Need to part ways with my sheet happens collection.
Alaska, Colors, Great Misdirect, Paralax I and II and Colors II, all pretty much unused new condition.
Hoping to sell as a lot. $100+shipping obo, only in the continental US. DM with questions
Is it just me or is it strange the boys haven't done a mr bungle cover? Imo Retrovertigo or really anything from California would be great performed by btbam. Is it too nail on the head to make it their own unique sound maybe?
Had this vinyl for years without a turntable. Wanted something with some charm/meaning, Dad gave me his vintage/retro turntable recently.
FYI setup is turntable into a cheapo Pyre pre-amp into aux port of Marshall Bluetooth speaker. Nothing special but special to me. This album will never get old.

THE band before BTBAM, with Paul, Will Goodyear, and Tommy (who joined after this album)
A pillar in the history of metalcore
So begins the dawn of our invincibility…
Climb Bentonville in Northwest Arkansas
Almost a year from the release date and this is easily my least favorite album, but I see so much praise for it. Am I just not getting it?
Maybe the best discography in Metal.
Some notes: Self-Titled and the Silent Circus are the original Victory Records variants. I picked them up at vintage vinyl in NJ (RIP) in like 2008. Alaska, Colors and The Great Misdirect are the 2020 remixes. I’d love to get the self titled 2020 remix but I think they botched The Silent Circus remix with what they did to the drum snare, so I don’t want to spend money on it but might eventually.
The Colors_Live is the 2014 version with mismatched colors, limited to 113. Another random vintage vinyl find.
I was so so lucky to have the band sign my copy of “Parallax II: Future Sequence” when I got to see them play the album in its entirety at Fun, Fun, Fun fest in Texas circa 2012.
The album that has grown on me the most is Coma Ecliptic, as my own musical takes expanded. The live version is an other worldly experience.
Colors has been my number 1 since 2007 but I’m starting to think the Parallax story is their opus.
Finally, I am a vocal supporter of The Silent Circus. That was a life changing record for me in 2004 as a young kid. FINALLY FINALLY. When are we getting a vinyl release for the live Parallax 2 album?!?!
My official ranking below. The difference and distance between Parallax and The Silent Circus for me is SLIM. They’re an incredibly hard band for me to rank as I love every album they’ve ever released. The creative run they went on from 2002-2015 is a creative peak only matched in my mind by the likes of Opeth, King Crimson, Miles Davis and Blut Aus Nord.
Parallax 1-2
Colors
The Great Misdirect
Colors 2
Alaska
Coma Ecliptic
The Silent Circus
Self-Titled
The Blue Nowhere (this is more a placeholder, I always need 2-3 years with a BTBAM album before I have a grasp on where I rank it.)
Automata 1 & 2 (should have never been released separately. I still dig it, someone just had to be last.
Hey BTBAM crew, I have the story book they made back when Future Sequence came out and think it can go to a good home for another passionate fan. Happy to talk price just message me :)
Are the remasters that much different than the originals? Are their certain companies' pressings that are superior?
Slept on this song (whole album, really), forgot all about it. Underrated? Rated well?
I can't make a poll but I'd ask which is your favorite:
- carnival / circus (glide, the primer, most 3/4 or 5/4 stuff they make, accordion, etc)
- western or southern (disease, desert, absent thereafter) (augment, ants, fix the error intro)
- beach (spots in SttM, HiH, bloom)
- egypt maybe (yellow eyes solo kinda, informal gluttony)
Or something else - probably missing stuff but will be cool to see where they stack and expand their theatrics.
How did they let this fly? Insert :look what they did to my boy: meme
