Nah, it's objectively correct or you would have said something to defend the albums instead of covering your eyes and ears and saying it's not true

AS I WALK THROUGH THESE CITY STREETS, THESE FRIGHTENED PEOPLE WATCHING ME PASS

You will fight. But when you fight, you'll fight alone

The other half is excellent though. Unrest in the House of Light is low-key my favorite

Even if they never release Act 3, "This City Made Us" is pretty good

Will Act 3 be a happy ending bros

I hope so but I doubt it

Bittersweet is probably the best we're going to get considering how Act 1 ends

Does anyone else imagine the following instrumental section to be a montage of the next 12 years as Light builds Proto-man?

This album is so much better than it should be. It's such a massive step up from act 1.

Am I the only one that thinks 'Keep Quiet' is vastly underrated?

WHAT WAS HER NAME

"Breaking Out", "Keep Quiet" and "Light Up the Night" are unironically one of the greatest trilogies of songs I have ever heard

I always listen to the three of them back-to-back

The definitive ranking (sans Intermission):
>Light Up the Night
>Keep Quiet
>The Hounds
>Breaking Out
>Father of Death
>The Good Doctor
>The State Vs. Thomas Light
>Here Comes the Arm
>Give Us the Rope
>The Fall
>How the World Fell Under Darkness

This but unironically

They are playing near me in a couple of months. Worth seeing them?

>just announced a new tour
Jesus guys, just go into the studio for a bit, for the love of god.

Yes.

I always hate contrarians who harp on about Act 1, but you take it to another level.

Funny thing about that because Wily becomes a hero to the people whereas Light has to build a hero.

Doesn't matter! now listen

If you like The Protomen, particularly Act II, you should listen to some Meat Loaf.

It was the last time they saw each other as friends

>Protomen are nothing but a shitty cover band now

This one's a favorite of mine: youtube.com/watch?v=jAeoW2IS3g0&t=9s

Making hyperboles isn't an argument, retard.

YOU NEED TO KNOW

I'm okay with this. Dig their cover of Silent Running more than the original

and yet despite espousing opposite view points in the end they turn to the means of their former partner and Light becomes the "hero" on the screen and with the birth of Proto and Megaman Wily has built the heroes that with their hands of steel he tries to overcome.

Why is it so hard to pick which half of Act 2 is best? Both are such separate moods it's hard to compare them

It's been 10 years since Act II came out, user. I've given everything I can.

Pleb of the highest caliber. The first one’s fuzzy radio sound sets the tone for its distant future dystopian backdrop, while the neon retro beats of vol 2 is supposed to set the tone for a past narrative. You just can’t into stylistic narratives, that’s all.

THE GOOD DOCTOR HAS TO PAY

Did this band break up, are they ashamed of being a video game band, or are they afraid of disappointing people? What's up with the wait

BUT I KNOW A HERO WILL COME

I miss when the Protomen used to play small cons and stuff. It was cool having the time to shoot the shit and drink with them, they're really cool dudes. Except for The Gambler, she's a prissy bitch.

Definitely. It's fun to see Raul Panther put on the helmets, and they have a great amount of energy when they perform.

Act III when?

I just recently noticed how much I love the song Vengeance. It's become the song I put on to get me in the mood while getting ready for a football match.

Yes, especially with TWRP alongside them. I've seen both play separately live. I can't imagine that they could be anything less than fantastic together.

>Protomen will never play in Europe
One of the top 3 bands I want to see live but probably never will.

When I first heard Act 1 I was very iffy on it but now I love it. The whole thing is fantastic and Vengeance was the song that made me really fall in love with the album

I know you're at least 2/3's wrong, so I have hope that you're totally full of shit.

Stop being a hysterical bitch and enjoy some music

I'm the type of guy who only listens to the first few minutes of any new album a lot before really digging into the whole thing for some reason, so when I first got in contact with Protomen I really loved Unrest in the House of Light, but never really cared much about the other stuff. Took me a while to notice how utterly great the album as a whole is.

Is this why we are not getting Act III? I guess a lot of stuff can happen over the course of ten years...

Have you seen the list of people who are no longer in the band? It's literally like 20 people.

Word got out about him assaulting underage female fans and cheating on his girlfriend. Gambler talked about it on her Tumblr a few years back.

Protomen has pretty big tumblr following. Mega Man in general is a hit with those types of girls anyway because of the cute designs.

I went to a Protomen concert, it was like 25% girls under 21.

We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope

No helmet?

hope
rides

This, except Act 1 sucked dick too. If you fags want Wagnerian rock and rock operas just listen to some goddamn Meat Loaf or something. Hell, Streets of Fire does what Act 2 attempts to do, only it does it well. Now get your poorly-mixed, poorly-composed, and poorly-performed dogshit out of here.

Made one. I have a 26 inch beard though. Not willing to shave it and it looks retarded coming out of the helmet. Remaking the costume with an embroidered eyepatch trimmed in red, filled in with white, with "Hope rides alone" in red again. Putting Wily mark on the front belt. No shield so it looks like an older, bearded Protoman who lost an eye. Shaving the head to boot. It is not perfectly faithful but it should be recognizable enough with grey jeans and a shirt.

I think beards and helmets go well together. But well, you're the one making the calls.

Had I made it out of a helmet without a chin piece it may have worked. With a regular helmet it looks very fucking weird. Also it makes it nearly impossible to breathe.

Nope, not getting outta this chair.

It really is surreal. Living in SoCal I've gotten so accustomed to all my bands visiting LA or Santa Ana. I don't like this.

I don't think it'll actually be real

much less be any good

Oh, alright. I was assuming the helmet was without a chin piece, because that's what Protoman's helmet looks like. I get you now, a beard in a helmet WITH a chin piece is stupid.

>newfags being nostalgic for 2009
And so the wheel turns, once and again

From an objective perspective Act 2 is better than Act 1.

I rather see it as him leaving the scene with resolve to go into the shadows to build Protoman to make a strike back. All while the crowd stays and gets overrun and trampled by Wily's army.
