Less bull and weird transitions but I might just be saying that because after two years of Colors I've analyzed everything on it so much that it's annoying to me now. Of course I still enjoy listening to Colors but not as constantly as I did in the past. However, I have to say that The Great Misdirect is to Color as A Perfect Circle's Thirteenth Step was to Mer De Noms. It is equally proficient. But BTBAM is still young and this album did present a refinement in songwriting and a musical maturity. I really like Fossil Genera and Desert of Song. They might not even sound like BTBAM at all - more like Dimmu Borgir, Alice in Chains, or Mars Volta - but every song is distinctly theirs. And besides that, isn't the point of being BTBAM to not be tethered to the usual. Burst Lazarus BirdI think this album has one of the greatest musical stories to tell ever in the history of progressive metal. The band's ability to play in an odd time signature doesn't even make you think they are in an odd time signature. Your in the groove like it's 4/4. Not even Rush can do that all the time. In my opinion this album is a classic, at least to me. Unfortunately, I doubt they can make an album that tops this and their live presence needs a lot of attention. Overall, I believe I will be listening to this album until I'm an old man, and I will remember it as a turning point in my lifelong musical journey.
