BTBAM is one of my favorite band and i'm happy to see they are one of your favorite too. I've always thought they deserve more popularity. Great video as always, and good job with the transition between SoN and AotS, that sweeping section always got me some trouble :)
Never noticed this before, great job. I remember reading an interview where they mentioned that they started writing the album from Ants until the end, and then went back and wrote the first half of the album leading up to Ants. Interesting that they chose this sequence as the on-ramp to both the finale of the whole album and as the end of the album's first half. I'd love to see more videos pointing out little echoes like this across Colors if you're up for it.
Hey dude! I'm so excited that I found your channel! I finally made my way through all of your BTBAM content and decided to comment. I actually started a series like 6 years ago called "Why I Love Between the Buried and Me - White Walls." The first few videos were pretty rough but I started to get better at it as I went along. It was definitely the most work I ever put into making any sort of media. "Part 6" of my series talks about this section. I don't think I made all the connections to Sun of Nothing that you made. At the time, I was mostly focused on learning and analyzing White Walls, so I'm sure there's a lot that I missed. I never finished the series, which bums me out from time to time because I already have most the final video's work recorded and script written, but I can't motivate myself to finish. I think it's so cool that Parallax had a similar effect on you as Colors had on me. Colors also made me want to pursue music more seriously and I ended up going to college for music. If I had seen your videos back when I started, I wouldn't have bothered. Your work is great! I'm making my way through the rest of your videos. I don't know if it's worth your time to watch my series, it's long and there's multiple parts, but if you're as much of a nerd as I am, there my be some small nugget that is meaningful to you. Again, the first few are really rough but quality gets better as the series goes along.
...Colors is my favourite album ever. This is basically the best and truest "review" I've ever seen, and the one I'll start showing everyone to let them know WHY Colors is good. (I know I might be stretching it, but are you ever gonna do a single video on all the other themes and riffs that come back in White Walls? It's one of the most fascinating things ever to me)
Bloody hell, I finally get a notification from you that isn't at an ungodly hour and it happens to be when I'm at work and can't watch. Looking forward to watching, though, as I'm certain you've done great work again.
Awesome video. And all that complexity/motify goodness is just in 2 of the instruments. Add all the cool shit in the drums and bass and no wonder it's such a masterpiece album
Thank you for another exquisite video! Btw have you ever thought of shining light on Vildhjarta's writing style, for example the concepts used in "Dimman".
You have my sincere thanks for making these dope videos! I don't have much of a background in music theory, but every time I watch one of your breakdowns, it confirms and clarifies the things that I experience while listening to various metals. I look forward to the next one!
You're awesome man! Really appreciate your approach in explaining all these theories and techniques, it makes alot of sense and has helped me become a better player.
My absolute favorite album of all time! This is the first time I watched your video and already knew how to play the riffs. Great job covering the material 🤘🏻
I loved this video. Like you, I’ve been a huge fan since Colors was released. Brings back great memories of high school. I’ve seen them live around 11-12 times and they are tight as fuck every time. I can’t wait for the new album!!!!
Discovered this channel just a couple weeks ago and absolutely loving everything you're doing. One massive issue I'm having though is that there are no longer any new old videos to binge. If you could use your extensive knowledge of time warping to fast-forward us a year or two of content that would really help out a lot, thanks.
As always great video! I’ve loved BTBAM since silent circus so always nice to see the two of you in the same video haha. Hell if you did nothing but BTBAM covers id be okay with it lol. Keep up the great work!
