I just can't be bothered to get into something when there is this much hype surrounding it.

That usually happens because all these people commenting think the album is good, which is a good indicator on the quality of the album. Your street cred won't be ruined by enjoying good music that other people enjoy as well.

So do PTH have a keyboardist. Because in #3 it sounds like an orchestra is playing along with them, and in a few other songs as well.

No, the guy from Dragonforce does the keyboard solo in Limb From Limb (which I for one love despite majority opinion). The horns you heard in Bone Marrow are probably from a keyboard too but I don't think anyone in PTH does them.

I quite like the lyrics to Bone Marrow and how Rostam is basically used to attack the nobility, in the form of Shah Jahan in this case, which is kind of strange considering Rostam is a fictional character portrayed as a hero and they don't really have a link (unless there is and I'm unaware of it).

How was that even an interpretation hah, you just basically re-wrote the lyrics. Bone Marrow, as I understand it, is sort of a future take on the past. That's apparently why it's written as Shah-Jan instead of Shah-Jahan, but I still think it's a typo.



The keyboards on the album, and they're on more than Bone Marrow, are pretty much all Tim. Luke does some, but he mostly just does the piano and the guitar.

but you're right, thus no cookie

The first three tracks are all like that, they're like future-past, alternate universe kind of things. Sort of like how Genghis Khan and Nurjan (Nur Jahan) were alive 300 years apart from each other, but both are mentioned in Bloodmeat. Then the middle tracks are all past and history based, and the last two are basically present-based.

I think, thus far, "The Dissentience" and "Wretch" are my favs from this album.
