Tyler,
Can you tell me anything about the song with the lyric "Sing with the Devil's Choir"? Ever since I heard Rody sing it on the Studio Update, I've been really into it.

That kind of makes me angry. Makes me feel like they took the harsh vocals out to appeal to more people, which is smart, but annoying.

That's a stupid assumption to make. They took them out because they didn't want to use them. The new stuff might have a wider appeal because of how coherent is but it's also much more technical, so it's not like they're compromising themselves. They just didn't go heavier: I said a while ago it wouldn't be what people expect. That's what I meant. It's hard to explain the sound, but it's kind of like Kezia meets Fortress. I guess?

I'm not sure what you want me to tell you it's in the last half of "Termites", which is awesome and leads into Tongue-Splitter, which might be the best on the album. Believe it or not, a lot of the song seems to be about drinking:

[QUOTE]"the gin in this bottle, just don't let him drown. the next lesson you might swallow might be hard to keep down. taste the penalty of the blazing fire, taste the penalty, sick with the devil's choir"[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]"Gin, always the Gin. Always take on on the chin. The devil dogs and scorpions peel away and wear my skin"[/QUOTE]

There's a note that sounds a lot like "that" one in Cemetery Gates.

You guys sure you want the spoilers? I'd say a lot of the little surprises are worth waiting for. There's at least one I will absolutely not spoil though. I don't really mind or anything, though I probably won't be going as detailed as this if you want to know anything else.

Also, a bunch of the lyrics in Termites are about gin ("Gin, always the Gin. Always take on on the chin. The devil dogs and scorpions peel away and wear my skin") and there's a note that sounds a lot like "that" one in Cemetery Gates.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I mean... I'm not saying I wanted it to be heavier and I didn't really try to predict what they were gonna do, but I didn't think they'd take out the harsh vocals. I mean if its better songwriting than Fortress, I'm sure I'll be satisfied.

As a vocalist, I think you'll still really appreciate what he's doing on this album, if not more than on Fortress. It's not as varied but it's way, way more powerful and well done.

Yeah I was really digging the vocals on the new song. I'm hoping it leaks, but knowing PTH that won't happen.

Sex Tapes is actually (sort of) about leaks, hah.

[QUOTE=Tyler;18401380]But if you hate his voice, well, you'll hate the album.[/QUOTE]

The slight emo yelp in his clean vocals is what hooked me to begin with. I [I]did[/I] like the growls though...

Has Rody quit smoking? I have to imagine that singing his ass off touring on this new album will take a lot more wind than before.

[QUOTE=Tyler;18401380][B]There's no harsh vocals at all on the album. At all.[/B] The closest he comes is he sometimes goes a little dry, like Keith Buckley I guess. There's this background growl in Tapestry but it sounds pitch-shifted. It's mostly just him singing his ass off. He really stepped up his vocals for this, he sounds awesome. But if you hate his voice, well, you'll hate the album.

When they were still finishing up recording, someone told me, "it's basically just Rody being really sassy the entire time", which is pretty much true.[/QUOTE]

I don't think I've ever been so disappointed. Kinda wish I could get a refund on the concert tickets I bought.

This band had so much potential. Fuck it, guess I have to make my own band now.

hahaha

PTH are great and they stand out.

Also, this album has something to spoil? Very interested.

I was hoping PTH would evolve into Between the Buried and Me with a better singer. This new album is the opposite direction I wanted them to go. I feel like a sissy listening to this shit.

Says the guy who's heard one song that's not indicative of the album at all, really. I mean, no, it's not heavy, but it's more complex than anything BTBAM wille ver write so to imply it's some girl-rock sissy album is pretty off base.

Say basically you're saying:

NO SKRAMZ THIS IS PUSSY SHIT LOL SO GHEY

Not to mention you haven't even heard the album...

shut the fuck up faggot

I somehow doubt that.

[QUOTE=Remer17;18409644]I somehow doubt that.[/QUOTE]

Choosing to not do harsh vocals is a good thing... sometimes it feels juvenile, not "hardcore" and "extreme" and "tough".

[QUOTE=Remer17;18409644]I somehow doubt that.[/QUOTE]

Why would you? You don't think PTH is every bit as talented as BTBAM? You better believe they are.

[QUOTE=Tw1ster;18409722]shut the fuck up faggot[/QUOTE]

:lol:

[QUOTE=Remer17;18410023]:lol:[/QUOTE]

;) :naughty:

New album is pretty cool.

Sex Tapes is ridiculous.

i'm hearin harsh vox in tapestry

new album definitely sounding fun

It's the only bit in the entire album.

But it's def a fun listen. More theatrical and just ridiculous. Can def see those Queen influences coming through.

yea

thought i was 'over' pth too

oh shit, it did. Sweet!

loool at not as technical as btbam

So awesome. Can't wait to get an actual copy next month.

again?

Pretty awesome. I will be hard pressed to find a better metal/rock album this year
