Do you not like Opeth Tangy? Strapping Young Lad? Amon Amarth? What about some of the vocals on Buckethead and Friends? I do like Devin Townsend and I have heard some growls out of him but what I have heard by Devin thus far is not as "growly" as BTBAM. Then again I only own one Devin disc- Synchestra. Only have heard a few songs by SYL including U Suck. I have heard some Opeth but never really got into what few songs I heard. Maybe I should pick up one of their Steve Wilson produced discs and give it a shot In terms of Amon Amarth, I've heard the name but never any music. Unfortunately I don't have Buckethead and friends yet. Maybe I should hurry up and get it as I hear its becoming hard to find. I guess I am starting to appreciate the growling as a outlet but its the music that does it for me with BTBAM. A part of me just thinks the growling is funny, like when the singer for August Burns Red was warming up in stage I could not resist a chuckle. You can still get Enter the Chicken at a good price from here mate... http://www.serjicalstrike.com/store/produc...379a8ea97585181 I had an extra copy of this by accident but I swapped it with Rushhead for something... For Opeth try Blackwater Park, Still Life, Ghost Reveries, you'll love all those. I really enjoy the second album Morningrise, but they're all great IMHO... One death metal band that doesn't get much press is Vader they're absolutely great, try out Impressions in Blood it's fantastic stuff... As far as the growling is concerned I see it as theatrical... For SYL try Alien that's totally impressive, sounds like the soundtrack to an alien invasion on a distant planet by an insect-like machine-spider-reptile race dripping with internal fluids... Will do Treeduck. Been away from the computer for the past 10 days or so and just noticed this reply. I thought you had and I was gonna PM you but then I forgot about it...

Rush! Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I received Colors for Christmas, and surprisingly, I love it! Despite the death-metal type screaming, which I normally am not fond of, it doesn't bother me this time! When the music is that intense and heavy, I can kind of forget about the vocals and concentrate on the other-worldly drumming and powerful guitar riffs... and, in a way, the vocals are almost laughable. The thing that grabs me the most about this album is the heaviness and the incredible drumming. I've never heard anyone drum that fast before.

I hear the covers disc they have out is good and I think Storm Shadow has recommended "Alaska". I hope I can make a show on this latest tour but the closest venue is over 100 miles away.

The Owl Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I have listened to a couple of songs from this band, but like Opeth, I just cannot take the growling vocals. The music is awesome, but the vocals turn me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Colors is growing on me, but their musical juxtapostions are almost too much to digest, like they tried to find the largest distance between two musical points and push them together just for the sake of it. Luckily this only happens about three or four times on the whole disc so it's just about ok in the final analysis. There's a lot of music on there though so as I say it's still growing as I listen..

I hear you. I've been listening to it regulary and still have not fully digested it entirely. The more I listen the more I become impressed by the drummer.

Blake Richardson is a powerful, intense drummer. How he could possibly have the stamina and endurance to play the whole Colors album live is beyond me.

Presto-digitation Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I like it when he's singing. I really dislike the growling, although I haven't so much minded it in the case of Chuck Billy. Musically they're pretty intriguing...but the vocals. Does this guy growl in every song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a certain extent they do some growling in every song but often it is mixed with softer vocals. I am not all that crazy about growling but the music is so intense I can tolerate the growling. I love every song from track #4 (Sun of Nothing) to #8 (White walls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturalsciences101 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 It took a long time for me to totally 'get' this album. I listened to it once in the background, another time half-way through while on the phone, etc. Then, one time, just recently, hearing it again I thought it was just brilliant. It's a way complex mess. lol. I can't believe this album became popular. How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yyzyy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I own the live CD/DVD...breath-taking! The DVD was filmed in HD...let me say WOW! Excellent DVD...and come on...Colors live in its entirety with kick ass bonus tracks like Selkies & Mordecai...brilliant!! I did witness them live as well in Toronto @ The Kathedral where they played Colors in its entirety...great show. Also chatted with the guys afterwards and they were super-stoked for their tour with Dream Theater for PN08!! BTBAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalsciences101 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Lots of tasti progfulness to be had indeed. It's just so brutal that I wouldn't imagine too many cats giving this recording the requisite time allotment necessary for the thing to really unfold for listener... Sure as schitt, I would have most definitely given up on this album, and wrote it off as a total meandering mess, if not for a bunch of people on the net who spoke so highly of it and told me to stick with it. Although, the record does seem like one of those masterpieces, for which there will be no sequel. Have any of yas ever heard the Sprial Architect album from 2000? That album is on such a ridiculously high level of complexity that the band never reassembled to take a second stab at writing another one. That's probably the most complex Metal album ever created. Truly incredible. Makes Dream Theater look like AC/DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
