Tanner's probably pissing himself. Don't really care about this band but I'll give this a listen or two once it's out.

I'm really looking forward to this new album. Especially as one of the people who crowdfunded it.

I was actually quite uninterested in Scurrilous; the technicality of their playing increased but Roddy writes some dumb lyrics for shit. I wish we can get another Kezia. Hell, another Fortress will be good.

First listen through and this album is pretty beast. Don't want to call it too early, but I think this will be my favorite PtH album.

Quite similar to Scurrilous, perhaps a bit stronger. Both of which are far inferior to Fortress imo. EDIT after a few more listens: Actually this is an excellent album, not as far behind Fortress as I thought at first.

Save for the slightly overtly cheesy vocals and the lack of stand-out singles, this record is nearly flawless.

I still don't know with this record. I possibly need some more listens to get it to sink in, but I'm not feeling "it" the way I did instantly when I discovered the other 3 albums...

Definitely their best so far. Equally fun and clever as someone already said above. Will 9 this one if it don't get tired of it soon, which will probably be the case.

Don't know what all those people saying this is their best album been listening... Volition is simply so far from the brilliance of Fortress and Kezia. Of course, they've got skills and all, and still write interesting stuff (like the first two songs) and a few brilliant moments here and there, but they did all this before and much better.

Good release, but Fortress is still the best one from them.

Written by Guest on 07.11.2013 at 22:34 If it's just good, then wouldn't you rate it lower than a 9? A 9 is a little overboard for something that is "good".

On my 8th time through, Fortress is still their best album, but Volition is honestly just a sliver behind, it's pretty damn good. Love all of the guest performances, makes this album feel like a big deal. UPDATE Yeah, now that I've listened to this album legit 20 times, I put it above Fortress. I'm in love. Been a while since I've been so enamored with an album.

It's a shame that PTH are more interested in wanking (musically speaking) than making great songs now. What a disappointment. I like technical and complex music, but not when it's done this way. Scurrilous was so good though...

This album is like a hundred times better than Scurrilous. Scurrilous was awful. This, on the other hand, might be their best yet.

After lots of listens I can clearly say that I consider Volition to be a great record and an album the band should be proud of.

Written by BloodTears on 04.01.2014 at 14:32 Not sure I agree about Scurrilous, but this album had a great deal of wankery. I wish they would return to the top quality of Fortress.

Written by Uldreth on 20.10.2013 at 18:54 There's like zero -core in this indeed. In my opinion it's closer to overwanked power metal than anything else.
