Well, the album has officially leaked! After a brief skim of it (I'm in school so I can't do much), it's certainly the most diverse work they're ever put out. Very Kezia-inspired in some parts. I think you'll all dig it!

Sweet. That's what I was hoping for. I'll have to download this when I get home, even though I'll be buying it when it comes out. I'm just too impatient to wait, and need to hear it now lol.

Hahah, I totally get it. I've pre-ordered it on Itunes, through their Indieagogo campaign, AND through their normal pre-orders. So I feel okay about it :lol:

Just finished listening to it start to finish. Like every PTH album its going to take a couple of listens to sink in and understand.

Luke has really stepped up his guitar playing.

I think the assumption is made that if you need to change the address, you make the contact?

So, does anyone know when the people who did the crowd funding pre-order will receive their physical copy? Also I want to figure out if its possible to have them ship my copy to a new address since I'm out of college now and have my own place, I don't need to us my moms address anymore haha. I'm debating what the best way to contact them would be. I just tried their facebook, hopefully that will get a response but I'm not sure.

You would think that, but they had a page on their site set up so people who got shirts, etc could do that without having to email them. It was also used to verify your address/size.




on another note: Are those guest vocals on Underbite?

If they carry the energy of this album to their live shows, I will be a happy chappy :agreed:

Can't wait for my CD to arrive so I can appreciate this fully, certainly their most accomplished sounding album to date.

Some nice Fortress'y moments in there. The chill transitions were a nice blast from the past, Scurrilous really lacked those.

Can't wait to dl this later. So psyched. Everything has sounded so good so far. Since they went over their goal I feel like I don't even have to buy it!

And yet you probably still should... As far as I'm aware, they reinvested a hefty portion of the additional money back into merch, gear etc. I understand what you're saying but if you didn't actually contribute to the campaign then you're essentially stealing from/leeching off A) the band and B) the people who paid for the album. You're not screwing a major label, you're hurting a relatively small band.

Apologies if you are in fact buying it or did contribute to the campaign but the general consensus around here (I know you're a more senior member than me, haha) is that you should pay for music you love and I thought I should make that clear for anyone else listening to the leaked version.

on track 7, shit is amazing so far!

I tried my best with Scurrilous waiting for it to just click-in, there are some brilliant moments there (Dunsel is awesome!) but as a whole It felt pretty weak compared to the feel in Kezia and the hooks in Fortress. One of the problems that I thought the band could suffer was stagnation, and the songs could start feeling formulaic, but the songs here, while recognisable as Protest's style instantly, are sounding really fresh :D, it's like Fortress and Kezia on steroids with spectacular production
