Heavy Metal Reactions
👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
I think my most RAW comment came at @17:32 so I decided to keep it in the vid - HAPPY ALOHA FRIDAY!! Oh, had a couple of comments asking about my hat - 🧢 Newsboy Caps: amzn.to/3EENttZ
I say that every time when I get to the end of the last song on that album... Life In Velvet
Buddy thank you.
Keep it dirty, keep it pure 💙
😂
That's a great way to get an "I'm still here" lol. That was great!
Every time I get Geebz reacting to BTBAM it's like getting Christmas all over again. 😁😁😁
I feel the same way, such a beautiful band!
He has to do Dim Ignition and Famine Wolf now 😎🤘🏻
Matt i couldn't agree more! :)
For real! Best reactions. Love it
Same here, love to see him loving some BTBAM!!!!
"They're pulling Queen so hard on this"
You're absolutely right. This whole album in it's entirety is inspired by Queen. Tommy, the vocalist said in several interviews they wanted to make a Rock Opera because They all love the song Bohemian Rhapsody
They recorded a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody of course, and they went through a phase of playing it live quite regularly.
They also did a cover of Bicycle Race on their "The Anatomy of" covers album.
I felt that as well.
BTBAM actually helped me getting into Queen with Come Ecliptic. :D
I feel some Pink Floyd influence on some of the tracks as well
@@everettleach Yes definitely. I see some Pink Floyd inspiration dotted across most of their discography
The outro to this album, Option Oblivion into Life in Velvet, is just incredible
Such a great song. The drummer, Blake Richardson, is hands down my favorite drummer alive right now. I have been saying it and will keep saying it. You NEED to see them do the Extremophile Elite playthrough live at the Fidelitorium from the album before this one. The vocalist and the bass player both do keys, but primarily it is the vocalist Tommy Rogers. He is amazing. The guitar player, Paul, will sometimes do vocals too, but as far as 98% of the time it is just Tommy doing both growling and singing.
Second Extremophile Elite at the Fidelitorium
This guy gets it. One of my favorite songs of all time.
The Silent Flight Parliament live drum cam video is insane too. Future Sequence is my all time favorite BTBAM album. (Way better than Colors)
Can you source a song Paul sings in?
@@sh9019Desert of Song
You've barley scratched the surface into how creative they are. You really should check out all of Colors in order
And then Colors II also in order hah. Lots of clever references to the first album it is fantastic.
Ooh, a live stream where he listens to the entire album in one sitting! That would rule.
@@therileyobrien yeah dude... I’ve listened to it so many times and still come across some references. Just the other day when I returned to colors 1…
I stopped, checked and... ua-cam.com/video/7CcOcR-u6Kk/v-deo.htmlm44s ... even the timestamps are close to each other 😅 ua-cam.com/video/INbvdpCMITU/v-deo.htmlm3s
Colors 2 may be just as good. Which is insane as it's thier best album.
@@OmegaSoypreme I would watch!
I opened for BTBAM years ago and when they came on stage, they didn't introduce themselves or stop playing for the first hour and a half. Hour and a half in... "Were Between the Buried and Me. Great to be here!"
Like song (album) like show!
17:33 "fuck that was great!"... Geebz I have the same reaction every time I jam some BTBAM 😂🤘 my favorite band of all time!
Still one of my go to BTBAM songs to recruit new followers 😂
It worked!😎
A couple I like to use is Informal Gluttony and Prequel To The Sequel
Swim to the Moon
@@kane480 Ad A Dglgmut and Selkies are some of my go-tos as well
Nice! You finally got around to this one. =) Like Lee, this is one I wish more people listen to. I feel it showcases Tommy's clean and melodic vocals more than their older tracks. It's got a good proggy chug but a lot of BTBAM nuances without being overwhelming. Whole album is one of my top favs of all time.
Love the BTBAM. They are the prog metal GOAT.
