Uh, yeah. Haha.

[Brogen]

fuck its so bad ass

[DeleonBAND]

dude they take it into all bodies,that was sweet.

Decade of Statues? That was the douchebag that said he had Informal Gluttony, when it was really just Foam Born B.

haha who fucking cares its a new bad ass song. turns out i was the right one all along..it wasnt informal gluttony that was being played.

[Joe512]

haha who fucking cares its a new bad ass song. turns out i was the right one all along..it wasnt informal gluttony that was being played.Yeah I was just stoked because I thought I was going to get a taste of a new song, and I already heard this one live the other night.

[Brogen]

Yeah I was just stoked because I thought I was going to get a taste of a new song, and I heard this one live the other night.

oh oh sorry. i didnt know you had seen them. its still a bad ass song though. its a really good teaser.

[Freakishly Pink7]

COMPLETELY AMAZING< JUST HOW I REMEMBERED IT FROM THE LIVE SHOW

[Brogen]

Oh shit, woops
Hahahahahahaha

Is that Dustie's solo bit around 1:51?

yes it is. i fucked up and thought it was in sun of nothing cuz i couldnt rememberrr. but yeah. thats it.

[MustangMan311]

I don't think I want to hear any more before I get the album.
Holy shit. I'm so fucking pumped now.

[tremulant25]

creamed myself over and over

[Joe512]

I loved how they used Paul's part from the video in that transition (@4:30), it's my favorite part of the song.

[holyfuck]

I thought colours would be the greatest release this year but definately not one of the most brutal imo. This is fucking heavy ish. It is very silent circus I love that.

[MustangMan311]

I loved how they used Paul's part from the video in that transition (@4:30), it's my favorite part of the song.

Yeah, I agree. I love what was on the end of that that we didn't see in the video.

[tremulant25]

You didn't expect BTBAM to release a pummeling assault of straight-forward "death metal", did you? You should know BTBAM better than that, they're not going to ever release a Suffocation album.

[holyfuck]

I am objectively saying that from the studio vids I figured thise would not be very brutal but still amazing. I was pleasantly surprised that this is brutal.

[Brogen]

after listening several times...that song is mega bad ass.

[tremulant25]

Oh, what? Nevermind. I thought you meant from the studio vids it was going to be brutal but this isn't. It really isn't brutal, it's pretty much a continuation of what they've always done, technical experimental metal.

[holyfuck]

aside from being my fav bands, I always credited them (among countless other shit) for having the most legendary breakdowns you will hear, like lost perfection, camilla rhodes, shevanel cut a flip, all bodies, autodidact, and this continues in that classic style. It is lol they are known for being on the most technically virtuosic bands out now, but can write the best crushing throWDoWNSSS!1

[DeleonBAND]

is there more then one colors vid?

i agree. their breakdowns are the shit.

[holyfuck]

brutality as a term is so dumb although I use it... HA HA HA!... hypocrisy.

Anyway, like are there terms that apply to brutality??? I find the theatricality of bm takes away from its "brutality"... I hold converge as the most brutal band out there, mainly because of intensity, I recall someone saying intensity > brutality. I dunno, shit like cryptopsy and converge = brutal to me.

On this dumb topic I gave genesis t0, I say that shit like... PARTS of cammila rhodes is very brutal, but btbam themselves I would not consider some grim bruTTALL band... prolly why they are my fav.

As for this song? It's bad-ass. I'm not gonna lie. ...until 04:30, when it quickly turns into a faggot excersise in self-indulgence. Way to completely butcher the flow of a song, btbam... I thought you would have learned by now. And that dream theater chromatic shit? Later on? Ew. Just fucking ew.

And just when I was starting to get excited, too.

if anyone wants an .m4a of it for their ipod pm me.

You guys are ruining your enjoyment of the finished product! thats one track you will not exactly pay as much attention to come leak time as you will be guessing the parts you already now know.The studio vid is a teaser..this is not a teaser but a whole song! I suggest you guys watch it once then delete and forget about it. think about it.

