From the two songs released thus far, "Whisper" and "An Escape", it's clear that The Dear Hunter are releasing quite an opus. First of all, as amazing a musician Casey Crescenzo is, he is a phenomenal producer and the production on this album is leagues above the quality of anything I have heard in a large number of years. Secondly, while "Whisper" was an instant classic with me, "An Escape" took a little longer to enjoy. I loathed "An Escape" on the first listen thinking it as The Dear Hunter throwing everything out that made them interesting, on repeated listens however it grew on me and is now one of my favourite songs by the band. I think this to be the case with the majority of the songs on this album. What I expect to hear from this album from what I've heard so far: top tier production, a continuation and, for lack of a better word, "good" version of The Colour Spectrum, with an occasional retro feel, slathered in excessive hooks by the master of melody himself, Casey Crescenzo. Also, "Whisper" makes me want to watch the popular kids show, Little Bear and there's nothing wrong with that, so props to them.
How the hell is this detailed GMB? I practically said nothing. :P |

| Lacks the atmosphere of Selfish Machines and A Flair for the Dramatic that made those albums so special, Fearless Records took the soul in their music away, now they're just a typical post-hardcore affair. It's kind of sad when a guest vocalist does a better job at conveying their old sound than a member of the band , Jason Butler from letlive is the highlight of the entire depressing experience. |

| I tend not to compare a band by it's previous efforts but this is a special case, the album 'Scurrilous' compared to 'Kezia' and 'Fortress' is a horrible mess. The lyrics are dreadful, the instrumentation is sloppy (for Protest the Hero's standards), the vocals is basically Rody relentlessly stabbing you in the ear for 44 minutes without remorse or variation. The album as a whole is practically the same damn song repeated over and over and over again with barely enough variation between tracks to be considered 10 different songs and it is such a struggle to get through it all. A rumour going around was. there were originally more songs but they were removed from the album for not being a high enough quality compared to the rest of the album, I hope I never have the displeasure of listening to them, if what's on the album are the quality tracks. The only reason I have given this an average score is because when I listened to 'C'est La Vie' for the first time last month, I thought it was the worst PtH song I had ever heard but it's grown on me and I enjoy it like I do their previous efforts and I expect the same from the other songs on 'Scurrilous' with time and a few listens. |
