Between the Buried and Me - Disease, Injury, Madness (Reaction) WTF? Who is this Band!!!???

[@chef666able]

Btbam: the best prog metal band EVER. To say your in for a wild ride is an understatement.

[@Pandameter13]

As a massive BTBAM fan, check out Protest The Hero if you have not. I'd spot them a $5 in a prog-off, but maybe cause I'm an OG hardcore punk fan and that's PTH's roots

[@bradmitchell1507]

@@Pandameter13 hhh i wouldn't put protest up against btbam. they are top tier techy and pros though. the x factor is the protest vocalist belting it but the dynamic of elements tommy fkin rogers brings to the bam. but btbam is just goat IMO for prog. songs being a journey and long but not TOO long (dream theater) and actually just be a fkin good song and not just insanely technical but kinda campy (dream theater)

[@AndreVanKammen]

@@Pandameter13I've seen them both in a live set in Amsterdam, but the Protest the Hero's singer had a cold. I've listened more to them after that but Protest the Hero didn't stick as long as BTBAM because BTBAM has way more variations in their songs/albums. BTBAM albums are concept albums that fit together very wel and are like a journey to listen to,

[@quentinrideout576]

Probably the best prog metal band in the world. I hope you react to a lot more of their stuff

[@Ruleof2Review]

I would give **ANYTHING** to be able to hear BtBaM for the first time again. What a wonderful reaction this was.

[@chriscowolfmann]

Prog at its finest. This is the tip of an enormous BTBAM iceberg. They will continue to take you on a journey like this hell of an introduction

[@CO6883-o3c]

The last word in this song title is an apt description of basically their entire discography. Their album 'Colors' is a frenzied masterpiece. 🤘

[@PZMaTTy]

Amazing album, amazing band, amazing todo

[@nadivlev2531]

YOOOO BTBAM!!! You guys have to react to them playing "Extremophile Elite (LIVE)"

[@rosswoodland6449]

that was my first pick but sub'd it out for this one last minute. adding the visuals of them playing would of had them zombies by the end LOL.. you talking about the live studio recording right? with the brass and strings playing live too? so freaking cool.

[@nadivlev2531]

@@rosswoodland6449 Ya dude, that video is an instant classic

[@moonyman90]

@@rosswoodland6449 I think you made the right pick. I saw the video and was like wait did they take my suggestion.

[@iAmSantiCruz]

true love= when your girl is jamming out with you to BTBAM with a smile on her face and appreciating the breakdowns

[@sprung5062]

when the first breakdown hits and she just keeps riding that shit made me smile and happy to see. never knew kool chicks like this existed, 8)

[@rosswoodland6449]

I'm so happy you guys liked it, there are so many great songs but I think this was the best for you guys to hear as first-timer's as it has all of their sounds in one. They can crush and they can swoon and everything in between.

[@anthonyrojas9989]

So much fun listening with you guys! Long live BTBAM

[@White2098]

I saw them live years ago when Colors first came out. The album is basically one continuous 60+minute song cut into 8 or so tracks. They came on stage and their singer proclaimed: "We are Between the Buried and Me, and this is Colors" They went on to play the entire album from beginning to end without stopping. Their drummer is an absolute UNIT.

[@20fortheJuice]

Blake Fucking Richardson.

[@nelsonjere17]

Unit^2

[@vincentstanley8926]

The drummer is so underrated! I told him that and he responds with "I know" hahaha

[@buckfuttler2877]

The rabbit hole is deep my friends. Deep! Made my day seeing a new listener ride the roller coaster 😆🙌 this band is truly one of the most interesting, talented, jaw dropping prog metal bands. Enjoy!

[@KytexEdits]

*If I can only ever give one recommendation in my life it'd be to do a full album reaction to Colors.* I know you guys don't really do album reactions from what I've seen since watching you the last 3 years (car days hehe) but seriously consider doing it for this band because they are not only concept albums but flow as one long, long song. So if you only do 1 song it may feel weird structure wise and be very abrupt. Colors is basically a very, very important album in prog metal, and completely blew everyone away, and still does. I think they have evolved and changed a lot since then and my favorite album is actually either Parallax 2 or The Great Misdirect, but Colors is just... you'll see, hopefully :)

[@rosswoodland6449]

I don't think they are ready just yet LOL, I think they would explode hahahaha. Yeah I almost chose Ants Of The Sky, but this song breaths a lot more, gave them some time to collect themselves LOL.. Colors is amazing. I got to see them in Santa Cruz play the whole album front to back on their anniversary tour in 2017.

