The only song i'm not in love with at the moment is reign of unending terror. The rest are great so far.

Sometimes the things that you're ashamed of, make you who you're supposed to be.

(really digging the entire album. the vocals are insane as is the instrumentation. great stuff)

I love the Bloodmeat esque "badada BOOM" part (I don't know how to describe it

). Great song.

I think Hair-Trigger is the song that is standing out for me the most, but I need to listen to the album about a dozen more times to fully appreciate it. I mean, I didn't really love Fortress until about my 3rd listen, and I feel like it's a little more immediate an album than Scurrilous.

So, yeah, I think it's going to be a grower, but I really like it right now. Only time will tell if I love it as much as Fortress.

That filmclip was fantastic and this album keeps getting better and may become my favourite PTH album in time.

This is a pretty cool description of all the song meanings from Rody. I'm really glad they chose a more heartfelt approach to the lyrics for this album.

OK so after listening to all their albums a number of times, I've decided that the new album is at least as good as Fortress, maybe even edging past it to be my favourite. A little less dynamic maybe, but morecl consistent in quality. And C'est La Vie might be my favourite song by them.

zxlkho · « **Reply #363 on:** April 11, 2011, 09:51:33 AM »

YES! Scurrilous is the best!

You are a really, really horrible person. You are bad and you should feel bad.

No seriously, you guys are noobs.

ACID_FOX · « **Reply #368 on:** April 11, 2011, 09:57:45 AM »

Still not sure if it's as good as Fortess, but it really has grown on me a considerable amount.

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #369 on:** April 11, 2011, 09:57:24 PM »

God damn this album is so good.

Sex Tapes in particular.

Good lord I love this band.

Crow · « **Reply #372 on:** April 12, 2011, 09:21:35 PM »

Quick ranking of the songs:

Moonlight
Sex Tapes
Termites
Tongue-Splitter
Hair-Trigger
C'est La Vie
The Reign of Unending Terror
Tapestry
Tandem
Dunsel

This is an awesome album. The only song I don't really like is Dunsel, by the way. Always has to be one of "those" songs on every PtH album, it seems.

Completely agree. The songs on scurrilous move from great moment to great moment whereas Fortress has some pretty average moments though the high moments are exceptional.

WTF is this? Dunsel is the best song on the album!!

Dunsel
Sex Tapes
C'est La Vie
Moonlight
Termites
Hair Trigger
Tapestry
Tandem
Tongue Splitter
The Reign Of Unending Terror (still a good song though)

Crow · « **Reply #374 on:** April 13, 2011, 06:01:21 PM »

It just seems so... disjointed. And it feels like it could end around 2:15 AND around 4:20 but goes on past both those points.

ariich · « **Reply #375 on:** April 14, 2011, 03:31:33 AM »

Um, this is Protest the Hero. Do you expect even the slightlest amount of coherence?

Crow · « **Reply #376 on:** April 14, 2011, 05:50:26 AM »

I don't think you're a Protest the Hero fan if you think that, ariich

ACID_FOX · « **Reply #377 on:** April 14, 2011, 08:31:14 AM »

Dunsel is BY FAR the best song on the album, and my favourite song the band have ever done.

chrisbDTM · « **Reply #378 on:** April 14, 2011, 10:16:48 AM »

tapestry
tongue splitter
c'est la vie
hair trigger
dunsel
tandem
termites
sex tapes
moonlight
reign of unending terror (still like it alot)

This album doesn't feel like Protest the Hero to me.

pain of occupation · « **Reply #380 on:** April 15, 2011, 06:57:47 PM »

that's...funny (?)

or sarcastic reply: ya, the album's a HUGE departure.

theliloutkast · « **Reply #381 on:** April 17, 2011, 07:37:22 AM »

What I meant was, compared to Kezia and Fortress this album doesn't hold up. This of course is just my opinion.

I agree. I listened to the new album 3 or 4 times when it came out, and I've had to desire to listen to it again. I will give it another chance, but I'm discovering so much new music at the moment that I'd rather be listening to something else.

Yeah it's probably that more than anything, which doesn't really say a thing about the album.

EDITED because I can't spell.

And yes, this album took time to grow, but it's definitely more consistent than Fortress, whilst not quite having the highs that Fortress does.
