    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.

  • @KytexEdits
    @KytexEdits 3 года назад +319

    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.

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.

      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

    It's definitely one of their standout tracks and a really good, diverse showcase of all the things they can do within a song. Next, you could either check out "Obfuscation", or "The Coma Machine" which is a newer song that leans more into the old school prog rock vibes you discovered here

    The fabled Selkies sweeps can transport you through space and time making that few minutes feel like seconds, and then feel like hours afterwards.

    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”.

    2 things that make this song great IMHO.
    1. That clean guitar solo is just soul warming and wraps around the ears like a cloth of silk.
    2. The very ending section, sounds to me like it is the outro theme music to an early television sitcom. If you listen to it, and pretend you are the announcer saying things like, "recorded live in front of a live studio audience", in that charasmatic tone these announcers had, will really have an effect on you! Sort of along the lines of a three's company outro tune. Maybe, im crazy, but thats what signals that section hits in my brain!

The last 5 minutes of that track might be my favorite instrumental passage of all time.

    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.
