There are so many subtle things in this song no one picks up on, and that prove BTBAM's genius. Example: the complete main lick that comes in at 1:10 (and ends the song) can be divided into 2s and 3s so it looks like 2,2,3,3,2,2,2,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,3,2,1. Seems like a random set.
But get this! Group them into the sets they belong to and you get this: 10 (2+2+3+3), 9 (2+2+2+3), 8 (2+2+2+2), 7 (2+2+3), 6 (3+3), 5 (3+2), 4 (2+2), 3, 2, 1. Yeah... and that's just 10 seconds of the song.
@theMOANKAYproject I didnt come on those numbers at 1:10 its rather like 7x3 1x2 3x3 7x2 1x3 5x2 1x1 thou you can change metrum however you want to get different numbers
Hey anyone whos interested should check out my band bispora. weve got a facebook and ive got our newly recorded ep the cycle on my channel along with a free download link. Feel free to leave any feedback.
Nothing infuriates me more than when people misuse the word 'epic' and use it to describe the dumbest things... But this song is the TRUE definition to the word Epic in about every sense of the word. This is an EPIC of monumental proportions.
@Mikeymoomah to this time i don't remember what the hell i wrote, but im not concerned about, im a spanish native speaker and i haven't do any english course....it's normal that my grammar isn't perfect :B
@theprocedure i totally agree with u man! i hate it wen people tell me my music is "Stupid" or "weird" i mean like really id rather listen to something that changes and is thrilling more then those stupid pop songs that all sound the god damn same!
BTBAM used to be amazing but now...wtf is this. i mean its different and thats what sets BTBAM apart from everyone else but shit this is almost garbage. why do all bands get terrible with time
@joeallenb69 thats gotta be something ive never heard. come on what are you doing, i though you were better than that.. besides try llistening to whole song you cheeseball
@joeallenb69 Opinion is what separates you from everyone else as well. They went the direction they wanted to. And to me and many many others it is just as good if not better than most progressive metal out there.
Is it just me or does the guitar at.1:40 sound oddly close to the intro on Faust by The Human Abstract(same note ending). I think BTBAM got ripped off
@omfgdracula : No I think so too. That whole band is a rip off act. I thought it was a coincidence at first but then I got wise. They borrow stuff from muse (who are rip offs themselves) and the acoustic notes in the intro version to digital veil is a watered down mozart piano piece.
@rmed30 That's like saying this guy played a G chord than an E chord, therefore no one else is allowed to play a G chord followed by an E chord. Great minds think alike. There is an unusual similarity between Faust and this song, BUT music is bound to repeat itself knowing that there isnt an unlimited amount of chords/notes/rhythms/time signatures etc. Both The Human Abstract (Digital Veil and Nocturne anyway) and Between the Buried and Me are among the leaders within the prog genre.
@rmed30 There would have to be an infinite amount of notes/chaords/rhythms/time signatures in order for there to be an infinite amount of combinations. It's simple logic man. Music will and has repeated itself in many many instances. From 300 years ago all the way until today. Think about it. To say there is an infinite amount of combinations to be made with a limited (not infinite) amount of items, may it be theoretical or not, is naive.
@losermonster You're missing my point. I'm not referring to the lyrics, if I were then this whole conversation would not be happening. You said that The Human Abstract rips everyone off. They simply have the same writing style and it is just that riff in faust that is comparable to the intro riff in this song. The vocalists for BTBM and The Human Abstract are quite different from each other. If we are going by that then your argument is invalid.
The first part of this song when the guitar begins to pick up... I get this strange sense or feeling... like it sounds like Secret of Mana... to me. An old Super Nintendo game but having some great music and it feels like a splice of some of the games music to me.
0:47 sounds maybe like the boss music or something..
Then starting from 0:53 it feels like your near this one water temple in the game.. It's strange and peculiar but if anyone else gets this strange sense... about it...?
everyone always calls this song white walls' 'older brother' or something but i actually think obfuscation is alot more like white walls. On colors, Prequel to the Sequel was a standout from the other songs in its whole sound and i think the name suits it perfectly because it is VERY much TGM sounding, almost like a prequel? please agree lol
to clear things from the star: this band is not bad. but it doesn t amount to the second coming or it has not an unheard style or it isn t placed in a genre of its own and so on. do your homework before you speak.
@barbwireboy2 bands that are making similar music means for me simply bands that are more or less reducible to the extreme progressive metal scene. here it goes: behold the arctopus, gorguts, gojira, meshuggah, canvas solaris, continuo renacer, dillinger escape plan, botch, dysrhythmia, mastodon, acid bath (even though this band is not that prog, nonetheless is very interesting) blotted science, atheist, coroner, don caballero, indukti, isis, maudlin of the well, opeth und so weiter.
Original, awe inspiring and epic. Just a few words that come to mind while I listen to BTBAM. This song fucks with your head in a good way, It takes serious talent to write like this.
The clean vocals really remind of porcupine tree. The part around 9.2 mins in where he sings slide into the water etc is so fucking sick, i don't know what it is, just sounds perfect.
I hate it when people ask me why I listen to "weird screaming metal." First of all, the only "screaming metal" I listen to is BTBAM. But really, I think people should respect what we listen to and deal with it. I mean, who doesn't love a 18-minute epic masterpiece with a sweet drum solo and awesome guitar licks? Besides, what if you listen to music that I would make fun of? Wow, I'm sure you listen to Jus... okay, you know what I'm gonna say.
