Pain of Salvation- Road Salt Two (Inside Out Records)
Pain of Salvation are following the path they took with Road Salt One towards a 70's prog rock sound, with their album Road Salt Two which is an example of excellent song-writing both in terms of melodies and lyrics. Of course, Daniel Gildenlöw plays a major part in this the band and this album through both his amazing vocals and lyrical themes. The album shifts between melodic-driven tunes with examples such as "Through the Distance" and the piano-driven "1979" and darker bluesy tones in "Softly She Cries" while adding solid riffs in songs like "Conditioned" and more complex tunes in "The Deeper Cut". "To the Shoreline" is a memorable song (that could be described as the most progressive song in this record) and one of the peaks of the album with its contrasts between the piano and the unbelievably catchy chorus that will stick to your mind!
Some of the songs that were first performed in this record (such as "1979") were also recorded with a few twists and changes, and included in their later album Falling Home. Although the album sticks to the concepts introduced in the first part of the Road Salt saga (Road Salt One), it manages to stand out from it as an amazing and unique album both in terms of lyrical and musical themes, adding another great release to Pain of Salvation's career!
