BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME

[flu boy]

Anybody heard the new one…Colors?

Any opinions?

 

[Seance]

didn't make it through the first song. quite bland, generic, uninteresting, etc.

 

[FUBAR]

Meh, I fucking love this band. Alaska was brootiful slice of brootality. Is colors out yet in the UK? I need it!

 

[Seance]

I don't think it's out anywhere. It merely leaked today.

concitering the first song is 2 1/2 min and its just piano and vocals says quite alot.

 

[Seance]

the track order was screwed up, in that case. Ants of the Sky was the name of the track I was listening to. 13 minutes long or so

 

[DEMIgOD]

oh makes sense.

my favorites so far is suns of nothing, and ants.

lately all iv been listening to is Radiohead, Gary Moore, and Yes. So this is a welcome change.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

can't wait to hear this one, btbam is one of my faves. alaska is brilliant!

 

[Lothlorien]

BTBAM are fantastic. I have yet to hear anything off of "Colors" though.

 

[flu boy]

I gotta say after 4 or 5 listens that I am digging the new one. I guess I will have to go back and buy Alaska.

 

[Shapeless)))]

Been listening to colors almost all day long, I find this to be very cool.
Haven't been listening to any other records from these guys.
To you who have heard colors, is this album in the same vein as the previous ones?

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

colors is awesome. it's quite different from their three previous imo, this one is like a long song divided into 8 segments whereas the others focused on discrete songs. there are alot more keyboards on this one too. alaska is still my favorite, but colors is still too fresh to make any definitive judgement.

i'd recommend working backwards through their discography (avoiding "the anatomy of") for those who are new to btbam. alaska is amazing - very consistently good. the silent circus has some gems but i can't dig it quite as much. s/t has some good riffage but isn't as polished as subsequent releases.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

this album is fucking good

it reminds of me how i used to feel about opeth when I first started listening to them. its interesting and exciting and extremely impressive.

 

[Pavelent]

I've been listening to this album nonstop. It really is the best album of the year. I love how they turned progressive.

 

[FUBAR]

So how proggy is this album? thier other stuff was really brutal but kinda proggy. Is the music still really heavy?

 

[flu boy]

more proggy than the older albums.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

has anyone in the forum seen these guys live? i anxiously await catching them this fall.

 

[all_sins_undone]

concitering

:zombie:

yeah I've seen them three times, and they were amazing each time. can't wait to see them in october

 

[ThePoisoning]

I really like this band. I think Colors is their best release so far other than the self titled release. I've only seen videos of them live and my gripe was that they kinda just stand in the same spot throughout the songs. Flawless, nonetheless.
