..and I happen to like Scarsick too.
I've played RS1 twice now and I'm not quite sure whether I'm over the shock yet but its due for another spin shortly. I hope I get it this time.
I know you felt the same at first, how long or how many plays did it take? |
Yeah, I was initially VERY disappointed with Road Salt One after the previous 4 masterpieces. It's still my least favorite Pain of Salvation album, but I've come to appreciate it as a unique and highly enjoyable release. It took me about 6 listens to get over the "shock", and it just got better from there. I originally found it to be too linear, but after 6-7 listens I was proven wrong.
Of course, it depends on the person's tastes as well. My one friend loved the album the first time he heard it, whereas it took me much longer to get into. Here's my review at progarchives if you're curious:
