is one of its greatest merits. Why? Because the they does it incredibly well. When a band can blend so many musical ideas so seamlessly and naturally, it’s definitely stunning.More so than any other Pain of Salvation record, this one has the most equal balance of strident heaviness and balladry. Soft piano leads, clean electric and acoustic guitars are used as often as heavy guitar riffery. This dichotomy may irk those who favor the aggression to ballads, but this album is best thought of as a whole (it is a concept album, after all). In that respect, the balanced qualities work well.Daniel Gildenlow’s vocals have improved much since One Hour By The Concrete Lake. He still reveals some weaknesses in the higher octaves, but he seems to have a better understanding of his strengths and weaknesses. He has also improved his lyricism. On previous albums they were almost silly in their gaudiness, but now they are just plain good. The poetic aptitude he shows in conveying this deeply emotional story about childhood is markedly impressive. As for the concept itself, it is extremely obscure, but this ensures that a lot of time will be spent unraveling this intricate story. For those listeners who don’t care much about the lyrics, the album can be enjoyed simply by riding on the dynamic musical waves…The album’s only fault is its production. PoS’ sound contains myriad textures, many of which are difficult to dissect because the production splatters everything into a blob of keyboards and guitars. The guitar tone often makes it difficult to distinguish individual notes. When Gildenlow sings softy with a dense background of instrumentation, his words can be unintelligible. Similarly, when multiple vocal lines are concurrently sung, making out individual words his needlessly hard. The production is imperfect, for certain, but in other ways the band has never sounded better. The keyboards in particular sound stronger, and the crunching guitars are more raucous, and the vocals are strikingly visceral.In the end, the production doesn’t detract from the listening experience too much, because it is so strong on the whole. Hopefully, The Perfect Element Part II will retain all of this one’s merits and tweak the production.(Final note: If you see this in a store, don’t get apprehensive about the band’s photo on the back. Sure, they look like Korn or some other “nu metal” band, but the looks are where the similarities end. Enjoy!)

Incredibly Diverse Album!
The latest from Pain of Salvation is nothing short of a masterpiece. It has all the elements of a great concept album: mood-altering passages, memorable melody lines, excellent musicianship, and recurring musical themes. This album shares familiar elements with Queensryche’s Operation Mindcrime, Dream Theater’s Metropolis Part II, and Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Yet, as a whole, it is nothing like any of those. The Perfect Element I is truly, an original effort from a very talented group of musicians. This one should stay in your CD player for a long time!

Overdone
I really like Pain of Salvation, especially “One Hour…”, but I disagree with the review previous to this one. I found that this album, as opposed to “One Hour…” was insanely overdone and as a result the emotional and artistic messages are much less straightforward and a lot of good ideas are lost in the storm of “too much.” The songs, in my opinion, feel somewhat akward to me, as if certain things were put together just to have them both in one song. I find this very disappointing, because I though that the songs on “One Hour…” were some of the finest I’ve ever heard. Daniel Gildenlow, in his zeal, appears to have tried to do everything on this album, and as I have stated before, all these extraneous factors jeapordize the central themes both musically and lyrically. Pain of Salvation proved to have stunning technical and aesthetic ability on “One Hour…” and I think it is somewhat of a shame to think that they did not grow and produce a more powerful effort with “The Perfect Element”

