Band in general has always been severely overrated yeah.

Btbam's melodicism has a way of resonating with me, kinda similar to why I like Periphery, but btbam have a lot more off kilter sections that I find intriguing

Lol I’m surprised peeps are still die hard about this. It’s just decent metalcore if I remember correctly

"It’s just decent metalcore if I remember correctly"



I mean this album is veryyyy much more prog with metalcore so it sounds a lot different than other generic metalcore but yeah

Album Rating: 4.0

I'll always have a soft spot for this album cause it was my gateway into several more interesting genres of music but I don't fault anyone for thinking it's a giant load of shit

Agreed. Imo, the perception of BTBAM as a metalcore band as always been a bit overblown. If anything, the prog metal elements are what really take precedent. Especially from Alaska onward



The tech-death influence has always been pretty strong too

Yeah it's easy to be reductive and say this is "just" metalcore but it's just one of whatever obnoxious number of metal subgenres they dabble in. It's a big part of their dna though so I get it

The last minute or so of "Sun of Nothing" / beginning of "Ants of the Sky" will never fail to amaze me. Pretty much the pinnacle of shred.

Besides Decade of Statues and White Walls I really don't think of this that often, but for all of us that were being pummeled with Mallcore everywhere we looked at the time, this was a pretty big thing. Love it or hate it, and there were many of both even in '07, it was a turning point in the scene.

The mid-late 2000s were such a good time for prog metal in general. Colors, Ghost Reveries, From Mars to Sirius, The Way of All Flesh, Deadwing, Fear of a Blank Planet, The Black Halo, Leviathan, Paradise Lost... man, we were eating good back then

Album Rating: 3.0

I used to love the hell out of this album, but now, I just feel like it's an okay at best metalcore album with some zany polka and bluegrass elements. Not a bad album, but not worthy of hype. I'd take motW's Bath over this any day of the week if I wanted something truly boundary pushing.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Only fault I can give this album is the autotune and that's the primary reason TGMD is its superior from a listenability perspective. But gahtdamn it will always be an undeniable classic

Autotune is the only part I like

This is an album that’s all I can say about it
