It was confirmed to be Colors II by the Liquid Metal host right before the song premiered, I'm sure there'll be a full announcement tomorrow  :metal :metal

That’s crazy, I was not expecting that!

Colors II: This Time It's Probably Not As Good Because Nothing Else The Band Has Released Is As Good As Colors

As someone who holds Colors in very high regard (their best album by a margin, and I still really like the other ones) I feel this might be a bit gimmicky. I doubt it will reach the levels of the first one but I'll be intrigued to see what they do.

I love Colors, but I admit to liking some of the new stuff even more. Even two years later I think the Automata albums are the best thing they’ve ever done. Parallax is probably next, then Colors.

So it depends. Automata was so good that they didn’t really *need* to do this, so I hope it’s just because they were truly “feeling it” creatively and for no other reason.

It probably won't live up to Colors, but it can still be very good!  Color me intrigued :D  I love everything this band has done since Alaska (the first 2 albums aren't bad), and as they have progressed along the way.  The Great Misdirect is still my favorite album though, so I can't wait for the upcoming tour too!

Honestly, I prefer every album after Colors (except Coma Ecliptic) to Colors itself. Making a sequel to Colors seems weird to me, but I imagine a new BTBAM album will still be really good no matter what it is.

The Parallax II is still my favorite to this day. But Colors is my second and I’m really intrigued to see why they chose to make this a sequel. Hopefully there’s a real good reason and not just for shits and giggles.

New single just popped up on Tidal. Holy crap! Blake has been studying up on his Gavin Harrison-isms. I'm getting lots of King Crimson vibes from this. At the same time is sounds super fresh and unique. I think we might be in for one hell of a ride with this album.

That new single is really good. I'm starting to think the whole "Colors II" name is only because of a similar structure of the album; judging from how this song starts and ends, it sounds like the whole album will flow together seamlessly like the original. That, and this doesn't really sound like anything from Colors, which I think is great; they're not trying to re-do Colors, but instead they're continuing to innovate and try new things. Really excited for how this one's gonna turn out!

I was going to ask about how can Colors have a part two.

And then I started thinking and thought the same as you. The structure could be what's similar in how every song flowed into the next song.

That's actually what I liked about Colors. Except for the flow from Sun of Nothing into Ants In The Sky, as the track cut was an interesting choice to cut off at.

Haven't heard the new song yet.

Also, isn't this the first album since The Great Misdirect to not be a concept album?

Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. And honestly I'm really excited for this- the single sounds incredible! :metal

From Paul Waggoner himself: "The songs are meant to flow in and out of each other like one big chunk of music, creating a seamless and chaotic musical journey".

They're going back to the intricate and heavy sound of Colors/The Great Misdirect/Parallax. The album will be their longest (78 minutes, with a 15 minutes closing song). Naming it Colors 2 might be a bad decision, because some people will expect it to sound exactly like Colors, which it won't, but there definitively will be throwbacks to Colors.
I think Colors is great, but overated. They showed more maturity in their harmonic and formal writing in their subsequent records. Their masterpiece is Parallax 2, so I'm perfectly fine with the new album not sounding like Colors.
If the single and the small piece of another song that has leaked (which is better than the single) and are any indication, it seems the new album is going to be a recapitulation of their whole career in a beautiful chaotic mess.

Yeah, I'm thinking naming it Colors 2 is part of the marketing. Because it's what sells and they noticed and saw the amount of people that were watching the Colors live stream. And then enjoying playing these Colors songs, and they felt, why not make an album that flows like one song, again.

Kind of funny if you ask me. As people will buy it for thinking it's the same as Colors. And we will buy it to see if it is like Colors and others will buy it because it's BTBAM.

I am interested to see if they do take all the new stuff they learned and incorporate it into the old style of Colors and blend them into new shades of Colors. Hence Colors 2.  :lol

I forgot: on a DT forum, there is no one to say that Mike Portnoy plays on the single?

The drum solo is actually four solos, by Blake Richardson, Mike Portnoy, Navene Koperweis and Ken Schalk.
Portnoy's solo is quite tasty.

While it doesn't really sound like Colors, there was a riff in that song after the solo I think that's a dead ringer of a White Walls riff.

Is it me or there are some Ants of the Sky riffs thrown in the new single?
I am totally sure that the melody played on 0:23, 1:06 & 2:20, is the same one played at the beginning of AOTS("... more jagged than normal" at 0:10).
After all it is Colors II and I think we will find revisits throughout the album.

HAH. So they released a new single today and they did the usual Spotify thing where they added a new "EP" with the new single first and then the previous single right afterwards. I think that's usually just done to squeeze out some extra plays or whatever. I was thinking to myself, "what if that's actually the sequence on the album..." and sure enough the ending of Revolution In Limbo directly segues into Fix The Error just like something from Colors would. Well fucking played.

Revolution In Limbo has been on repeat! What a beast of a song! The trade of vocals are heavy as hell  :hefdaddy

It does remind me a lot of Parallax 2 and Lay Your Ghosts To Rest actually but in a Colors way. Not that this is a bad thing. Parallax 2 is amazing. Anyway hope that the rest of the songs sounds like this and this will be some of the best material BTBAM has put out!
