👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
Thank you all for the great comments - it's making my recovery painless reading them all🔥BTBAM is a hell-of-a-journey 🔥AWWWRIGHT!!
Feel better brotha!
@@MASoldier4221 thanks, Victor!
I don’t think this band will ever disappoint. Hope you feel better Amigo! BTBAM will never disappoint. I think you are ready for some more Dillinger Escape Plan - I recommend anything off the Miss Machine album…….and then 43% Burnt. Side note - The track Mona Lisa is probably the best track to get a little bit of all they did in one song.
@@fortyfive4632 I have to second the "Farewell Mona Lisa" shout. Amazing track.
He's never done DEP? Oh man, he would be in for a treat.
Dude, Between the Buried and Me is made for you, trust me. And it's perfect for this channel. I cannot recommend to see them live enough. I'll literally buy you tickets
He would love them live
I lived in Hawaii for several years. Everything about it is fantastic, except that very few bands tour there.
100% agree, one of the few bands i've seen that actually feel tighter live than on record. Hands down my all time favorite band and they will probably always be for the rest of my life
@@xamphibiax The thought of Meshuggah in Hawaii is so funny to me for some reason.
Got into them from somewhat randomly buying Colors Live and have seen them live twice, they are so worth seeing.
Best band out there. These guys are phenomenal.
They're true greatness wont be fully realized for decades.
I second that emotion
The amount of content you can make from BTBAM is astronomical. They are gods among men.
You can probably pick any BTBAM song and have a similar experience. They're all phenomenal but "White Walls" and "Swim to the Moon" are them at their absolute best.
Agreed. I wish he would do a couple songs at a time, or maybe the entire Colors album at once. That would be amazing.
They certainly know how to end an album with those songs
Swim to the Moon, absolutely. This album is my favorite of theirs, they go above and beyond on every single track. So much frigging character
I saw them live and they played tgm album, then did white walls as their encore. I’ve never been more happy hearing swim to the moon the white walls back to back
I saw them for the first time right after TGM came out. I’ll never forget it. My friend and I to this day laugh about how they said “we only have time for one more” then played Swim to the Moon and encored with White Walls.
This album was originally released with a surround sound mix as a second disc. I listened to it in a movie theater that my friend worked at one evening….. life changing.
Wow! Shut tha front door! I would have loved to experience such a auditory explosion in that way with an incredible masterpiece of a song by BTBAM, Consider yourself lucky aaron. Very cool indeed 😎🤘🤘
Every band should do that! That sounds really cool!
BTBAM are so good that I wouldn't even care if you featured exclusively just their discography on your channel lol
That would still be enough content for a few weeks lol
Seriously
The bassist Dan Briggs is legendary, his other bands to check out are Nova Collective and Trioscapes (fusion), ORBS (experimental prog rock), and Nightmare Scenario (solo experimental)
Yes PLEASE do Nova Collective you would LOVE LOVE LOVE it so much
Yo how is this comment a month old?
@@sleepymetalhead7536 I would guess it was unlisted and Patrons had a direct link, then was listed publicly on the channel today?
Played a show with orbs and to me it was insane, super small venue here in Baltimore and Dan was super friendly
ORBS is such a unique vibe
Best things in life:
1. BTBAM
2. Watching Geebz reacting to BTBAM
The Great Misdirect is a god tier album.
Let's push for a Swim to the Moon analysis!
BTBAM is a god tier band
@@DStrick2008fck yes they are
Colors, Parallax (album + EP), Misdirect, Colors II are god tier in my humble opinion.
saw them play the whole album live in detroit, and then encored with more of myself to kill, and i got nearly killed when "that part" happened. one of my favorite live shows i've ever been too. third time seeing them, coolest part was we ran into them in the bowling alley next door before the show, super chill guys and got to talk to paul about guitars. lineup was sick, if i remember right it was scale the summit, cynic, devin townsend and then btbam.
Glad to see 'The Great Missdirect' get some love. The only thing "negative" ever about the album is that it was cursed to follow up 'Colors'. I remember at the time it came out all anyone ever said was "not as good as Colors", meanwhile people like me were jamming the album on repeat anyway because it was great regardless.