The bassist is a big Elfman fan, good catch!
both named Dan/Danny too
BTBAM always makes me think of heavy metal Rush and Queen. They’re such a fun band, especially seeing them live. One of the greatest live shows I’ve seen
They do remind me of a mix of both in this album for sure but heavier and more chaotic of course. Well spotted
Your BTBAM reactions are the most genuine validation for my love of this band. I would even sacrifice further first-time-listen reactions if you listened to their whole discography and then do a reaction/discussion 🤓
Its SO hard to listen to this track and hear Dim Ignition starting up and NOT being able to hear it..
Saw them for the third time about a month ago and FINALLY got to hear them play Dim Ignition live....its a sadly very short track but I just adore its synthy goodness!
Din Ignition is top tier BTBAM
I got into Between the Buried and Me back when they released Alaska. It's been an amazing journey along with them.
You deserve to listen to their albums front to back, I feel bad knowing you're going weeks/months between tracks 😂
The drummer here is just insane. Watching their live I sometimes have to question if he's actually human. There's nothing extra special obviously, but the accuracy and memory is like he's a robot. He can and sometimes does play these songs exactly like they were played on album. To me that's insane.
i see Geebz and BTBAM, i click like lol. Worth mentioning the entirety of Coma Ecliptic is an awesome, intense, melodic piece with cool transitions from front to back. Much the same can be said about the majority of their albums.
Geebz, for future reference, with all the love in my heart, most all of their songs post Alaska feed into each other.
You SOOO need to hear the follow up to this one: "Famine Wolf" it's incredible. One of my favorite songs they've made.
Watching you react to BTBAM is why I'm here. I can't wait for more. BTBAM is your favorite Metal Band's favorite band. They are that GOOD and that creative. Also, please be advised that a lot of their songs are simply a piece of the album as the albums are often meant to be listened to as an entire piece.
This whole album builds on itself one song into the next, and is an absolute masterpiece
Would love to see Geebz host an interview with BTBAM.
I'm Still Here! And it's time you reacted to The Primer, Geebz. You're officially ready, awwwwright!!!
Yeeeess!! More BTBAM, my absolute favourite band.
Love me some BTBAM. If you get around to it, check out The Great Misdirect. Whole album is great but the combo of Desert of Song and Swim to the Moon is so good.
HUGE fan of Swim to the Moon. Even though I'm quite sure it's their longest song.
I’m still here! Big BTBAM fan here enjoying rinsing with you after working 26 hour shift here. I also so appreciate and am given hope by the musicians of today. The kids are alright!
Gonna do my thing and keep plugging a band I don’t think we’ve had yet on the channel: Alkaloid - prog/tech god tier. The songs “Rise of the Cephalopods” and “Carbon Phrases” will blow your socks off. Just a penny in the wishing well for one of those someday…
Much appreciation for what you do!
Dipping in a couple months late to provide some context to this song and BTBAM as a whole coming from a long time fan (since The Silent Circus album)
Coma Ecliptic as an album is a concept album. The story is that our protagonist uses this machine that put him into a coma and allows him to be transported into his past lives. Each song represents a different life and they are treated as episodes in a sort of Twilight Zone/Black Mirror reality where they are self-contained yet loosely connected.
BTBAM as a band lyrically touches on the idea of dreams and subconscious realities. In the Parallax EP and Parallax II albums the protagonists of that story commune between themselves and others in their dreams. In the two Automata albums the protagonist wakes from a computer simulation to discover that the life he has always known with his son was nothing more than a dream. Tommy likes to write about dreams and it is a bit of an inside joke between longtime fans.
Colors and Colors II as concept albums are more about connected commentaries about humanity and society, but both are written as single pieces of music cut into several songs rather than a collection of songs packaged as an album. Coma Ecliptic is similarly written but it's easier to differentiate the songs and experience them separately.
Back on the topic of the Parallax songs, this is a storyline that has been years in the making. The first songs of the story were actually from the band's 2nd album way back in 2005 in the form of Lost Perfection A & B. They added to the story in the Colors album with The Prequel to the Sequel and then two more songs joined the saga on the Great Misdirect album with Fossil Generia (A Feed from Cloud Mountain) and Swim to the Moon. Eventually the Parallax EP was released with three songs picking up directly after the events of Swim To The Moon. Then the Parallax II album brought the story to an end. There is one more song tangentially associated with the story from Coma Ecliptic where the protagonist of that album meets the deuteragonist from the Parallax on the song Turn On the Darkness. I am beyond obsessed with this storyline and love talking about it, if you haven't been able to tell. It's a dramatic space opera.
