I'd hate to judge a band off one album, however that's the biggest album I hear everyone going off about & that's why I got it.
"Into the Electric Castle" is one of my all time favorite albums. It just blows me away. I also love "The Final Experiment" & I'm especially big on "Stream of Passion". If Arjen can slip away from whatever it is he was trying to do on "The Human Equation" I will be a happy man.

I don't understand why so many herald The Perfect Element as like the God of PoS albums? It is ok however there are too many slow chuggy songs and not enough versatility in the songs throughout. The first couple tracks are a little aggressive and upbeat; however, afterwards all of the songs start to have the same vibe. I really like Remedy Lane, there is so much versatility in it and the keyboard player gets plenty of recognition throughout the tracks as well. Maybe try that album out? I really like "BE"; however, I would not recommend it to a new PoS listener at all because it's so different and focused more on Gildenlow rather than PoS as a whole.