My favorite record
@@shaylah7389 I'm right there with you. I still absolutely adore Colors as it's what got me into heavy proggy music in the first place, but there's just something special about TGM for me.
Definitely agree. TGM is a fantastic album. It was, at least IMO, when they really started to figure out their sound and tie it into the concepts/stories they tell. Colors is obviously a fantastic album, but yeah, I agree, TGM gets left in the dust sometimes.
This is the record that made me love them. It felt like they had fully realized what they had with this particular lineup. Alaska and Colors, while still great records, sound in retrospect to be searching for something they knew they had in them, but needed to further cultivate, at least to my ears.
@@ghostrobot3714 Couldn't have said it better, I think TGM is a massive improvement in terms of songwriting in their discography. Colors is amazing, but with TGM they really learned to write more cohesive and digestible songs, while maintaining the high level of complexity of their song structures and arrangements. TGM is a brilliant album.
Man, you really set the standard for "reaction" videos. I hesitate to even call it that, almost more "analysis" than anything. Most other reactors are limited to "wow that was awesome" or "this part is cool I like that part". You're next level dude
I appreciate that!
Thank you for continuing to do btbam, always a really cool dissection and perspective. Please keep doing them, their discography is very deep. Some really good ones on their new album you haven’t done yet too.
Human As Hell and Bad Habits are two of my faves on the new record
@@kevinscala4303 love those songs too. Can really listen to the whole album start to finish and never get tired of it. The Candiria style breakdown in the middle of never seen/future shock is a nice treat, and the future is behind us feels like a guilty pleasure lol.
I would 10,000% recommend doing a full album listen through. One video at a time, or just all in one video. Their albums are like, if you broke up a long orchestral piece into individual tracks. They even bring back and reference pieces from prior albums in New and meaningful ways. Love them.
Absolutely. If he ever does a full album reaction, this is the one.
It is very fitting to compare this to older prog rock because aside from being heavily influenced by them (see their cover of King Crimson "3 of a Perfect Pair"), they also wrote this album as a full concept and story. The drastic swings in heavy to melodic and back are in keeping with the story line. This is the album that sold me on BTBAM and I absolutely loved seeing this bass solo live.
This album is more like 4 big contained songs with each having their own story. There's no recurring melodies or structures like in Colors or Parallax.
Swim to the Moon next? (it ends this album, but the theme of that piece actually begins their parallax albums theme) They're fun man and its a blast to hear your take on them. This bands Live Colors album literally made me pick up my brothers washburn afterwards, so that's gotta count for something.
"I play a little bass... enough to make me dangerous"
I'm stealing this line
Joined Patreon just for this video! Looking forward to more in the future, greatest progressive metal band of all time!
Can't wait for the Swim to the Moon reaction. I'm sure the BTFAM will get it on here
I see what you did there 😆
A true BTFAN
These guys are in my top 3 bands of all time. They sound even more amazing live. Please checkout Extremophile Elite (Live at the Fidelitorium). I've requested it multiple times so I would say it is already on your spreadsheet. Glad your back at it and feeling better! Hope you continue to recover quickly!
Ya gotta do Swim to the Moon by Between the Buried and Me, the last song off this album. It's such a masterpiece and is a hell of a journey
Fossil Genera would be nice as well
@@scottgillespie3838 I thought so too. He could be a part of the sweet candy populace
Swim to the Moon is my favorite, but I think he would really like Fossil. It has all of the classic BTBAM stuff, but is somehow a bit more structured than normal. I can see him digging the swing section transitions into the heavy groove for sure.
@@derikkincaid155 This is why I would like to see him do Voice of Trespass.
This whole album is great
Between The Buried And Me are such an incredible band. I have followed them for practically my entire adult life and have seen them live over a dozen times. My favorite song has to be a track called Lunar Wilderness and it never gets the massive love it deserves. I would HIGHLY recommend it.
Mirrors & Obfuscation or Swim To The Moon would also be great from this album.