There is also a cover album that the band put out years ago that kind of highlights all of their influences. Metallica, Pantera, Motley Crue, and Queen all make appearances on the album. More interestingly Pink Floyd and King Crimson are also nestled in there along with Counting Crows and Faith No More. It's the band's forgotten album because as much as we love the band's music, they just aren't as fun when they're playing someone else's stuff.
I'll end my rant there. My final bit of advice is to try to not listen to anything of BTBAM's in a vacuum. Make it a donation incentive or a patreon exclusive where you sit down and just listen to one of their albums end to end in a single sitting. It's how much of their music is intended to be experienced, at least anything after Colors, so that includes Colors, The Great Misdirect, Parallax 1+2, Coma Ecliptic, Automata 1+2, and the most recent Colors II.
Great song.
I'm still here.
A fun detail about this song that you might enjoy: Often when the band plays this number live, the final time they play that main riff section (at 13:00 in the video) they'll play it over a shuffle beat from the drummer and bassist. It's amazing how such a simple change makes it sound so dramatically different
Do you have a link for an example? I've never noticed that live
I'd heard that they basically started doing this because they were touring with Leprous and their drummer sort of dared Blake to do it haha
Coma Ecliptic will always be my favorite. It was the first BTBAM album I discovered. Since then I have ventured backwards and forwards in the catalog ever since including cd, bluray, and vinyl purchases and seeing them live I think 6 times now including the most recent tour a month or so ago!
I think this would be a fantastic long form video.
I started with them with Colors, but when i listened to this album I knew they'd never top it in my mind. Listening to this whole album front to back is an experience. I hope Geebs will listen to it straight through even if not recording it.
Like Joshua, I also started with Colors, and I also think Coma Ecliptic is peak BTBAM, along with Automata II. I still have yet to hear Colors II
I started with Alaska
Months later, they released Colors, when i listen it... BOOM!
There are other BTBAM songs on other albums I like more, but Coma Ecliptic is my favorite album of theirs. It’s just a great front-to-back listen. I think the thing I like most about it is how much movement and dynamicism there is; it just goes to a lot of different places.
At this point, you shouldn't feel too bad for songs flowing into other songs, when it comes to this band. Almost every song flows into the next song.
Awwright!! I almost always start this album with “Dim Ignition.” For such a short song, it’s just KILLER-and I know it segues into “Famine Wolf,” but it’s so good on its own, too.
This album sounds like a perfect match for some sort of Roswell Area 51 alien mystery. Especially with the intro track, Node.
It makes me feel like I've just woken up in an alien spaceship. I can't explain any more than that.
This is THE band for music nerds. It's why they're my favorite. I'll sell my scalp if you listen to one of their albums all the way through. Any of them.
"you're telling me this runs right into another song?"
Don't worry, they all do 😂
BTBAM's drummer Blake Richardson is even more insane when you realize he doesn't play with a click, and is as precise as a frikken surgeon live.
While you are right he used to not play to a click in the past, he most certainly does now. Their whole light show is programmed to their click track. Search some recent live videos of them, it looks incredible!
I love BTBAM so much. When I was younger, I thought they’d never too Colors and yet they just keep doing it. It’s been like 15 years of one-up-manship. Love em
Colors 2 is a masterpiece
Still here! This band is amazing. I’ve been following them since Colors first came out and they just never run out of new ideas.
I feel like BTBAM has faithfulness to both Mastodon and Opeth with the ways they can make clear, almost sweeping movements in a full-length song while exploring weird spaces that are more prog than “traditional” operatic changes.
It’s definitely out there.