BZM is the biggest retard of all time for this, this song is perfect in all aspects,
if you wanna listen to some gay ass hardcore shit listen to TERROR and leave BTBAM alone

i agree about the song being perfect. i fucking love the so called "self indulgent" part or whatever he called it. this song has everything. jazz part, crazy ass riffage, heaviness, a breakdown, awesome clean singing, awesome chorus..what more can you want?

[underrealm]

Damn, you motherfuckers can be WAY too opinionated sometimes. ;)

[BZM]

fixed

Cry more, I actually have an opinion. If and when I hear a song on Colors that makes my jaw drop, I'll openly admit to loving it. But if BTBAM keeps it up with these bullshit transitions out of nowhere that they think their fans "expect and want" (which, sadly, some of them do), I'm going to keep hating.

Oh, and fuck you, dumb cunt; just because it has BTBAM stamped on it doesn't mean I'm automatically obliged to go down on it and gurgle the ejaculate. As I already said, I was VERY into the song up until the structuritis kicked in. I tend to like music that's MORE than the sum of its parts, not just "parts".

I know, i cant stand kids that expect BTBAM to go all hadcore/death metal, thats not what they are about at all, and if they don't realize that by now then they are going to be very dissapointed with "colors"

[cloudscollide]

This song was awesome. Can't wait to hear the studio version of it.

You make absolutely no sense at all, if you don't like that shit, then why even listen to btbam, thats who they are, and always have been, even on the self titled

[Adolf Warstarter]

I didnt say you would skip it. only anticipate the parts you now know. thus, Making your first listen not as enjoyable. Same thing happened with the live Alaska vid b4 the album leaked. People must have watched that shit loads of times, that when it eventually came round to the studio release, it didnt live up to their expectations. Studio vid was enough for me......Full album listen FTW!

[BZM]

No, I EXPECT them to transition from heavy to soft in a way that sounds like they put even a LITTLE bit of effort into it. Listen to the all-time classics like Mordecai and Ad A Dglgmut. On BOTH of those songs, laborious effort was put in to make the transition from heavy to haunting and/or touching + beautiful (respectively) clean sections as smooth and as magical as possible, the songwriting expertise showed in those two songs was what originally made me fall in fucking love with this band... and let's not forget Naked By The Computer and More Of Myself To Kill... back when BTBAM actually knew how to inject emotion into a song instead of... this. Now it just seems like they're trying to cram as many unrelated parts together as they can and wrap it in duct tape and pass it off as songwriting.

[Jotun]

The conclusion, after watching this video...the members of BTBAM know a lot about music.

this song is better than alaska by like 10000x imo. but i get what you mean. but this is all i have right now so im going to listen to it like mad haha. ill enjoy it on the album. this happened with excreations by the fall of troy too...only the live version came out like a year before.

I know COMPLETELY what you are talking about. I rip a lot of bands for this when I review cds. But, I'm not reviewing Colors, and I don't think this particular song was ruined. I think it was awesome and i'm sure it'll grow more on me when I hear the actual thing several times.

[DeleonBAND]

im pretty sure they just wrote a few songs they wanted to hear,and hope that maybe some of us will like it.im pretty sure they write the songs the way they think they should be to sound good.i bet paul doesnt give afuck what you think of his ideas,because they are his ideas,and he is getting paid for it.quit bitching,the cd owns.and you know it willbe on your play list for at least a month.

listen, the silent circus, and self titled were very very good, but alaska is one of the most beautifully destuctive albums of all time, its a masterpiece, selkies, all bodies, backwards marathon, the primer, autodidact, and of course alaska, all incredibly diverse, and equally amazing songs, don't get me wong the silent circus and the self titled are two of my favorite albums ever, but alaska definetly is my all time favorite and the writing on that album proves that btbam know how to do what they do very well, and for you to say that its not emotional, or that they are "cramming unrelated parts together" is just ridiculous....

