The first EP, Hereafter, was recorded in 1996 under the monicker Pain of Salvation, which has been the name of the band since 1991. The Lineup of the band was the same for their first official full length album, Entropia(1997).
After the departure of Daniel Magdic for continuing disagreements with the others over committing to the increasing demands of the band, the band recorded One Hour by the Concrete Lake(1999), a concept album about the issues of nuclear power/waste, disposition of indigenous peoples,industry and human discovery. The band began to receive more attention from critics and magazines all around the world. In 1999 they also played at the famous ProgPower festival in The Netherlands.

So I said no one has opposed to what you have then imposed, that it's subjective. oh whatever.

I guess no one ever opposed the fact that it's a subjective matter

I don't think BE is at all pretentious, I don't think music can be pretentious, and if so you are only referring lyrics? Music is music, take it or leave it, BE,objectively, just is, it does not impose, or detract itself. It's all subjective, whether you consider music to proclaim itself as something, because it does not reflect from it's originator as much as the listener interprets. Daniel is saying something to A listener, not THE listener, and whether or not it seems to impose itself as something better is entirely up to you.

I just found an awesome quote by Dannyboy: "That’s what makes me lose faith in mankind. People vote for Bush and they go to see Amon Amarth." Seriously, how can someone not love that guy ? xD

At least Daniel doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.

Actually, BE is probably THE most pretentious album ever made. Doesn't mean it's not a great album.
