  • I love The Human Abstact. They are an amazing fucking band.

  • hmmm.. muse...

  • @Doomanth OMG YES! they're exactly like a hardcore version of Muse :DDD

  • 66,655 - just 10 more, anyone..?

  • @BEATRIXKIDDO14 66,655=66,665

    I think you mean "66,655 - just 11 more, anyone..?" ;D

  • @gibgib95

    i hate math lol, it's overboard now anyway

  • mmm, one of the few bands to be Great, then become shit, then become much much better.

  • I like everything besides the vocals

  • @DistortedBrain ur brain is distorted!!!!lol

  • I CANT FINISH THIS SONG, EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO IT I HAVE TO START IT OVER CAUSE I FAINT! I NEED HELP!

  • fuck....i need to get this cd!

  • This song is tight . I am a sick man, im a wicked man = YES. Awesome Fyodor reference!

  • @BobbyEshleman who the fuck is fyodor O_O

  • @EpiicDeMiiC Fyodor Dostoyevsky. He is the face on the human abstract patterns t-shirt called propohanda black. His writing is epic and dark, and this song has a line that is a direct quotation of the very first line in Dostoyevsky's book "Notes From Underground". The quote is "I'm a sick man, I'm a wicked man".

  • @BobbyEshleman Interesting.

  • @EpiicDeMiiC utrollinbro?

    He is only one of the greatest writers of all time ... ;P

    lrn2educate

  • @cheesenugget38 I had it explained faggot, your on my dick b.c i asked a question about something i didnt know.

    and your comment is cliche as fuck, L2diversify.

  • @EpiicDeMiiC

    Correction:

    "I had it explained, (comma) you (specification) faggot. You are (contracted to you're) on my dick because (not b.c) I (capitalized) asked a question about something I (capitalize) didn't (apostrophe) know.

    However (sentences don't begin with and), your comment is cliché (at least spell it right) as fuck, L2 diversify.

    I was just trying to piss you off by the way. It worked LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • @cheesenugget38 You pissed me off ?

    i was just lettin you know that you are an asshat.

  • @cheesenugget38 lol..lonely grammar nazi on the youtubes.

  • @WobbleFettt I just feel that I need to accomplish my one good deed a day. I educated a man on how to type ;)

    And yeah, I guess I am kinda lonely. I learned to play like 4 of their songs on guitar ahahahahah.

  • Come through the city Vancouver British Columbia or Prince Gorege British Columbia to have a concert.

  • between the buried and me is on every single comment board of progressive metal. shut up

  • @MrTimTimmyTimothy

    Right? i dont see the big deal with BTBAM; they are pretty good when they arent doing that stupid blast beat, tremelo picking, and sweep picking shit, but it feels like they do it all the time.

  • @StaulkHolm that's normally what every metal band does every song they just do a great job at it.

  • @StaulkHolm have you seen them live? they are incredible. They do have stuff thats notably BTBAM style, like the blast beats, and something i find that puts alot of people off by them, and my least favourite quality is the guitar tone lol. but w.e to each their own!

  • @ready0khafka

    yeah, they are really good live. 

  • @StaulkHolm

    If only you paid attention to the song structure that btbam creates across the board, for every instrument.

    Between the Buried and Me are a band that you have to be able to look at the big picture for, and actually get a feel for the lyrics as well. Tommy Rogers isn't a lyricist, he's a story teller, and the instrumental support he has behind him to help him portray his stories is absolutely perfect for every feeling that he wants the listener to feel.

  • I love this I want to go to your concert

  • look in the tags. girls? laughing baby? lol wtf

  • @pbpb1287 lmao

  • So sick of seeing people, metal fans, punk fans, pop fans bitching at each other about which band is better blah blah blah. YOU have your own opinion, don't you dare tell someone else that they are wrong.

    You're all pathetic, just listen and enjoy. And if you don't enjoy it, go find something you do enjoy!

