I believe i was wrong about one of the new songs they played. In round 2 last night the band played Spoils but no Wretch. But PTH took the slot as the headlining band. My memory is a little hazy from the first night but i would assume if they had a 'new' song in the set list it would probably be played every night; my bad.
If your going to this tour check out The Fall of Troy, they're better live than their myspace tracks lead to believe--most noticeably the vocals sound a lot better; solid sounding 3 piece.

I miss bury the hatchet, but not as much as i like fortress.

[QUOTE=Pete;16230057]are there any pth guitar lessons on youtube btw?[/QUOTE]

No, and believe me, I've looked. All I've ever found are videos of people playing their songs straight through. However, if that's what you're looking for I'd suggest Markus Niklasson AKA "nogoodnameleftforme" ([url]http://youtube.com/user/nogoodnameleftforme[/url]). His covers of Kezia are on average 80-85% correct and his covers of Fortress are closer to 95-99% correct. Also, he looks kinda like Rody.

I've seen some of his videos, it sounds like he's hitting the right notes but I don't like his tone. It's a little too fuzzy.

horrible review is too ****ing horrible

Tyler 04-21-2008 12:22 PM

That was really incoherently written

kattunlover69 04-21-2008 12:25 PM

he basically wrote a whole paragraph to take a crack at the circus riff...lol im done now

I love that riff... :(

Shattered_Future 04-22-2008 09:31 AM

Yeah, that wasn't very well done at all, but there is one point I sort of agree with...it does almost seem like the album gives off an air of pretentiousness. It's the same feeling I get when I listen to Be by Pain of Salvation, albeit Fortress is a lot better.

Tyler 04-22-2008 11:37 AM

I dont see how there's at all a sense of pretentiousness. It's ambitious, lyrically, but there's a lot of schmaltz and cheese thrown in to balance it out.

Shattered_Future 04-22-2008 11:46 AM

I don't know how to explain it. The songwriting has a little bit of pretentiousness though...

illpressureurhinges1 04-22-2008 11:53 AM

It's not pretentious at all... I don't know what you are talking about.

Tyler 04-22-2008 12:01 PM

I see what he's saying I just don't think ambition =/= pretentious

pate 04-22-2008 12:45 PM

Anything that's not post-rock can't be pretentious.

The first video is probably the most entertaining thing I've seen all week.

Edit: Does anyone else get a feeling that Rody has a thing redheads?

BridgeToSolace 04-25-2008 09:01 AM

I <3 protest the hero.

Fortress took me a little while to get into just because it's all over the place. They pack more music in one song than most do in an entire album. It's also a bit less catchy or sing-along-able as a result (compared to Kezia)

I think I prefer Kezia, but I still can't get enough Fortress. I've listened to Bone Marrow 100+ times according to my mp3 player.

He's talking about the chromatic breakdown behind the cookie monster vocals.

I've listened to Sequioa Throne like over 300 times.

Tyler 04-25-2008 01:44 PM

That's awesome because it's a competition you know!

illpressureurhinges1 04-25-2008 01:45 PM

I wasn't competing... I was just stating a fact. You know, you don't ALWAYS have to try to make people feel stupid.

pate 04-25-2008 02:52 PM

It's so easy to do.

gmoneyguy 04-25-2008 02:55 PM

Why do you have to be such a stupidface!?

Tyler 04-25-2008 03:42 PM

new video is premiering on much right now
