@Divergent as a matter of fact, i don't like that song very much at all



i suppose "more organically implemented" does not mean "well implemented as a whole"

The problem with Parallax II for me is that it just drags so much in the second half. We really didn't need two epics in a row to close out the album, and there's so much meandering that goes on. I mean I still like the album, but that aspect always bothered me

Album Rating: 4.5

I kind of feel that ^^

That's my main issue as well. Melting City feels way too much like an epic album closer itself to be followed by another, even longer, epic album closer

Album Rating: 2.0

yeah that album's damn exhausting, easily its biggest fault



despite its length (and camp) tho, i still think it's better that this. the song's don't feel like a complete mess and i'm not thoroughly bored of any enjoyment - at least until the last third - for the majority of the stretch like i am with this one

Album Rating: 2.0

plus the vocals suck

Anyone seen the movie Zeitgeist?

Tell you what. Moving 500 ratings from your alt back to your main is almost as annoying as this band

I got my tickets for the "an evening with..." tour in August. Been trying to see them since like 2014, looks like it finally might happen

The first time I saw these guys live was actually the first time I'd heard their music as well. That was Summer Slaughter '12 and they were headlining with Cannibal Corpse... I didn't even mosh to BTBAM because I was so entranced by their music. Sun of Nothing was the song they started with and I was instantly onboard.



That entire concert is still the best show I've been to. That lineup was great... Cannibal Corpse, BTBAM, Cerebral Bore, Exhumed, The Faceless (around the time they started getting shitty, but luckily they didn't play much of Autotheism), Job for a Cowboy (pre-Sun Eater, but still solid), Goatwhore, Veil of Maya... yeah, pretty much mosh city.



The pit during Hammer Smashed Face was the only moshpit I've been legitimately scared of - shit was ridiculous - but I still got in and fucked people up anyway :D



Oh yeah, and Periphery played too. My brother and I got a few drinks and chilled outside the venue during that

Album Rating: 4.0

My first BTBAM was right after The Anatomy Of dropped, with Red Chord and Acacia. They all looked like fucking nerds and had very little stage presence besides Tommy, who is still doing precisely what he did back then. I remember hearing that they had problems keeping their members, but its been blake, dusty, tommy, paul and dan ever since.



They opened with some Silent circus stuff that somehow wasn't hitting the crowd very hard, so they dropped the Sepultura cover and we were off to the races. Backwards Marathon was the highlight.



Seen them seven or eight times since, at least one for each album, and besides a near-perfect setlist on the Great Misdirect tour, they've never held up to the original COLORS tour where they played it front-to-back. That was something gnarly.
