Pretty much anything involving Toby Driver.

Logan Sanchez
t. tool is prog meme
Gabriel Bell
I’ll agree on 3/4 of their albums, aenima is good tho
Connor Myers
Aiden Thompson
...
Ryan Anderson
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Noah Diaz
my absolute dude
why this one? I love btbam but this was fairly unimpressive to me
Hudson Sanchez
the best
Camden Brown
I felt it was more prog then their other stuff, also I prefer Tommy’s smooth vocals in this album
Angel Hughes
...
Gabriel Moore
Ethan Allen
huh I liked it less probably because it sounded like Tommy's solo material was getting too blended in with btbam's sound, where I prefer the spastic and visceral metalcore sound of their older outputs.
Landon Rogers
>you ever drink bailey's out of a shoe?
Camden Baker
...
Jayden Murphy
Yea I get that, I only started listening to them with Parallax 2, so I didn’t get attached to their original sound very much
Andrew Long
...
Nicholas Green
No one ever mentions that album but I love it.
Also, Pic related.
Cooper Jenkins
...
Dylan Phillips
Yeah that extreme album is incredible, it never gets enough love. Waiting for the punchline is good but I wish they would be stuck with the progressive kick they got into on III Sides
Daniel Miller
...
Wyatt Gutierrez
...
Noah Collins
Is it strange that I like James Labrie but can't stand Geoff Tate? For some reason I've always seen queensryche as a poor man's dream theater even though they preceded them.
Eli Price
Basically anything with Portnoy
Henry Ramirez
Eh up to a certain point id say so, his latest efforts seem to be pretty derivative and really just a watered down "portnoy style and fill" fest with nothing too crazy or new. Sons of Apollo is decent, Derek sherinian and bumblefoot are great but I hope they get better on the second album.
Angel Evans
...
Tyler Foster
Yea psychotic symphony was a tad bit disappointing imho
Cameron Davis
...
Kevin Harris
The synths are tight as hell and theres some great moments but it was pretty underwhelming.
Ayden Lewis
Gretchen goes to nebraska is proggier but the production and tones on this album are killer
Luke Butler
Shit a chance to talk about Haken.
Aquarius is my favorite though, the story just resonates with me more than Visions did, which I am somewhat still trying to find out what all happened in between.
Even with Aquarius I had gotten the ending wrong at first but once I realized what had happened it just made it that much more special to me.
Jack Rodriguez
I really enjoy the sound and aesthetic of 1985
Ian Rodriguez
...
Jaxson Hernandez
Yea I love Aquarius, I personally like the sound and story of visions more, but Aquarius is awesome as well. I’d say simply musically i like the mountain the most
Joseph Nguyen
Yes
Robert Howard
...
Alexander Martin
BTBAM has like 6 albums that are better than this one though
Carson Gomez

James Ward

Blake Reed
Nice man. This and kezia are 10/10s, couldn't get into as scurrilous as much but volitions great as well
Charles Cruz
goatest
Parker Morales
Agreed. Although I quite liked Scurrilous, I understand the criticism it gets. Volition was probably a step up in terms of songwriting, and I enjoyed it, but for some reason I don't go back to it as often. Their material kinda took a hit when their bassist stopped writing the lyrics. Sucks to see the original lineup didn't stay together forever
Colton Kelly
yeah arif was a huge part of the sound, shame he didn't stay on.
Jose Brooks
Agreed.
Not strange at all.
Isaiah Brooks

Owen Lewis

Dominic Reed
god damn all this btbam and no one even posts their best album
Tyler Nelson
That recent EP of theirs was honestly the worst thing they've ever done. I'm worried about their future. Next album might be a make or break for me.
Liam Rogers
...
Hudson King
thanks, I was literally gonna do the same thing. How are their two arguably worst albums posted?
Nolan Ward
...
Michael Ramirez
>says the guy posting the TGM
Luis Myers
I'd put a few of their releases above TGM, but it's definitely far better than Parallax 2 and Coma Ecliptic.
Their Parallax EP is arguably the best thing they've done since Colors.
Aiden White
...
Parker Anderson
Their newer shit is way more prog tho, and I like coma the most bc I don’t like 99 percent screaming unless the instrumentals are godly (Parallax)
David Phillips
>Parallax EP
even the band agrees that is on of their weakest outputs
Ryan Williams
The albums with Daniel Tompkins are better imo. But they've got a great sound.
Owen Cruz
source? I thought it was incredible and if it were a full length album it would be debatabley better than Colors. Sucks that Parallax 2 was such a disappointing follow up.
Leo Phillips
Yes! Sherinian is such a groovy player
Christian Reed
Their early material is godlike in its own right
This honestly is some of the best proto-prog deathcore and I beg that you listen to this atleast till you get to the end of Naked by the Computer
Josiah Bailey
Even tho their new album is meh
Henry Price
>all these posts and no riverside yet
Easton Allen
Dan said they just pushed out that material as fast as possible once they switched from Victory Records to Metal Blade. IMO Parallax 2 is my fav out of their entire discography and I do love everything they have put out just Parallax 1 you can tell was forced
David Young
...
David Gray
...
Robert Brooks
...
Aiden Perez
shit that was supposed to be their selftitled album
Angel Williams
It’s lit
Isaac Ramirez
The Mountain > Visions > Aquarius > Affinity
Nathan Martin
Comfy thread is comfy
Brayden Ramirez
Imho visions and the mountain are interchangeable but dead on man
Hunter Allen
>SJW metal
>Piotr will never come back
Easton Howard
>tfw I like affinity
Colton Lee
Interesting. I think they captured lightning in a bottle with that EP. Colors, TGM, and Parallax EP all felt like they stood on their own and felt refreshing in comparison to the material that came before, but Parallax 2 just felt like more of the same from them. Almost like a Colors2.0, which is something they were always vocal about avoiding.
Caleb Stewart
This album is amazing, one of my personal 10/10s
Eli Green
...
Michael Wright
Just because it’s the worst Haken album doesn’t mean it’s a bad album, I love it still
Cooper Cox
I do think they went a little overboard with the politics on their later material, but Fortress and Kezia were far from SJW metal.
Isaac Murphy
Yeah, I like it, but it's a step down from their previous output
James Green
Ah, was waiting for this. Would've gone with focus myself
Thomas Ross
This should have been posted so much earlier in the thread :/
John Roberts
Affinity is one of my favorites of theirs, mostly because I really like the 80's prog vibe that most prog revival bands stay away from which IS BULLSHIT
Brandon Reyes
Echostar's EP was pretty fucking dope too
Camden Clark
> tfw no one has posted the greatest prog album
Chase Davis
I had to post other stuff my dude
Andrew Ortiz
Yeah I dig it for that aesthetic, the synths are on point
Joseph Walker
see
Logan Butler
Why was To the Bone so shit
Jonathan Butler
It's only shit if you don't like prog pop like Peter Gariel or Kate Bush
Gavin Davis
Yea Kingdom and the Crown off that is perfect
Julian Cooper
devin townsend incoming?