  • fuck... how have I never heard of these guys before today? I feel like I have failed as a metal fan, these guys are fuckin amazing! Nothing better than discovering a sweet ass new band. It's a good day.

  • Let's just make pretend all time low isn't on the same label as this masterpiece of a band

  • Okay what the hell? This is the human abstract. Aren't you listening to the song?? This is one amazing band and we should all respect it by not fighting and listening to this beautiful music. These guys aren't JUST metal. Have some fucking common sense and stop arguing with some little kid over youtube for christsake

  • I miss the old Human Abstract...

  • @jakenum30

    Why?

  • At the end of the day, people who make music make it for themselves as it is their expression, and if they don't you end up with corporate shit. Don't like the direction a band is going? tough shit. Me and you all as listeners dont have a say other than to listen to a different track OR make your own music // interpretation of a song you feel didnt go how you wanted it to go.

    boohoo, you dont like the album, go make your own.

  • @roadkill1001

    Touché. Enough said.

  • 11 people are fucksticks.

    

  • protest between the human abstract and me.

  • @PedroTightShorts with TesseracT as leaders

  • @PedroTightShorts SikTh needs to be in there somewhere!!

  • wow! this track is insane! consider me a fan \m/

  • Protest and The Human Abstract are BOTH great bands. Why the fuck are we all arguing?

  • lol look at the tags for this song. LAUGHING BABY

  • @a7xbfmv555 Don't forget, GIRLS

  • i like their new style. it reminds me of BTBAM

  • @drunkmonkey70706 the old btbam, the new btbam is crap imo, it feels like their musicianship is going to waste so they can fit into the modern style for more record sales >.<

  • @scrambledegg4life

    Hahah what?? The musicianship and composition of the Parallax Hypersleep Dialogues EP was just as good, if not better, than Colors, and I'm sure the follow-up album will be phenomenal. And they can play one hell of a live show :D

    Anyways, this is by far the best song on Digital Veil.

  • @0BFUSCATION honestly im not judging their musicianship, because btbam has amazing musicians, i am saying their just following the leader when it comes to the type of music they're playing, i like the old btbam style better.

  • @scrambledegg4life

    Good musicianship+good composition=Great album, or EP in this case. Following the leader? They ARE one of the leaders in the progressive metal scene. Probably one of the most original bands that I've ever personally heard.

    Every BTBAM album has it's own unique sound. I can't really compare their albums to anyone else's, not even their past works, since they progress so much with each release.

    Are you referring to The Silent Circus when you say "Old BTBAM" style?

  • @scrambledegg4life

    Have you ever played any btbam on guitar? If so, then you would know that almost EVERYTHING that they do is unlike anything any other Progressive Metal guitarist would even DARE to try. The newer stuff isn't "following" any sort of leader at all from my knowledge of bands today, and if you can name a few of the bands that they sound like, please do...because I want to hear them!

  • Enough of this DEBATE! This is a call to EVERYONE fighting and posting arguments on all the YOUTUBE vids for THA: Let it go! Nocturne is their absolute perfection. Nathan made some mistakes and it shows on Midheaven. But, it's not all bad. This is one of the better tracks. Digital Veil is a valiant attempt to correct his mistakes which it does with some exception. Musically, it is an improvement. Bottom line: quit fighting and try and except their changes/evolution as a band or be silent.

  • 2:37 <- sex

  • Miss the old tha

  • the only thing that could make this song better is if it was 5+ minutes

  • @toxicapathy

    disagreed! I'd rather have it short and snappy instead of overblown

  • @toxicapathy I think it's perfect length... =/

  • Comment removed

  • This song makes me jizz,especially at the part where the guitar solos and breaks down.

  • really love the guitar play in this song.

  • this is a like muse mixed with avenged sevenfold into a sexy ass metalcore song :D

  • I liked Nocturne the best..

  • I don't want to spoil the record by listening to the songs here, but I can't help it.

  • GOD, this song is so good...