Thank you for doing my absolute favorite band. I can never get enough of those guys. I hope you do Bad Habits by them
Please do bad habits. Awwwwwwwright
One day, when you don't risk spoiling your own potential content, you have to give a btbam album a listen through in one sitting. The songs are great on their own but even more impressive in the context of the whole record, at least from colors on.
Saw them play whole album live back in August..def in my top 10 concerts I've been to
I was at the Worcester MA show in August and it was incredible.
Glad to see you glamming on the bass after the first section. In the OG mix the bass got lost a little bit but in the 2019 remix/remaster it's a lot more pronounced
Some more awesome BtBaM tracks:
- Extremophile Elite
- The Ectopic Stroll
- Bicycle Race (cover)
You can also try Protest the Hero, I'd say it's a bit lighter BtBaM variant :) Recommended tracks from them:
- Hair-trigger
- C'est la Vie
- Sequoia Throne
- The Canary
Did you miss the horse "neigh" sound effect at the 12:50 mark?!😂 it blends in so well it can be easy to miss! I would love to know how they stumbled upon that idea
it always reminds me of a steve vai song i heard as a kid... love it
@@kylevining9070 you're probably thinking of "Bad Horsie"
I've been listening to this album since it was released and I never caught that. TIL! Thanks!
That horse whinny is one of the many little details that make this my favorite BTBAM release
Makes me want to play Age Of Empire every time 😅
This album is my favourite from BTBAM, and the song after this one (Fossil Genera) is my favourite song. But I agree with others the next song should be Bad Habits!
best album TGM best song fossil genera fucking master race dude
I agree with Bad Habits! I have been suggesting it for weeks now and he did like the comment once so maybe it's already on the list!
My brain has an itch to listen to Fossil Genera after this video.
Agree. Love the big epic chorus in fossil genera. That and the "floating towards the sun" part in sun of nothing are so beautiful.
I knew of BTBAM as a band but only a couple songs. Enough to know that they would put on one helluva show. Saw them live last year where they played two sets: the first was career-spanding and the second was The Great Misdirect in its entirety. Since then I have been hooked and The Great Misdirect is absolutely my favorite album from them. The journey it takes me on is like no other.
Super excited for this one. 🤙 Alohaaa
Edit: Yep, nailed it with the “journey” mindset comment. If most albums are like TV (separate episodes), BTBAM’s are full-on movies - best listened to from start to finish.
There are so many banger btbam tracks, you can go on doing their discography for a long time. my favorite is silent flight parliament
I can listen to you decompose music E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y! Especially music from BTBAM. Please don’t ever stop doing what you do. These videos are my 15-25 minutes of daily therapy. Thank you, Geebz!
I couldn't agree more. Geebz you are the best reactor out there. More BTBAM please.
Hey Geebs! Not sure if anyone said so yet but the fading swells you mentioned were done by the guitarist with a volume pedal or the volume knob on the guitar itself. Hit note and then increase and decrease volume to let it fade in an out. Thank you so much for giving this band the attention they deserve. My favorite band!
These guys make the most incredible music and it honestly feeds my soul. Watching your reactions to the different phrases of their songs and the techniques they use really brings a smile to my face.
Speaking of a journey through genres and time, you should listen to "Swim to the Moon" from this same album. It will blow your mind
Aloha brother
My favorite album finale ever.
Everything I love about the ability to combine virtuosity and incredible composition in one song. Huge fan of BTBAM
Geebz, you should live stream your whole reaction to Colors II, the new Between the Buried and Me album. 12 songs, 1 hr and 18 minutes. They compose their music so well that you should listen to the whole album as one experience.
I've really enjoyed watching your videos, hearing your input, and helping me see a new perspective on the music that I've loved for years.
Fantastic vid man, BTBAM have a live vid of them playing Extremophile Elite in a studio and it's epic. I suggest that next.
Still here for the rambling, Geebz. Don't apologize for it!
Watching them play this live is really something special.
Whoever’s suggesting these btbam tracks to Geeb, we gotta get him to listen to Backwards Marathon
YES!
