Hey, we haven't had one yet at this forum! Anyways I've been having an obsession with them since I saw them in January. Up to that point I merely revered them.  Anyways, I wouldn't in good conscience be able to vote anything other than Colors, which I still listen to with absolute elation. Your opinions? ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

Even though I chose Colors I find The Silent Circus to be incredibly underrated and only just slightly worse than Colors. I still haven't heard The Great Misdirect though

Fantastic band! My vote will be for The Great Misdirect. I'm usually undecided whether that album or Colors is better, but I listened to TGM the other day and it absolutely blew my mind. -Jeff ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

Lol....BTBAM, at first it sounded like some poser metalcore f*g band. Then it turned out to be some "well I will just try to be weird for the sake of it" band. The first song was alright, then came that godawful 'hoedown' music. I nearly threw my ipod out the window. I decided to keep listening anyway. Last thing I can remember is someone saying in a really lame voice "feed me fear". That was pretty much the deal-breaker for me, unfortunately. This band has talent, they're just dumb composition-wise. PS - Can you add a "No, I dont like them/ I think they suck / ect" option? |

No, because this is an appreciation thread. If you don't like the band, you have the option not to post there. |

Oh, that was never explicitly stated... it should have been titled "BTBAM Appreciators UNITE!" if that were the case.... but I think I am in the minority. |

| I guess I'd be in the minority too for liking Protest the Hero then? For some odd reason, I LOVE his voice... |

Yeah probably... the singer for PTH annoys the sh*t out of me. ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

Agreed. I remember listening to one of their songs and the music was so awesome but then the vocals came on and completely ruined the song.

Have yet to enjoy The Great Misdirect, but I'm pretty sure it's amazing. Right now, I'd have to go for the Silent Circus. Colours might be more mature, focused and whatnot, but I simply enjoy SC more. BtBaM seem to be getting more attention recently. That is most definitely awesome, because I love them.  |

The Great Misdirect is pretty fantastic and Colors is the only other album of theirs I've heard, but so far haven't had time to really dig into it. Seems I really should, but now it's no vote from me. ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

I'm not really a metalcore fan and none of their albums really clicked on me, so no votes here for me. -------------

| Neither am I, except for PTH. I used to be a fan of Spiral Architect but I don't know what they are classified as. Just to say though, I generally prefer clean vocals at this point in my life. |

Despite BTBAM being one of the best metalcore bands that I've heard, they're mediocre compared to Opeth and Orphaned Land, in my opinion. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/group/progressivemetalfans - "Progressive-Metal Fans" Youtube group |

Although I love Kezia, my heart is more with Fortress... |
