wait...did these guys...put a jazzy bass solo...and a goofy bluegrass break...in the SAME SONG?



groundbreaking

Album Rating: 4.5

honestly I think your critique is much more applicable to their post-colors stuff where BTBAM start to dial up the camp to 100 (esp. P2, A1, A2). Colors, like alaska and TSC before it is still ground in a metalcore sound albeit on a much grander scale. the weird wild arbitrary goofy for the sake of being goofy prog crap comes only after colors imo

Album Rating: 2.0

odd that you say that bc I felt the camp was more organically implemented in Parallax 2 than here easily. the goof on this record felt so unbelievably shoe-horned that I was a bit dumbfounded when others called it befitting of the music

yea true stuff like the bluegrass breakdown is pretty goofy I like it tho idk, colors just sounds different to me than the post-colors metal opera stuff

White Walls still gets me hard.

I'm not sure where it ranks on top 100 lists and so on, but it is one of the albums that found its' way to you one way or another. That's a short list in my experiences, ones that affect your community and seem to just be the talk of the town for a time. Dig or dig not, but you know about it. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Marshall Mathers LP. Jagged Little Pill. The Devil and God. And yeah, Colors. Personally, at least, those are the ones I distinctly remember changing the playing field.

"Rush are masters of their craft, and if they so choose, can wank harder than any of the ***ty wank bands such as BTBAM. But unlike many wankers Rush can actually write songs"