Thanks as usual for your brilliant breakdown of this! I'll admit that BTBAM has been completely off my radar, for reasons I can't readily articulate. This definitely opened my eyes.
Hell yeah, thanks for all that you're doing. Its been quite a long time since I've picked up an instrument, but this serves as an example of some of the fun I'm missing. Cheers.
Hell Yes After 14 years, and countless hours of study on my own, and you've managed to show me something even I didn't know about Colors. God tier. I've been working up both of these songs on guitar, and I never drew the parallel between the ascending section. I had drawn parallels to the subsequent section, and also the alternating/open power chord shapes in both tracks. Keen insight. How didn't I notice that? Also, the transition into ants is hard as shit. An accelerando combined with subdivision change, into a sudden tempo change, and its 16-note, string skipping sweeps at 160 BPM, great job on learning that section, you killed it! :D Will you be doing one for all the motific repetitions from the rest of the album? Like the repetition from Informal Gluttony throughout white walls, or the intro to the solo chords actually just being the lingering chords from veridian? And you likely know more of these than me :D
Thanks so much! And your comments with ideas helped push me to find stuff that I didn't think you had found haha! And I also found some new stuff just when making this video after thinking I had it all figured out-once you start looking for it, there are quick fragments of that White Walls opening riff absolutely everywhere. Thanks so much!
@@metalmusictheory5401 I wish I could have sat in on their writing sessions for colors... and what I wouldn't give for a Great Misdirect tab book :P Killer video's, super inspirational. I need to go play now!
@@nanthilrodriguez For sure! I don't know if you saw the livestream Colors playthrough they did this summer but they had a Q&A where they went into the ProTools session and answered questions about little specific parts and everything, it was a dream come true!
@@metalmusictheory5401 I have been trying to find that VOD since a week after it happened because I didn't hear about it until later. But who knows if it exists anywhere T_T
This is just awesome man! Not gonna lie, a lot of it goes above my head, but you have made me wiser nonetheless, and it gives your videos higher replay value!
Noice! Keep it coming. You should break down the main riff from Steps by Intronaut. I think I have an idea of what's going on with it but idk no enough to be sure.
Loving your videos dude! Killer analysis. If you could do something on Humanities Last Breath's tempo/metric modulations in the future it would be much appreciated.
BTBAM is one of my all time favourite bands! Great video as always. Maybe an idea for a future video: what do you think about the album Blackjazz by Shining?
I'm v glad to find out you're a BTBAM freak. They've been my fav band since Colors came out and are a huge inspiration to my compositions. I'm quite biased but I feel you should do many more BTBAM videos. Have you produced any more scholarship on them besides the two videos for this channel? I'd love to read/watch And sick playing! I've never even attempted the AotS transition haha
the only channel whose videos I don't play at 1.25x speed.
just do a whole colors analysis ill geek over it my dude, any day
I heartily second this
I know I'm 6 months late, but he could make it 4 hours long and I'd watch the whole thing
Same
Do the whole album nerd!!!
Who cares music is what we should not speak or analysis of you have reversed the psychology of nature aesthetics in music it'd antithesis to philosophical idealism shut your mouth and listen to this schizophrenia junk yeah fir like one month
I had noticed similarities between these songs before and now I know I wasn't just hearing things :D Thank you for breaking down the intricacies!
This album was a masterpiece! In my opinion.
BTBAM is one of my favorite band and i'm happy to see they are one of your favorite too. I've always thought they deserve more popularity. Great video as always, and good job with the transition between SoN and AotS, that sweeping section always got me some trouble :)
Thank you! And it's just too fast! Still pretty messy but I didn't want to spend another two hours trying to nail just that part haha
Never noticed this before, great job. I remember reading an interview where they mentioned that they started writing the album from Ants until the end, and then went back and wrote the first half of the album leading up to Ants.

