1: Colors

2/3: TGM / Coma Ecliptic (TGM has higher highs but also lower lows, still too soon to say for sure which one I like more)
4: Future Sequence
5: Alaska
6: Hypersleep Dialogues

...and I haven't really enjoyed anything I've heard from the first two albums so I've never listened to either of them in full.

You teach us what was
You teach us what was out there

Lift our limbs to focus
We'll soon drift through to night

Damn, such an earworm! I really like the song and the music video.

I was surprised by how much, well, gentler album Coma Ecliptic is than their previous work. Like Tommy sings more clean than harsh vocals. Not necessarily a bad thing though, for I do like Colors, but it might be even too heavy for me. TGM and Future Sequence are more balanced, although I don't know the latter too well.

I'd really like to see them live again, but I'm not sure whether I'll have enough money to travel to Helsinki and back. And I'd want to have some company and my friends don't know BTBAM.

When it was first released, I didn't like it. But now, it just pops in my head ALL THE TIME, randomly for no reason.

Quoted for truth... ALL THE TIME. Dim Ignition does it too for me; I find myself wanting to do the "I can't dance" strut when I think of Dim.

I've got to say, as someone who honestly only had an affinity for Selkies before this album, I've worn Coma out! Especially Memory Palace on to Life in Velvet... awesome, awesome album. Album of the year for me easily (with Underworld a semi-distant second).

BTW, nice avatar Wolf. Still listen to Pull almost once a week.

I can't stop spinning this album.

ariich · « **Reply #670 on:** September 09, 2015, 03:33:07 PM »

So I'm massively late with it due to a very busy and slightly stressful summer, but I've finally got my review of the new album done: https://www.ladyobscure.com/albums/between-the-buried-and-me-coma-ecliptic/

tl;dr version: I love it.

TioJorge · « **Reply #671 on:** September 10, 2015, 11:51:37 AM »

Great review!!
Still spinning this everyday. The track I listen to most, not only due to its immense groovyness and badassery, but also time-frame, is Dim Ignition. Shit makes me get DOWN!

Zantera · « **Reply #672 on:** October 04, 2015, 03:26:25 PM »

Just saw them live for the second time, and they were great! Happy that I finally got to hear Ants of the Sky live (my favorite song from them) and there were a few nice changes in the set from the last time.

Selkies: The Endless Obsession
The Coma Machine
Astral Body
Lay Your Ghosts to Rest
Memory Palace
Famine Wolf
Ants of the Sky
--Encore--
White Walls

Overall a really great show. I hope they change things up even more the next time, would love to see Swim to the Moon, though it feels unlikely they'll bring it out.

Scorpion · « **Reply #673 on:** October 04, 2015, 03:32:29 PM »

That is a superbly sexy setlist. My favourites songs off of their three best albums? Yeah baby.

TioJorge · « **Reply #674 on:** October 04, 2015, 03:44:01 PM »

God damn, I want to see Famine Wolf live so badly!!!

Other than that, awesome setlist but it's almost exactly the same as the last time I saw them barring the CE songs. Which, granted, given their setlists (at least the couple times I've seen them) aren't huge, it's a pretty big impact changing just a few songs but even so, I'm hoping the next time I see them (which...at this rate might not even be till the next album

) they change it up a bit more. But hell, I'll see Selkies, Ants, Ghosts and White Walls a million times and not get bored.

But motherfucking Famine Wolf is...christ, I'd go see a show just to see them play that one song.

By far and away my favorite song off the new album, especially since Dim Ignition is my second favorite and the two intertwine BEAUTIFULLY.

Zantera · « **Reply #675 on:** October 04, 2015, 04:30:05 PM »

I only got White Walls duplicate compared to the Parallax II tour setlist. At that concert I got a few nice ones like Mordecai and Sun of Nothing (now "replaced" with Selkies/Ants) and different picks from Parallax II.

TioJorge · « **Reply #676 on:** October 04, 2015, 05:31:07 PM »

Oh my fuck. I would literally eat a live skunk and become a eunuch whilst participating in a bukakkee session of hairy sumo wrestlers just to see Mordecai live.

I'm not even going to hope for it. But if it ever happened, I could then die happy. The jelly is overflowing within me. That's awesome.

Mosh · « **Reply #677 on:** October 04, 2015, 06:02:54 PM »

Any chance they'll do the whole new album on the upcoming USA tour?

