    Metal Blade Records present Between the Buried and Me "Coma Ecliptic: Live". The concert, which features the band performing "Coma Ecliptic" in its entirety, was filmed live on location October 4th, 2017 at The Observatory North Park in San Diego, CA. Bassist Dan Briggs comments: "The genesis of the Coma Ecliptic filming was based around capturing the look and feel of the show our lighting director Chris Hill produced for the full album set. It's such an important record for us and our progression as a band and the visual representation captures the moods of our tragic tale so well. It's the perfect way to wrap up the last two years we've been living with this album day in and day out!"

      This remains the only BTBAM album I haven't loved whole heartedly since they started their roll with Colors, and I can't figure out why. It's always been at a reserve from me for some reason, as much as I can appreciate the skill that went into it.

      It seems like I see that a TON when BTBAM fans talk about this album. I don't get it. I fell in love almost instantly. Arguably my favorite album of theirs, and one of my favorite albums of all time.

    • @rafaelmenezes1806
      @rafaelmenezes1806 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      @@disco4535 I guess the main complaint from older fans was the lack (or rather diminished amount) of harsh vocals. I undersand the complaint if the thing you love the most out of BTBAM are Tommy's harsh vocals, but this album gives you so much more. I mean, it has everything you love about BTBAM -- nasty breakdowns, Blake's tremendous blasbeats and lushous drum fills, tasty guitar lines and Dan's all-encompassing bass tone -- and it gives Tommy the freedom to explore more his vocal range. In my opinion, the cleans don't take away from the harsh vocals, instead, they only make them more rewarding and impactful because of the contrast. This was my gateway album to BTBAM so I'm biased, but I just love this album more each time I listen to it.

      I don't think I truly appreciated this album when I first listened to it. Now I am on a kick and I can't stop listening to it. I'd like to revisit Parallax I and II while I'm at it. I pretty much have S/T, Silent Circus, Alaska, and Colors memorized at this point. I'm still not too familiar with Automata I and II yet although I'm getting there.

      I agree with the funeral theme of yr last comment, but I would recommend Tomahawk (with Mike Patton, Duane Denson of The Jesus Lizard, John Stanier of Helmet!! and ex-Melvins bass player Kevin Rutmanis). Saw them@ the House of Blues Anaheim during the Mit Gas tour...technically every bit as clean as the album, plus M. Patton tweaking knows & dials & synths while singing amazingly, never missing a note or cutting a word off due to running out of air or a tough note to hit & sustain. SUPER-professional. And just freakishly flawless--not fair to the audience, because when you see a flawless or even near-flawless performance you can't help but wonder why your other favorite acts can't do that, even when they may be technically more proficient than, say, Tomahawk's instrumentalists.

