That's weird and unfortunate. I saw them play this album front to back maybe five or so years ago and they were borderline flawless

Yep pretty standard performance from them. Solid instrumentals and terrible vocals. That's the Fall of Troy I know!

Even in the tutorials I've seen Erak play he fucks shit up all over the place in one-takes, but I understand cause he was much more of a writer and creative type than a precision metronome player

And that's okay, I prefer it vastly over the nerds that can't write cool parts if their lives depended on it but can recreate what others have done to robotic standards

The Protest the Hero bois were like that too, writing well beyond their capabilities technically


Again, another smart choice. If you can nail it in the studio between multiple takes, put it in the album.

Same applies to vocals.

Man that brings back memories, g40st. I actually saw Protest the Hero in 2008 on their Fortress tour, and the supporting act after Chiodos (lol) was The Fall of Troy. They played a lot of Doppelganger and I remember not being able to discern much at all because a) the songwriting is frenzied b) the sound in the venue was abysmal and c) they were probably high or drunk and having the time of their life. Great show though, I'll never forget it. These guys in their prime, whatever that means, playing Doppelganger was a sight to behold. I didn't know a single note from the album besides FCPREMIX from Guitar Hero 3 so I mostly looked puzzled until that one came up.

listened to mouths like sidewinder missiles just now, this sounds kinda like what counterparts could be if they weren't so serious and edgy and could relax once in a while

saw them on tour for the first time this past August, and Thomas' autograph is carefully kept in my wallet.

The studio magic of multiple guitar tracks certainly helps
