[@martyngregg2527]

Best song of this classic.

[@notsure1969]

My life was forever changed when I bought this album.

[@RyanDainjur]

Mine too, man. Hopefully your knees aren't as bad as mine.

[@RiffDylanger]

Same here bruv.

[@arsonne]

As much as I love everything BTBAM is done, I'd love to hear them do a really pissed off and gritty album like this again.

[@mistamontiel00]

I cherish this debut n the successor Silent Circus almost lost me n then the rest I say fuck all (personally). Too long too much prog

[@RiffDylanger]

This is the song that made me want to learn to play guitar.

[@DerpDerpityDerp]

Most talented band I've ever listened to.

[@FiftyFeetofEarth]

Aspirations was always one of my favorite songs from this album, the ridiculous high part in the middle is so good and funny at the same time. It always surprised me a bit that part wasn't brought up by people more, or really done in anther BTBAM track.

[@connorcarbon]

The Drummer did the singing for this I think back then and for a Lotta years it was out of Tommy's range (or he otherwise just never felt like hitting the notes) so that's probably why ha! But Ants of the Sky is basically power metal without the high singing

[@untipoverable]

@@connorcarbon During the Colors days, I remember someone saying that Tommy always did the cleans on this song (because they were new to BTBAM and saw them live around that time and thought they were impressing me.) I informed them about the truth and that I witnessed those vocals come from the drummers mouth at Furnace Fest 2001. I'm so much cooler than that person.

And this is the song, I discovered the band with this one. Thank you for all this years, guys. And Dustie, if you ever read this, next time in Toulouse it's me who pays the coffee.

[@Gummmmy]

'Ants of the Sky' for me. Love the hillbilly interlude ... hooked ever since

[@staf0s839]

This and Fire for a Dry Mouth

[@RiffDylanger]

​@@staf0s839those are the two songs that i first heard from BTBAM and will always hold a special place for sure.

[@DaniSutarz]

HOLY SHIT YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@kellyhallidayiiify]

Best band ever. Prove me wrong. 😊

[@commonclayofthenewwest6045]

Untried and untested One fits nowhere but here in anonymity There is no birthright, no innate guidance No direction or destination is handed down Shackles are the one thing free for all Dead ends and dead lives around here And failure obscures all but the immediate Sweet dreams fall from reach here Fade from existence, fade from sight They merge with the black in decay and neglect The surroundings here are sparse and desolate And life here is grief But the path leading here is short and simple It is so like these aspirations Better ways and better times are bitter memories Lost lives live here without inspiration or desire Here is the lowest of places But do not despair

[@Mrcrazy80]

Does it sound... murkier to anyone else?

[@LabGoats]

I feel like the remaster may be a little muddy. Maybe things could be adjusted a bit in the lower mid range. Still I'm happy with it.

[@jwalkblue7]

Yeah. I like the original better

[@xnoreq]

The old mix had way too much energy in the lower treble.

[@amirjafari6032]

@@xnoreq This song especially, youre right. I kinda like the original better.

[@charliebaker5701]

The drums sound bassier
