      If you want the ultimate saxophone experience checkout Trioscape which has Dan Briggs in bass who is part of Between The Buried And Me and 3 other bands too, the Saxophone player did guest spots on btbam songs too and the drummer is jawsometastic to the max yo! 🤘😎🤘🌷🖤

    I'm seriously shocked that you've never listened to Where Owls Know My Name in it's entirety!? This album takes you on an incredible & magical journey. It's just a masterpiece from start to finish. I'm usually not a death metal guy but after listening to this album for the first time I just had to get a physical copy of it. For sure one of my best purchases ever. Still listen to the album every other week. It's that good.

  • @surtrgio

    I always thought Subtle Change was the standout track of the album that was always underrated/never suggested. You more often than not see people recommend the usual tracks like silent life, a Home or Where owls know my name which in itself are banger.

    My opinion on this song and album has evolved so much since the first time I heard all of it. From a purely technical standpoint, this is the album's high point. Thematically, Hollow is probably my favorite just because of how well it captures the tragedy of the album's story. And from a personal enjoyment stance, Capricorn/Agoratopia is easily my favorite track. I don't dislike a single track, which is kinda rare for me. I'm usually able to find at least one part of an album I straight-up don't like, but this one makes it hard.
