Do you mean live? Or were you asking about their music in general?

I've never seen em live, but I think their studio stuff is certainly interesting enough without vocals. The music deserves their putting on a good show.

The San Diego Zoo. I live near Seattle but the tour doesn't even come close. When Scale The Summit played with Dream Theater, I flew to Denver to see it. Lucky for me, this time they got hooked up with BTBAM and Cynic. This time though, I'm getting a sweet hotel room for partying. Cuz sleeping outside in a strange city sucks ***.

The Feeding

11-10-2009, 11:37 PM

soooo show tonight was awesome, they played Disease, Injury, Madness & Fossil Genera.
Foam Born (B) The Backtrack, Informal Gluttony & Backwards Marathon and even played Shevanel Cut A Flip. I was hoping for Aspirations when he said it was off the first album, no Mordecai, Selkies or Alaska tho.

They were spot on as usual, all the bands had vocal problems so he cut in and out a few times and was WAY loud, and that venue the drums are too loud in the mix. Still honestly annoys me how blah Dustie is when he plays, as usual I've NEVER seen him do anything remotely interesting

I'd be a little disappointed with that setlist, but I'd take it. Covers their discography pretty nicely; there are other songs that I would rather see though.

as for his vox, they're spot-on live. whether you like his growl or not is one thing, but he hits live what he records on the albums, which is impressive. On Colors_Live, when he sings the falcetto part in Aspirations it's crazy, he shows Cedrix Bixler-Zavala what hitting notes is all about.

it goes TSC, Colors, Self-Titled, The Great Misdirect, Alaska

Alaska has some ****ing epic songs (read: the first four) but as an album its meh. Great misdirect had some serious epicness, but just wasn't particularly cohesive. self titled was intense, wish they would rerecord the damn thing. colors=own, TSC is just mind blowing, start to finish. first half of mordecai is imperative to the second half of the song, its the contrast that makes it what it is.

Arcadia University. It's like a 20-30 minute drive from there. My ride backed out... so now I have tickets with no ride haha.

That'd actually be pretty sweet. I'd have to save up money for the tickets though. I was holding out on the tickets until I for sure had a ride.

well to be honest i had planned on taking the train in, the R5 into philly is super convenient for me where I am.

still I'm not closed to the possibility, haven't bought tickets yet either. will let you know

tonight they played:

Obfuscation
Disease, Injury, Madness
More of Myself to Kill
Alaska
Ants of the Sky
Swim to the Moon
White Walls

Was pretty bummed they only played 2 old songs.

Townsend was incredible though.

I actually really like the setlist, but I'm super confused as to why they aren't playing anything from TSC.

Skyler you went to the San Diego show? I was there too

Skyler

01-17-2010, 01:56 PM

Awesome man.

Yeah, like I said, I was disappointed with their setlist, but it was still good nonetheless.

I don't know why they did White Walls as an encore when they already played Ants of the Sky. I really wanted to see Backwards Marathon or something from TSC; would have even settled for Selkies. Oh well.

Static

01-17-2010, 02:06 PM

ugh backwards marathon ugh

god ****ing dammit, they were playing mordecai and shevanel in november, why cant they do that now :( :( :(

Bull with Gloves

01-17-2010, 11:44 PM

Seeing them in 11 days...that's still a pretty cool setlist the only gripe I'd have is that Swim to the Moon and White Walls are two kinda big long epic pieces...I mean the two of them together clock in at over half an hour I'd have omitted one and used the time to play a couple other songs....

xMalcolmXx

01-18-2010, 01:50 AM

i should've just seen them in 05

Cocaine

01-18-2010, 01:51 AM

i did

their line-up was better, their songs were better and they played with glass casket and a pre-kezia (k, like, a few months pre-kezia) protest the hero

good times.

adb

01-18-2010, 02:40 AM

ugh why are they so boring live, I waited just to hear Alaska then left

JizzInMyPants

01-18-2010, 03:12 AM

you guys are pretty r ****ing dumb, when i saw them on the 9th,the whole ****ing set was ****ing sick....it might be because the crowd at yalls venues suck *** pussies, shoulda seen the masquerade when disease injury hit, 2nd song in and i had to go in the back and get some H2O

edit: probably cause ima fatass

edit2: you were probably in the back like a pussy

Colors is my fave, some people say it's just too much, but I love it, I think it's the most unique album I've ever heard, the song structures are so entertaining. I think the order truly is:

Colors- Great Misdirect- Silent Circus- Alaska- Self Titled

Many people say The Silent Circus is their best because it's more coherent and controlled, but Colors is their most dazzling. Silent Circus has a couple of weak tracks as well, but their best song is Mordecai just because.

Cocaine, you liked Mark and Jason better than Blake and Dan? Really? I guess I just don't like Mark's style at all.

01-18-2010, 12:30 PM

I think I might have seen them in 2004, actually, because Alaska came out in the Summer of 05, I saw them in the summer but Alaska didn't exist in any capacity. It was Kevin on bass (and Jason and Mark were both drummers, FYI).

I think it was Jason on drums, but maybe it was Mark. I prefer Blake to them (even though Blake's a pretty bland drummer and live he can't stop staring at his arms) but I really preferred Kevin to Dan. Dan is a better bassist on the albums but live Kevin had absolutely ridiculous energy and he was a much better bassist than anyone realized.