Not The Perfect Element . . . The Perfect Album Part.1
A long review made short, The Perfect Element Pt.1 is a landmark in the history of prog metal music. It is original, ground-breaking, fresh, and the definitive prog release of the new millennium.That’s basically all you need to know. The rest is details.There is a clear line between Pain of Salvation’s first two albums and their last two. TPE1 marks the beginning of a completely new era; not only in POS, but in the entire prog metal genre. There is something simply differing TPE1 and the two albums that were released before it. POS proved to have stunning technical and aesthetic ability on One Hour and Entropia, but with TPE1, as Daniel Gildenlow puts it, they have found their true self. This album is audibly more varied in texture; more tightly organised and more progressive in context. This is one of the very rare albums that exhibits immense originality and diversity by great musicianship.According to Daniel Gildenlow, Pain of Salvation is a name that represents the balance in life and the need for sacrifice when one wishes to accomplish something. Taking his life motto and artistic manifesto into account, it is a very fitting name. On TPE1 there is a great parallel between the storyline in the concept and the band’s meaningful name. POS is one of those bands whose lyrical statements are equally important and progressive as their musical compositions. They have released four albums, all of which are conceptual. TPE1 is no exception; it aims to make a unified statement foremost. It’s not just about the music, but also the statements Daniel Gildenlow has to make. This simply enforces my respect for POS and makes them my current favourite prog metal band. Yes, they’re THAT good.Those of you who have listened to POS should know that their music is one of a kind and acquiesces no definitions. The word “unique” describes them best. Since you have to hear the music to believe its beauty, I’ll try to analyse the other side of the band: their lyrical content and the concept behind TPE1. This album catalogs a wide range of themes: drugs, incest, violence, children, and the human mind and soul. This isn’t merely the story of two small children who meet and love each other. Unlike the first two storylines on POS’ albums, Gildenlow, this time, documents the more personal side of human beings, as opposed to dealing with external issues. Both the young boy and girl are in search of something they lack; they are seeking different ways of trying to regain what they’ve been missing all through the years. While the boy is into violence, the girl has been sexually abused and it’s quite self-destructive. Like I said, this isn’t just a sad story about two broken individuals. On the contrary, it depicts the relation between the individual and society. The way society forms the individual is the main theme here. Gildenlow has been writing about people in the backside of society since the debut album and the song “People Passing By”. He is trying to document that society which sees people as a threat. However, what’s funny is, it’s the same society that forms these so-called ‘sick’ individuals and then tries to straighten them out or ignore them like they don’t even exist. Throwing people into jail, or in the worst case terminating them completely because they don’t fit the society’s masterplan is boldly explored and criticised on this album (but I assume we’ll get a larger scope on this in part 2).Another bold move on Daniel Gildenlow’s part is that he goes out of his way to speak for those who have problems and can’t speak for themselves. I read in an interview where he pointed out that he knows several people who have been through the sexual abuse thing and none of them reported it to the police or have even spoken about it that much. Basically TPE1 is one of those rare albums to screams at the senselessness of life. In Entropia, POS was using the global world on a social level as the context, and within the context, they looked at some individuals (father, son, mother). On TPE1 it’s the other way around. Now they have the human mind as the context, and through that context, they look at social patterns and things that happen on a social level. What makes this album’s concept so unique is that they have chosen to go from two small children to the large picture on a very human nature level. The young boy and girl serve Gildenlow’s purpose excellently. Not only do we feel for them, but we are also offered a glimpse into the core of real life on a more social level.Musically the album is flawless too. It upsets me to see some people complaining about Gildenlow’s approach to songwriting. I for one think he is a joy to listen to; his range of vocal styles covering every inch of categorisable music genres is stunning. The band behind him are equally phenomenal. The songwriting is incredible. Take the opening song “Used” for example; the moment when it switches from the harsh verse to the acappela chorus is simply out of this world. You don’t see it coming, which makes it even more of a shocker. “Idioglossia” makes nice lyrical references to “Ashes” which reminds me of early-90’s Savatage, and I just love it. The long instrumental passage in “Her Voices” and the pastoral closing of the title track are just two of the many gorgeous moments on this monumental release.I’ve read some reviews where people are angry at the slight change of musical direction from the heavier to the more prog-driven approach. I personally love all four albums and realise I wouldn’t love TPE1 and RL as much had it not been for One Hour and Entropia, but you have to note that artists makes music to express themselves, not to fit the fans’ preconceived notions of what music should sound like to them. It’s cool if you dislike their current style, but you have no right to demand from them to play the type of music you want to hear. Just my humble opinion.

~Perfect in every sense of the word~
The astounding thing about Swedish prog/metal whiz-kids Pain of Salvation is simple: You NEVER know what you are going to hear next. The Perfect Element is a crystal-clear example of their diversity. This was my third PoS purchase, behind Entropia and One Hour by the Concrete Lake. Let me say at the outset of this review, TPE is a radical departure from those aforementioned masterpieces.After hearing this release, I quickly purchased Remedy Lane and the astounding 12:5, but looking at the entire PoS catalogue, TPE stands above all others as their crowning moment. Some have complained about the chunky/rap vocals on the opening track Used, some have bemoaned the fact that this release is not “proggy” enough.I say, hrm. I have listened to this CD solid for a couple of months and can honestly say that I have yet to tire, and I continue to find wonder buried deep inside each and every song on the album. As far as I am concerned, and I know that I may be in the minority here, Daniel Gildenlow is one of the greatest vocalists to ever grace the music scene. There are moments when he lapses in operatic, saccharine-sweet mode, but this listener can only say that it adds to the quality of his vocal performances.Musically I can honestly say that I believe PoS stand heads above the rest. Daniel Gildenlow is an amazing lyricist, as well as being a stylish guitarist. From the stunning “In the Flesh,” which I feel is their finest recording, to the haunting “Ashes,” and the phenomenal “Idioglossia,” this album is a must have title.HIGHLY recommended.

