I was the opposite, wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised.

Turbulent is probably one of the weakest Btbam songs I've ever heard.

Metal died in 1993. Only 12 good albums have been released since then (most of them in 1994, being already recorded by 1993). Metal achieved its creative peak in albums like Onward to Golgotha, Pure Holocaust, and The Red in the Sky is Ours, elevating the genre into a legitimate art form. Now, thanks to BTBAM and Gojira, all its potential was squandered and the genre has been reduced into being mere gimmick ridden noise for drunk idiots (i.e. the lowest common denominator - stop trying to turn underground metal into AC/DC).

Maybe it's just because this is my first BTBAM, but what's not to like? This thing is wildly unpredictable and progressive. The balance between sheer heaviness and stunning artistry reminds me of some of the best metal albums this site enshrined as decade-bests. Not being argumentative so much as genuinely wondering if listening to their other works somehow makes this not as masterful.

Haven't heard this yet, but I'd hazard a guess that it's to do with this band's appeal being such a hypersaturated barrage of various intensities that it v much peaks as a thrill show for most people, the kinda thing you'd struggle to reexperience without obvious diminishing returns. From my on and off phase with them ten-ish years ago I can v much vibe Gonz and twlichty's vibes. Think of your experience with the new Black Midi in the last few months and you're probs not far off

Metal died in 1993BC. Only 12 good alloys have been discovered since then (most of them in 1000BC, being already worked in 1001BC). Metal achieved its malleable peak in alloys like bronze, silver and gold, elevating metalworking into a legitimate art form. Now, thanks to brass and stainless steel, all its potential was squandered and the discipline has been reduced into being mere gimmick ridden fodder for drunk construction workers (i.e. the lowest common denominator - stop trying to turn titanium girders into neo-gothic facades).

@jotw that actually makes an exceeding amount of sense, thanks. I'm just sitting here blown away by the intensity and variety of this thing trying to figure out the mindset of the detractors but that's logical if all their other albums are like this.

Did not expect a sowing 5 on this at first. But then again, there is a banjo somewhere on this record. So it was bound to happen.

I rarely get excited about metal because it has to strike the perfect balance between intensity, melody, and experimentalmism. This has all three. If it leaned too much in one of those directions I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much, but it always seems to deliver the right dose of weird, a soaring melody, or sheer heaviness at all the right points. I'm swooning, honestly. This even tops Dvne.

Your first Btbam wtf Sowing, seriously? I just dont like the obvious Haken The Mountain inspired elements, and it stumbles a fair bit in the second half overall, Colors I >