    Since I'm bored and stuck in doors. I would like to offer a few observations after watching yet another jaw dropping performance by the best band on the planet. Don't worry. It's long but I have a good point to make.
    Before BtBaM I was a huge fan of Opeth. (Still am. Saw them with Devin Townsend and Gojira a couple years ago. Fan-fucking-tastic show)
    They basically tried to do the same thing. Switching between genres. Switching up clean vocals with death metal vocals. Blackwater Park is still one of my favorite albums of all time. Deliverance too. But then Opeth started getting mixed signals from the fans. They were attracting two different kinds of fans who liked them equally but not all at once. Something I observed early on at live shows.
    In 2003 Opeth puts out Damnation and really stirs the pot. All clean tone. All clean vocals. I think it's a great album but it split the fan base down the middle.
    Then they release Ghost Reveries which is probably one of their best albums. It was a return to formula but the damage had been done. There are some sensitive fucking metal heads out there.
    Even I was a bit sceptacal they would ever release another Blackwater Park. Which is why by the time they released Watershed, I didn't even know it came out. Opeth was off my radar. Aside from listening to everything from Orchid to Blackwater and sometimes Watershed I didn't really keep track.
    Before Damnation they released an album every single year. Ghost Reveries took 2 years and I think Watershed took 2 or 3 as well.
    The rest of my knowledge (up until a couple years ago) comes from Wikipedia because like I said. "Off radar" Friends weren't really interested. Other bands were coming onto the scene. Yada-fucking-yada.
    Between 2011 and 2016 they release Heritage, Pale Communion & Sorceress. I didn't know what had happened but they changed completely and finally picked a genre they fucking excelled at. Old school progressive rock.
    The first album I heard that pulled me back in was Pale Communion. It took me totally off guard. It was heavy and progressive but old school and deep. All clean vocals. I thought it was great but I was very confused. Where was my Blackwater Park II?
    I go back listen to Heritage, same thing. Sorceress, same thing. Now they have a new album. Same formula. Same thing. Fucking great. And here is the thing. You can still tell it's Opeth. One forum I was on asked the question. Are you just fans of Metal or are you fans of Opeth?
    I was a fan of Opeth... and metal. Blackwater Park already exists. Why was I trying to put pressure on them to make another one? They had evolved. And I was so fucking happy for them.
    By the time I saw them live with this new format I was fully committed again and they fucking blew every single person away at that show. No more split fan base. Fans of Opeth were fans of Opeth. Not Clean Opeth or heavy Opeth. Just Opeth. And they still play a lot of heavy shit live too. And it fits in great with the new shit.
    This has happened to other bands who haven't faired too well on the other side. Mastodon, Gojira, Metallica even
    Opeth came out better than ever and I actually prefer the new stuff now. I post this here for people to get a true perspective on BtBaM. These guys probably should have gone down a similar path. But they haven't. They have never split their fan base. They have only gotten better. And they really didn't even need to.
    That is why I think this band is the greatest band on the planet. Because I don't want Colors II. Never even crossed my mind. They have consistently kept me satisfied with the amount of content and growth they have achieved. And that is beyond amazing. These guys are an enigma and I can't wait to see what comes next.

    • @LudaChez
      @LudaChez 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't know Opeth.
      But Mastodon changed once Hinds got hit in the head (by shavo I think?) And he was knocked out. When he was he claims he saw shit and didn't want to be heavy anymore.
      But BTBAM have just always mixed everything so well. You can see they arent the angry screamo band. Colors set them apart. White Walls is actually about writing the album and being different and thinking people would hate it. They were trapped inside cause of the weather. Since then they have stayed heavy but mixed is so many genre styles. Hell Ants of the Sky has a Hoedown. They definitely give you something for everyone. Hard as fuck, screaming, clean vocals. They all play their parts so well. Tommy is a monster singer and showman. And he doesn't let his side project interfer (though Dim Ignition does but it's great). And man do they know how to end an album. Option Oblivion and Life in Velvet together is insane. Silent Flight Parliament/ Goodbye to everything. White Walls. Swim to the moon. Blot.
      I legit get sad thinking they may hang it up soon enough. We are all getting older.

      This is amazing. Finally somebody who understands why I love newer BTBAM so much better than older BTBAM. I honestly don’t care much for Colors. Then again, Coma Ecliptic was my introduction to them, so maybe that’s partly why I gravitate towards their newer stuff. (I’m late to the party, I know.) But Automatia 1 and 2 were incredible, and I just recently went back and listened to the Parallax II. I suppose that’s considered an older album now, but not as old as “old” BTBAM. Also.. the one and only Opeth album I’ve listened to all the way through was Pale Communication, funny enough. Knocked my socks off. I’d never heard anything like that before. Is it even worth my time going back to old Opeth? 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

      Parallax is absolutely a masterpiece. Great Misdirect is lower on the list for me though. Colors held a top spot for a long time and I can still go back to it without feeling burned out.
      I think one reason this album in particular is so amazing to me is that they ALREADY put out some of the greatest Music I'd ever heard. Then they did it again. And I saw them on this tour which pushed me over the top as far as the newer stuff goes. They seem be way more energetic playing a lot of this newer stuff (which is understandable as I'm sure they've most definitely gotten burnt out on Colors-era stuff)
      They have something for everyone though. Either way you cut it, you're still listening to (imo and most likely) the greatest band of the last 20 years.