I'd love to see more videos pointing out little echoes like this across Colors if you're up for it.
The ascending riff has always reminded me of the prechorus in Pull me Under by Dream Theater, I wonder if it was a reference or call back.
there's no way it isn't, i've always thought the same

This album hit me so hard. Got the tab book like a decade ago and it got soaked but I still have it even though it smells super (tomb) moldy.
Your shirt matches your guitar. 10/10.
colors is my favourite album of all time, super stoked to watch this!
Jesus christ dude, this is a really nice analysis
...Colors is my favourite album ever.
This is basically the best and truest "review" I've ever seen, and the one I'll start showing everyone to let them know WHY Colors is good.
(I know I might be stretching it, but are you ever gonna do a single video on all the other themes and riffs that come back in White Walls? It's one of the most fascinating things ever to me)
I will eventually! So much to talk about with Colors!
Bloody hell, I finally get a notification from you that isn't at an ungodly hour and it happens to be when I'm at work and can't watch.
Looking forward to watching, though, as I'm certain you've done great work again.
Haha tried getting this one out earlier!
@@metalmusictheory5401 As long as you upload I shan't be complaining. Great video as always. Yours is one of the best music education channels ever.
Despite i discovered BTBAM just a couple months ago im in love with their music
Also, great video man, you always make my days better :D
Great analysis!
BTBAM fan since ‘04 and I’m still digging into stuff I haven’t noticed before. Those are some magical guys.
Awesome video. And all that complexity/motify goodness is just in 2 of the instruments. Add all the cool shit in the drums and bass and no wonder it's such a masterpiece album
Requesting some Blotted Science (maybe Synaptic Plasticity?). Ron Jarzombek writes the craziest stuff.
Thank you for another exquisite video! Btw have you ever thought of shining light on Vildhjarta's writing style, for example the concepts used in "Dimman".
Thank you! And Vildhjarta video is coming in the very near future!
@@metalmusictheory5401 You are welcomee!!! Thanks again for the great content!
Yes! Vildhjarta has definitely been missing in the world of analysis. Glad to hear that you have one in the pipeline.
Vildhjarta are great!
You have my sincere thanks for making these dope videos! I don't have much of a background in music theory, but every time I watch one of your breakdowns, it confirms and clarifies the things that I experience while listening to various metals. I look forward to the next one!

Love your stuff...would love to see you do a bit on something from Blut Aus Nord ^ ^
thanks for another great lesson sir
Great video. I've Subscribed.
Hell Yes

I love your shirt
Noice! Keep it coming. You should break down the main riff from Steps by Intronaut. I think I have an idea of what's going on with it but idk no enough to be sure.
0:27 theres like a falling down the stairs riff then another one then the big open chord before the solo
HOW DARE U TRICK ME
From memory, Im pretty sure white walls has similar riffs and breakdowns from other parts of the album too
From every other song, in fact!
Loving your videos dude! Killer analysis. If you could do something on Humanities Last Breath's tempo/metric modulations in the future it would be much appreciated.
this video kicks ass
Ever notice that the chunging ascending thing is influenced by the second prechorus from "Pull Me Under" by Dream Theater?
Love these videos!
Maybe you could cover something by maudlin of the well or kayo dot?
BTBAM is one of my all time favourite bands! Great video as always.
Maybe an idea for a future video: what do you think about the album Blackjazz by Shining?

Thanks! And yeah my whole masters thesis is on Parallax II! There's a link to it in the channel description.
@@metalmusictheory5401 I found it, thanks! Gonna check it out tonight
The new Humanity's last breaths album has some really interesting passages that would fit your taste 😁
thats what im talkin about!
Btbam makes things good!
I'm a little late to the party, but I love all your BTBAM content. Any plans to do some analysis on Colors II?
Yes eventually, though it might be a little bit! Trying to gather a bunch of the motives they reuse from Colors I for a video!
Fantastic work, but please consider de-gunking the fretboard on that RG.
Haha I really should, haven't given it a good cleaning in a really long time. Thanks for watching!
YESSSSSSS
damn dude you can shred
It's unfortunate nobody says I'm gonna go listen to self titled or silent circus for the hundred thousandth time 😂
I'll never listen BTBAM in the same way after this :0
When will we see an Uneven Structure analysis?
Sooner rather than later I think!
Any Converge or Dillinger riffs soon?
Dillinger video within the next 5 videos probably!
@@metalmusictheory5401 thank you! 🙏
do you write any original music? just curious.
Yep! floridekstasis.bandcamp.com, got one album and finishing recording another EP which will be out soon-ish
