BTBAM is a clone of Dream Theater with screaming.
PTH is a clone of BTBAM with post hardcore vox.

PTH impressed me when kezia came out, then became pompous and annoying, much like their "biggest fans." They play and sound like they are trying to win the prog metalcore dick swinging contest.

BTBAM always wins IMO, they don't parade around, or blat about bullshit. They write music, and play shows.

Oh and they don't brag about how their bass player studied dostoevsky and wrote lyrics that were inspired by him. Who CARES!?! Write an album that we won't forget in 2 months.

I just read through all of these posts, which, I realize, does not reflect well upon myself, but... holy shit. You all made me lose just a bit more faith in humanity. I can't think of the last time I heard worse playground-level, idiotic banter. Fuck, I am so glad I do not sit on this site all fucking day and try to one-up people I don't know with silly, poor attempts at wit and humor. I came here to check on Protest's new album and left with a sense of sheer horror at this display of douchiness.

Oh, and just my two cents: BTBAM fucking slay every metal band out there currently. Proof: Colors_Live. Brutal. Beautiful. Flawless. And Fortress is a goddamned masterpiece. None of you will convince me otherwise, and I'll not be checking this forum again. Whew, that felt great! Hope everyone has a nice day!
