That's the best part of the song IMO. It gives it unity and a cool vibe.

The Ectopic Stroll is really one of the best songs I've heard in a while, it has the perfect mixture of epic/dramatic vibes and quirkiness. It just lacks a bit of heaviness, than it would be a truly perfect mixture.

It's hard for me to point at any specific standouts (either positive or negative), but that's part of why I like the album so much. I love it from start til finish, something I can only really say about Colors if we look at their other albums. I do very much like TGM (which falls slightly short) and Parallax has the weakest endings for me, but Coma is just awesome from the start until the end. Whether it's Rapid Calm, Memory Palace, King Redeem/Queen Serene or any of the other tracks.

Ranking? Sure

King Redeem/Queen Serene - One of the best choruses BTBAM has ever made, this song is pretty much perfect. Definitely my favorite, it's got beautiful moments and straight up fucking badass moments.

Famine Wolf - Everything about this song is amazing. The heaviness, the cool eerie vibes, it's great.
Turn on the Darkness - I think this is the most melodic from the album. This one is really nice, love all the different moments.
Memory Palace - Still love this one ever since I first heard it. 4:15-5:25 may be my favorite part of the album. Tommy's best moment of the album I think.
The Coma Machine - For what little time they are in this song, I love the growls a few minutes in. That part is Badass.
The Ectopic Stroll - Really quirky, reminds be a bit of Haken. I like it!
Rapid Calm - Love the calm section of the song, and the ending is really good as well. Probably the weakest of the longer tracks IMO.
Node - Love the vocals on this one. Great intro.
Dim Ignition - Love this one. Wish it was a little longer but I like how it segues into the next track.
Life in Velvet - Cool ending, still maybe hasn't fully clicked.
Option Oblivion - Hasn't really clicked with me yet. Maybe i just haven't heard it enough but it's pretty good.

I don't know, I really love Rapid Calm. Those keyboards in combination with the "Darkness"-part is just really darn epic, one of my favorite parts of the album.

I love Dim Ignition. I get hella hyped every time I listen to it.

pre-ordered one of the vinyl bundles, haven't heard the albun though. I just have blind faith in anything BTBAM. I'm so excited

New album streaming online https://www.metalsucks.net/2015/07/06/stream-between-the-buried-and-mes-coma-ecliptic/

Halfway through the album now and it's definitely more laid back with less harsh vocals, music wise it's still the same ol kick ass BTBAM

Nearmyth · « **Reply #465 on:** July 06, 2015, 09:45:38 PM »

This album is impossible to rank right now, every song has some amazing parts.

The "Lift our limbs to focus" lyric part from Coma Machine

The heavy guitar riff in the chorus of Famine Wolf (1:38)

THAT chorus of King Redeem/Queen Serene

2:30 - 4:17 of Turn On the Darkness is one of the most genius parts of the album

THAT chorus of The Ectopic Stroll

That spacey part of Rapid Calm (5:39-6:25) is sooo good. Not to mention the outro.

Memory Palace is a headbang-fest all the way through, but "Live in the name of the ghost" is really epic

And the reprises in Option Oblivion/Life In Velvet are executed perfectly in my opinion.

mikemangioy · « **Reply #466 on:** July 07, 2015, 12:19:23 AM »

Not to mention the fucking heavy finale in Life In Velvet. Jesus that's quite the climax.

Kinda weird that the release date here in the US is listed as July 10th which is a Friday, I don't remember any release happening like that.

ResultsMayVary · « **Reply #469 on:** July 07, 2015, 08:45:59 AM »

That is particular. I didn't think any band with a well-known label would do anything but a Tuesday release. I wonder what the reasoning behind this was.

faizoff · « **Reply #470 on:** July 07, 2015, 08:50:45 AM »

I just checked and according to amazon Lamb Of God's new album is due to release July 24th which again is a Friday. Has there been a change in release schedules that I've been remiss to?

Nel · « **Reply #471 on:** July 07, 2015, 08:58:53 AM »

I am so happy I just read that July 10 thing, I was just about to leave for the record store. Would have been super bummed to go there and not find it.

Starting later this month all new releases are being changed to Friday's globally, so everything will be out the same day everywhere.

How in the fuck did I miss an announcement like this?

Apparently a lot of people are unaware. I'm studying for a degree in the music industry, so I try and stay on top of stuff like that. But I guess I'm not surprised it's not bigger news, to many people it's just a new day to buy your album

ariich · « **Reply #475 on:** July 08, 2015, 02:50:13 AM »

I knew it had been proposed a few months back, but had no idea it had been confirmed and was happening now. Good stuff!

mikemangioy · « **Reply #476 on:** July 08, 2015, 12:55:11 PM »

I think that Colors just clicked. IT'S HAPPENING.
THE OBSESSION SHALL START

THE ENDLESS OBSESSION!

...Wait. Different album. Never mind.

PROGdrummer · « **Reply #478 on:** July 08, 2015, 07:59:52 PM »

Spoiler for those who havent listened to Coma Ecliptic yet, but

Paul's vocal part in Turn on the Darkness is so fucking great. Best part of the album, best song imo.

Fuck this album is amazing. These riffs are literally jaw dropping. How do they make these sounds with instruments?

XB0BX · « **Reply #479 on:** July 08, 2015, 08:53:42 PM »

I hate hardcore music and vocals (note that I like death metal), will I like this album?

Wait...wut? If you like death metal, what is it about hardcore vocals you don't like? One either likes "cookie monster" or they don't...

But to attempt to answer your question....I don't know. Why don't you check the free stream and find out?

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #481 on:** July 08, 2015, 09:49:04 PM »

Metalcore/hardcore harsh vocals are way way different from typical death metal vocals.

That's like saying someone will like black metal vocals just because they like death metal.

Big Hath · « **Reply #482 on:** July 08, 2015, 09:50:17 PM »

I see a fairly distinct difference between death and hardcore vocals (at least what I think of when I think of those two genres). Death being the lower cookie monster growl and hardcore having a higher screamier (?) tone.

Zantera · « **Reply #483 on:** July 08, 2015, 11:28:35 PM »

The new album is definitely more to the prog side, so you will probably be fine.

me7 · « **Reply #484 on:** July 09, 2015, 12:23:20 AM »

You should give the latest album a try then. The band has gradually moved away from *core towards prog.

mikemangioy · « **Reply #485 on:** July 09, 2015, 12:33:46 AM »

This is my go-to album right now for getting people into BTBAM.
Still, my friends find them horrible. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE A CHORUS OH DARN EVERYTHING CHANGES

Btw, tonight I dreamt that Coma Ecliptic had arrived. Let's see if it was shipped...

This album (and quite frankly, the band) is in no way anything reminscient of "hardcore".
Its quirky progressive death metal.
Think Mr. Bungle meets Genesis meets Opeth.

mikemangioy · « **Reply #487 on:** July 09, 2015, 12:52:26 PM »

Mr.Bungle meets Genesis meets Opeth is a perfect way to describe this band

me7 · « **Reply #488 on:** July 09, 2015, 02:47:59 PM »

The Genesis part is a bit redundand since Opeth already is Death Metal meets Genesis.

The vocals are incredibly hardcore.
