I think Colors is way overrated.  I would have had an easier time getting into BtBaM initially if someone had showed me Alaska first.  But TGM is simply amazing.

Does anyone hear the part after the first chorus of Swim to the Moon and think "Circle of Manias"?

I just found out yesterday that BTBAM was playing a show in my town... on the 8th of Nov.  >:(

How is the band live?

They are great live. I saw them Nov. 7th in Dayton and they were very tight, especially on the older stuff.

Awesome.

Check out the Colors DVD.

They are usually more active live than the dvd too.

Maybe not MP back in his prime, but I definitely think he's got more skills than MP does now.

as a drummer, blake is a lot better than mike. mp hasn't progressed at all in the past 10 years, while blake does new stuff every album. chops wise, creativity wise, speed wise, blake has got mp.

dont get me wrong, i LOVE mike portnoy. but blake is just above him. nothing wrong with that. MP is perfect for DT and blake can do all the technical stuff along with the heavier metal stuff

I respectfully disagree. I've heard a lot of people say MP can't 'groove'. To me, that's absolute BS. Blake on the other hand, is very technical and perfect for BTBAM, but I much prefer MP's style.

I would say the 5.1 mix was nice but there was definitely some parts that I didn't know were there until i heard the 5.1 mix.

Really interesting video. I liked it. I'm trying to find the link between the lyrics and the song, but the one line that definately had some impression in the video was "A magicians pure joy..."