I first heard this and the rest of the album when I was hanging out with some fun guys *cough, cough*, and holy crap, I've never heard it the same way again. I like to think I was one of the first to request this. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm glad I didn't miss the reaction!!
Geebz and BTBAM is a wonderful combo
Still here. BtBaM is one of my faves.
I’m still here. Fuck that was great. More BTBAM!!
Awesome band, I discovered them when I was in my 40's. I've always been a classic rock guy, loving Yes and Rush. Dream Theater got me into some more current bands and away I went.
"fuck that was great" lol
If any modern band can channel the magic of 70s prog and not have it be contrived or fake, it’s BTBAM (also Opeth)
That album is incredibly underrated. "The Ectopic Stroll", also from that album, has some of the most interesting experimental elements I've heard in prog metal. I can highly recommend that track.
Also; Thanks as always for the great work! Happy to see that you appreciated this amazing track.
Hell yeah, more btbam! I would love to see what you make of their song Voice of Trespass!
Blake Richardson and Matt Gartska are the greatest LIVING drummers, MFing PERIOD! I’m convinced, anyway! 👊🏼👊🏼
3:38 drift into slumber geebz…
You driftin’
Into…
Slumber…
Watched till the end. You are great, I appreciate your attention.
Love the BTBAM reviews…one of the most underrated and under-appreciated bands around. Been listening to them since 2005 and have only gotten better. Awwwright 🤙
If you are looking for another band like BTBAM I highly recommend Native Construct. They only put out 1 album but it's an amazing concept album
Quiet World is an absolute masterpiece! I really wish we could've gotten more music from Native Construct.
BTBAM actually helped Native Construct crowdfund new instruments after someone raided their trailer. For a fresh-outta-college band like Native Construct, that very well could've ended their careers in music. They're not a band anymore, but they got a good couple years of touring and gigs outta that. Mad respect for BTBAM
@@collinbeal BTBAM is also the reason they got signed and were able to record their album as well.
"I am still here!" Love seeing your genuine reactions to my favorite band of all time. Please keep digging into more BTBAM, Geebz! Aw-right!
Amazing album. Even got to see them perform the album in its entirety opening for DTP. Was flawless
That whole show was insanely intense. My first time seeing both and I’m so glad I experienced it.
Btbam albums are always better front to back then listening to single songs
Crazy to think I found BTBAM almost 20 years ago. Fell in love with them from their self titled album, and they just grew and evolved from there into something even more amazing than I could have ever imagined.
I love BTBAM so much. So glad to see you do this one.
Seeing someone appreciating so many artist has been amazing for me personally. If everyone that claimed that they listen “everything” actually listening to anything beyond the billboard, then maybe we could all just get along. There is just so much good music. In every genre culture, and period time. Nothing should be discounted until it after it’s been accepted. Aloha. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
living for that BTBAM triple feature 😉
I'm so glad I saw this, just so I can revisit this album. Ffffffuuuuuuuuu
yes the Queen influence is always there with BTBAM. You should listen to their cover of bicycle race.
Love this band! Always enjoyable watching someone's face as their brain struggles to process the glory of BTBAM. Keep on rocking Geebz!
Great reaction video! I really recommend watching the live concert of Coma Ecliptic they've published, it's even more awe inspiring seeing them pull it off live with no mistakes! Love seeing your BTBAM reactions 👌🏼
Their most underrated album imo. Saw them a few months ago for the fifth or sixth time and they were at their absolute best! Epic band... Thanks for doing these!
Somebody else recommended Native Construct, and I’m going to as well in hopes to increase the likelihood that you’ll see it. They’re similar to BTBAM in many ways and had a personal connection with them as well at one point. ‘Chromatic Aberration’ is their best song IMO, but it’s nearly 13 minutes long. If that’s too long for the channel, I think ‘The Spark of the Archon’ is their next best.
Dim Ignition/Famine wolf are the next two songs. They both use the final keyboard riff multiple times.
Thanks for a reminder to revisit this album. Other than Colors, this is probably my favorite album by btbam.
Best song on the album for me
Never Seen/ Future Shock from Colors 2 is such a great journey. Highly recommend.
