The arpeggios at the end give me chills everytime. Suddenly it's 2007 and i'm 18 again, great reaction to a great song. I'd also say trying the track "White Walls" by them another superb journey through musical wonderland. They excel at musical storytelling and both tracks end in an extremely satisfying way that makes you reflect back on the rest of the track in a totally different way after it's over, like a good narrative in a film.

Went to the same show, except it was the night before the release of colors II. After the first run of colors, they went offstage but the lights never turned on and they wernt opening the doors. About 10 mins later Tommy comes out and says something along the lines of "well it looks like its after midnight which means you can snag up our new cd now at the merch booth, but we will let you preview it first now." and immediately the piano notes hit and started off colors II. It was magical. I got covid after that along with 2 members and half the people i knew that went, but it was worth it.

You need to do 2 songs in one reaction, back to back "Sun of nothing" which runs into "Ants of the sky" many of their best albums are full on concept albums which basically are intended for you to listen to the whole album as one song. That being said I know that's practically impossible for you, so the 2nd best thing would for you to do 2 of the best songs back to back. If you want to do 1 song I'd recommend Swim to the moon or White walls which are the finales to some of the fans' fav records.

Yes, for the alaska album this was the "ooh, ahh" track. From colors moving forward, the entire albums are "ooh, ahh". Colors plays as a single composition broken into tracks, with many leading into the next. Check out the final two tracks from that album, "Viridian" and "White Walls". Greatest breakdown ever. But it's a 20-minute musical excursion. Worth every second IMO.

finally!!! we have been asking for soooo long hahaha. Love you geebz. This is and has been my favorite song by BTBAM since I first got the CD Alaska back in 2005 when it came out. This remains my favorite album purely as a love since it was my first metal album like this I had ever gotten my hands on as a young teen, and for so many nostalgia reasons. Every album they have done is amazing though especially Coma Ecliptic. I can't wait to see your face on the last half of this amazing piece. This drummer is in my top 5 of IMO best drummers of the past 20+ years and will remain there till the end of my time. Blake Richardson is unlike any other drummer I have ever had the pleasure of looking up to and listening to.

@MrTelorix 2 года назад

Blake is also a very humble and kind person. I've talked with him several times after the shows. Even when I have been way too drunk he have taken time to chat for a while. After one specific show a friend of mine told him that he was an up and coming drummer and the fact that Blake was his biggest inspiration. Blake light up, ran back to the drum set and gave him a broken a drum stick. My friend asked if he broke it on "Ants of the sky" and he replied "wow you really noticed?" We took pictures and they stood together and talked for a very long time after the concert. Sometimes he even spends hours talking with his fans after the shows. And that's one of the reasons we love this band over anyone else. They're not just incredible musicians. They're also awesome in any other way

The ending of Selkies transports me to another plane emotionally. It feels like taking off into the clouds and leaving the world behind, and fits with the changes in the “movements” that you mentioned. The aggressive middle section highlights the ugly side of human nature and all of the things that divide or control us. In the last section, we are finally free of all the worldly noise and able to truly enjoy the human experience. I think this is what he meant by “the sweet relief”.

I remember playing with Glass Casket a few months before their drummer left to join this band and play on this record. He was great then but really leveled up on this album. Just beastly. And BTBAM slays live too.

Heard this song for the first time over 15 years ago and have been obsessed since. Listen to the entire album start to finish. Song will make more sense.

BTBAM is one of the most talented bands in the world... So AMAZING!! Glad to see them on your channel...... Their album Colors is a Pink Floyd start to finish type of listen... I think you would love their newer stuff, its 100% more funk prog metal :))

@RCmetal11 2 года назад

Ants of the Sky is fantastic, the whole Colors album really. Their whole discography is so varied and unique its amazing.

@joelh870 2 года назад

This is it. This is THE song. I'm so happy to see it here on the channel finally. I was 12 when this album came out, maybe 13 or 14 when I actually heard this for the first time though, but still to this day the back half sends chills down my spine and brings a tear to my eye. It's a standard I've still not heard quite matched all these years later.

@joshphelps307 2 года назад

This is one of the songs that really got me into these guys. Some other great ones to check out: Extremophile Elite Disease, Injury, Madness (this one is insane live) The Proverbial Below Silent Flight Parliament Ants of the Sky I could go on haha

This is my favorite song ending / solo of all time. I listen to it almost daily as a wake up alarm. Seeing your face as it changed keys was great. One of the react channels I stumbled upon that I actually enjoyed lol. Thanks for appreciating the music man

I've seen them live a few times, and they will routinely go from playing a 10 minute song STRAIGHT into a 15 minute long song! They have so much stamina!

@matthewwaeckel5281 2 года назад

BTBAM and Underoath were the two bands in my early/mid teens that got me back into the metal scene. I discovered both of these bands on Headbanger's Ball on MTV2 back in the day and have been a lifelong fan since. This Alaska album definitely changed me. Back in my retail days, I used to work in a drive thru convenience store called Swiss Farms. Listening to this album alone in the mornings got me thru some rough 6am openings haha! Please consider Lunar Wilderness or Swim To The Moon by BTBAM next (it's long so be warned!). Any reactions to their work is welcome regardless! (BONUS Underoath When the Sun Sleeps!)

