Just saw the BTBAM show at the Knitting Factory in Boise, ID, last night. They played the entirety of Colors II and even some songs from Alaska. Absolutely phenomenal! The drum solos live were brain melting.

Are we going to pretend like 3:45 isn't the nastiest riff ever?

I just want to put out there that this is the best metal band ever. I saw them perform the OG Colors back in like 2007. To this day, I vividly remember every detail, standing side stage next to Paul and having my mind completely blown. I've never seen anyone perform something so intricate, better than the recording. Colors II is literally the same album, made in an alternate universe. I can never express the amount of love I want to give these guys. Give me an option for monthly payment subs so I can give you my money, you wonderful bastards.

The Parallax 2 definitely has one complicated narrative to it but I think I have it understood for the most part. It's one hell of a story to try to dive into.
