  • There’s just something about parallax 2 that never fails to disappoint. One of my favorites of all time.
  • @JazerMedia
    Love seeing everyone's opinion on what their best albums are. IMO, there's no wrong opinion, it speaks volumes to how consistently amazing BTBAM is.
  • @TheWadledee12
    Disease, Injury, Madness is one of my favourite songs of all time. Its that fuckin horse man
  • "Colors" is my personal fav, but "Coma Ecliptic" is a very close second. Seeing BTBAM play the whole thing live was a wild experience.
  • @nominonner
    I’ll be that guy- The Great Misdirect is my fav! I felt justified that they decided on an anniversary tour for it. Parallax 2 rules too. Solid list!
  • @KytexEdits
    C TIER TGMD? PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES LADIIIIIIIIIES AND GENTLEMEEEEEEN. It took me some time to get into it, but TGMD was the 2nd album I got into after colors, and I still love it. I love Mirrors, obfscusation (however tf you spell that is solid), actually as im writing this up I realize that I love all the tracks in it. Swim to the moon will always be special for me, though.
  • @Kassizrippin
    Glad to see Silent Circus up so high. I swear that album is sooo overlooked. That whole middle section: Mordecai through Ad a Dglgmut is one of my favorite moments in music. Also Lost Perfection is such a powerful intro and it's really cool how the lyrics of the songs tie to Prequel to the Sequel. I have TGM, Parallax (1&2), and Colors 1 as my top 3 (in any order really). Colors 2 is amazing!
  • @TundraCH
    They've easily gone 5 incredible albums in a row imo, monumental task for any artist. Run could either go from Alaska to Parallax 2, or Colors to Coma for me. My favorite overall is Parallax 1 and 2 but TGM is very close.
  • @capn_sarge
    I've come around HARD on Colors 2 since it dropped. After I got over my initial sadness that it didnt' really feel like the first colors, and that it was instead a new album in this new BTBAM (coma ecliptic onwards) style, it started to really resonate with me. It is prog metal perfected and has become one of if not my favorite albums.
  • @karmatologist
    Thank you for giving The Silent Circus the rank it deserves. I don’t think most newer fans appreciate that album. Overall I agree with your rankings.
  • Maybe if you see em perform it live, your opinion on Great Misdirect will shift? Just a thought considering they're doing that during the current tour.
  • @tpags7398
    I’ve been loving the redux versions of older tier lists lately. Your newer style definitely makes tier lists some of the most engaging and fun content on the channel. I also really love the Bandcamp deep dives.
  • @hioeo
    Mirrors and Swim To The Moon are some of my favorite songs period. I personally feel like The Great Misdirect is disgustingly underrated, and I honestly really think Parallax 2 is generally overrated, but I still really love the album. TGM to me has the two high points at the beginning and end so I can definitely see why people might not like it as much, the rest of the album gets kinda outshined right off the bat for most people with Obfuscation, which I don't really care for. I much prefer the softer Desert of Song but, again, my favorite songs off the album are the opener and closer. Parallax 2 is overall fantastic, again, if a bit overrated. Telos is easily my favorite track off the album but most people will know Extremeophile which, I get, but it's definitely not the best off the album in my humble opinion. If I were to compare the two obv Parallax would beat TGM, but it's just unfair in my opinion to compare the two because they're trying to do different things. That's like comparing Master of Puppets to SGT. Peppers, it just makes zero sense. Colours is and will always be my favorite album. It might be one of my favorite albums of all time, if not the favorite I love it so much. It is literally perfect, and I cannot listen to one track without listening to the rest of the album. I don't think I have ever preferred any of the albums over it. Also Coma imo is also underrated, but it's not exactly their best work. TGM is still better than it imo.
  • @posisteve
    great stuff btbam so cool. I have the autographed cd silent circus! I have listened it it 400k times, the rest of the cds i have, but they're just in the binder, they just don't hit me emotionally.
  • @Danglecaraco
    When colors 2 came out, that was my first BTBAM album and it shook my world.
  • Can’t wait for colors 2! Great list, great misdirect is my favorite so far, every album is fucking fantastic. Seeing them okay TGM in full was incredible can’t even describe how awesome it was
  • For me S - Colors A - The Great Misdirect, Parallax II B - Alaska, Paralax EP, Automata I + II, Colors II C - Self-titled, Coma Ecliptic D - The Silent Circus I've barely listened to Anatomy Of, so I can't truly judge it.
  • I overlooked this band forever because I heard their softer stuff first, but I finally listened to their earlier albums like The Silent Circus and Alaska and it hooked me. This band is way heavier than I thought and even their vocals are heavier on those earlier albums. I just started my journey through their catalogue and I’m loving it so far.
  • @treefer6
    P1 is my fav. But Alaska, Colors, TDM, P2 and Colors II all hold the same spot in my mind. Then silent circus, coma ecliptic and self titled with automata at the very bottom. Regardless though, i know all of their music by heart, im a fan boy all day, they are my all time favorite band, i always make sure to go to at least two shows each US tour. I have tab books, cds, dvds, vinyls, posters, tommys newest vinyl, hoodies, tshirts; dudes are the reason i pick up my guitar and drum sticks apart from my own personal love of music. Greatest band in the world.