Yes, you're right, they write the songs the way they think they should be and I KNOW paul doesn't care about what any of the old fans think, that's why he's writing guitar exercises instead of solos and warmups instead of riffs and thinking he's Opeth with the million parts and 10 minute long songs and DEP with the time sig changes when he doesn't possess the ability to make any of it cohesive.

okay i really disagree with you. the self titled and silent circus are farr better than alaska. alaska has some highs for sure, but it will never top either of the first two albums..ever. so i have to say some of the things youre saying is just ridiculous. if alaska had come from a different band, it would be a lot better because its technicality at its best - but theres no emotion in technicality. is there any emotion going on at the beginning of alaska? absolutely none. its just here..i can sweep like a broom. its a bit of a show off record, but after two records full of stuff that was already harder to play than what anyone else was putting out and were also filled with some of the most genuine songwriting (especially the s/t) i have ever heard - its hard to like alaska as much.

however, i think colors is going to be their best so far, at least from the two songs ive heard - because what i heard live was a mix of all their best assets. its their most technical stuff yet, but also the emotions are stronger than ever - mainly in sun of nothing. now i dont know if itll be a different feel on the album..we'll have to wait and see.

I got that feeling at the end of the song, definitely.
I liked every bit of the song, every part they did, but there was no transition, and it most definitely needs a smoother quality to it. I still think the song is great, but you've got a point. That's my only beef with the song.

I can agree with you, but there is a lot of emotion in selkies, and in backwards marathon, and plus when you write music just te way your playing is showing emotion, but i do agree that the s/t and the silent circus have more emotion, but i doo love a good show off (especially when he can pull it off as well as paul and dustie)

[tremulant25]

die in a fire

[xShrEDgex]

actually BZM knows more about music than most people on here.

though i am going to have to disagree with him on this one. I am a huge theory buff also, but this song is fucking retarded-good. Then again i love really spastic and unpredictable music

[BZM]

Showing off isn't music, and if you love a good show off, then you have complete shit for taste. Period. If I wanted to listen to showing off and repetitive sweeping, I'd listen to Jason Becker, who can do it better than Paul or Dusty combined.

the only emotion i heard in alaska was paul confessing his love for brooms

[BZM]

I like music that takes unpredictable turns... but those bands don't kid themselves about what they are or how they roll, bands like Dillinger, Martyr (feeding the abcess, warp zone <333), Theory In Practice... they throw down some of the weirdest shit you'll ever hear, but because that's their sole objective and they've spent so many countless years honing their craft instead of trying to completely shift genres, they've gotten really good at it.

This doesn't change the fact that your spectrum of musical appreciation is confined to a PAINFULLY small space, what you listen to is like the head of a pin compared to the grapefruit of musical cornucopia that the majority of posters here enjoy. Every single one of those bands save for pink floyd could almost belong on the same label and it just illustrates that you've been listening to this kind of shit for maybe a couple months, tops. Get the fuck out of here, new jack.

[fatalerror]

I thought that sweep part was really useless, it didn't really serve as much of a transition, although the novelty of it makes the song memorable. Everything up until that part was really making me want to rip shit apart and it kind of ruined that flow. And for the 500th fucking time, Alaska was good, but not as great as anything that preceded it.

Song is pretty brutalica.

Ion Dissonance, Cryptopsy, Defeated Sanity, Helios, The Appleseed Cast, Cephalic Carnage, Despised Icon, Pig Destroyer, Spawn of Possession, Xasthur, Envy, World's End Girlfriend, Akira Yamaoka, SikTh, Gorguts, Suffocation, Mogwai, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Beatles, Opeth, Ulver, Circa Survive, The End, The Hope Conspiracy, Martyr, Aereogramme, Converge...

Theory honestly has nothing to do with it. With other bands, even if I -DO- overanalyze usually all it leads to is exceedingly more enjoyment, as far as I'm concerned bands like Mogwai and Converge and any other band I just listed don't have flaws, and picking their music apart just reveals more hidden treasures instead of big ugly surgical scars from cut + paste transitions and glaring flaws.

