    THE FUTURE IS BEHIND US // LYRICS
    Stuck in our last season
    Bite off our headless fever
    Drifting and melting
    We hope you gravitate
    Please don’t wave back
    I’ve severed (once again) in transparency
    Please just sit back
    Devour (once again) our broken disease
    Kill the writer
    Their eyes follow you
    Open the closed off circle
    Kill the writer
    Their eyes follow us
    Open the closed off circle
    Sorry for the last week of bringing you down
    My mind is to blame
    My mind is to blame
    What the fuck
    Stuck in our last season
    Bite off our headless fever
    Dripping and melting
    We hope you gravitate
    Locked in a place of grief
    I cannot find the proper balance
    These odd rhythms, they are killing me
    Yes, me and my brain
    Drip and melt
    Follow
    I made it through
    Sorry for the last month of bringing you down
    My mind is to blame
    My mind is to blame
    What the fuck
    Guilty memory
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
    Where’s the bottom?
    Keep falling
    The future is behind our eyes
    Annihilate cleansing
    Disrupt
    Erasing
    The future is behind us
    Born of a dream
    I am
    Born of a dream
    We are lunatics
    Open wide and let the pill slide down
    Sink away from your nourishment
    Sorry for the last year of bringing you down
    My mind is to blame

    Colors 2 has exceeded expectation. They delivered in spades, every listen is better than the last, so many little details. You gotta hear it with good headphones all the way through. And then you gotta hear it very loud in a good system so that you can go insane to the heaviest moments they’re ever procured and then fall into yourself during the most beautiful. I’m currently digging Turbulent, the vocal hooks on that are so beautiful, but the entire album is incredible.

And yeah it's gotta be the whole album as it's a "one song" album, like every album they've done since 2007. It's not like this track is their "sound". In fact, just listen to everything from 2007 forward and you'll see how they've moved the progressive metal genre forward. Essentially only Opeth, Meshuggah, and Between the Buried and Me are bringing anything new to the table. Dream Theater used to, but judging by the new single, that may not be the case anymore. Of course I reserve full judgement for after the album comes out.
      And yes, bands have influences. Other bands might even have the same influences.

    • @CheddarGetter
      @CheddarGetter Před 2 lety +5

      @@iabdgogogo1234letsgo Yeah I'd probably say that currently there only 2 bands innovating in the progressive metal genre. I'd say Tosin Abasi is innovating, and he's progressive metal, but it's a different thing. Polyphia is innovating, but that's not really progressive metal. Meshuggah isn't really in the same slice of progressive metal as Opeth and Between the Buried and Me. I would say in the Meshuggah slice, everyone is still copying what they did a over decade ago. I'll acknowledge that Periphery has kinda spun off in their own direction. And a LARGE percentage are copying THEM. Of course I'm being a tad reductive. Some are just influenced by these 2 bands, obviously. But a lot do just straight up copy.
      As you get into the more heavy stuff there are plenty of bands that are innovating. Same for the less-heavy progressive and progressive rock genres.
      But like you said. Innovation isn't required for enjoyment. Just something engaging, that isn't totally predictable.
      Lastly, sometimes innovation can just be setting the high benchmark for a particular genre.

    I liked that it felt more like a live performance with dan switching from synth/keyboard work, and bass guitar. Also the cameras to get more a 4k feel, and made the band pop out even more. One of the most creative music videos I've ever seen. This whole album for me is soo sick.

      Everything must make sense in his head or you gotta understand the occult to decode the lyrics, lol. Haven't listened to BTBAM in a min. I've always loved the technicality of the music, the vocals are just a bonus, never really put to much thought into the lyrics besides some songs that stood out to me. If Tommy wants to believe man is god(Fossil Genera) that's his prerogative. These guys are getting old, colors was the first album I came across and the rest is history. Good ole memories.

    We used to listen to them as kids in Bahrain. The scene was pretty much non exsistent and I remember fucking dying to get the alaska when it was first released. We looked everywhere, asked my uncles abroad and no one gave a shit. A couple of years after it's release we were finally able to burn our friend's older brother's CD into a cassette tape (horrible quality) . We used to sit in my dad's car in the garage with my brother and best friend and listen to the entire album in one go, we did this ALOT, we would never listen to one song, it was always the album and funny enough, we didn't know what any of the songs were called. Track number 8 often got repeated the most :)
    The point is, you guys did a lot for a lot of people in the most random parts of the world. Whether you know it or not, we idolised you and always remembered you.
