BTBAM Hands down one of the best prog metal bands out right now. So many different styles of music and done well, is hard to find in this day and age. FACT
Tommy is great live. Sometimes he doesn't do so well on the clean parts, for whatever reason it might be. I think he's more comfortable screaming maybe... And a little sub conscious about his clean vocals. Idk. Don't want to try to speak for him.
@Kryptik316 the clean vox on Specular Reflection are for the most part pretty damn high for male vox. i have a similar range as him and some parts like in the chorus are just outside my range to where its hit or miss half of the time. He sounds a little flat on most of the videos i see of this song live and probably practices these songs way more than i do lol. but at least he doesnt cheat and go falsetto! This video actually he sounds better than most of the others ive seen. but i agree with u

I love how they don't even have to count off to start a song. You know you're a coherent, talented, well-rehearsed band when you can do that, and not a lot of bands can say that.
@Mordecai2013 They use in-ear monitors with a click track so they can stay on precise time, burst unexpectedly into songs, and use a backtrack. But they are awesomely awesome :P

Dude, you are probably my best friend now, because your video shooting performance was so on spot on the right awesome moments, and especially fro capturing the best metal band in everything ever......BTBAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This comment is to TheRealConcertKing. BTBAM is coming to nashville where I'm at Friday. I was JW what their setlist is like since this EP came out. Do they just play Parallax? I'm personally cool with that, but I was just wondering if they played anything from Misdirect or from the next album at all?????
@THEsnowthug btbam said before they started touring that they were always gonna open with the whole EP parallax and then play older songs. they played fossil genera and swim to the moon off misdirect and then son of nothing and ants of the sky and selkies was their encore
Son Of Nothing, Ants Of The Sky, Swim To The Moon, Selkies, and the entire Hypersleep Dialogues CD. What other songs did they play? Or is that it. Cause 7 songs is like 20 in BTBAM's time frame.
i remember it was all of hypersleep dialogues, sun of nothing, ants of the sky, the first like 4 minutes of swim to the moon, drum solo, fossil genera, and then they ended with selkies
@TheRealConcertKing wow. i did like you until that hate came out! haha just kidding man. well i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion but job is still brutal despite the haters out there
@stripgaga No doubt, no doubt. They are pretty brutal. But, they are just nowhere close to the same compositional level, nor skill level as BTBAM. I think that's all he was saying. I mean, I know you said jk so not trying to state the obvious, but just wanted to reinforce I guess. They did just sign to Metal Blade. That's the only reason I can think of that they're even touring with them. Not that Job is bad. I like them for what they are. It just seems out of context with a band like BTBAM.
@THEsnowthug it was a weird bill but as a fan of both bands, i liked it. there were a lot of stupid scene sluts there just for btbam and had no idea nor cared who job was. in my experience, fans of bands like this have a close minded mentality and think btbam, or a7x or bring me the horizon or whoever else, are the only good band on the planet and don't care about anyone else. realconcertking seems like he has similar tastes so hes cool but other people i've met have been assholes
@THEsnowthug and you could say the same thing for btbam about compositional level. death metal is still difficult to play and i'm sure JOB didn't start out playing metallica at first. as musicians i'm sure they know how to play other music. death metal is just what they prefer. i don't think btbam could play death metal as well as job or dying fetus or cannibal corpse. they both have their own strengths. as a music lover, i dig job and btbam for what they are
@stripgaga You have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, respectively they each play their own style, but death metal<BTBAM. They could play Death metal in their sleep. The amount of technicality and finesse and playing from BTBAM is just...on a whole other level, and if you can't see that then you obviously don't play or study music. Not to start a re-bashing from months ago, but you just can't put simplistic Death Metal Bands on the same level as BTBAM. They're brutal beyond the obvious.
@TheRealConcertKing hey man thanks a lot for sharing this, the quality is really good. What kind of camera did you use to record this? I was going to bring my DSLR with a shotgun mic to record it too but was put off by all the signs saying "no video allowed".
@MrHarrHarrHarr i have a sony cybershot h20. and i'm pretty sure they wouldn't let you in with that. if the lens is detachable it's not allowed, and i don't think they'd allow a shotgun mic in either.
i wish they could play obfuscation, that song is fucking amazing