Ion Dissonance, Cryptopsy, Defeated Sanity, Helios, The Appleseed Cast, Cephalic Carnage, Despised Icon, Pig Destroyer, Spawn of Possession, Xasthur, Envy, World's End Girlfriend, Akira Yamaoka, SikTh, Gorguts, Suffocation, Mogwai, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Beatles, Opeth, Ulver, Circa Survive, The End, The Hope Conspiracy, Martyr, Aereogramme, Converge... I could go on.

You cannot fuck with any band in this list. If you do, you are wrong, period.

I wouldn't try too fuck wit them, every band has their fine points, i like alot of those bands, and i dislike some of them, but whatever im not about to bash any of them, its not really ever cool to bash on a band or someones muical taste unless its TERROR, i really hate TERROR,

What do any of those childish allegations have to do with my taste in music? Way to dodge a bullet by bending over and sucking more cock. If you're going to try and cook up insults, at least make them count instead of trying to bedazzle me with how many question marks you can cram into a single worthless post. For you I have a much more believable explanation: someone stole your Y chromosome.

[yeah]

defeated sanity > any band at brutality

As for this song? It's bad-ass. I'm not gonna lie. ...until 04:30, when it quickly turns into a faggot excersise in self-indulgence. Way to completely butcher the flow of a song, btbam... I thought you would have learned by now. And that dream theater chromatic shit? Later on? Ew. Just fucking ew.

And just when I was starting to get excited, too.

[holyfuck]

silent circus > any album (for me) hahahahaha. I am always wondering if silent circus or jane doe is my favourite album evARRRR!1

I think there is "emotion" in alaska... some say its indulgent at the end of selkies, I think it is cheerful. I think the lyrical conceptual side of alaska is not as INTERPERSONAL, the whole concept is hiding the ills of society in pop culture socialized metaphors. It is supposed to feel veiled or unfeeling imo, to support the message. Plus, alaska feels faith no more meets king crimson meets cryptopsy imo.

But silent circus is the best evar. That is why I am happy that colors (this song) shares some likeness with it.

And mongrel rules, nuclear sad nuclear was meh for me, but mongrel is very impressive. the drums are >

[BZM]

But really, I -REALLY- like the first half of Decade Of Statues... it really hooked me, but then just like most new btbam, they start meandering and lose me. The rock singing part was fucking amazing. Then they start filler riffing, then that pointless clean part, then the HORRIBLE chromatic and sweeping shit... so disappointing :(

[Jotun]

some say its indulgent at the end of selkies, I think it is cheerful.

It's the key/mode that is cheerful...it's the sweeping that is indulgent. But whatever, the argument has been made x amount of times and always ends up the same.

[xShrEDgex]

Very Very Fake

yeah, we established that 45 minutes ago

[BZM]

btbam's problem is that they're not struggling to survive like they used to be, and they have no inspiration anymore to write dark music. no more serious topics. it's all prog indulgence now. tommy himself stated this in an interview that, since their recent successes, he's had problems finding things to be angry about and express it through music.

[holyfuck]

I think it would be naiive to say that it is agressive music's perogative to be angry... ultimately I think any emotion could be transferred through the writing, the agressive part only amplifies the weight of the emotion rather than angryfying it.

[BZM]

I never said it was aggressive music's prerogative, I simply said that it's BTBAM's excuse for ceasing to write dark, brooding music. If I wanted to hear happy heavy music, I'd listen to Jesu.

[holyfuck]

jesu rule hahahaha. I still sese sincerity in Alaska, if not emotional vulnerable music

[mircfool]

when bzm said he liked 311 i stopped taking anything he said seriously. i suggest you all do the same.

[BZM]

when bzm said he liked 311 i stopped taking anything he said seriously. i suggest you all do the same.

You still took me seriously enough to call me a "dick" for having an opinion contrary to yours, rofl. Shouldn't you be busy fucking that girlfriend of yours that looks like she should be your sister?

