MILLIONS // LYRICS
[BEFORE]
Millions... watch them fly overhead
Now please take me with you
I’ve lost my perspective
You left me alone
Alone and trembling
My chin jolting back and forth... sounds soar around
The shield you once were... my life you would defend
Sounds soar around
In my world there is only us
Bring me with you to soar
This dreadful collapsing scent... you never strive for more
Millions fly overhead
Fog dancing slavery... like snakes circling
Small angle jeopardy
Millions

[@michaelgcarlson]

Love the subtle callback to House Organ intro riff in the chorus. Starting at 2:12.

[@rezafelayati6574]

every BTBAM album I heard sounds different, yet whenever I hear their songs, somehow I can already know that it is BTBAM song.

[@cristiancamilon.9588]

Just perfect!!

[@Kranon]

Somehow i can hear to Arjen Anthony Lucassen on the vocals :P i know he's not there but at times it sounds like him.

[@FrecTuner]

The last 2 days I've been putting a lot of attention to this band, and now they release a video, fucking universe man xD

[@Hatingmeisconforming]

FUCK YEAH!!!!

[@nonbandrelated2003]

Sound much like Gojira

[@danielchen9770]

see you in two days

[@disherofpain]

Btbam has a strange ability to rewire your brain as you listen.. it sounds like noise and static at first, so it's like watching a movie on 5x.. too much input.. but your brain starts to recognize the patterns, and it's like it slows down, and the music becomes visible.. like those magic eye illusions.. I've never heard another band who can do this

[@MotherSlothBraapSTUTUTU]

Shpongle, not at all the same type of music, but shpongle.

[@andre99249]

I know exactly what you're talking about. First time I listened to Ants of the Sky I was like "WTF is this? There' are no patterns...completely random" but after a couple of times listening to it...well...it's one of my favorite songs LOL and it's always like this with their songs.

im a huge everything metal fan, believe it or not its literally all I listen to. there's something about certain songs that can just hit u man. if ur here reading this im pretty sure u know what im talking about. so much respect n love for other bands totally, but oh my fucking god this is literally the best song I have ever listened to. that shit hits and then u get the extreme chills, your throat drops, and you heart just breaks in the literal best way possible.

[@corgey]

great explanation, i just found this song yesterday and i’ve been listening to the ending for the past 20 minutes at school lol. i love btbam

[@SanskarWagley]

I already need Part II

[@XXzombieslayer666]

Sanskar Wagley ugh same tho. June is so far away to wait. At least it's not a year like paralax. But it was well worth it. Combined total of 100 minutes ep to album. Also read theyll release a follow up ep to Automata and I'm like fuck me up fam.

[@bobbyschneider7690]

Chris Crowe yeah supposedly they'll be releasing another ep After Automata

[@ErinXIV]

Another EP after Automata II? If so, damn.

[@sebastianarmas897]

Bobby Schneider I did hear that Automata II is going to start with a 13-minute long track but where’d you hear that?

[@randybmx]

Nah. I'm very cool with learn the ins and outs of this album for now. But yes. Part II is gonna be amazing

[@andrewibarra3101]

This is exactly what I was hoping for!! They managed to keep an almost poppy level of catchiness throughout the whole album, but its still technical and a lot heavier than they've sounded in a while. I love prog metal, but a lot of it ignores the power of a well placed catchy tune where technicality takes back seat for a second.

[@shaylarz]

Andrew Ibarra there's something to be said about complex simplicity. I agree with your comment 100%

[@ryanini999]

Agreed!

[@MarcoDelaTorre]

It was gonna happen. For Blake to finally be bigger than his kit.

[@StarsDie88]

A 4 minute song by Between the Buried and Me? Preposterous!

[@StarsDie88]

gang gang that's what I mean. All their songs post-Alaska are a million minutes long. So It's bizarre to see them with a 4 minute long track.

[@waggoner4959]

pretty sure that they're going to throw all the long stuff to Part 2, this was meant to be an EP

[@ishmaelseneca3389]

Have you never heard Astral?

[@calamari3707]

Every time I hear a BTBAM song its always a mix of things I LOVE and things that don’t sit well with me. I’ve come to just embrace it and enjoy the ride.

[@CockTailWoC]

Calamari OMG i totally feel the same. Im kind of new to this band and i dont really know how i am supposed to listen to this xD

[@calamari3707]

CockTailWoC Well I may be able to answer that. BTBAM is progressive metal, and prog has been around since the 70’s and its all about experimentation. Doing weird new things and strange complicated concepts. Most prog music requires you to listen deeper and listen for the little details in the music. Its like a wine, as you discover more it gets better! It’s really fun.

[@wilamanjaro]

I feel this more of a Giles album than a BTBAM album. Some parts just feel too "oh I'm gonna put a creepy spoken word part over this part", like almost trying too hard to be experimental to the point it doesnt feel natural. I'm trying to be constructive, not negative but some parts are just so awkward I almost laugh. My all-time favourite band still but I'm glad they knew to call this "part 1", if there was no hint of anything to follow this could almost be disappointing. I am only 2 listens through so there is room for growth. My mind is open, I'd like to keep hearing everyone's opinions on this one.

[@calamari3707]

Wilamanjaro I have not listened to the whole thing yet but I’m not surprised by what you are saying

[@chartingtheinfinite9656]

Same for me. Take ‘Fossil Genera’ for example. It has that catchy, goofy, heavy opening and then it brutally kicks the shit out of you for about 7 minutes before going into the amazing “We must move on” section. If you skip the ride and just jump to the end, it doesn’t carry anywhere near the impact.

