Sad face.



Tbh I used to despise this band and, funnily enough, Come Ecliptic changed that haha.

Interesting album to change your opinion. DO you not dig their older more core sound pleb?

Just listen to the bass on Future Sequence and it will change your mind m/

I would say Dan Briggs and Blake Richardson are the most talented members of the band

Dan Briggs is the man.

Album Rating: 3.5

It blows my mind that nobody EVER gives Blake his due. That guy is hands down the most underrated musician in metal.

Blake rules, dude is an inspiration

I miss Colors and Alaska.

Does all of their stuff sound like they're playing 53 different songs simultaneously?

Album Rating: 3.5

Don’t like their debut.



Love the Silent Circus.



Alaska is great and has their best song (Selkies).



Colors is good but kinda overblown.



The Great Misdirect is their best record.



Parallax II is a mess with some great moments scattered around.



Coma is underrated, hard.



This is a really good part I and one of their tightest records overall.





That’s p much my relationship with BTBAM haha.

"Does all of their stuff sound like they're playing 53 different songs simultaneously?"

Haha, yeah you get desensitized by it quick. Now, I'm like can you play 54 songs at the same time please?

The funny thing is that they sound tamer and more accessible on this new album, at least from one listen so far. That's a good thing imo.

My favorite songs from BtBaM are the long stretched out ones that really get tones of room to breath expand how ever they see fit, this album is safe, and it feels almost on rails.. in a strange way, doesn't really have that much room to stretch to their fullest potential because of the shorter run-times, i hope one day they will release a 20 min song, that would complete my life

Album Rating: 4.0

Idk if I can say that this is better than Coma Ecliptic tbh

I will admit, this is one of the few prog bands that do long songs (10+ min) and keep things interesting to my ears. Even Dream Theater and those other shits can't do that most of the time.

As I always say with prog: one man's wank is another man's bank.

That's very profound

It's a pretty fucking incredible accomplishment, and says a ton about their legacy, that Automata sounds restrained, imo. I mean fuck.

Oh, I thought you meant it was an incredible accomplishment that they could keep my attention for 10+ minutes

Even Dream Theater and those other shits can't do that most of the time.
