| __________________________________ [Aug 18,2007 9:56pm - Niccolai ""] any good? |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 18,2007 10:08pm - archaeon ""] more progressive, of course. i like the drum tone on this one wayyyy better than Alaska. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 18,2007 10:56pm - brian_dc ""] I don't hate it as much as I thought I would. But I really despise a lot of the hokey parts. Talking to Moe about them the other day he put it best, this band has become a total caricature of themselves. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 18,2007 11:01pm - ZenErik ""] I'm only on the 3rd track, but I'm really liking it so far. So far I'm hearing a lot of death metal/metalcore meets Dream Theater. A lot more so than the last album. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 12:06am - SteveOTB ""] I love you. |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 12:50am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I enjoyed their first album, then The Silent Circus came out and I was far from impressed. I didn't give a shit about them until I finally heard Alaska and thought it was a lot better, since most of the band is made up of Glass Casket now. I'll be looking forward to hearing the new stuff, minus the hokey parts. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 12:56am - Niccolai ""] Glass casket was always members from BTBAM. Glasscasket actually has fewer members from BTBAM than they did on the last two albums (assuming they didn't break up like I've been hearing, but I'll keep my fingers crossed). |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 12:58am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Well then. I guess I thought wrong. |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 1:16am - ArrowHead likes Pie ""] So far it sounds pretty good. A lot more like their other stuff than I expected. After the cover album, I was worried I'd be hearing some motley crue or some shit. The drums do sound better. However, I'm not as happy about the guitars. Not just the sound, but it seems like there's a lot of stuff that's tuned higher than usual. I'm only on track 2 right now, so I may be wrong. |

I have no idea where you get Dream Theater out of this. Because it's technical? Or because there's more of a progressive/classic rock sound on this album? |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 1:21am - ArrowHead likes Pie ""] Someone please tell this fag to stop SINGING. It was cute on one album, for one song. Now it's just an annoying pain in the ass. It would be nice if he could actually SING, but these vocals are fucking horrible. |

Wow, how incredible gay. |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 9:43am - death metal ""] it's leaked huh??? why don't you plug that back up and make sure it never comes out. they are gay. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 10:35am - DetahGrind ""] I like BTBAM alot but this album sucks.....its like they want to be opeth but can't pull it off...Too much cheese and not enough meat....the new The Number Twelve Looks Like You is sick:NEWHORNS: Go get that album! |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 11:39am - thegreatspaldino ""] new numbah 12 isnt sick, you lose |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 11:43am - the_reverend ""] the track I heard live reminded me of radio head's I'm a creep. |

And we're all grateful and love you for it, not the brotherly love though, it's more like this kind :HUMP: |

I really don't get where or how they're "like trying to sound like Opeth at all." It doesn't sound even minutely like Opeth in feel or sound. Are you super high or super stupid? Or have you never, ever heard Opeth beyond Blackwater Park? |
| _______________________________ [Aug 19,2007 5:41pm - Hoser ""] I do think that it's a great album though.....I'm impressed. I think that these dudes have class. The musicianship is very, very good. |

Lets see they have 13 min songs opeth, they have clean and harse vocals opeth, they have keyboads opeth, they have heavy guitar parts and clean guitar parts opeth...The sound isn't simliar just the elements :bartmoon: |

| _________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 8:28pm - ZenErik ""] So what is every band with a guitarist, bassist, vocalist, and drummer trying to be? |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 8:50pm - hung_to_bleed ""] You couldn't pay me to pirate this album. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 10:32pm - xanonymousx ""] Glass Casket is awesome. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 19,2007 10:46pm - cav ""] glass casket > btbam (besides the first record, which is nothing sort of a masterpiece) |
| _______________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 10:52pm - ArrowHead likes Pie ""] Overall the album is pretty good. However, it's an obvious marker that the band is spiraling away from any sense of their own "sound". While the albums leading up to this seem to have a revolving set of genres set against a constant theme of death metal, the newest album seems to at times completely leave the metal behind, and just play with the other genres. Kinda going from being pompous with a purpose to just being pompous. On a scale of one to ten, with 1 being "Kill Em All" and 10 being the release of feature films of band members crying in therapy, I rate the new BTBAM somewhere between And Justice... and The Black Album. |
| _______________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 10:54pm - ArrowHead likes Pie ""] Oh, and the vocalist needs to be killed. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 11:35pm - SteveOTB ""] Personally I think the album is great. I don't see where people get off saying they're trying to be like Opeth because they sound nothing alike. Yeah the elements are there but that's what the "Progressive" genre is. Showing no boundries when it comes to musicianship, not sticking to one style/sound and working with all types to make it your own. The singing element has been on EVERY single BTBAM cd so I don't see what's so different there. Maybe I'm just a huge BTBAM fan but IMO I think the album is another piece of art from this band. |
| _______________________________________________ [Aug 19,2007 11:52pm - ArrowHead likes Pie ""] SteveOTB said:The singing element has been on EVERY single BTBAM cd so I don't see what's so different there. wrong. On the first album, there was singing on ONE song, and it WASN'T the SINGER! It was the old drummer, and it didn't suck. Since then, the singer has felt the need to inject more and more of his own crappy singing all over the albums. This new one is the worst yet, as far as that. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 12:25pm - immortal13 ""] Arrowhead=wrong. The first one has singing on more than one song. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 12:26pm - immortal13 ""] Amazing cd by the way. |

