"Perhaps less inspired and certainly less catchy than "Perfect Element Part 1", "Remedy Lane" is nonetheless an excellent album from Pain Of Salvation."

As the opening act for Dream Theater's European tour in 2002, Pain Of Salvation proved that they are indeed a great progressive metal band. This year, they are back with a concept album based on couples' relationships and the difficulties of taking the right path in life, not with the follow-up to the first part of 'Perfect Element'. Fans of Anathema will not be disoriented by the lyrics.  

More "Faith No More" than ever, Pain Of Salvation continues in the style they adopted on "One hour by the concrete Lake". Between Progressive Metal and fusion, "Remedy Lane" is still an album of great musical quality. All the ingredients are present, notably an extraordinary voice, well balanced riffs, ballads, and superb melodies. Unfortunately one or two tracks are more than boring and the originality that made "Perfect Element" a reference is less pronounced.

Maybe less inspired and certainly less catchy, "Remedy Lane" remains a very good album. Several listenings will allow to appreciate it at its true value. - Official website

Première écoute et un avis mitigé, appréciant certains morceaux comme Chain sling ou Undertow et en délaissant d'autres. Le côté déstructuré voire syncopé m'a un peu déstabilisé. Un peu d'alcool et un matelas pour m'allonger a suffi cette seconde fois pour m'immerger complètement dans cet album varié, profond et d'une grande richesse musicale, porté par une voix au timbre transpirant d'émotions. Là je me suis dit qu'on tenait quelque chose, certes un ovni difficile d'accès mais qui recèle un vrai coffre fort ouvrant, à celui qui détient la clé, à un véritable voyage sonore expérimental. A conseiller donc à ceux qui acceptent d'être patient et choisissent d'aller au bout de l'album.

OTHER REVIEWS
EVERGREY: In Search Of Truth (2001)
PROGRESSIVE METAL - A concept album in the pure tradition of progressive metal, "In Search Of Truth" is an intense experience and may be one of Evergrey's best albums.
A.C.T.: Today's Report (1999)
PROGRESSIVE ROCK - A.C.T. offers in their album 'Today's report' a progressive and melodic music rather pleasant and varied.