Not their best, but definitely good
Unlike so many supposed prog bands out their, Pain of Salvation actually write albums that are different from one another. They are *gasp* actually progressing. ‘The Perfect Element I’ is a very substantial leap away from either the sound of their debut or ‘One Hour…’. Before, though they were certainly more creative and musical than most their peers, Pain of Salvation still fit into the basic prog-metal mold fairly cleanly. With this album, they moved out a bit, into less metallic, less song-oriented and more textured arenas. Frankly, this is probably my least favorite PoS album, and this is probably partially because of the far less metallic sound, as I am primarily a metal fan, rather than a prog fan. Beyond this, I also think the songwriting has also slipped a bit at certain parts, but overall it’s still very strong, and the album is very worthwhile, especially considering how different it is from most of their other work.The production on this album isn’t really bad, but it isn’t exactly ideal either. Their previous album was a little to sterile and too sharply separated, and they seem to have overcompensated a bit here by making an album that’s a bit too close and compacted sounding. Basically, during some of the louder, denser parts, clarity tends to be a bit lacking. It still sounds pretty much alright, but it could have been better, and would be on their next two albums.On ‘The Perfect Element I’, Pain of Salvation downplay some of the old funk elements and bring in some more electronic flavoring, as well as a general emphasis on melody which is even greater then in any of their other albums. The album is definitely pleasantly melodic throughout, and it’s often very memorable, but it loses some crunch and intensity too, so it doesn’t have the sorta impact that a lot of their other material had. Also, they tend towards epic song structures more here then on any of their other albums. Thus, this album was definitely the most difficult of theirs to digest, at least for me, anyway, and I certainly wouldn’t recommend this as one’s first PoS album.As with all their material, PoS prove themselves to be technically adept, with odd-times, numerous time/tempo and complex arrangements, while not being overtly flashy or in your face. Gildenlow’s vox are as dynamic as ever, though he can be a bit overwrought at times, but this has always been the case.The tracks that interest me least on this album tend to be the shorter ballads. ‘Morning on Earth’ and ‘Dedication’ don’t really do much for me. ‘Morning on Earth’ is the better of the two, with a nice main melody, but their both a bit wimpy for my tastes, and are just kinda blandly pleasant without being too exciting. Similarly, ‘In the Flesh’ is one of the less exciting tracks, as it is reasonably interesting through out, but it never really grabs me or involves all that much, no matter how many times I listen to it. The highlights, however, are excellent, and rate amongst Pain of Salvation’s best material. ‘Used’ is a fine opener, and definitely the most immediate thing here. The dual chorus with the choppy riffs and shouted vocals combined with the softer, more melodic following line works very well. And yes, Daniel does kinda-sorta rap during the verses of this song. What nerve! It’s amazing that their actually are some serious reviews condemning a 72+ minute album for 1 minute of rapping. (And I’m not referring to the one written just before this. I *think* that reviews a joke. There are others, however) ‘Ashes’ introduces some electronic elements, and it’s a very memorable as a whole, with a thunderous, but catchy chorus. ‘Her Voices’ starts out a fairly balladish track, but it kicks it up a bit towards the end, with some very strong choral vocals and an effective wall of sound approach. Another strong track. ‘King of Loss’ is perhaps the best epic of the album. It’s a bit less dense, slowly building and with strong guitarwork throughout it, leading into the crunching, jarring chorus. The gentler, melodic section after the second chorus is also very strong. ‘The Perfect Element I’ is the closing track. It’s the most melodic track on the album, with lots of nice multipart vocal lines. It kinda peters out at the end, not adding anything new to the track, but it’s still an effective ending as a whole.Yeah, I’m done. Perhaps their weakest, but that’s still pretty damn good.

