Riff in the 2nd verse in All Hands is sooooooooooooooo perfect. it has a similar melody to the outro of Mist

All Hands would be perfect if they had some big gang vocals "All Hands All Hands All Hands" at the end.

Someone needs to teach me how to stop listening to this album. I'm so close to making this a 5/5 and I thought RTJ4 was amazing.

All this hate Reign of unending terror gets me sad, one of my favourites on Scurillous.

The reign of unending terror. The rain that brings us warning.

I like what I hear 3 songs in.
And I know about Rody's vocals problems, but his voice here is giving me the kind of uncanny valley feeling, like someone trying his hardest to sound like him. Weird shit.
Edit: holy shit that From the Sky last part

I thought that was kind of clumsy sounding too, but it's a direct quote from Amelia Earhart. That made it a little easier to swallow for me.
Didn't Arif write some lyrics on Scurrilous? I'm gonna try to find out, but I really bet he wrote Termites.

I wish the instrumental outro on From the Sky was better because that climax with Rody is breathtaking

First half of the album is insanely good, maybe better than Fortress.
I'm fucking hyped.

PtH lyrics are always pretty on the nose but the songwriting is tight so

Lyrics here are the best since Fortress.

I like this a lot but damn, I went back to Volition and that might be their best record.
Grew on me so much, hope this one does the same.

Nah, I've been a number 1 fan of these guys for over 15 years but even I'll go ahead and say Rody's lyrics on this are mostly (not completely though!) like a 5th grader who just Googled the darker side of American history.
Btw he admittedly fucked up this part in Soliloquy which is about Baby Face Nelson: "In 1916, at 7 years old, I shot a kid in the mug with a found pistol." That happened in July, 1921 when Nelson was 12. Even Wikipedia has that right and here it is in a book as well: https://imgur.com/a/LOYPvA5
Which is kinda ironic given how the whole album's supposed to be about rewritten/erased/withheld parts of history. You're gonna sing about these themes with such authority but can't even fact check your own lyrics in the 3 years that you've worked on the album? Um...

Rody said in the AMA that there was a glaring mistake in the lyrics, I wonder if that is what he was talking about.

I think that the pacing and dynamics in general are absolute magnificent on this album. Concise and somewhat digestible songwriting, despite all its progressive elements. Original vocal phrasing that never sticks out too much for it to go crazy wild. Makes for a great density in atmosphere. Plus lots of earworm potential.

oof, thats a huge bummer. I still enjoy the alternate take. Nobodies viewpoints and stances are bullet-proof. I am sure Rody is still more reliable than people reading FB headlines and yelling their feelings.
