:: ::
:: Pain of Salvation is one of those bands that tend to go the ::
:: retro way quite often. Situated somewhere between metal, ::
:: prog and hard rock, the band surprises this time and tries ::
:: to get the best out of acoustic or semi-acoustic songs with ::
:: the new album Falling Home. This concept might sound more or ::
:: less interesting at first, still, the album's opening song ::
:: 'Stress' is so downright pathetic that "less interesting" ::
:: seems to be the correct foreboding. There is a Led Zeppelin ::
:: cue right at the beginning and these hints at classic hard ::
:: rock bands and songs sadly are a prominent feature on the ::
:: album. The pseudo-jazz and acoustic twang on the album as ::
:: well as the seemingly random mixing of all kinds of genres ::
:: really don't make it easy to take the band and especially ::
:: its leader Daniel Gildenl÷w seriously. ::
:: ::
:: But the way the band goes ahead in terms of performance ::
:: isn't the best either: the vocals on this album give the ::
:: music an uncertain feeling of being yet another one of Bon ::
:: Jovi's endless attempts of reinventing middle-of-the-road ::
:: rock. This music isn't even close to generally cheesy AOR ::
:: than it rather seems to be a nearly 50-minute-long variation ::
:: of the intro of Boston's 'More Than A Feeling'. The album is ::
:: such an ill-fated affair of "doing it differently" one ::
:: wishes the band had rather played it safe instead. ::
:: ::
:: The overall sound of the band is at the same low level: the ::
:: acoustic guitars sound even "plonkier" than the Shadows ::
:: (just for the record: a great band!) ever did, the drums are ::
:: as usual as they can be and the e-piano û as well as the ::
:: other keyboards û remains nothing but a dull feature. ::
:: Although some of the instrumental passages are decent ::
:: nevertheless, the album's clear mix doesn't focus on them ::
:: properly and creates some kind of uninspired rehearsal ::
:: atmosphere instead. ::
:: ::
:: The musicians don't seem to know where they want to go on ::
:: this album. A cheesy ballad here ('Perfect Day'), many ::
:: mindless pop songs there (seemingly every second song on the ::
:: album), but in the end you'd wish Falling Home was just a ::
:: collection of demos or outtakes. Sadly it is an album of ::
:: mostly awkward and sometimes embarrassing songs probably ::
:: only the band's fans will like. ::
