The most underrated band of all time!

When the music breaks down with just the piano and Daniel's naked voice rings through empathetically "How does it feel to be you," that just brings a shiver to my spine. Very powerful moment at least for me.

Lyrics: You wanna be my friend? Come visit me I'm right here Here in the deep end Storm-born lull-bred semi tamed We seem to be the same But I pretend Raw muscle in a noble frame Graceful and wild I'm feline In a world gone canine And so I'm holding my breath Just waiting for the lull to end It was the wild who once willed this world Now the paper people try their best to keep it conserved With their papers and pens Scissoring pretty pink pins Keeping it tidy and trimmed Like a big paper bin! Aah (like a big paper bin) Aah (like a big paper bin) How does it feel to be you? Say, how does it feel to be you? Anyway Who the hell do you think you are? Medicating everyone who's operating on a faster speed than you are? Sure, you may be right We might be burning our candles in every end But what the f*ck At least we burn, right? You? Well, meanwhile You're just standing there Just watching it Just measuring and harvesting its flame Snuffing it While pretending to be defending normality A never ending story of whatever you call sanity Calling us defective? Really? Well, I just keep burning clutch Trying to keep the slower pace of you The so-called normal The so-called effective How does it feel to be you? She once asked me I said, I feel like a panther Trapped in a dog's world How does it feel to be you? She once asked me I said, I feel like a panther Trapped in a dog's world How does it feel to be you? She once asked me I said, I feel like a panther Trapped in a dog's world How does it feel to be you? She once asked me I said, I feel like a panther Trapped- How does it feel to be you? She once asked me I said, I feel like a panther Trapped in a dog's world (How does it feel to be you?)

Upon first listen this album left me cold. But after revisiting it and giving it many more spins I get it and feel that it's another PoS masterpiece. It's definitely not an easy one to digest, but it's worth the effort. This is art.

Can't stop listening these 3 singles again and again

I am totally comfortable with Daniel taking them wherever he wants them to go. I'm yet to decide if it's my thing, but I will give it a good run and make up my mind objectively. I'd rather be challenged than bored.

I'm assuming people dislike Panther because of the "Nu Metal" vibes, but imo they always had some aspects of it.

So they are still making masterpieces. Thank you guys, you saving me again, and again with these progressive albums

I've never been a fan of electronic music. When the song started I thought: "I'm not gonna like this. This is way too electronic for me". Then I continued listening and I couldn't but love the song. There's just something about this song (and all the songs released so far) that hits me hard. Even though I don't like rap or hip hop very much, and I don't like electronic music, and I enjoy guitars as much as the next guy (I play guitar myself), this and the other songs reach me so effortlessly. But music has always been like this: It's not about the pieces, it's about how you put them together, and Daniel and the guys are masters at this craft.

Having listened to PoS for the better part of two decades, I can say that much of their work has been a grower for me. It takes time to process their songs and concepts, for sure. They do a stellar job of keeping that a constant thing with each album by reinventing the sound over and over again, so it's impossible to say what they'll do next and whether or not it will be immediately enjoyed or need many listens to enjoy.

It was most definitely a grower for me. I get choked up when listening to this album but can't quite put a finger on exactly why. The power of music is sometimes inexplicable. Although one line in particular is clear and it brings me to tears: "And outside there's a world on fire, and you're still debating, while the flames run higher and higher, incinerating..." For me it symbolizes the terrible fires in the Amazon, Australia and the west coast of the US burning billions of animals to death. I can't even type that without tearing up. :(

I'm kind of digging the electro-industrial influence I'm hearing so far, definitely a different direction for the band, but it's still got a lot of that classic PoS vibe to it. I keep hearing reviews saying this "rap" vocal is a novel thing, but like, he was doing it on friggin' TPE1. It's nothing us PoS fans aren't used to.

I've read some comments that this is not PoS at all, but the lyrics of the song and the other 2 singles relate to each other. Those songs reflect the struggle of a person that is not "normal" to strive and be accepted in the society, that over and over tries to normalize them with medication and therapy so they fit the "standards". In a musical level, Daniel and the band might be going in a different direction with the electronic sounds, but that is what prog music is, doesn't it? I am gonna wait to hear the full album first when it's released and then make up my mind if I like it or not. PoS never disappoints anyway hehe.

This band is insane

I think that there is an interesting problem in fans' judgment of the quality of an artist's new work. Consider positive reactions, first. When fans react positively to a piece of art by an artist they like, it is really difficult to distinguish what is due to the work and what is due to their affective connection with the artist. I mean, would these fans saying this song is awesome have similar reaction listening to this song played by another band? I know I wouldn't. Consider the negative reactions, now. When fans dislike a piece of artists they like, chances are that this is not only due to a genuine reaction to the work, but the frustration that follows from the artist's creation not filling their expectations. I would say that most fans of PoS prefer Remedy Lane and Perfect Element style over Scarsick, for example. Here we see a very Scarsick vibe, and we can react negatively precisely for the unmatch between our expectations, which could be problematic, for it is kinda putting a limitation over the artists' creative process (think about Kiss, for example, that has been doing the exact same thing since the 19th century - they are pretty much restricted by their fans in this sense). Anyway, I don't know whether we are ever free to evaluate a piece of art independently from these arbitrary dispositions towards the artists, but, certainly, there is a tradeoff between doing what your fans want and following your creativity freely. I think PoS just allow their 'creativity' to flow freely, assuming their fans would be elevated enough to acknowledge the merits of doing so. Personally, I appreciate their artistic freedom. But I can't avoid the frustration listening to something so far from that which has made me love PoS.

@giuliocaroletti

Interesting thougths and ideas, and I agree with your theoretical approach. Personally, though I love the first era of PoS like anybody else, I liked "Scarsick" very much. Not the "Road Salt" albums; but I liked "In the passing light of day" well enough. More than the style or arrangements, what I feel is a bit lacking is cool melodic ideas that can lift the song. At first listen, at least. In general I am an album type and not a single type, so I prefer to be immersed in an album atmosphere, where I can get in tune, in resonance with the music at some point, it generally helps to enjoy things I am not so used to.

That's a very nice way of saying that this is trash and borderline unlistenable. Everyone wants to use the "artistic" augment, and that's fine, to each his own. But this borders on active trolling, which is a vibe I've gotten from PoS in the past. It's the type of arrogant pseudointellectual crap that Gildenlow has been putting out for years. When I was an emotional college kid it hit me, but it's just boring now, and there's very little going on musically to hold me. Harmonically it's simplistic, the over reliance on programming has been done, and the instrumentation doesn't show any mastery even though I know they have it.

@@DCJayhawk57 I think your opinion is marred by being too angry at PoS. It's not trash and not unlistenable, this track definitely has no 'dangerous', 'avantgarde' or 'violent' edge. It's fairly unoffensive, in fact, melodically simple and not so intriguing, that's all. The other two tracks are better, although they are far from being exceptional, but I wouldn't say they are bad at all. Posturing and trolling from PoS has been there from day 1, like from a lot of prog/prog metal bands. It's when substance lacks behind the form that the trouble arises. Here, the form is not so bad or uninteresting, but strong melodies and hooks are missing - and solos, but that might just be me.

Outstanding....