[@blacktaxi2d]

god this album is incredible

[@ericbecker9380]

Sumerian honestly doesn’t deserve these guys.

[@jarithesaunalover6008]

Eric Becker Yep, summerian is a shitty label with garbage bands. Pretty much every band except btbam, the dillinger escape plan, the faceless and aal suck

[@ainadupuis2651]

I like Slaughter To Prevail and Oceano too

[@joedagostino7813]

Jari The Sauna Lover The Faceless have been on a steep nosedive ever since Michael Keene turned them into The Michael Keene Experience.

[@ericbecker9380]

Joe DAgostino I was pretty pissed after Keene’s 4 yr. drop on the new album. Out of all those drummers, not one could do the album. The kit doesn’t even sound humanized. It all fell apart after P.D.

[@joedagostino7813]

Eric Becker I just think it's funny.....Planetary Duality was amazing. Then their vocalist Derek quit. Then four years went by. Then Autotheism came out. Then their drummer Lyle quit. Then their bassist Evan quit. Keene replaced them all. Then those replacements quit. And so on. That's when I figured it was him.

[@willham9336]

Still think Tommy's new look reminds me of Jared Leto's character in Blade runner 2049.

[@shawnduquette1549]

How the fuck am I just now discovering this band oh my god

[@johnnydarter]

Welcome aboard the BTBAM train 🚂 Start w their first album & it’s a musical journey from there. They are SO talented & SO underrated. Going to see them for the fifth time live @ House of Blues in Chicago 8.20.21 😍

wow, Jim Carrey is the new singer! :O surprisingly sounds exactly like the old one :D

[@nickameen]

Alrighty then!

[@Johnny108OfROBLOX]

Reminded me of pewdiepie

[@Spag_Zonkman]

I scrolled the comments to make sure I wasn't alone in this thinking.

[@nickameen]

Jim Carrey has always been into metal, by the way. Remember he had Cannibal Corpse in Ace Ventura?! Maybe this was his plan all along...

[@dchambers1091]

Josh Tillman AKA Father John Misty tho

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

This sounds like a much darker and complex Alice in Chains. Awesome.

[@leroypayne3201]

Good entropy this is unexpected and yet, emotive and riveting... The growth of these musicians is a wonder to behold; I can't believe that this is the same group of guys that did Alaska.

[@seancurry3782]

Leroy Payne very proper vocabulary my friend. Your placement of words is something I don't see very often. I can only hope that you are using your gift for something inspiring.

[@calebmole4059]

[@willbunch63830]

Okay. Who are these people and what did they do to this band? Fucking phenomenal!

[@wforbes87]

so far all the automata songs ive heard start with the song title twice, reminds me of source code that declares a class file's name and its constructor or something in a programming language. is automata I a musical representation of a library of computer code? you decide.

[@wwesuperhardyDX]

Holy shit I can't believe I haven't noticed this. Maybe this is some sort of way to differentiate the themes of songs. Maybe it could be the songs that start with this are more machine than man and the songs on automata II where they have call backs to the song title interlaced are more man that machine (so to speak). Condemned to the gallows (machine) House organ (complete man) Yellow eyes (half machine [call backs]) Gold distance Blot (machine) The man land (ain't no gad dang woman) And so on

[@enoughnonsenseplease3780]

Been listening to these guys since ‘The Silent Circus’ and absolutely loving the progression of this band-aging like a fine wine.

[@JoshkatMetalPunk]

I prefer this band than Opeth. They kinda sell themselves out with their new music while BTBAM still fuses melody and agressiveness perfectly.

[@ishmaelseneca3389]

[@SicAmnesiac]

Hmmm, too soon to tell. Haken has 4 albums, BTBAM is gonna be 9 with Automata II. I'd say that Haken still has a long way to go. Nothing Haken released can even touch Colors, for example.

[@estebanjoy1]

Think Taken is a lil' more hearted band that play with feelings. I just don't feel it in this band.

[@1Second1Day1Step]

SicAmnesiac I’ll run with Native Construct. Small sample size, yes, but Quiet World is better than any of BTBAM’s or Haken’s albums. I’m eager to see what they do next.

[@SicAmnesiac]

In the end it's just a matter of taste, there's not and objectively better band, so... BTBAM for life lol

[@robertgarvin2468]

I advise you take the time to sit down and "listen"... not just hear... an album from start to finish. Thats the best way to get into it. Colors or Future Sequence imo is their best work overall. You like heavier more than proggy? Start with Silent Circus than. Either way i hope you enjoy them \m/

indescribable feelings. This is magic!

[@TheMisfitPond]

I wish this song wasnt propped up to be a single off the album. To me this felt like a weak filler song. It sucks cause I've never felt that way about any track off of any BTBAM album. I enjoyed their other simpler tracks on their previous albums like Dim Ignition, The Black Box, Desert of Song, etc.. but this just fell flat for me. and I understand their conceptual approach to this track but I've been trying really hard to get into it but just cant. the way it repeats that generic riff and chorus back to back really irks me. I absolutely love everything else on the album though. Yellow Eyes and Blot are phenomenal tracks. Hell, so is House Organ. I found House Organ to be much more impressive in terms of sound and creativity compared to Millions.

Jason LovesABR I love both

[@jacobsarvathayaparan2337]

Well, one band is going thru more of a nostalgia renaissance than anything while the other is at it's creative peak currently, so I'd say BTBAM first. New Priest is good but it's not rlly anything you haven't heard before, just more of the bangers we're all used to

[@Grease-Goblin]

I put BTBAM in the car and put Priest in my stereo. They both get an even balance of play time that way. Both albums are great.
