I just recently got RF and I can't stop listening to it. I love it and I think the whole world needs to hear these songs.
I really like "the forces of radio" and when I finally read the lyrics I liked it that much more. That one, slaves to liberty, illuminate, sanctuary hum are all outstanding songs. I love this album and I just can't stop listening to it.

I listened to it all the way through a couple times after I first got it. I loved two tracks - Molotov and Sanctuary Hum. The rest? Tolerable I guess. I don't know what it is about this band. They are one of my favorites for some reason and yet there are only a few tracks per album that I ever enjoy. That may be because my favorite songs of theirs are some of my favorites of anyone I listen to. PS and Solace and Another Boredom Movement among them.

Truthless Heroes Is By Far My Favorite Album of All-Time. I got it when it first came out because I was desperate for new music and my mom wanted me to listen to "Christian bands" instead of my favorites at the time, Chevelle and Linkin Park. all I knew about Project 86 was that they were hard and that they'd played at my church in 2000 with the Supertones, I hadn't even bothered watching them when they were there. The first thing that came to mind when I heard it was that it was not at all Christian, (the chorus of the first song has Schwab screaming "I don't need anybody, I don't need anyone!!!"). Reading the lyrics didn't help, as I, being 15, wasn't too sharp at interpreting it all. I loved the music though, and eventually Project 86 was my favorite dirty secret. When I finally understood the lyrics, the album just hit on a higher level to me that no album has ever done since. To me it was Schwab's Finest Hour. The message that he was relaying, along with the new musical style (that was nothing like DBL), were so dead on with me that it has truly been a life-changing album, as crazy as that sounds. I've never looked at most things in my life the same way again; Society, religion, music, and myself especially. Since that was my starting point with Project 86, their self-titled and DBL, although enjoyable, do not strike me at all as being better than Truthless Heroes. STBYBB and ATRWF come very close to it, but don't quite stack as high. I won't lie, I was slightly disappointed with Rival Factions. I liked it, but nowhere near as much as their last three before it. I also credit Truthless Heroes for leading me to Stavesacre, if it hadn't been for Salomon's guest appearance in Last Meal, I may not have given Stavesacre a taste, and that would have truly been a shame.

The new iTunes exclusive EP is really good. The album b-sides "The Kane Mutiny" and "Rte 99" would fit on Factions, but also sound a bit heavier then the other RF tracks.
RF = great. "The Kane Mutiny" EP = great.

So I revisited TH recently and I have to say I have more appreciation for the album now. I have to agree with splintercast...I didn't get the message the first time I bought the album a few years back to complete my P86 collection...and it just hit me this time around, of course the new system in my car may have aided the experience. For me a great band isn't just the music...I have to fall in love with the message, and it just took a little longer for this album to resonate with my life.