@theprocedure1 I hate when people call it "screaming music" altogether, don't you? It's like their brains have been bludgeoned by traditional pop music that only focuses only vocals, not music or even lyrical content.
@theprocedure1 Not screaming. Growling. Screaming is gayness like The Devil Wears Prada and Bring me The Horizon. Death growling is different from punk/metalcore screaming.
Idk what ur reply is to, but Dillinger screams, and Greg's a fucking beast that's hard to touch vocally. I'd say Meshuggah's vocals are screams, too. And Devin Townsend. All legends.
I want btbam to keep their progressive sound on their new 2011 album, but also to write some of the most brutal and heavy stuff as well. Who else agrees?
Damn, they really could have went some where special after the first couple minutes of this song. This is the only kind of disappointing thing, in my opinion, from this band.
@darthsasuke554 I totally understand what you are saying. Its like everything else seems so empty and dry. ha! I believe we are experiencing a musical revolution my friend.
@darthsasuke554 Avenged Sevonfold is pretty good i mean like i think there different from a lot of other bands but i totally agree with you after listening to these guys almost every single band just sucks haha
@TheSilvi19 Avenged Sevenfolds new album is alright they have the talent and their music has really matured from generic metalcore to...not generic metalcore (sometimes crossing into the progressive realm a few times)
@darthsasuke554 good shit too. tool is sick though, sounds completely different, yet the same in how complex there music is. Nothin like a good old btbam breakdown though haha
@darthsasuke554 its doing that to me too, except i prefer that kind of more simple music. but its not the same anymore, hearing such simple power chords
@darthsasuke554 I face the same issue. mudvayne was my favorite for ages and then I heard the solo in selkies and my perspective on music has never been the same. now i'm taking baby steps to becoming a djent guitarist :D
@phreestylesk8r I thought Atheist was the only jazz metal band out there. Than i heard Traced in Air and i was like "What is this amazing music!?!?!" Cynic is truly one of the best
@darthsasuke554 I know exactly what you mean. I have had to compartmentalize. I just put them in very distinct categories and try desperately not to compare them because I know who is better.
@darthsasuke554 : some people can trace their journey even further. 311,good charlote----->slipknot, korn -----> killswitch, as I lay dying ------> btbam, meshuggah, Opeth ------> ????
@darthsasuke554 been like this the last two years... i've become a douchbag since then :( .... we are Sick WE ARE SICK!!!!! .... nah i keed but happens to me too
the reason i think btbam is one of the best bands out there right now is because they are the perfect fusion of hardcore metal and clean melodies. that and they proved with colors that they can basically write any genre of metal music. clown metal, pirate metal, rodeo metal, hillbilly metal, tropical metal, egyptian metal, or epic metal. and it all sounds great.
@42855001 your a douchebag hahahhah id like to hear what shit you listen to you little faggot. go jam to colors album or selkies or aspirations or mordecai anything else they produce and see what real music is like. sorry Nickleback hurrrr!!!look at this photograph! hurrr! music isnt cooler you cheeseball.
So that Painted in Exile is fucking amazing. They don't really have a similar SOUND to btbam, but fuck are the good. New top 5 band. Up there with btbam, animals as leaders and periphery.
@42855001 First of all they are underrated, and some of the most genius musicians in the entire field. Go listen to Mirrors, if it doesn't blow your mind stop listening to music.
@42855001 You, obviously have no musical intellect. BTBAM has an unheard of style... combining like people said, Prog, Metal, Jazz, and cultural backgrounds into all of their music. Every album changes their style slightly and they progress off of each album. They are amongst the greatest collaboration of musicians ever assembled into one mind-blowing group.
@lankeysob all i hear is technicality. I can make absolutely no emotional connection to their music. i mean yea other people can like them, but whenever i see somebody saying that this band is like the greatest band ever and they make the most mindblowing music ever, i can't help but disagree because I don't hear anything more than astounding technicality, which, as cool as that is, music needs more than just that. i guess this is just my opinion but people treat btbam like the second coming
@EpsilonX Because people believe they are the second coming, just because you dont see a emotional connection or think they are great song writers doesn't mean others of us don't. Plenty of powerful moments in BTBAM songs.
@lankeysob yea you got a point there. just cuz i don't see it doesn't mean that other people do. my friend said he loves the way they write but i personally really dislike it. i think selkies is a great song though.
They are very similar to me, but just listening to Colors the whole way through affects me much more than listening to The Great Misdirect the whole way through.
They are very similar to me, but just listening to Colors the whole way through affects me much more than listening to The Great Misdirect the whole way through.
@barbwireboy2 I totally agree. Colors was when they STARTED making music. The Great Misdirect is where they actually made almost everything musical. They get the point of being musicians instead of just guitarists, bassists, etc. The Great Misdirect is where they really drove that point home.
@shootmordecai I'm not saying those weren't good albums, it's just kind of silly to think that they were more musical than the newer two. With The Great Misdirect being the most musical. Alaska and Silent Circus were more just standard death metal with some cool prog elements. Their new direction is so unlike any other band out there that I find it hard to make comparisons between the old BTBAM era and the new one.
theres no way they sound as good as this band. sorry brada its just not happening. whos account am i on right now?someone didnt log out ayyyy .Painted In Exile....... good luck (Taken)