Yes!
It's hard for me to pick a favorite BTBAM song, but this is definitely a contender (along with Ants of the Sky, Sun of Nothing, and Fossil Genera)
My favorite BTBAM album. Brilliant.
yeah! 10+ minute song from BTBAM!
I love your videos and how you breakdown how it even causes specific emotional reactions. My dad was a huge Kansas, Yes, and Rush fan and when I listen to BTBAM it reminds me of him so much. Much Love
Btbam is tied for my #1 favorite I always love seeing you discuss them keep it up
I cant explain how excited I get when I see BTBAM show up on your page! definitely one band I have asked for every chance I get. I love the journey you're taking, all their albums are masterpieces. but i cannot wait for you to dive into their newest album Colors II, check out Prehistory! love you channel.
Thanks for dissecting more from BTBAM! Swim to the Moon is an awesome song to catch. Also Dan Briggs side band Trioscapes would be a fun band to look into! You rock Geebz!
Love it when you listen to these guys
Seriously, I love your videos soooo much. You have so much knowledge about your soundtrack of life. It is such a pleasure to listen to you talk ^^
Glad you enjoy it!
Bad Habits or Never Seen/Future Shock would be really good!
Would love to see you go through the entire parallax series from BTBAM. The songs to the story spans from a few songs from each album starting from the silent circus and ends with the albums the parallax 1 and 2. They even had a book once upon a time that had the vocalists notes on the storyline and stuff and had entire explanations on what's happening in that particular song
I was never a fan of reaction videos until I saw one of Jinjer...along the way I found you and have loved every video. Especially BTBAM! love this album
I just like watching you enjoy as you go through BTBAM journey. Its a real treat. Cheers.
Oh man, anytime you do a BTBAM reaction I get SO happy. I've seen them live at least 12 or 13 times. They are INCREDIBLE live.
The nervous “I think I need to mosh” hands really set the tone of this video.
YESS wow you chose Ants of the Sky and now this, both from BTBAM's prime between '05-'09 i have no more requests!
FINALLY! More BTBAM!!
Hey Geebz love your stuff, BTBAM has a cover album where they take their influences and cover a song from each of them you should give it a look I think you might be surprised at the tracks you recognise on there
Why is this video unlisted? It deserves waaaaaaaay more than 52 views.
RIGHT
This band does more different things in one song than many do on an entire album. Amazing band. They have an entire set live in a studio setting on TH-cam that is just jaw dropping. Hearing it is one thing but actually watching it ..,
Thank you Geebz
Love your videos man.
Please please please cover the band Thrice; song is called “stare at the sun”.
Thank you!
That’s why it’s called disease, the intro fits the movement perfectly, Injury is sad, madness is like a ends justify the means essentialist utopia.
BTBAM is one of my biggest inspirations as a musician! Listening to Geebz react totally warms my heart.
Always warms my heart to watch people who aren't familiar with a BTBAM song but enjoy musicianship listen to a song for the first time. The following song on this album is incredible and would be awesome to feature. Fossil Genera: A Feed from Cloud Mountain
Great reaction, great band, great song. :)
Goddamn I love BTBAM. I tune my guitars to C# standard because of them and they are by far my biggest influence.
Bro, Swim to the Moon! I know it's like 17 mins, but there's a very good reason so many folks have recommended it. You won't be sorry!
Holy smokes! What a pick! Great review!
Ah, yes my favorite BTBAM album, the one where I really fell in love with their music. The quiet parts in this song are among the best stuff they have ever written in my opinion. So cool you gave this a shot :)
Zappa and BTBAM back to back. Awesome
Edit: Also, Dan Briggs is a god-tier bassist.
Thank you for analyzing BTBAM, and in particularly this track! I love your videos!
Glad you enjoy it!
This was already one of my favorite tracks ever, but seeing this in August 2021 when they played the entire album live was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was electric (for many of us there it was our first live music in over a year and half so that’s probably part of it) but they came out and put on a really freaking great show and this track was a highlight.