  • i never knew their were so many critics in metal!!!!!....i hear nothing wrong with the vocals or the album and even if they did change ....who cares ,, they just got better.....

    this shit rrules!!!!

  • I appreciate the Neapolitan chord in first inversion (For example, at 2:28). You almost never hear that outside of Classical music.

  • did anyone else notice in half the songs travis says something about thieves "in every bet theres a fool and a thief" "our monuments built by thieves"(complex terms) "fondled our teeth and sold them off to thieves"(antebellum)

  • There is one thing i dont like about this album... IT ENDS!!!!

  • This song kinda reminds me of something dream theater would come out with

  • @blazin240sx I agree.

  • this guy cant sing

  • @GrimsonGhost Says the guy with the Galvatrons in his favorites.

  • Midheaven sucked dick and you all know it Nocturne was the best album and this one comes in for a close second

  • @Shevanel2 give me some of whatever you're smoking cause Digital Veil is currently this bands best album. Nocturne comes in second. Digital Veil is wayyyyyyyy better harmony that Nocturne. I'm not dissing Nocturne cause im a huge fan but I can clearly see that this bands change is for the better. Way to go T.H.A!

  • not feeling this and am baffled on why they are touring with deathcore/metalcore bands

  • @CroatianNSensationN Have you listened to Faust or Digital Veil (title track)?

  • Hi guys, this is the first time I listened to these guys, and I think I'm a fan!

    Could anyone recommend me their best songs/albums since I don't know anything about them?

  • @FranLesPaul nocturne is definitely the great album...midheaven was alright, those are 2 cds you can download. have fun

  • glad AJ is back, but this band has to have the world's most revolving door lineup of the decade

  • Im new to this band are they pretty famous or they only known by super loyal fans?

  • @illfly14 They're pretty well known among the metal scene, but like every band they have loyal followers and critics.

  • this is the first song i have heard of this band and i kind of like them.

  • man, i'm sorry.. this band is such an acquired taste. a taste which i have not acquired

  • @RiseAndFireBand you'll get there

  • The time has come...

  • by far one of the greatest guitar solos ever, perfectly balanced

  • i could never really get into these guys that much, but they RAPED the stage last night, and im not a fan

  • man i so fucking love the human abstract

  • 11 people dont walk the line

  • I was never a HUGE Abstract fan, but Nocturne was a solid album in my eyes. This albums seems like it won't be quite as good, but still enjoyable. My one beef with this song is the repetitiveness of the guitar part.

    I will say that the cover is ugly as sin though. Not that that would affect the quality of the music, of course.

  • aj is such a sick guitarist

  • @TrueAlmightyOutcast yes he is and you can most certainly tell his return back to the band. his musical input and creativity is outstanding. Pretty much like a modern day metal bach or something

  • @Dibkill i couldnt have said it better

  • i dont think the lead guitarist uses anywhere near enough vibrato in leads. makes the solos and other lead parts sound a bit weak

  • Comment removed

  • that voice bores me to death!

  • ok ,im gonna die of sperm deficiency now.

  • @ncert12 Not to mention you won't e able to use your keyboard anymore...damn shame. Thanks Human Abstract!

  • @xKoalaMASSACREx1

    While I can agree that Nathan's voice was unique, from what I've heard so far Travis is a far better singer, and his growls are fucking ferocious. I like the direction this is going.

  • this is noice =]

  • i love how this feels and sounds like a classical piece(((:

  • One week and then i can finally listen to the full masterpiece. You're good, too good for this fiber-optic world. Your music pulls me from the gallows.

  • aww, being a cynic doesn't make you a wicked man.

  • I know some people dont like how this is mostly clean vocals, but this is my favorite song yet.

  • So far the album sounds good, but not as good as Protest the Hero's Scurrilous.

  • @TheFeral666 Although I was a bit disappointed with Scurrilous, as well. Didn't feel like they made the album special like they did with Kezia and Fortress. I haven't read the lyrics to it, though, and I know Rody wrote the lyrics for 3/4 of the album.