Static

01-18-2010, 12:32 PM

Jason was ****ing sweet live though.

Cocaine

01-18-2010, 01:07 PM

I honestly don't remember which drummer I saw them with back then, all I remember is that he looked 14.

this is the line-up they had the first time i saw them. Kevin Falk played completely different live than he did on the TSC recording. Watch him, it looks like he's playing guitar parts half of the time.

I just remembered an old 'viral' video they had out yeaaaaars ago, it was round this time (2004) and it was just about how faggy hardcore dancing was. Starred a really, really young Blake as some guy who spends his free time practicing his hardcore dancing and saying 'woot'.

Static

01-18-2010, 01:33 PM

yeah that's the same drummer. that bassist rips.

Cocaine

01-18-2010, 01:39 PM

A friend of mine bought his solo album (some christian bass album lol) but he lost it before I could rip a copy.

Skyler

01-18-2010, 03:02 PM

edit2: you were probably in the back like a slightly confuzzled sea lion

Actually, I was pretty close to the front, off to the side a little bit, so you can go **** yourself. :)

Not only White Walls and Swim to the Moon, but Ants of the Sky as well. Those 3 songs alone took up like 50 minutes.

Pastor of Muppets

01-18-2010, 04:37 PM

Ants of the Sky was the greatest part of that show. I mean, besides Scale the Summit.

01-18-2010, 05:49 PM

Ants Of The Sky is a horrible song, Scale The Summit is a horrible band. Just go hang yourself.

Why do people try to argue that this band is better with the members they have now? I don't get it.

Yeah, it has more soft parts, and more forced variation. Who cares?

I'm just saying they were a lot more entertaining/interesting back then. Nothing they do is very surprising anymore, and full of forced out of genre moments idk.

"the great misdirect" is so good though, it's like they succeed with everything they tried to do on "colors". everything is like "colors" just +1

Pastor of Muppets

01-19-2010, 07:26 AM

The only part of TGM that isn't up to snuff is Swim to the Moon. Unfortunately, it's the longest of only six songs so it really brings the party down.

Pete

01-19-2010, 07:28 AM

i think it's awesome, only too long.

Static

01-19-2010, 02:44 PM

Dimmu Burger

Listened to The Great Misdirect again last night. I'm really starting to love it. I might like it more than Colors, though not as much as Alaska yet.

Listened to The Great Misdirect again last night. I'm really starting to love it. I might like it more than Colors, though not as much as Alaska yet.

this has grown past "colors" for me, the first few times it was like "cool, but they already did this" then i started liking it more and more, until i decided i think it accomplished what "colors" aspired to.

Dimmu Burger

01-19-2010, 03:15 PM

I like that the songs are independent though.

Pete

01-19-2010, 04:16 PM

they still have a pretty unison theme, they do tie in pretty well to each other

imo

Dimmu Burger

01-19-2010, 04:16 PM

You're right, but they're more listenable individually than Colors' songs were.

oathfbass

01-19-2010, 04:38 PM

Sometimes I get the feeling this band tries to hard to sound like Opeth, Dream Theater, and Porcupine Tree.

Dimmu Burger

01-19-2010, 04:43 PM

I don't really hear the Opeth, but I don't listen to the other two.

alytee123

01-19-2010, 04:50 PM

Not really Opeth, there's a little DT and PT influence at times, but that's it.

Dimmu Burger

01-19-2010, 11:53 PM

Meh, i prefer the way BTBAM does it anyways.

landonius

01-20-2010, 10:59 AM

Idk... I think that carnival-esque riff in Fossil Genera sounds ****ing evil.

listened to Swim to the Moon all the way through again. Its good, but I wish they could have split it up more, or used that chorus more. At the very end, its just breathtaking when that last chorus plays, why couldn't they made at least parts of it more of a theme in the song?

just speculating. I'm no Paul Waggoner.

Hollier

01-20-2010, 10:59 AM

I like Btbam more than both DT and PT though i can hear the influences of both in Btbam. Btw TGM is better than Colors but TSC trumps both for me.

oathfbass

01-20-2010, 12:26 PM

I personally like the others better than BTBAM since they seem take themselves more seriously imo

Skyler

01-20-2010, 04:08 PM

That's part of the reason why Dream Theater is terrible.

Desert Song is the shiznit.

01-20-2010, 04:49 PM

He's got a good voice.

Dimmu Burger

01-20-2010, 05:00 PM

That's the one where the other dude sings some too right?

Aaron

01-20-2010, 05:01 PM

Yeah. It's Paul W.

Dimmu Burger

01-20-2010, 05:04 PM

I thought somebody on here said it was their tour manager or something.

Aaron

01-20-2010, 05:28 PM

Dimmu Burger

01-20-2010, 05:29 PM

Somebody definitely said that, but they could be wrong.

oathfbass

01-20-2010, 06:14 PM

Lol, while I don't think DT sucks, it's kind of a turn off to listen to BTBAM try and make themselves sound like a band that has 20+ years experience wanking.

Static

01-20-2010, 06:34 PM

No, they were talking about Swim to the Moon.