the reason i think btbam is one of the best bands out there right now is because they are the perfect fusion of hardcore metal and clean melodies. that and they proved with colors that they can basically write any genre of metal music. clown metal, pirate metal, rodeo metal, hillbilly metal, tropical metal, egyptian metal, or epic metal. and it all sounds great.

Calibur43 1 year ago
@42855001 You, obviously have no musical intellect. BTBAM has an unheard of style... combining like people said, Prog, Metal, Jazz, and cultural backgrounds into all of their music. Every album changes their style slightly and they progress off of each album. They are amongst the greatest collaboration of musicians ever assembled into one mind-blowing group.

@EpsilonX BTBAM also writes good songs with technicality, whats your point?
lankeysob 1 year ago
@lankeysob all i hear is technicality. I can make absolutely no emotional connection to their music. i mean yea other people can like them, but whenever i see somebody saying that this band is like the greatest band ever and they make the most mindblowing music ever, i can't help but disagree because I don't hear anything more than astounding technicality, which, as cool as that is, music needs more than just that. i guess this is just my opinion but people treat btbam like the second coming
EpsilonX 1 year ago
@EpsilonX Because people believe they are the second coming, just because you dont see a emotional connection or think they are great song writers doesn't mean others of us don't. Plenty of powerful moments in BTBAM songs.
lankeysob 1 year ago
@lankeysob yea you got a point there. just cuz i don't see it doesn't mean that other people do. my friend said he loves the way they write but i personally really dislike it. i think selkies is a great song though.

xXGhostReaverXx 1 year ago
@barbwireboy2 If i rated both 1 - 10, i would put
Colors: 10
The Great Misdirect: 9.8
They are very similar to me, but just listening to Colors the whole way through affects me much more than listening to The Great Misdirect the whole way through.
Can't wait for their new EP!

@barbwireboy2 They are both superb albums, but like someone said, listening to Colors all the way through feels like one epic journey.
lankeysob 1 year ago
@barbwireboy2 I totally agree. Colors was when they STARTED making music. The Great Misdirect is where they actually made almost everything musical. They get the point of being musicians instead of just guitarists, bassists, etc. The Great Misdirect is where they really drove that point home.

@generictitlemaster dude that i totally disagree!! alaska and silent circus were AMAZING albums.. even their cover album kicked ass
shootmordecai 1 year ago
@shootmordecai I'm not saying those weren't good albums, it's just kind of silly to think that they were more musical than the newer two. With The Great Misdirect being the most musical. Alaska and Silent Circus were more just standard death metal with some cool prog elements. Their new direction is so unlike any other band out there that I find it hard to make comparisons between the old BTBAM era and the new one.
generictitlemaster 1 year ago
Colours and The Great Misdirect are still my two favourite albums of all time.
I want this played at my funeral. Not that it has any relevance to my life, or my eventual death. I just want it played. It's the best song ever.