  • @deadpisser88 I thought that too at first, but when I listened in-depth to each song, i began to like them all. The guitar parts are definitely the most technical out of any of their albums. The lyrics are pretty deep too; read the lyrics for the song Tandem. Rody wrote that and most of the songs, except for C'est La Vie, Moonlight, and Sex Tapes, which Arif wrote. I think the album overall is the heaviest, despite Rody not screaming for most of it.

  • @TheFeral666 Idk, Scurrilous seems like a huge step down from Fortress so im pretty disappointed in it.

  • @Fatzilla22 I'm a hardcore metalhead and I admit that Scurrilous isn't as heavy as Fortress, but it's way more melodic. It took me several listens to fully respect it, but I now love every single song, as opposed to Fortress, (I wasn't a huge fan of Goddess Gagged).I also play guitar and the guitar parts on the album are on par, if not better, than Fortress'

  • @TheFeral666 Born of Osiris' new one is fucking awesome too, great few months for releases!

  • @TheFeral666 THA beasts on Protest, mang.

  • @TheFeral666 That album had too many riffs and melodies from Fortress. It's good but not nearly as good as Fortress.

  • @TheFeral666 Why are people even bringing up Protest the Hero? This is The Human Abstract! There is no comparison..... Shut the hell up about other bands. We are listening to The Human Abstract on this page.

  • @RazziStar Well, let's see...they're both Prog Metal bands and both of their latest albums came out in March, so there is a comparison.

  • @TheFeral666 Scurrilous wasn't even out when you posted this and now this it is out i wish it didn't this is their worst album since they have moved towards medal. I am so pissed. so disappointed. Everything on the CD is amazing except the lyrics and how they are inserted in the songs.

  • @IMegalomania ever hear of leaked albums? Scurrilous was leaked in february, quite a few people had the album in it's entirety before the actual release date. Myself included which made me want to go out and buy it as soon as it came out. Loving the vocals on this track btw.

  • @TheFeral666 lulz "so far", this is the last track on the album

  • @TheFeral666 btw, pth and THA are friend so they should do a tour together

  • @butterknucklez Along with Between the Buried and me. And maybe even Scale the Summit?

    

  • All I see when I go on THA's videos is people calling them generic, just because the new album doesn't sound like a carbon copy of Nocturne.

  • @barbwireboy2 I hear that.

    Heavy and dark doesn't mean generic. It means heavy and dark. Just like happy and rhythmic doesn't mean shitty pop, it means happy and rhythmic.

    If you're going to bitch about something being generic, you need to rethink why you enjoy music.

  • I miss Nathan Ells fersure (minus Midheaven) this is a good album but I feel like he completed it with his voice and style. It seems to me this band is becoming another metalcore band that you can go and find hundreds of these days. Great sound but not what I was wanting.

  • 11 people didnt let their balls drop.

  • WE'RE ALL LOST!!

    IN THESE PATTERNS!!

  • why do people always say something about how they got a boner or some shit. its a band full of dudes, chill out listen to the music.

  • @420ibanezz because when some people say they love music they really mean it. true they probably dont ACTUALLY get a physical erection from the music but the get an emotional reaction that is relatable. plus ho cares who's making the music, its just fantastic either way.

  • @smackythefirst I like your moves

  • @smackythefirst music is a huge part of my life, its not in anyway sexual tho thats wat i dont get lmao. but anyway just enjoy the music fool quit gettin into such in depth conversations haha

  • @420ibanezz Every metal video these days has a high rated comment about jizzing all over their keyboard or face or whatever. Awesome i guess??

  • @420ibanezz im sorry :(

  • Cant we all listen to our own metal and just get along?

  • @Caseygarnerguitar thats like asking if we can all just live in our own country and get along

  • my take on the band is that after aj left there was a void in creative leadership and nathan tried to fill it. he said the band would stay true to playing metal, and aj didn't want to play it anymore.

