Medicine Wheel is also excellent.  Post-rocky in places.

So you don't rate "The Anatomy Of"?

I like all the songs off that album.
The first two albums were more hit and miss though.
The next step is to hear Colors, their last album they did. Best they have done so far, and my favorite release of 2007 too.
More experimental and quirky moments, better musicianship and they seem more sure of themselves too.

Backwards Marathon is also good.

Reminds me of Porcupine Tree in a way... *ducks*

I really prefer listening to BtBaM  to DT now, especially as of late what with DT's keyboardist ruining songs with w**kery. I'm actually really starting to agree with the people that preferred the old DT stuff that had the keyboardist who preferred atmosphere to high tech soloing.
I prefer metal bands that bring the technicality to the riffs rather than the solos too, it makes for a better song.

Someone should stick Alaska on Rico's MP3 player without telling him and label all the tracks as by Tangerine Dream. LOL

BtBaM have some cool instrumentality. Big smile

I keep reading that sentence, but it won't make sense.


The only way is could be better is if it included the phrase "21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's Quadrophenia." I would probably kill people.
Hahaha, you need to be a music journalist!
if you own a sodastream i hate you

Aye, 'tis good that part.

It has a fade out though... ewwww.

The vocalist has a somewhat different timbre to his voice to that of Akerfeldt, someone you're more familiar with anyway. To be fair, a few years ago had I heard BtBaM I wouldn't have enjoyed the vocals much either, but I warmed to that style over time.
And yes, Selkies has quite a great instrumental melodic section in there that I love.

Apparently there's an instrumental version of Fear of a Blank Planet as well.  I may give it a listen.

If the Ramones made an album over an hour long consisting of heaps of tracks does it become inaccessible?