One of my BTBAM favorites is Selkies: The Endless Obsession.
Man you gotta listen to the Sfumato(intro)/Human is Hell(Another One With Love) combo from their most recent album. Such a masterpiece along with Never Seen/Future Shock. BTBAM is god tier music
Nice hat!! Scores a few of those for my pops for his birthday! Thanks for showing BtBaM some more love! Sometime, you should react to their earlier stuff, like More of Myself to Kill, Aspirations, Mordecai, All Bodies, Alaska. I bet you would love comparing their early stuff with their later stuff
You’d be blown away by the juxtaposition of the next song Dim Ignition just from a style standpoint. BTBAM are one of my all time favorites and I always look forward to your decompositions
No such thing as a real chorus with BTBAM. But its soooo good. The progression is un-matched. Every song is its own story.
It really is like Christmas watching you react to BTBAM. Would love to see you react to their The Proverbial Bellow. It's probably their most epic track and their drummer has said it's one of his favorites!
If you have some free time one night, Between The Buried And Me have done live shows where they play straight through entire albums. Their Coma Ecliptic show is AMAZING. You'll see how the album is essentially one song that lasts over an hour.
So awesome you're getting back to BTBAM!
God dang they're so talented, it's like watching a play. Like a heavier version of Jesus Christ Superstar!
Thanks for the great vids, love ya, man.
Keep on rockin'!
I cannot believe you mentioned Jesus Christ Superstar! Without a doubt hands down my most favorite musical theater rock opera.
@@KeyOfGeebz I had the great pleasure of seeing it up in Stratford, when we took a school trip to Canada in late 2010. Still my favorite play, and the best live music experience for me, it was fantastic!
This comment is totally on point. They write almost like they're writing rock operas each time. It's like listening to metal musicals!
@@KeyOfGeebz I could not agree more, and the vinyl is just 🤌🤌❤❤❤
yoo, I got into this band because of your channel Geebz. I have not heard this album by them yet. it sounds very different from the albums I've heard!
This is probably their most tame record! Still absolutely breathtaking. Saw them tour this album 2 times, best shows I've seen from them.
If you get a chance, listen to Colors 1 and 2 in their entirety. Play them in order and i guarantee it will be the best 2 hours of your life
Almost all their songs flow into each other lol
your smile is so contagious, great video as always
I got to see BTBAM with Chon and Intervals right before covid hit, and im so glad I did, they fucking kill it live
The BTBAM "Evening With" concert was my first concert since covid hit, it was awesome! First set was a song off of every album including colors 2, second set was The Great Misdirect entire playthrough. What an amazing concert it was!
An evening with… was the last show I saw before covid lockdown and it was fantastic as usual.
I'm still here and I love the fact you are too!
I commend you for reacting to literally some of the best music of any reaction channel. Killin it, Geebz!
You have got to try to get Elizabeth (The Charismatic Voice) to hop on the BTBAM-wagon with you! She'd have a field day with the vocals alone. Would be a helluva collab!
The next song is so f in good!!!
Seeing you do Human as Hell from their newest record would be ddooopppee
I'm still here. Love it. Will watch every Between the Buried and Me and Protest the Hero track you react too.
I’m still here. More btbam! Always more!
if you want piano you need "The Ectopic Stroll"
Every time Geebz reacts to BTBAM my day is made (:
damn it was worth to wait until the very end
Yeah I would absolutely love a full album listen through of this album...it's a masterpiece!
You should check out the song that this one runs into (Dim Ignition), it’s a real BANGER!!
Huge Mr Bungle influence at points in this song
No smoke, no smoke! That whole album, like some of their others, is a string of composition. Hope you get the chance to enjoy it in its whole someday! its completely worth it.
You've got to do Voice of Tresspass at some point. Absolutely wild.
I'm still here. Today, tomorrow, next week
Still here Geebz! You should have just played through and decomposed the next song 🤣. Seriously though thanks again for choosing BTBAM! Your analysis really has rekindled my interest on a lot of bands and music in general. Its a beautiful thing we've been gifted!