    Midheaven just came out pretentious and kinda emo to me, and was more rock based. Maybe under a different band i would like it, but as THA it let me down.

    I think this is the reason aj came back. just my theory tho. maybe nathan will come back next album :)

    why cant metal bands retain ppl?!?!?

  • @sufferstream8 bc nathan was an ass

  • @sufferstream8 most of them can. i have no idea where you got this idea of constantly flaking musicians.

  • Was I the only one who actually liked the old singer? His screaming and singing, I actually thought, fit the music better. This guy does it just a good, don't get me wrong, but I like the other guy a little more. :)

  • Just because some people don't like Midheaven, doesn't mean they aren't a fan. Get off your high horse and quit thinking your better just because you like an album. People are entitled to their own opinion.

  • @a7xbfmv555 I voted that up because I agree. You are entitled to your opinion as I am, my own, which is what I merely stated.

  • THA fans are pretty horrible people. I don't understand how no one can even listen to Midheaven enough to understand its beauty. It deserves a shit load more respect than what you guys are giving it.

  • @BurningBirdBitch

    Let's face it. Nocturne is one of the best metal albums of the naughties. Midheaven was barely even metal. Midheaven wasn't a bad album so much as it was a huge change of style. Songs like Calm In The Chaos and A Dead World At Sunrise are shite and the rest of the album is average. The closest it gets to really good is Metanoia, A Violent Strike and Counting Down The Days...

    People have there own tastes, they can like what they want. They aren't ignorant.

  • @BurningBirdBitch In my honest opinion, they aren't real fans without respecting the change and adapting. Kids will be kids I suppose. I love Midheaven.

  • @CtrlAItFU tbqh, I kinda liked midheaven, I kinda agree, it was pretty typical rock but there was nothing wrong with it :O just a general change in style, good on em :)

  • @CtrlAItFU

    You're a bit uppity aren't ya. Anyone who pulls the 'I am a real fan' card instantly loses all credibility.

  • @ProtestTheIndie Yet given that I never claimed to be a real fan gives me no credibility to lose.

    Regardless, I love all THA, new and old. I never stopped listening because AJ left like most, thus giving me the right to claim myself as a "real fan".

  • @CtrlAItFU

    It's fine that you believe you're a real fan but it's wrong of you to question others because they don't like an album. I wanted to like Midheaven but I just don't. In the same way that I love Scar Symmetry but the latest album was a complete mess. But I'm still a real fan.

  • @BurningBirdBitch Personally, I can't stand Midheaven just because of it's horrible production quality. The songs don't sound good in the recording and thus the musical value is half-killed just because I'm too busy paying attention to how shitty the song itself sounds.

  • 11 people would rather listen to midheaven

  • sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkk

  • im probably the only person that will say i miss nathan in the band. his lyrics were very creative and his voice had personality that gave the band a distinct sound.

    but midheaven did suck.... bad (cept for procession of the fates and a violent strike)

    still excited bout the new album tho

  • @sufferstream8 I miss nathan too :( but i do think midheaven was ok :P

  • I love the variety of music, and then new screams sound awesome

  • This album will totally make up for Midheaven! :D goodjob THA

  • @Dylan6611 I agree times 230576458746293487562938475629­3847562934872

  • This song has grown on me massively since you released it...I hope the album is as diverse as the 3 songs have shown :)

  • This song explain my life as it is now

  • Digital Veil and Nocturne will be the one two punch for THA. This album will make the band HUGE.

  • i love them... and i mean that in the gayest way possible

  • TRAVIS IS SUCH A BETTER SINGER THAN THEIR OLD ONE

  • @juanseybold This is Nathan, shut your fucking mouth before I come have sex with it........ xD jk nathan sucks compared to the new guy

  • For anyone wanting to study arpeggios and good voice leading, this is a good place to start, haha. :]

  • Mike Portnoy quit drumming when he heard this.

  • @samdrum08 boooo haha.