[@wesleyb1458]

yeah i dont see them doing this. They never do it with other bands like MEshuggah and Opeth which are bands that dont even sound the same one song at a time as they do with a full album straight listen

[@MattJFilms]

White Walls, Sun of Nothing and Ants of the Sky might give these 2 heart attacks! Man a whole album review definitely has to happen. Foam Born (A) and Informal Gluttony are so beautiful as well. "Colors" is just in a world of it's own.

[@tim.noonan]

@@MattJFilms They did Ants years ago. They might be ready for the whole thing.

[@augustalexander8179]

We weren’t ready for this band.

[@anthonyheffernan5537]

holy shit BTBAM virgins! you have so much to discover

[@tylerpd52]

Swim to the Moon would have literally killed them

[@rosswoodland6449]

yeah man. the ony thing that turns people off of that track is the opening vocals... kinda rough. but the song is majestic AF

[@qwhoefhoqweg796]

Absolutely

[@hypersleepdialogues8889]

I can confirm. Swim to the Moon has killed me over 200 times.

[@dexxfilm]

Lmfao hell yeah

[@brandonberkebile8018]

Honestly, I really don't comment on any videos, but I can't wait to see you guys react to more BTBAM. Best prog metal band on earth, if not the most talented band ever. Every album is excellent, and is quite the journey. It's tough to just listen to a single song, because most albums are concepts and flow as one piece of music (hence the abrupt cut). REALLY looking forward to more reactions to them from you guys.

[@msiaregodz]

My absolute FAVORITE band ever! I subbed because of this video...so ya'll need more BTBAM on here ASAP!

[@rosswoodland6449]

Welcome to the party my dude 🤘

[@andrewrobertson179]

I mean, you can’t get better than BTBAM when listening to prog metal…whoever suggested this was smart too. My favorite song, Ants of the Sky, is usually a confusing listen unless you expect what they do. Try it out sometime, it’s certified banger class. That or Extremophile Elite (live) will put you on another planet. So awesome to see this reaction to such a masterclass in brain melting!

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

BTBAM babyyyyy!!! Let’s GOOOOOO! I’d love to see you react to live versions of: White Walls Selkies: The Endless Obsession (best guitar solo ever). The Coma Machine Ants in the Sky Extremophile Elite That should get you obsessed. :)

[@cjbrett89]

Well, the ultimate suggestion for this band will be this: Colors. Entire album. Start to finish.

[@Koffling]

Or Parallax. Or Misdirect. Or Colors II. Or selftitled. :D

[@scottgillespie3838]

One of the most innovative and talented bands out there! There older stuff more groove and heaviness..This album is a pure masterpiece..BTBAM For life!!!

[@clashcor]

Haha best new to btbam react I’ve seen! Y’all are in for a treat if you continue down the rabbit hole. My favorite band for many years.

[@cypher16x75]

Happy you guys finally got around to the best band in the world!

[@billypappas6811]

This is like the most satisfying reaction ever. This is how i feel every time i listen to them... like all day every day. Please do more!!!! Every song is like a marathon. It's fun stuff.

[@TheChironium]

that way you look trying to headbang and groove to BTBAM the first time ever hearing them.... lol

[@ThexCatmanx]

Watching dudes brain reboot 4 times in this video brought joy into the darkest recesses of my soul.

[@jspacerwoman]

lmao for real

[@Childofbhaal]

Was literally my first reaction to BTBAM lol first song was Ants of the Sky and I was just fcking mind blown. Literally sat there after the song for a couple seconds to collect myself

@@BeatMyMeatSkeetSkeet except they're literally listed as a technical death metal band. Not a technical jazz band.

[@BeatMyMeatSkeetSkeet]

@@White2098 no they're literally listed as prog metal. Because there's so many influences they can't be categorized in anything besides prog, which is what prog is. A mish-mash of multiple genres. You can't stamp one genre into a band like this *except* for prog. Death metal is an influence, so is jazz, thrash, tech death, blues, psycadelic rock etc. So no matter what Wikipedia or whatever your source says, at the end of the day it's prog metal at heart and everything else is an addition.
