dapeebs Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Four different variants available and a ton of bundles. Of course it has to be Sheethappens with their insane shipping pricing, but this is the probably the one band I'd swallow the price for. https://www.sheethappenspublishing.com/artists/protest-the-hero Edited April 16, 2020 by dapeebs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Came here to post this, ending up just biting the bullet on this one and spending a little too much. Got the Deluxe Edition with the 7" and "Ghostly Red" LP. Then since I realized shipping doesn't change at all, I grabbed a copy of the TriColor Fortress repress. Almost grabbed a few others, but I know they've been there for a while so maybe I'll swing back and grab the Kezia + Scurrilious represses in a month or so. $100 shipped is ok-ish knowing that their packaging is pretty good.

silence2-38554 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hmm, no way to get pressing numbers I see. I'm guessing they're all the same since they're all available in bundles, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juturna90 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Grabbed the blue. Really wanted to spring for the deluxe with the 7”. Stoked for this album regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 based on the price of the single records by themselves, the "ultimate vinyl" bundle seems to be the best deal. $135 for all variants + a 7" + signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah the bundle is the best deal, you could easily flip a couple copies and make your money back. That being said, I decided to take the less scummy route and just grab a single LP. Did the black/red "ghostly" splatter one and got it with the 7" upgrade pack. Split shipping with a friend so it was not too bad all said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose any of 4 variants, get a 7”, slipmat, prints, and signature for $52. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysopenmouth Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Didn’t care for that single at all, I’ve been steadily let down by then in the past few years especially after Moe and Arif left. Regardless I’ll give the album a fair listen, though if I could partake in a pizza party at Tim’s house I’m sure my reaction would be more favorable lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Been listening to the single over and over and I just can not get into it. Volition is a favorite of mine and I was hoping to be blown away by a new album after 7 years. Hoping this single isn't indicative of the album as a whole.

Yeah I feel the same way, I didn't (and still dont) like scurrilous very much, but thought Volition ripped. So hopefully this one will be good too, but PTH don't have a spotless track record on writing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OU818 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Might just be me but damn does his voice sound messed. The choruses are great but the verses do nothing for me. Doesn't feel too much like the same band at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billich0986 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 0 for 2. Neither of these singles did anything for me. That said, I didn't like Scurrilous when it first came out, but I went back and revisited it a few years later and really enjoy it now. I'll probably hold onto my pre-order for that reason.

V3XED Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hey all you cool cats and kittens, The album is out now. Give it a listen and then lets fight about it! Haha JK... (but also what does everyone think) N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I gave it one listen during work yesterday and it felt like a big-oof. His voice got a little whiny on this one, guitars seemed much less complex. Will have to sit down and listen. elnombre91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Nice. Stinks the 7" is still coming in, so that's like another 2 weeks before we have it, but updates are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokimedo Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 that black red looks amazing, but i dont like this record enough to cop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verb1999 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Got to say, this has nothing to do with the vinyl pressing as I only ordered the CD & got a digital download, but fishing on the river I got a chance to listen to the download through a bluetooth speaker and upon first listen.....I love this album. Fucking superb job by PTH, don't see what the complaining is all about but give me another couple listens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless a label goes in for a cash grab, I dont see the band ever intentionally pressing it. Its a real shame because I also enjoy it, and would love to have it on wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get them not liking it, but no need to be embarrassed, they were kids and its a kick ass album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If you had not seen, the band released some B-Sides off the album. Looks like either for keeping it a single LP, or something like that they cut two tracks. Also, anyone receive their vinyl yet? Excited to see how all the variants turned out, verb1999 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I got all my records in yesterday. Need to photo it up. Red/Black/Clear Blood came out real good. Only listed to the 7" thus far and it sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