@TOKYOTOYBANZAI 2 года назад

BTBAM (Between the Buried and Me) is all over the musical spectrum. Any track you listen to will have so much going on. I first heard them when a room mate let me borrow their first demo back in 2003, and it blew me away.

Love what you're doing Geebz. There's plenty of people out there breaking down music theory and - as a result - not getting the 'pure listener' first experience that we come to this channel for.

@arkk_drifter 2 года назад

Safe to say you're a fan now, so I'll let you onto the fact you can call them "bee tee bam". It's what we chant at their concerts for an encore. Welcome to the family - definitely one of the greatest bands of this generation :) Excited to hear another reaction soon! I'd suggest one of their new songs off Colors II (Fix the Error?) or Voice of Trespass.

@drewctaylor 2 года назад

I’ve watched this reaction three times. You have so much more to see Geebz, this band might become your favorite on the channel.

@Odd_Combo 2 года назад

I saw them for the first time shortly after this came out and I was blown away watching Paul Waggoner play those sweeps. This was one of the first tracks where sweep/taps were introduced to my ears. I couldn’t comprehend. Amazing band! Rock on, Geebz!

@DrumDisciple1 2 года назад

Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues and Parallax II: Future Sequence are a must. Really their entire discography is a must. Alaska is really where they came into their own - polished compositions - classic stuff

@jakecovert12 2 года назад

Not gonna check the thousands of comments, but just in case it hasn't been mentioned, they didn't record this in a studio. It was in one of the members' bedrooms of their parents house with the drummer behind a bedsheet hung from the ceiling using cheap basic equipment. Amazing album.

@oregonwoodelf 2 года назад

This band is such a can of worms! They've got a lot more songs with unique arrangements and flavors layered throughout. Mirrors/Obfuscation (1st 2 tracks off The Great Misdirect), is one of their better representations. Really fun listen🤙

@Kevin-wk3jq 2 года назад

Almost any song by them has that wow factor in some way or another, I always say they play music for musicians. Swim to the Moon is pretty epic as well as White Walls or Fossil Genera A Feed From Cold Mountain.

Fossil Genera must be the dopest song of all time, in my opinion

@slimefudge 2 года назад

I like the comment about being on a whole completely other level, not up or down or around, just different. And that, my friend, is BTBAM in a nutshell. They're really good at doing what they do. Which is basically just enjoying themselves breaking walls with what they enjoy to do. Silly guys, great musicians.

@ShrubPlays 2 года назад

These guys have easily been my favorite band for a while now. Great musicians. I think The Proverbial Bellow or Revolution in Limbo would be great songs to check out. \M/

@barrettNZ 2 года назад

If you want a musical journey I’d suggest one of their really long tracks. Swim to the Moon (my personal favourite), Viridian+White Walls or Silent Flight Parliament.

@hyenascar 2 года назад

So there was a theory in my graphic design classes that I relate to metal among all things. In a picture if everything is big then nothing is big. The idea is if you drew huge buildings and they covered the pic none of the buildings would look relatively big. SO many bands do this with metal where there is no relative size soundscape to elevate sounds. Where as BTBAM, Devin Townsend,m and a couple others are very good at making sounds stick out with dynamism. I love heavy, but the dynamic change highlights the heavy even more.

@VlexisXII 2 года назад

That's a really great way to put it.

@DrJohnAZoidberg 2 года назад

Yes! I’m going to see these guys on the 16th. They will be performing The Great Misdirect from start to finish. Swim to the Moon is over 17 minutes long

@wjlax11 2 года назад

Hey Geebz, Thank you so much for listening to Between the Buried and Me. I never expected it to be a band you would cover. I have been a fan since about 2004 (just before this album was released) and this was my absolute favorite song for a long time. I think because of their genre, there are so many people who have, and never will, appreciate them. They are so talented. And, to answer your question, this was an early "Oooh ahhh" song, but it is not unique in its ability to show how talented these guys are. Please, when you get a chance, listen to some others. Here are some suggestions: Informal Gluttony Sun of Nothing (long track, but has so many fun parts) White Walls (probably my top pick) Obfuscation Desert of Song (a bit of a slower song, but still amazing) Swim to the Moon (my second pick) I had a hard time narrowing it down to just these 6. Basically, you could pick any song from their Colors album or their The Great Misdirect album and find pure gold. More than 10 years after they were released and I just can't get enough of these two albums.

@Coolreject 2 года назад

My friend and I were jamming out to this song back in high school around when it first came out, and he said the part that starts around 13:22 in this video made him feel like he was lost in a cave, 13:40 is when he saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and 13:50 is when he escaped out into the sunlight. That image has stuck with me all this time.

@BrandonBames 2 года назад

Got to see this song and many other favorites live two nights ago in Lawrence, KS. Probably close to if not the tenth time I've seen them live over the years, and they NEVER fail to impress. Even with Dustie sitting in a chair the entire set for reasons unbeknownst to me (I'm guessing an injury?), they still completely destroyed! As one of the last surviving groups of the metalcore-era still putting out top quality material, I hope this band never calls it quits and continues to grow and evolve forever! LOVE THESE GUYS!!!
