    It's amazing that any band could do a live recording of their current album from start to finish. Bent Knee completely nailed it. No crowd was there to cheer them on, but this is authentic and emotional. I love that even with all their talent they don't play so perfectly that it seems stale. Love the look on Courtney's face when Ben starts Time Deer a bit faster than expected. :-) They don't play to a click, and I love that.

      Between the Buried and Me has done multiple tours playing multiple albums from front to back. They also have a live recording similar to this set up for The Parallax II. Amazing prog-metal band if you haven't heard them.

    As a musician that grew up during the Cambrian Explosion of prog/art rock--the 70s--Bent Knee is some of the most refreshing prog I've heard in years. All are very good musicians. Courtney is an astounding singer and a beautiful woman.

      I saw them last night in Atlanta, Ga. USA, and was quite impressed. They were opening act for Leprous and Haken, so they were introduced to a largely Prog/Metal audience, and they were received well. I was impressed by their musicianship. Ben was the most active one on stage followed by the violin player ( don't know his name ) but Courtney was anchored behind the keyboard and her mic stand.

    Saw these guys with Haken and Leprous. I liked their stuff well enough, but HOLY SHIT this music is insane live. I think it's because the dynamic range is so much larger in person, but the contrast in the lighter, quieter segments and the the parts where they go all-out just isn't something you can get from a pair of headphones.

      Honestly in my personal opinion their albums are produced horribly. Everything is way too loud it’s like you can’t hear anything because you can hear too much of everything. But I saw them live and they’re incredible in that setting, just can’t really listen to their albums unfortunately.