[Deathface]

when bzm said he liked 311 i stopped taking anything he said seriously. i suggest you all do the same.

What's wrong with 311? I've always liked those guys. One of my favorite bands to listen too when I just feel like relaxing. Dudes are talented as fuck too.

[BZM]

No shit, P-Nut slaps the fuck out of most rock bassists (in more than one sense of the word).

[Manwë]

No shit, P-Nut slaps the fuck out of most rock bassists (in more than one sense of the word).

P-Nut's the drummer.

Nah nah you were right.

[BZM]

Damn it, make up your mind people!

On that note, looks like your shit backfired, mircfool, rofl

[Manwë]

Haha regardless of names, both of them are solid as shit.

[mircfool]

311 is horrible. nothing but frat-catering shitty ass music.

wanna be groove drummer (aka white guy trying to be black) who uses many of the same beats throughout their way too long winded career.

bassist with no groove, only that of his white drummer.

to be "solid as shit" isn't that hard if you have any sense of rhythm

worst excuse for vocals i've ever heard with the again wanna be black white rapper, and the annoying ass whiny voice of nick hexum. the lyrics leave much to be desired, never really about anything meaningful or any cool ideas.

if you can point out a song that will contradict any of this ill gladly take my statement back.

yes ive gotten high and listened to them. still did nothing for me. made me pick out the imperfections even more and hate it more.

edit: with your expertise in the many other fields of music and your excruciating over analyzations of anything to come out, im still surprised you love such a simplistic band as this.

[yeah]

why do you care enough to rant and rave about how you hate 311. who cares. save your energy. there's bigger fish to fry...like Psyopus

[mircfool]

dude, i completely agree.
like, i don't think its necesarily horrible persay, i think its pretty catchy tbh, but its definetly got a new school btbam feel to it, which is sort of disappointing.

[mircfool]

i have to agree about transitions on this one though. my two cents on that:

if you listen to s/t most of the transitions were drum initiated. there was always a lead in to everything, but it was mostly will's doing. maybe its just blake thats missing them, not paul

[preech]

wow..."freakishly pink"(Lol's at underwear selection) i really never thought there could be someone as dumb as Deleon Band, but jebus titty fucking jew you're ignorant.the fact that you've made it apparent to have stupidity as your strong suit is just a godsend. i'm very glad that you think you can out wit BZM who has just made you look like a "welcome to Mcdonalds can i help you" representative.
The song in question was ok. but i hate to seriously see guys defend it to death just because its BTBAM. people that jock the fuck out of em (mircfool) just because they are btbam are plainly retarded when the music is nowhere up to par with the S/T - Silent Circus. i understand they need to change and make fresh music , but when the change is for the worse (imo) it seems there loyalist dick suckers and veggie protectors seem to be personally offended with it ( and knock someones personal taste/ music ability). If some of you went out on a limb and listened to new music , you'd see btbam is not doing anything different or special.

It's the key/mode that is cheerful...it's the sweeping that is indulgent. But whatever, the argument has been made x amount of times and always ends up the same.

Just curious here, guys... What's so indulgent about a few sweeps? I personally found the 'Selkies' outtro to be somewhat fitting. The only thing that bugs me about it are the countless douchebags who are like "OMG! TEH SWEEPZ! NOTES AT LIKE A MILLION MILES AN HOUR!".

I mean, it can be a little "wanky", but it can also give that much more depth to a song. I think the way Paul plays the outro sweeps to Selkies is great because he does it in a way that it almost doesn't even sound like a guitar.

[mircfool]

Despised Icon's biggest problem has always been vocalists, to me...The music on Consumed By Your Poison is excellent, but that fucking bitch does 5,000HP damage with that shit voice of hers.

His skill is mostly in rudiments...he was a drum corps guy before he was in 311. Nobody said 311 is amazing, just that they don't suck as bad as you like to think they do, haha.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyTBEDKqV-o

I'm sure if he wanted to groove all over their records, he could...gotta be radio-friendly though.