This album is one of my favorites ever recorded. The composition and musicianship is unparalleled.
Since I know you can't stop here - the end of colors is amazing, I thinks.its viridian and white walls. I'd recommend doing them both; some phrasing of viridian comes back at the end
this is such a good song to breakdown by them!!
You have one of the chilliest personalities and just overall enjoyable channel on the Net. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
One of the things I love about this band is that you can hear obvious influences but they take it and make it completely their own. Half of the time, I hear that clashing yet synchronized guitar riffs that is a dead giveaway for King Crimson but it's always done in an unexpected way.
And the mashup of genres is so much fun! I would highly suggest the song "Fix the Error" from their latest album. It's basically a metal song with punk rock lyrics and big gospel energy. Such a treat!
Seeing them play this live last September was some of the funnest shit being a part of the crowd.
They've made so many great albums! I know the vocals can be hit or miss for people who don't like this style but these guys make some top tier music. Highly recommend the Colors albums
I saw these guys live a few months back and they played this entire album live, best night of my life. I recommend this album and Colors, Colors ii, and honestly anything from their discography is prog asf and HEAVY ASF. This was a beautiful video sir thanks for letting me experience this gnarly song w ya
One of my personal favorite bands. They can do it all! Great tune. Respect.
That clean vocal section around 6:30-7:00 sounds like something Porcupine Tree would do. I love the variety you get with BTBAM. check out Voice Of Trespass from them. I know it's not the most requested song, but I love it.
he listened to that one on his own time, not as a reaction video (said so in a comment on Patreon)
@@Penz0id ah ok
I really love when you help me put into words something that I can't explain
So happy to see my fave YTer collide with my favourite band again.
His face @12:38 though. This is a justice having Geebz listen to anything BTBAM. Bad Habits is definitely good, anything else on TGM, or Viridian and White Walls (they need to be listened to together if you're reading this).
My best friend and I talk about how if some of this stuff had come out when we were in highschool etc.. it would blow everything else out of the water. you didn't hear this level of musicianship done this way. Thank you for the insight. This is one of my Favorite songs from BTBAM. you gotta check them out live if you ever get the chance.
They have an animal noise on every album, the horse in this one is my favorite.
Speaking of theatre of the mind, this song was the beginning of a epic story in my mind connecting the lyrics of all music.
I genuinely hope you get to listen to that whole album in sequence on your own time! It's all one continuous journey! Awesome videos man, love your vibe.
Future sequence?! LOL had to, had to...
Dude you're killing it with the classic prog/math bands. Keep up the great content.
If I had one band to tell someone like yourself to check out, it would be The Black Dahlia Murder. The song I would recommend is - I will return. They're one of the greatest melodic deathmetal bands of all time in my opinion. They've had a ton of member changes over the 15+years they've been doing it but the Vocalist and Rhythm have stayed the same. Big ups from Canada.
I love how you do these. A long time lover of BTBAM, you take me deeper. Keep this up, dear one!
Killer track. This album was my first exposure to BTBAM, and while it's not maybe as highly regarded as Colors, it's still an incredible journey.
I always felt that this album was underrated, or maybe slightly overshadowed by the albums before and after. On tour last year they played this entire album front to back as a second set every night. I went 2 nights in a row and it was incredible. I always forget about this song somehow and it's just incredible. The whole prog solo section with the organ, the bass solo.. that guitar harmony section makes me want to cry it's so good haha
You know I jammed out to this, and showed all my musician friends. If I had to comment on 100+ of your videos to get you to take this band serious, I would. I'm glad it only took 15-25. 🤘👌
YES btbam. I need more songs. Ants in the sky, White walls! Please!!💕🤠😁🤙
I will watch any of your videos when you listen to BTBAM. The intro to this song is a hard listen to someone not familiar with their material but it is such a solid composition. Thank you for bringing this to more people.
Definitely check out Swim to the Moon when you get a chance.
I enjoy these videos so much. And seeing you enjoy BTBAM is great to watch. Best band in the world! Please do more of their material in the future! Hope you’re getting better!
