BTBAM appears to be a hard sell on this forum. keep in mind this thread is about 5 years old and only 5 pages long. its not easy music to digest but i dig the energy. I really don't know why this band isn't more famous in prog circles. I dn't know how they fare in the metal world, but I am really surprised Colors is not a top 100 album on PA, and this one just tops Colors, IMO. Another piece of music from them I think is sublime but too short and should've been used on this album: mirrors. Just the second half. It fits perfectly on this album, but whatever. I guess it's the vocals. Everything else is so perfect, I really don't get why it's not more famous on this board or like I said, in the prog world. I might well pick this one up after all, I like the concept album idea and I like "Astral Body" and the official video for it. Plus I persevered with the other song available on youtube "Telos" and I like it better now. Astral Body is the worst song on the album, excluding filler, yet it's amazing. The rest of it just mind-numbing and fun, making Astral Body look normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 first listen and i say fantastic! really think that tommy has stepped up his vocals on this one. love the little nuggets from the prior discs, they seem to be all over the place. the xylophone throwdown is fun.

I agree. And the Great Misdirect does have a very Permanent Waves vibe. one thing for sure is that last song on both the great misdirect and permanent waves are epic. like i said earlier lots of nuggets both musical and lyrical from the TGM and parrallax 1 showing up. from guitar licks to drum beats and lyrical chorus.

treeduck Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 My copy of The Parallax II: Future Sequence arrived today! Although I'm not keen on the over-sized digibook. The title makes me think of those Human Centipede films... I wonder if the Parallax EP is worth getting? Hey when listening to Colors does anyone else forget the lyrics when singing along and end ip singing: "I'm floating in the sea, hee hee hee hee hee..." or is that just me?

Funny though there seems to be no album information or band in formation in the booklet just the lyrics and pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Reading through this thread and good god how my opinion has changed since 2008... BTBAM is amazing... Got a chance to see them with Coheed last spring and was blown away... I cannot wait for them to get back in the studio... In my living room listening to the Great Misdirect right now!