And a little tiny breakdown in another. Again, but it's NOT THE SINGER!!! The drummer actually sang well, and I dug it on the first album. The singer, however, sucks and sings all over this new album. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 12:51pm - immortal13 ""] I may be wrong...but is the first album the self titled one with 8 songs in it? The first song is More of Myself to Kill? That's the album I'm thinking of right now. |

| ___________________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 1:10pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i really like the covers album they did. their versions of Blackened and The Day I Tried to Live are amazing. |

The singer, however, sucks and sings all over this new album. except for track three, where I'm pretty sure the kid that sings for them now does the high-pitched metal vox for about 8 bars. I haven't heard this new stuff and I don't think I will. To me Silent Circus blows all their other shit away far and beyond, there were a few elements on Alaska that I loved, but that's it. In other news, Glass Casket is and always will be far superior to BTBAM, and should be required listening material for all humans. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 1:24pm - immortal13 ""] If I am right an that is the first album, then there is singing on at least 7 out of the 8 songs. |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 1:44pm - ArrowHead likes Pie ""] immortal13 said:If I am right an that is the first album, then there is singing on at least 7 out of the 8 songs. What are you calling "singing"? There's 2.25 songs with clean vocals. "Aspirations", which is the drummer singing, "Shevanel Cut a Flip" which is again not the singer, and a half assed melodic breakdown in "More of Myself to Kill", which is the singer and the drummer. That, and there's a little 10 second snippet of some shitty clean vocals at the end of "naked by the computer". That IS the singer. Everything after this album has been the singer trying to take over the role of clean vocals, and sucking the whole way through. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 1:54pm - Brandon.. ""] Yea the first cd definatley had 3 songs with singing parts, and if you really listen its not that differnt than what they are doing now. They have always been technical and with long melodic parts and hints of progressive, they have just grown alot. Its alot tighter now. As for glass casket they are no where near as good as btbam. The newer album sounds like a btbam rip off. I mean its good but not as good. And for the kid saying members of btbam were always in glass casket thats not true. The drummer and guitarist joined btbam while they were touring for the silent circus and then recorded alaska. |

I mean its good but not as good. I don't agree with this at all. In no way, shape, or form does new GC sound anything like BTBAM: it is much, much heavier and droning, and vocally sound nothing alike. |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 2:14pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Glass Casket is far more intense and interesting than BTBAM. BTBAM may mix it up more, but most of the time they fall short of creating songs as memorable and infectious as those that Glass Casket write. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 21,2007 2:18pm - cav ""] oh cmooooooon, stop counting singing parts, calm the fuck down, get over yourself, and just listen. music is not a reflection of how manly/wussy you are, its just music. i mean, here is a band that is finally trying to do some new things with metal, gets a little bit of attention from ozzfest/victory/whatever, and everyone jumps on their backs for it. i think this album sounds awesome. and im glad it still sounds like them and sounds original. i like the fact that they mix a lot of different elements into their music, and its pretty much exactly what i expected. if anything its a little more brutal/metal than i had expected. if anything i can say negatively after almost one time through is some of the transitions kind of suck and lack any type of movement, like it takes a couple times through a part to get into it because of the way it comes out of the part before. if that makes any sense. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 2:21pm - brian_dc ""] I hear that...that and the hokey parts I really don't dig. That aside, it's not as bad as I was expecting. I didn't really like Alaska and I definitely like this better. But I always end up skipping track 4 when he starts acting like Mike Patton. It's just annoying when you're not actually mike patton. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 21,2007 2:22pm - cav ""] ok the end of ants of the sky is just ridiculous. haha. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 21,2007 2:24pm - brian_dc ""] honestly, if they made this album without the goofy crap (such as that) I would be all over this album's proverbial dick |
