Which is it? It's the first I've seen available. I'd be interested in stuff before that.

Their newest album had shades of a band like that...they lost some of their uniqueness. At least it didn't appeal as much to me.

I can understand how people don't like the change to predominantly clean vocals, but the vocals are still aggressive. I can also understand the dislike of a lack of a concept album with Scurrilous, but the album still delves into some awesome themes. Still, what separates Protest the Hero from bands like Rise Against is their instrumental talent. Also, say what you will about the clean vocals, they're still some of the best vocals out there in that type of genre.

And their first album (although technically an EP) was A Calculated Use of Sound. It was much closer to early AFI than anything they've done since. Roddy has credited Propaghandi for their evolution into metal.

I think I've listened to The Last Baron and Creature Lives ten thousand times each. I get sick of the albums quickly, but I never get sick of their individual songs if that makes any sense. (When iTunes is on shuffle for example).

Creature Lives live rocked my socks.

The Hunter was sweet and still gets plenty of play with me, just jonesing some new tunes

You should look up old Dr. Acula lol, totally different, goofball partycore style. They used to name every song after Goosebumps novels, not sure if they still do that.
