- Some thoughts about how BTBAM organizes their endless gnarly riffs. Basically, modularity, cyclicality, and expanding return.
For a more in-depth look at these concepts and the rest of the album, check out my masters thesis:

And for some similar ideas in Dream Theater:

This is what I've always wanted for metal. Academia and Metal music. Dude you are an absolute legend
Oh man..I just found a treasure channel!! what a freak :p
you had my heart with the Frances the Mute shirt \m/ TMV is probably one of the greatest bands of all time IMHO
Agreed!
I know right I love them Btbam and I would probly crap myself if he did a breakdown on Cygnus... vismund Cygnus 4:17 on. That part screwed with me for a really long time.
Parallax II was my first metal album as well! It's so dense, with so many sections and parts each with tasty riffs!
Thanks so much for giving this attention! :)
The whole static and variable component framework is absolutely brilliant
I'm going to see BTBAM for the first time in July, playing Parallax II in its entirety. I'm SO pumped!
An absolute banger
Dude, you're amazing! I've been playing for a decade and I'm only just now figuring out arpeggios and triads and how the neck and chords and scales and everything is all connected lol. I've been trying to figure out where to go from here and I feel like this is gonna be a huge help seeing how they come up with this stuff.
In future videos, when you put the notation and tabs up, would it be possible to add in what chords the riff is hinting at?
I've also been into BTBAM since Colors and struggled to wrap my ahead around their approach to writing. This really helped me start to understand their structure better and even take a couple of organizational ideas that I can apply to my own writing. Thanks for this deep dive!
This is dope!
ha
because of you I started listening to The Mars Volta and Gorguts. And re-listening much of BTBAM. As well as getting to know Carbomb better. They confused me too hard when I first saw them unprepared ^^
keep wearing those awesome bandshirts! :D
haha thanks! Glad they are appreciated
Nice analysis dude! Love BTBAM, saw their colors tour in 2017. If they did a Parallax II full tour (with part 1 too!) I would love it.
Thanks! That would be awesome! The 10 year anniversary will be 2022, fingers crossed! And hopefully we'll still get some version of the double set "evening with" tour when shows start happening again...
Played these riffs (poorly) a thousand times, never noticed the open string tie in you explain @ 7:20. Mind blown!
Ok. Insta scrubbed because of the shirt and music choice.
By the end of the video, I had the notifications set to all.
Good shit!
EXCELLENT...! I love what u do.
This is amazing. Any analysis on Coma, Automata, and Colors 2
This is some good shit. Didn't know btbam had so much repetition in their heavy sections
MORE
Oh I've got a whole lot of BTBAM stuff planned, stay tuned
@@metalmusictheory5401 My every hope and wish for the success of your channel. I just binged all your videos and love your creativity.
I've commented a few times, I would love to see an analysis for the first 2 minutes of Sun of Nothing. There are some really interesting false cadence things going on, and odd seeming resolutions that ultimate distract from the true resolution just before the first acoustic section.
Also, I have been dying to analyze ion dissonance's first album myself, but I never really learned to apply what I learned in school to modern metal as you have so skillfully done.
I'd love to see some "method" videos that discuss how to analyze and transcribe with all the noise and alternate tunings and whatnot so I might try my hand at analyzing some of my favorite music too!
Good luck, and I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow!
@@metalmusictheory5401 The intro to Astral Body seems like a ripe source for more on your auditory parallax analysis. How the lead riff of Paul sets the expectation of time signature, but then the rest of the band joins in with a very eastern sounding rhythmic structure, and the lead voice never seems to properly coincide with the rest of the band until the melodic resolution. It's bonkers! I'd love to hear your analytical take on that too.
@@nanthilrodriguez Thank you so much! Will def do a lot more about BTBAM, and I think Sun of Nothing was the first of their songs I learned to play front to back. And I've actually been thinking about doing a transcription method video! Currently transcribing some more Car Bomb and I think it would be interesting to at least some people to see what that process actually looks like.
@@metalmusictheory5401 Sun of Nothing taught me to play guitar. Before that I was sing-strumming and playing pop-punk and radio rock stuff, and then I bought the colors sound book and that's when my journey on the guitar actually started. It took me a solid 2 or 3 years to learn it front to back, but it introduced me to so many new techniques and ideas on the guitar I never even knew were possible. And that opening riff is just... *italian fingers* juicy
Dope content
i fucken love that guitar dude
"...and etc, starwise" lol
So this means you're gonna do a Mars Volta series now?
I wish he would I’m already subbed but I would sub like 5 more times.
P2 is the best prog metal album of all-time.
Yeah, Periphery is the shit!😉😁
Sweet shirt!
Great!!! And yes do Tetragrammaton and Cassandra Gemini!!!
the lighting at the concert makes them look like they're playing ukuleles...
that would be black metal af...
at 7:44 what is that book and how do I get that? love the video btw Im a big btbam fan and have really enjoyed your musical analysis on some of my favorite bands thus far, Ive been being wathcing your videos like crazy tonight
Thank you! And it was something they sold with the release of P2, hard to find a physical copy these days but someone put the whole thing up on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheBuriedAndMe/comments/18nsky/the_guide_to_the_parallax_ii_future_sequence/
You have awesome content!!! Curious on your thoughts about stuff in the vein of Deathspell Omega and Gorguts.
Thanks! Short answer is they're some of my favorite bands. I've got some videos on the way eventually with some longer answers and analysis!
@@metalmusictheory5401 Excellent! I'm aware theory is your focus but would also love to hear your thoughts on technique as well
Frances the Mute and BTBAM. Say less
thank you for the master thesis! I wish I could do something similar for mine, instead I analyzed Arvo Part (which was great, but not metal)
Still pretty new to your channel but holy fuck, fist time seeing that Ibanez and that was honestly awesome. Right there with you on the BTBAM love.
Also was this around the time they toured with Baroness & Mastodon?
Thanks! This was a little after that-I think that was like 2010, the (first) tour for Parallax II was 2013 (with The Faceless, The Contortionist, and The Safety Fire-had to double check because that sounds too good to be true in retrospect lol).
Does anyone else hear the Zelda Chest Theme in 10:18?
That t-shirt \m/
Does btbam have a name for the segments where they switch riffs and measures fast then repeat? They have them scattered throughout their albums since the beginning. Only heard 1 other band do try its almost exclusive to them
Use of a weapon, Alaska, white walls, specular reflection to name a few notable songs. Usually goes riff pause, blast beat pause another riff then repeat
Interesting! No name that I know of. But the main thing of music theory is making up names for things so if you have a good one go for it!
Dude what is your name, I cant call you MMT.
Calder Hannan! All the places to find me are in my channel description
@@metalmusictheory5401 Thanks Chandler. Please consider sitting down in your video. You'd look more relaxed. Top-quality content
