Ah, thats more like it. Itll be a while before I get through everythinglike I said, Im taking it kinda slow (right now Im splitting my time between this topic, some responsibilities in another topic, an FF6 romhack, and 13 Sentinels) but... well so long as Im fully caught up before August, Ill consider it a win.

Lets get through a bit more of that Pain of Salvation album. Not likely to get through it all tonight (I kinda did the opening prologue of 13 Sentinels instead of listening to anything earlier), but at least a few songs.

Her Voices: Still not quite my subject matter, but it wasnt too bad... before the overly extended instrumental. That part is just tedious.

Dedicated: Eh.

King of Loss: *halfway into an almost ten minute long song* ...Okay, Id officially take a song about a drug filled orgy to break up this tedium now.

That puts us halfway through the album! Well come back to this...some other day. Lets try the first three songs from #185:

Kanade Izuru - Pretender: I feel like I found a translation of these lyrics before, because this talk about worldlines feels very familiar. Lets say around 60 points? I almost connect with it.

Obake - Hope: Well, I like different types of ambience and this is different... a little unsettling, but not as overwhelmingly dread inducing as I like my unsettling instrumentals. Im also not sure if the song title is ironic or if Im just on the wrong wavelength again. Either way, its worth some positive amount of points (61-ish, maybe?)

Roppo Rikuru - Fusen: Fairly cute. Maybe low 70s.

Shikura Riwa - Defy!: Yeah, I said I was only doing three, but Im doing one more because...I want to. Nyah.

Pretty good, high 70s type song.



Afro Celt Sound System - North: Not nearly as interesting as Silken Whip was, but I kinda like. High 50s-ish type song.

JINJER - Judgement (& Punishment): I wasnt prepared for...reggae death metal? Definitely a new enough experience that Id give it at least 60 points, but a bit too metal screaming to be something I really love... still definitely unique enough to be well worth the listen.

Hive - Moves Within Time (1st Movement): Spoken word intro about journeying through time, not a bad start. The actual song itself is a bit dull though... it practically screams out for someone to sample it and perform a song of some sort overtop of it.

Hive - Moves Within Time (2nd Movement): Dont quite remember this one. It was a bit more intense than the 1st Movement and I didnt mind listening to it, but its very blink and three minutes have passed without you really noticing the song type... still kinda good from what little I can remember.

Hive - Moves Within Time (3rd Movement): A slow and distorted opening gives a very drugged out type ambience (which is kinda interesting) and the later parts of the song have some low tones that I like... not something I love, but I did enjoy my time with all three parts of the song. No idea why its broken into three different songs on the album, as it is quite blatantly one long song, but I enjoyed my time with it.



12 songs (technically)... not too bad progress tonight.
