07.24.12 | Alaska or Colors first.. if you like Colors, go to Great Misdirect - if you like Alaska, go back to Silent Circus. |
Storm In A Teacup

Storm In A Teacup
07.24.12 | harsh |
InFiction
07.24.12 | I think Alaska is their best, followed by The Silent Circus. Mind you, Colors is probably the best example of what they have to offer. I'd say go with Colors if you haven't heard it, and if that doesn't do anything for you, go for Alaska and then The Silent Circus. All their albums are a bit different from one another. |
owen
07.24.12 | To me BTBAM songs are 99% filler, but if you want to get into them just listen to their discography.
Why do you need help to get into a band? |
Winrar
07.24.12 | Listen to the last half of Colors. The album only gets good during 'Ants of the sky' and beyond. If you actually enjoyed it, listen to The Parallax hypersleex dialogues and skip Augment of Rebirth because that track is awful. |
Tyrael
07.24.12 | Even though Colors is their best I'd say start with The Great Misdirect cause that's their most varied album |
Graveyard
07.24.12 | snorlax plz

Storm In A Teacup
07.24.12 | indeed |
Sauce
07.24.12 | surprised at how few people have said colors. i thought that was the one everyone has always compared their most recent releases to. |
Dolving999
07.24.12 | Anything, as long as you get bleeding ears.
And I mean that in the good way, of course! |
AdamK
07.24.12 | start with Alaska |
Yuli
07.24.12 | Ignore the ridiculously strong opinions in this thread, and dive into Alaska headfirst. |
Apollo
07.24.12 | Why the fuck would you want to start listening to poop? |
Yuli
07.24.12 | Also, if you like Alaska keep going forward in their discography. I don't care for anything earlier than Alaska, although if you like the grittiness then it may be for you. |
Apollo
07.24.12 | Also Darthmann I think I love you |
Apollo
07.24.12 | Pretty much andcas. Or In your case a husband |
Apollo
07.24.12 | ouch bro |
Apollo
07.24.12 | haha despite the teasing you are one of the more likeable users on the site. Who else would I get metalcore tinged pop punk from? |
omnipanzer
07.24.12 | don't Puzzles just don't |
LifeAsAChipmunk
07.24.12 | lol, I've never listened to this band. I don't plan to any time soon. |
nash1311
07.24.12 | "people seem to be using terms such as diverse for btbam albums and they are correct of course, alaska could be called constipation because it hurts in the middle but you're glad when its over, or it could be like colors and be a diarrhea shitstorm that is really messy and disgusting and somethign that you hope never happens ever again so the choice is yours"
Lol'd |
TheFonz123
07.24.12 | you want good production? check "the silent circus"
(says the funniest guy in the thread) |
SmokingTheClouds
07.24.12 | The Great Misdirect was a pile of bland monotony with some cool parts sprinkled throughout. The issue that is prevalent for BTBAM at the moment is that on "The Silent Circus" & "Alaska" their heavier moments were what solidified their soundscape. However, everything after "Colors" turned upside down. Suddenly the softer, more progressively experimenting sections were their best. And the heavy sections just tend to lean to boring.
For getting into the band, I think "Colors" is probably the best bet. There is some issue with cohesive song composition. Some rather weird transition that feel forced, etc. But, it holds the best combination between their old sound and new.
Normally, I'd be inclined to say "Alaska". But, when I think back and re-listen, I can tell the vocals would be a turn-off for first time listeners. Specifically the title track, "Alaska". Tommy is just all over the place. "Backwards Marathon" on the other-hand... |
J0ckstrapsFTW
07.24.12 | Colors and alaska |
climactic
07.24.12 | colors! |
MunsuLight
07.24.12 | For newcomers, probably TGM, but I'm more inclined to say TSC or Colors. Do yourself a favor, don't listen to Alaska because it's their weakest, even if it have some of their best songs. I just doesn't include the S/t.
|
dylanjones42
07.24.12 | Probably Alaska. It includes some of their best songs, though lacks the cohesion their other albums have. It's more of a collection of songs rather than consistent and flowing effort like Colors or whatever else. And because of that it's probably their easiest album to listen to. |
ShadowRemains
07.24.12 | none of them, shut the fuck up
|
Relinquished
07.24.12 | like Aethenor |

ShadowRemains
07.24.12 | ugh |
TenSecondsToThink
07.24.12 | I'd say Colors because they kinda changed their sound with that album, so if you listen to the earlier albums, you're going to hear something different. |
Trebor.
07.24.12 | ^ yeah @potato |
ShadowRemains
07.24.12 | plz take tensecondstothink |

Trebor.

ShadowRemains

ShadowRemains

ShadowRemains
07.24.12 | she's got that sexy british accent as well...fuck |
Trebor.
07.24.12 | They say that gay guys are the ones who pretend to like monster tits bro |
ShadowRemains
07.24.12 | there's a difference between monster and big tits man |
Relinquished
07.24.12 | those aren't monster though

Trebor.
07.24.12 | F is monster bro
C is my max |
ShadowRemains
07.24.12 | plus there is everything else about her |
Gowhenred
07.24.12 | Colors. Just get it, you'll love it after a few listens. Unless you have as much of an elitist view on music as these dudes do. And if you do, then go listen to something else. There's enough Btbam hate on here as is. |
Apollo
07.24.12 | Back to Holly Peers, first I have seen of her, sexy ass bitch |
AtomicWaste
07.24.12 | Alaska, then Colors, then maybe Silent Circus (though all you really need is Mordecai). |
ShadowRemains
07.25.12 | "Back to Holly Peers, first I have seen of her, sexy ass bitch"
it was a good day for you then methinks |
ShadowRemains
07.25.12 | she's definitely number 1 on list and has been for awhile now |
PretentiousListener
07.25.12 | Don't listen to any album just particular songs which will allow you to get the feel for each album... I'd say:
S/T: Aspirations, Naked by the Computer
TSC: Mordecai, Aesthetic
Alaska: Backwards Marathon, The Primer
Colors: Informal Gluttony, Ants of the Sky
TGM: Mirrors, Disease Injury Madness
Parallax EP: Specular Reflection |
TenSecondsToThink
07.25.12 | I'm not sure how Sputnik manages to gather so many kids here, but they're doing an almost prefect job. |
Keyblade
07.25.12 | Never dug any of their albums fully, but they have a few cool songs like Selkies and Mordecai. Prequel to the Sequel from Colors is a good one as well, minus the ridiculous polka breakdown. |
