confession: I'm actually more hyped for this than for Scurrilous. :/

And this is easily the best of the 3 pre-release tracks so far. I'm liking the new vocalist more and more.

2/3 pre-released songs are good. I still fear that this album will fail as a whole, the new vocalist is too monotonous :-/

Song slays. Im looking forward to this album despite not having any interest in the band prior to these past few songs.

This is awesome. I'm not more excited for this than Scurrilous, but that's like saying I like sex better than blow jobs

beats anything off Midheaven, though in all fairness that's not particulary difficult.

I honestly haven't listened to Midheaven. I heard Procession of the Fates and one other song that i can't remember the name of and... yeah, i could not listen to a whole album of that.

After Nocturne, Midhaven was pretty much a swing-and-a-miss, then shitting your pants on the way back to the dugout.

Meh, better than Midheaven. Still not saying much, song is a high 2.5 for me.

Each song they have released is more boring than the one before. Interest has disappered.

I really don't like Travis' vocals very much. His growls just sound like every other metalcore band to me.

Nocturne was pretty much an entire album consisting of 'that awesome ending'. I find it hard to justify excitement for their next release based of ~30 seconds of former glory. Though the lack of Nathan alone is giving my ears a boner.

At least Nathan knows how to write a melody, I'm not a fan of these Muse-eque anthems in every song.
Although this is the best song released so far, I'm not particularly excited for this anymore as the
first few tracks have been boring.

Also has anyone noticed how god damn much the band and the individual member's Facebook promote this
album? Its sickening really.

not feeling the cleans, but the rest is pretty awesome. But yeah there is definitely too much drawn-out Muse style vox

I dont really understand why everyone says the end is so awesome Im pretty sure ive heard that same ending in three other human abstract songs... nothing THAT special. song overall is ok. ill just wait for the BTBAM ep instead.

Not sure what to think, definitely not for me atm. Find myself siding with Josh D on this one.

Rather enjoying the album thus far. I like the overly Classical-esque clean vocals that Travis delivers. Has a hint of what Nathan was trying to do a lot (e.g: chorus of "Vela...") only it sounds a lot more proper (?).

I dislike the layered harsh vocals, mainly, but they are infatuating, nonetheless, and somehow actually work to some degree. Though I enjoy the moments of singular vocal lines, more so.

Overall, I'm actually kinda' surprised by the vast amount of dislike the album is getting. I thought it was all done extremely intelligently. AJ actually delivered on what he initially promised ("I want to make an album that's both metal, and classical, without being cheesy like power metal"), and I think it comes off quite effectively. Though, that’s objective.

Based on the three songs, I can see this being a 4.3 for me, personally. Heaps better than Nocturne & Midheaven. Though, I am a bit let down by the use of the clean vocals that were shown in the teaser, as I thought they would be more... epic (as they seemd to be in the teaser itself).

[tl;dr]

Yea the new PTH album will be better than this for sure. This is the only good song out of all 3 they have released so far. I still think the old vocalist is a much better singer than travis is imo, he has like no range at all.

Pretty Good. A little repetitive, but not bad. I like the new singer a hell of a lot better than the old one, I just wish he would explore with his voice a little more.
