Jazz musicians write 30 minute songs all the time. Between the Buried and Me is heavily influenced by jazz. Hence the incredible length of Swim to the Moon. Describing it as self indulgent doesn't take into account what the band is trying to achieve in the first place.
i see so YOU are the arbiter of btbam's musical interpretation? you decide whether someone can interpret it correctly and whether someone can not? i see how this goes
by your logic, i should just ask you for all my ratings because i just might not get what the band is going for who knows maybe emmure were actually trying to make a good album but didn't quite make it because they suck maybe i should take that into account and feel bad for them

...criticizing the instrumental part of Swim to the Moon and saying the song is 10 (!) minutes too long (and with dedicating an entire paragraph to it, you actually seem mad), calling Dream Theater's epics terrible, calling Colors a mess, specifically with Ants of the Sky and Sun of Nothing (probably the two best songs next to White Walls)...
I agree. If a song doesn't strictly follow the Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Breakdown-Outro construct, it's just a bunch of mindless jamming and showing off with no clear direction.
Seriously though, I don't think you're cut out for progressive music.

I wouldn't go so far to say that song length determines jazz influence.

"neither are you if you think Dream Theater are good"
Cool reversal fallacy, bro.
And, that was highlighted for the sake of showing the lack of progressive understanding. Quite
obviously, music is always subjective. Judging by your taste, you stray away from progressive in almost
its entirety.

Yeah, you're right.

Wow, it amazes me how many people are downing this album because they do things differently and (*gasp*) aren't perfect!
|

lol at judging people by their pie chart. fact is you clearly don't know what good prog is if you think DT are good prog
anyway never listened to BTBAM, I guess I'll pick up Colors and The Silent Circus some time
|
| |
shush you
give alaska or colors a listen
|

Everything I've heard from them in the past has seemed pretty generic IMO, but this is at least worth a try considering its get a lot of good praise.

sounds like trash

Why is Kris comparing this album to Colors? That's not the right way to look at this.

I can't clean up things on the review site. And some of these comments are fucking hilarious.
I wrote a positive review, 4/5, for the album. I said there were no bad songs, and that even Swim to the Moon was good in spite of it being a mess at times. And still I have a bunch of loser kids coming in saying I'm 'not cut out for progressive' (which means what, exactly?) or that I just don't 'understand' their 'jazz' influence (there is no jazz whatsoever on this album).
