Protest The Hero "Scurrilous"

"C'est La Vie" with this fast pace this awesome skittering guitar work. Rody Walker has a killer voice for metal. and as the pendulum wore off, the sheep went to the slaughter and be hit by a train, only to be let loose but that poor sheep had no idea where he was going, wrote his story and "Oh, what a price to pay to be the author of your fate/The trains were fifteen minutes late (to be the author of your fate)." He can hit some high notes, The solo starting at 1:36 along with the background bass, and interesting drum hiccup kick SOMUCH>>>You know how sometimes guys pull a girl's hair? Well, what if there was a "Hair Trigger" and a gun set off from the ".... G***** love song to praise everything I hate/And kids were wanting the chorus line/And assailed my picture's frame." and it is real cool,Has a splash of funk bass, real short, but climbing the chords never sounded as fun as it does here. and when Jadea Kelly sings with Walker in the final minute; there is more funk before it finishes with a metallic riff. Walker is a little ticked off "Like there could be a justification/For the lives it takes and the lives that it's taken." There is a nice short groove around 1:52, and killer percussion and guitar, but this song is another love song dedicated to her, as the saints walk the earth, and patrolling the sky, and riding "Tandem" during night.It's fast, it's angry, it's bass kicks, and the percussion is all good. Like it couldn't get better after three minutes; it did as the chorus soars and the instrumentals ride side by side.The song about touring and riding the bus for most of the days with minimum exposure,sleeping, and doing other stuff. They see the light, but it's not the same. After another day is gone, they live to see the "Moonlight,"so they don't exactly live to see another day.That short and sweet spot at 2:08 before returning to the gliding rythymis no match for what followsat 3:52 before quickening the speed. They painted a negative"Tapestry" in this song  with a song of a generation aging, but not growing up, wasting the days on the couch and the nights drinking the pain away stressing out with hair falling and the will to not do anything. Creeping death is waiting the whole time who comes to take your soul who says you can have anything you want (Money prevents that), but when its time you're mine. This funk/metal angerscream workout is perfect for listening to when you're ticked off,and then it lightens up for like twenty seconds; oh yeah, this finish is truly great. "Dunsel" is a sweet song and either talks about vapid pop music (not all pop), or music that is made for consumption and just for money,not for the love of making it "All these songs sound so damn good/Even if their meaning's hollow/Hollow words dry out your mouth/And you might find it hard to swallow all this s***/That we keep feeding to keep ourselves and you believing/That no money can change us then a door opens up and/Some devil persuades us." It think that the "Reign of Unending Terror" is about bands that have been in the businesss so long that they don't really care about the fans as much as they say they do and treat them like crud "Twice our bitter lifetime /Tucked tightly in their belts /But spat and bit in such a way /That you just know how it felt /What it means to be a man /And what it means to refuse it /Things I learned along the way /While listening to their music." The ending of this track sounds like an R&B song done in metallic fashion. I would have to say that "Termites" is about how poeple in rock bands are just people that know more people as he proclaims that they are not gods and at night they become invincible.I Never Told You What I Do For A Living in the beginning, but before this rushing pace and bass lead to a powerful singalong before more rushing to finish, so Walker can get to his appt on time, they start slow and sure. The next song is referring to Walker exactly as he he dabbles in intrapersonal communication, as well as therapy, about this affliction that fame has caused this little "Tounge-Spitter" in a song with a fast paced and instrumentals, as well as vocals, perfoemed with conviction "So I apologize, mostly to the four or five guys/Who stand behind me on the stage every night/As the mic starts to whisper/And the words start to blister in my mouth/That I know aren't right/I gotta get back to who I was before my last ten years on auto-pilot." Have you ever heard how porn screws everything up? When it comes to relationships, because when you start start to watch porn it becomes addicting to some and they start to view women less as people and more as objects, internet or other porn, and that's what these "Sex Tapes" are about; these may actually be worth watching with killer instrumentation and a powerful message. The whole record is great, but If I was feeling "Scurrilous"and wanted to swear in song I would choose: C'est laVie, Hair Trigger, Dunsel, Termites, and Tongue Spitter.
