My name is Dayle Smith and I play rhythm guitar and
occasional leads in what we define ourselves as just a metal band because we
don't like to confine ourselves to one style. I guess it could be defined as "weird" metal. We
hail from a small town called Ingersoll near London , Ontario

The Parallax II-Future Sequence is Between the Buried and
Me's 7th album release (6 excluding the last E.P. they released) and is being
considered highly anticipated by many fans, such as myself. So being such "fanboy" as
you call it, I have given much though to this review, trying not to be
objective and rather subjective, so to any first time listeners of this band I hope that this review can help steer you in
the same direction that I am in. Though they have went through a good handful
of members the current member have been there for a long time, so I imagine
they have found who will be staying for a while(at least I hope).
NOT FOR THE WEAK OF HEART xD
The first song, “Goodbye to Everything,” starts off quite
sombre which at first you might think is odd for the beginning of an album but
it’s a short song that sets the mood for the next song. “Astral Body” is just perfect because this
song is one that seems to fit its name. It starts like most...INTENSE with an
off time riff that is melodic and catchy at the same time. What this album has that I have been
personally hearing more and more unique sounds to, is the keyboard. In “Astral Body” and other songs such as “Extremophile Elite.” This is due to the talents of the singer Tommy
Rogers, I found over the years he has been mastering his key skills as well as
his singing. The track "Lay Your Ghosts to Rest" is almost like a homage to the album “Colours”
but with more off the wall wacky breaks in between intense metal riffs. “Extremophile
Elite” tends to go even further back to “Alaska ”
days, mixed with psychotic circus break ups. The longest song on the album
Silent Flight Parliament, which not so coincidently my favourite song is like “The
Great Misdirect” feeling. So why make all these songs reminding
the fan/listener of other albums? Because they took the best parts and reminded
us that they still rock but in a new and exciting way!
Besides the music itself being something of pure genius, the
production quality is astounding. The subtle nuances in each emotional part are
amazing ranging from something. So simple, as a piano melody with some singing
to something awesomely ridiculous as a surfer music esque part, it all sounds
audibly great! Which nowadays, in a lot of recordings in the genre metal, are
few and far to come by. To me as a musician especially a guitarist, tone is
everything, so listening to a lead or solo that sounds so nice to the ear is
always so sweet to hear.
Now for being such a huge fan, it is really hard to judge
this album negatively at all so i really had to try hard in order to see the
things I didn't like. First things first are the random minute and a half to 2
minute long songs. I understand intro's and such but when I see a track listing
of 12 songs I expected 12 songs at least being 3 and half minutes or longer each
especially coming from a band with songs that are up to 17 minutes each! So
they really could of just threw them on the beginning of the other long songs
or combined them into one and had a few less tracks. The only other thing I
could point out is something that I have always thought throughout their career
which is the screaming could be a little bit more diverse, but that is it
really. But all the leads are mind blowing as usual, as well as the fabulous
solos which include so many different styles which include, blues, jazz and
soul. The fill riffs are always what really take the cake in the band, which is
no different on this album. And like I said previously, the keyboards seem to
be so much more thought out and well prepared. Though knowing so much of their
music in the past I don't think I will ever get past “Colours” as my favourite
album.
So for any BTBAM fans out there, I guarantee you are going
to love this album and for any new listeners it is definitely an album that can
help you become a fan. I have been listening to them since “Alaska ” so it’s been non-stop anticipation
since then. With “The Parallax II: Future Sequence” due out on October 9, I
know I have been wanting a copy of it as soon as it drops. This album will
excite your ears as well as your minds. I strongly recommend it to whoever
loves the most kind of progressive music out there!