I'm just getting into them so I don't know what their setlist tendencies are, but I know they've done all of Colors and Parallax (at least on that DVD) so all of Coma Ecliptic would be pretty cool too.

They said that they're gonna do CE in its entirety next year so probably another mixed setlist this time again.

Very similar to what we got, just we got Prequel to the Sequel instead of White Walls and then had Bohemian Rhapsody as an encore.

TioJorge · « **Reply #680 on:** October 05, 2015, 12:00:12 AM »

NOICE! That's even better for me since I won't be able to go to any concerts till next year anyway. Woot! The music gods have smiled upon my putrid soul!

Prequel to the Sequel would have been great (since I haven't heard it live) but we got Bohemian Rhapsody last time, and while it was enjoyable, I think finishing with White Walls is better.

ariich · « **Reply #682 on:** October 05, 2015, 03:55:34 AM »

Yeah White Walls is amazing so I prefer your setlist, but the overall setlist is definitely awesome.

Zantera · « **Reply #683 on:** October 05, 2015, 04:13:01 AM »

I was slightly surprised they didn't play anything from TGM and that they did play Selkies, after what they have said about Selkies in various interviews, and not wanting to play older material. The TGM songs feel closer to what they are doing now, so I almost expected something from it. Was nice getting Selkies though, especially if they are getting slightly tired of it, and they might not play it on the next tour.

Heretic · « **Reply #684 on:** October 05, 2015, 11:39:25 PM »

Yeah, when I saw them they played Prequel and Bohemian Rhapsody. Jealous you got White Walls, but I absolutely adore Prequel, so it was a fair trade I suppose.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #685 on:** November 27, 2015, 10:18:24 PM »

I peeked at their setlist...

In no way am I missing this show. I will say my favorite is being played.

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #686 on:** January 12, 2016, 11:05:13 PM »

Anyone else listen to Orbs, the progressive/experimental band Dan plays guitar/bass for? I've been listening to their album Asleep Next To Science pretty much nonstop the past few days. The vocals are an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, damn, it'll blow you away.

I listened to it a few times back last year or so, it's definitely a great album!

Randaran · « **Reply #688 on:** March 19, 2016, 03:43:01 PM »

I saw BTBAM again a few weeks back; these guys never fail to put on a great show.

Would anyone be interested in a BTBAM Survivor?

Crow · « **Reply #689 on:** March 19, 2016, 03:56:05 PM »

i mean i'd vote on a few albums but probably only colors through parallax

Zantera · « **Reply #690 on:** March 19, 2016, 04:11:57 PM »

I'd vote on all of them

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #691 on:** March 19, 2016, 04:58:54 PM »

Would be interested.

Randaran · « **Reply #692 on:** March 19, 2016, 08:27:50 PM »

Cool; I'll start it on Monday.

Right now, I'm planning on running it in one of two ways. One is like the ongoing Redemption survivor, where the top 1 or 2 songs from each album make it to a final set of polls. The other is merging the song rankings of each individual album into a ranking of every BTBAM song. The second will take a lot longer. Any preferences?

Randaran · « **Reply #693 on:** March 21, 2016, 09:54:27 AM »

The survivor is live!

Just had to post to say that I LOVE how the beginning of Fossil Genera - A Feed From Cloud Mountain sounds like the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack from the SNES game

Train of Naught · « **Reply #695 on:** May 05, 2016, 01:38:58 PM »

THATS IT! I could never put my finger on what reminded me so much of that intro, but it's totally the donkey kong theme, thanks for that.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #696 on:** May 05, 2016, 01:42:26 PM »

Man I played that game to DEATH!! Those snow levels with all the flying wasps and shooting barrels were a motherfucker. Need to dig it out and replay it

Train of Naught · « **Reply #697 on:** May 05, 2016, 02:37:01 PM »

Definitely, but with Fossil Genera playing instead of the actual soundtrack.

I really dig the intro and outro of Fossil Genera, some of my favorite moments on the entire album, but everything inbetween has become a big blur to me, making it my least favorite song of my favorite BTBAM album.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #698 on:** May 05, 2016, 02:55:37 PM »

I think it's probably my favourite BTBAM album too, there's something about it

Zantera · « **Reply #699 on:** May 05, 2016, 03:17:52 PM »

Colors is my nr2 but The Great Misdirect is still really good. Not sure if that one or Coma Ecliptic would be my nr2, but it's close. Swim to the Moon is one of my favorite BTBAM songs though, probably second favorite after Ants of the Sky.