This album rocks.
This is currently my most-listened-to album. I had Pain of Salvation locked away for a while, initially dismissed as “one of those prog-rock bands.” Well, I recently re-opened this lovely CD and can’t stop listening to it since.The opening song, ‘Used,’ sets the stage well, The first half is a little bit off-style, with sort of rappish lyrics here and there with intermixed acapella-sounding choruses. But when the second half of the song kicks in, you know you’re in for a ride. The harmonies just keep spiraling upwards, taking Daniel Gildenlow’s vocals to astounding levels, somehow without sounding awful (as most males who try to sing high do).One of my favorite things about Pain of Salvation is how the songs ring as “powerful.” I love powerful music. “In the Flesh” has so much patience–leaving you waiting for that drum beat to kick in (and when it finally does it’s worth it). “Morning on Earth” reminds you exactly of the sun rising on a beautiful day. “Her Voices” perfectly combines ballad and hard rock, with more stunning vocals. “Dedication” has that light major-7 feeling that Pain of Salvation loves to use in their ballads, which they do nicely.Update: The last 3 minutes of “King of Loss” are worth the entire CD alone. It might even be worth everything in my possession. While the rest of the song is cool (great growling vocals by Daniel), the five minutes beginning at around 5:50 includes the most moving, melodic, harmonic, emotional, and just flat out beautiful composition ever created by man. I’ve recorded this exact section, given it the name “Awesome!!!.mp3” and listened to it more times than all my other songs combined, and it never ceases to amaze me.When “Reconciliation” rolls around you know the album’s almost over. I don’t particularly love this song, but I do love certain sections of it–every song on this album has at least some section that I love. And, of course, “The Perfect Element” is a perfect ending, with that really powerful middle section (“Once he had forests and mountains…”) with heart-wrenching singing.Overall, complete 5/5. Perfectly executed, brilliantly written, and catchy. Don’t spend your money on something else when you can buy this instead.

One of the most beautiful and compelling albums I’ve listened to in a long time.
The Perfect Element… I’m not even sure if I can really put down in words how I truly feel about this album. Sure, I can talk about the superb musicianship, excellent vocals, and amazing lyrics, but I don’t even think that will accurately describe my feelings of it.The first time I listened to it, I didn’t really care for it. Now, there was no doubt in my mind that it was a well-written, well-executed piece of work, but it just didn’t sound to interesting. None of the songs sounded very inviting or warm, or really what I was hoping for. I now realize how stupid I was. This album…. geez, this album is incredible in every sense of the word. The HUGE amount of sheer emotion and soul and heart put into every little second of every song is indescribable. Lead singer/songwriter/lead guitarist Daniel Gildenlow is not only an excellent guitarist but a poet. There are only a few records that I own that have lyrics that give me the sort of feeling the lyrics of this album do. As for his voice, it’s his own unique power metal-esque voice, very original and powerful, filled with anger, sadness, beauty, torment, despair, and passion.The Perfect Element is a concept album (like all of POS’ albums) that follows the story of a boy and a girl. They are both broken down by the pressures of society, and have become lonely, hopeless, and desolate. Through this, they are drawn to each other through their similarties. The boy is an outcast, who I believe has fallen into drug addiction and gotten in trouble with the law a few times. The girl is a runaway from home who has sold her body to feel accepted. The first song, Used is about the he character, and In The Flesh is about the she character. They meet and have sex (I believe so anyway) in the song Ashes. The next song, Morning On Earth, is the boy lying in bed with her, watching her sleep, reflecting on why they like each other and marveling at her innocence. These first four songs are part of the first chapter of the album: As These Two Desolate World Collide. The next chapter consists of the next four songs, and is called It All Catches Up On You When You Slow down, which focuses on the past of the two characters and the struggles they had to face. Then, the next four songs make up the 3rd chapter, Far Beyond the Point of No Return, which ends with the he character spiralling into seclusion and a mental breakdown. In the song Reconciliation, the boy has become too disordered and depressed, and he knows it, so he tells the girl to run away from him and get herself help. On the title track she meets back up with him, and sees that he is “at his last breath.”By listening to this album in its entirety, and paying attention to it’s story, it’s very easy to become emotionally drained by the end. This album has seriously made me come close to tears. I don’t care how feminine or “homosexual” that makes me sound; I really don’t. The fact is that this album probably strikes an emotional chord in me that doesn’t strike most people. I was going through some pretty bad stuff about a year ago that isn’t too different from the he character in this album. I was depressed, lonely, isolated, and was getting into some bad stuff. Things did get better eventually, and listening to this album almost sounds like the soundtrack to those days. But it doesn’t make me shudder or feel depressed, it only makes me love this album all the more, knowing that I wasn’t alone.I can honestly say that this is one of the best prog metal albums ever; right up there with Dream Theater’s Scenes From A Memory, Queensryche’s Operation: Mindcrime, And Symphony X’s V: The New Mythology (and those are all concept albums too!). Not only that, but I consider it to be one of the greatest albums written. Daniel Gildenlow is a genius in every sense of this word. So, please, I urge you to buy this album. Let Pain of Salvation take you on a journey through depression, sadness, hate, pain, anger, despair, tragedy, shame, regret, and beauty.
