What's one of your biggest pet peeves about the BTBAM discography?

I'll start: I despise that the music video is the only complete version of The Future Is Behind Us, and that on the album it's abruptly cut off by turbulent. I wished they cut it differently, putting the synth / kick at the end of the song and then hard cutting to turbulent when the full drums come in or something.

Favorite 15+ minute track?

Currently listening to Swim to the Moon by BTBAM sitting in the sauna. Its my personal favorite epic track from them, and one of my favorite lengthy prog tracks of all time. Drop some of yours!

edit: y'all have been killing it with recommendations, gonna take forever to listen to all these but I'm glad I asked!

Just discovered Rolo Tomassi yesterday. Can't believe it took this long.

Not sure if this band gets mentioned much here, I often lurk, but I had to talk about my recent discovery. I got a random Instagram ad for an upcoming tour for the band Rolo Tomassi. I have never heard of them before and I'm so glad i know them now. Usually my Instagram ads are shitty AI bands, so when I get something promoted from a real band I check it out just to see if I like.

I heard the single Tempest from their newest EP and was blown away. Then I put on their 2018 album Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It and was blown away even further. They remind me of a mix of Contortionist (both pre and post Language) Spiritbox, and Dillinger Escape Plan. I'm sure there's a better way to describe them, but this popped into mind.

Really loving The Hollow Hour. This song made me want to post about them the most.

edit: replaced Tesseract with Dillinger Escape Plan as a better comparison.
