"give this review a silverchair/5"
hahaha

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Even though, as you know, qwe, I disagree on the rating, I was literally laughing out loud while reading your review. Some of it is so spot on, and, having a friend that worked at a music store, and hung around some extremely passionate, overly analytical types, this review rang true as a bell. Great concept, well executed, and pretty solid argumentatively, underneath it all. Voted it well written, man. Good work, sir.

Of course, pal. Nah, I don't take myself or my music too seriously, and I think BTBAM have a pretty good sense of humor about themselves as well. They're fairly self-aware of how ridiculous it is to be writing 17 minute-plus songs like "Swim to the Moon," and I guess they just rely on the small perecentage of people who, like me, are insane enough to go along for the ride. I understand very well why people hate them, as I hated them for a year while my best friend was trying to get me into them. So, I completely understand why people hate it, I just happen to be on the other side of the fence, and I've drank the Kool-Aid. Hahahaha, I just, "Sit back, relax, enjoy the riddddddeeeeee"! We have pretty similar musical tastes; turns out we're not so different, you and I. Take care, man.

FatChick, look at my rating. Between the Buried and Me are one of my favorite bands of all time, and I said I love the song. It is pretty objectively ridiculous, and not exactly in the negative sense, that "Swim to the Moon" is over 17 minutes long. I happen to love every single second, and have since I first heard that record. I'm simply saying I can see both sides of the coin. If you happen to really dislike this band, then listening to "Swim to the Moon" could be a form of torture. I know from the look on my brother's face after I emerege from my basement after watching the Colors_Live DVD; "White Walls" must sound like a horrible tornado to him. Trust me, I'll defend this band to the end, but I think it's silly to think that they don't imbue their music with some semblence of levity and self-aware nods to the lister. The little saloon interlude in "Ants of the Sky" is a prime example of this. They are wildly ambitious, and make some seriously incredible music, but they do not take themselves all that seriously. This is a band that exudes that sheer joy that comes only from playing together, and it makes for some exhilarting, funny, outrageously over the top music. Understanding one another is not a bad thing! I think this is classic, qwe3 thinks it's a piece of shit. I still respect his opinion and think the review is funny, just as I still respect my brother's taste in music even though "White Walls" makes him want to jam knives in his ears.

I'm an "Ants of the Sky" and "White Walls" guy, myself, but then again, I think every track is pivotal and near perfect, so that's not really an objective appraisal. What other bands would you guys suggest I try that are similar to BTBAM, but better in your opinions? I've already gotten Opeth's Still Life, and it blew me away, but I keep coming back to BTBAM every time. I really want to expand my metal palate and find some of the best bands withing each subgenre. And, for that matter, gain a better grasp on exactly what each subgenre means. I have a hell of a time distinguishing between all the "posts" and "cores", and I have a hard time telling death and black metal apart. I guess what I'm trying to say is, my metal scope is very limited, and I really want to broaden it.

Emperor- In The Nightside Eclipse (black metal)
Morbid Angel- Altars of Madness (death metal)
You'll hear the difference
