PAIN OF SALVATION- Road salt II (2011)

Seriously I'm no fan of POS's discography. Some tracks showed great potential, but all in all I was tired of their chaotic approach to songwriting. In 2010 there was great buzz around the band's new direction towards the fields of prog/retro rock. I was hesitant to pay any serious attention but finally I did check the album and fell in love with it since. Seriously, it's like Gildenlow and his partners were destined to play this kind of music, full of soul/psych/prog rock influences and heavily based on a genuine late 60's sound that I can imagine would be a painful shock for the prog metal fans that make up the core of POS's fanbase. ''Road salt I'' was one of the best albums of 2010 and also one of the best in the whole 60's-70's revival thing that's groing stronger day by day. Part II doesn't stray much from this sound. It's without doubt a very interesting album, with some very strong moments and great sound. Not as good as part I but still you need to give it a chance. Below is the best in my oppinion song from part II and another one from part I.