Fuck no...not to me anyways, haha.

i think i remember on the ion dissonance forums that somebody said she looked like the ginger chick who taught people to scream on that zen of screaming dvd, so.... no, sadly.:emot-fail

[GravesOfTheFathers]

wooo my state/concert venue is finally famous for something!

[GravesOfTheFathers]

listen, the silent circus, and self titled were very very good, but alaska is one of the most beautifully destuctive albums of all time, its a masterpiece, selkies, all bodies, backwards marathon, the primer, autodidact, and of course alaska, all incredibly diverse, and equally amazing songs, don't get me wong the silent circus and the self titled are two of my favorite albums ever, but alaska definetly is my all time favorite and the writing on that album proves that btbam know how to do what they do very well, and for you to say that its not emotional, or that they are "cramming unrelated parts together" is just ridiculous....

Not really. Alaska has no structure whatsoever. It sounds like a bunch of random riffs slapped together. The only songs that shy away from that are Autodidact and Selkies.

[holyfuck]

its a wicked song. everytime i hear the breakdown all i see is michael jackson doing the moonwalk now. that adds to its awesomeness.

his singing on the new songs is fucking wicked. the clean parts especially - hes improved a lot. at least what i heard live...

[Brogen]

oh i should also mention..that sun of nothing blows this song out of the water - and from what i remember didnt have any of those "self indulged" parts. i love this song, but sun of nothing is truly a masterpiece.

[concentrate]

I just listened to the .m4a of DOS. I fucking creamed. The part that Paul does where he does a strange sweep into ugly chords then alt picking always gets me. In case if no understood me it was around it was on the studio teaser and its on this vid at 4:31. FUCK!

are you talking about the .m4a of the live video?

[My Arms Your Hearse]

I dunno, it comes out of nowhere, but the part itself is awesome/reminds me of mario + aesthetic.

[yeah]

^ haha, i was thinking that too

[Brogen]

are you talking about the .m4a of the live video?

the m4a that i captured. a couple pages back i offered it to everyone. only two people asked for it.

[Captain Amazing]

I really liked the 4:31 part... however I will agree with what others are saying on here that the transition to it was pretty poorly done. It's just like "Well, I couldn't think of anything else for this last part, so I guess I'll start something new here. Let's go guys."

I also will admit to not having a very wide range of musical knowledge or a very large catalogue. While I've at some point listened to an album or at least a few songs from each band that was on [as an example] the list that BZM posted awhile ago, my actual boundaries for musical enjoyment are quite narrow and small. I tend to find five or six bands I really like, listen the shit out of them for a few months, ignoring everything else, and then tossing them off my playlist, forgetting everything I've heard from them, and finding six new bands to repeat the process with. I have a very small library of shit I listen to reguarily that skips this process... BTBAM happens to be on that list [as is dredg, Poison the Well, Nothingface, Pink Floyd, Misery Signals, Matthew Good, and very few others]. That's not to say I'm someone who runs around critiquing everyone who doesn't like the same shit I like. Like whatever you want, just don't look down on ME for not liking something you like, or liking something you think is bullshit.

Anyway, the new shit sounds wicked and I want to hear this fucking album now. I was really hoping for it to leak last Thursday, as I spent about 15 hours driving on the weekend and was planning on spinning the album for all 15 of those hours. But alas, it'll have to wait until next month's road trips.

[Wes]

....the transition to it was pretty poorly done....

[BZM]

^^ bingo

[Captain Amazing]

I included all that shit so people wouldn't read my opinion and take it as me trying to be elitist and think I know everything. I obviously don't know shit, but that's the observation I made while listening to the song, that the transition seemed kind of out of place with the rest of it.

I also said that I listened to a ton of music of wide varieties, I just don't usually end up making it regular on my playlist. I tend to listen to almost every album I come across at least once all the way through, not just one song and say "Oh this sucks". I just run through different phases.

But whatever right :emot-roll

[Sudden Intoxication]

I obviously don't know shit.

I agree.
