WTF kind of album title is that.

What's wrong with it?

Sounds like a cheesy sci-fi thing, but honestly doesn't bother me.

Do you guys not understand how self-aware this band is? They have "horse-neighs" in their songs.

SPNKr · « **Reply #1368 on:** February 28, 2011, 07:26:02 PM »

The title doesn't really sound like BTBAM either. Oh well. This is the new them.

i'm not sure how self-aware the inclusion of horse-neigh's make a band.

that being said, horse-neigh FTW!

March bump.

I've been listening to the teaster of Specular Reflection more and I like it more with each listen. I really like the chaotic sounding section where the entire band comes in after the intro.

pain of occupation · « **Reply #1372 on:** March 03, 2011, 11:13:52 AM »

after deciding i was gonna try and avoid listening to the teaser more than once...i slipped and accidentally spun it circa 20 times now (woops). anywayz, guess that means i like it.

April 12th needs to come sooner.

Tried the first two tracks of Colors. So oppressively heavy and in-your-face that I couldn't get past it, and then switched to Radiohead and enjoyed myself much more. SORRY GAIS

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #1375 on:** March 06, 2011, 10:08:26 AM »

FWIW (and I honestly, it's not worth much really), but those two tracks are easily my least favorite on the album. Give some of the others a try before you write them off.

Or just try The Great Misdirect, which is the superior album.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #1376 on:** March 06, 2011, 10:33:57 AM »

Yeah, Zantera said to try TGM so I'll give that a spin before writing them off completely, and I'll try and sit through a full listen or two of Colors too.

Zantera · « **Reply #1377 on:** March 06, 2011, 10:39:29 AM »

Even though a lot of music is "love at first sight" (or well... listen), I still think some of the best are the ones that don't click at once, but might take a few spins.
Dismissing something after ONLY 1 or 2 spins of an album would be crazy, and if I would follow that example myself, I would never have fallen in love with bands like Anathema, Radiohead, The Tallest Man on Earth and BTBAM. (to name a few)

Marvellous G · « **Reply #1378 on:** March 06, 2011, 11:17:10 AM »

Yeah, I completely agree with that, but I've never come to love something so offputting at first listen. Heck, Lateralus bored me on my first listen, and now it's my favourite album ever. I just don't see that happening here, as I actively disliked it first time round.

Also, Tallest Man On Earth was one of the few artists that clicked immediately for me.

I was exactly like that the first time I heard Colors. BTBAM are the only screaming/growling/whatever band I listen to, and it took about 15 listens for it to click, and now it's in my top five albums of all time. I wa lucky enough to be playing WoW at the time, so I just played continually in the background for it kind of "sink in".

You certainly can't judge the Colors album or indeed the band just on those two tracks. The rest of the album is much more progressive and intricate, and often mellow and beautiful. Foam Born is just a 1-2 'punch in the face' compared to the tender massaging of the later tracks

Zantera · « **Reply #1381 on:** March 06, 2011, 02:54:11 PM »

I'm not really into heavy music, and BTBAM was a bit off putting at first, but I wanted to give them an honest chance, and a few spins later =

ResultsMayVary · « **Reply #1382 on:** March 06, 2011, 05:59:59 PM »

I like heavy (Br00tal) music and progressive metal, so I like BTBAM. Pretty simple. lol.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #1383 on:** March 18, 2011, 01:06:21 AM »

I haz a Colors.

Will listen to it pretty soon. I like what I've heard from it. "Prog metal" never catches my interest anymore, aside from a few bands that fall under the classification, like Opeth and Evergrey, but BTBaM seem to avoid a lot of stereotypes.

Zantera · « **Reply #1384 on:** March 18, 2011, 02:07:48 AM »

Hopefully you'll dig it!
Personally I lost interest for Progressive Metal a year ago or something, but BTBAM clicked right away, and hopefully I'll start checking out some more Progressive stuff again.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #1385 on:** March 18, 2011, 10:57:19 AM »

Yeah, I've lost interest in a ton of bands that were once all my favorites, so hopefully BTBAM can be added to the ever-growing pool of new music I'm digging lately.

I'm beginning to lose interest in you mentioning you lost interest in prog metal a year ago.

Yeah I was just kidding around - it's just I seem to stumble upon you saying it a lot, but because I like so much of the music you like anyway, that I think to myself "but you still like my music!".

Going to see these guys on April 22nd in Toledo at Headliners. I'm making the 4 and a half hour trip to see them since they are not coming to Central or Southern Ohio this tour. It's going to be awesome.

Extremely refreshing, too. No self-indulgent individualism. They all work together as one extreme force of nature.

Glad you dig em

.
So, who's up for a marathon/countdown of Alaska, Colors, and TGM right in time for the new EP hitting soil?
(because they're still with their current lineup, that's why I chose the last three)

But you can start from the very start too, whatever you want. Should be fun I think, especially if you haven't overplayed BTBAM.
