SW is quite the bass player
"That gum you like is going to come back in style."
Nate is quite a good player too
Whoa! You've been living under a rock.not seen a guitar like that before
Czyzy, thanks for starting this properly named thread!
Waiting for my deluxe box set...yeah I'm a sucker for that shit. Only listened to Harridan because I wanted to sit down with the whole thing. If Paulie likes it chances are I will too
...and Nate is an amazing bass player. Loved his work on Devin Townsend's Empath and was lucky to see that line-up just before the lockdown

Dunno about the pickups, but the angle on the frets (fanned frets) are for better intonation, giving each string a fret scale that best suits it, as the lower you go, the longer the scale the string ideally requires.
If you want to go batshit crazy and give each note on the fretboard the exact scale it needs to be purely in tune, there's always true temperament necks. I totally want to try one of these:
Listened to the whole album. I like the more melancholy songs that remind me of Signify era PT.

It's still growing on me, I don't think it will be anywhere near my fave PT album at all but I'm enjoying it. Rats Return is a killer riff!

Wow. I have given the new album a couple of spins now and I'm actually blown away. Well done PT and welcome back

I keep going back to Rats Return. Some serious riffage there!
"That gum you like is going to come back in style."
Been listening to the 10 tracks (3 bonus) as a whole at least 4 times now and I'm fairly impressed. Nothing groundbreaking here, but still IMO it's better than The Incident, and more reminiscent of In Absentia. Dead Wing and Fear Of A Blank Planet, which is not a bad thing. And I will be seeing them in concert in September, and I'm certain that all of these new songs will empress even more. Oh and let me say this...I'm most impressed at SW's bass playing. He's REALLY good! Gavin has chosen the musicians to replace Colin and John on stage, so I'm also certain that the stage show will be just as great as the past. And has anyone seen this yet? It's worth the watch and listen:
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
How did you guys get a copy so early? I'm doing shipping between the UK and Canada (confirmed last week) but nothing yet!! I can't wait to receive this baby.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
tbh i find it a disappointment. the only songs i think work or are new is some of Rats Return, Herd Culling, Walk The Plank, and Chimera's Wreck's brush work. Dignity's main riff reminds me of Rush's Main Monkey Business' opening riffs...and the rest just, to my ears, aren't interesting or well-written enough. maybe it'll grow on me hopefully...otherwise these'll all be hard to sit through live when i'd rather hear their other songs.
