[@LeisureSuitGaming2]

I remember being in a music store in 2008 and it was my friend's birthday. I told him to pick any cd and I'd buy it for him. He couldn't decide so randomly I chose the first Colors cuz of the sweet cover art. Guy at the counter said we made the right decision. Listened to it on the way home and it changed my life. We wore that disc out. This is truly a special moment listening to this new album and even though me and my friend aren't friends anymore this makes me think of the good times. Bravo.

[@metalmanny666]

You should reach out to him, please

[@TheJeffum]

Colors messed up my college years cause I could never leave the car to get to class...

[@MispeledStalion]

You're the real hero, Face Destroyer. It's kind of amazing how unique the album is, but the metastructure and vibe are SO OG Colors. Besides the first two songs and the final track, there aren't many identifiable similarities, but even if Colors 2 had a different name, it would still feel like a spiritual successor to Colors. It's a stellar album, and I hope I speak for every BtBaM fan in saying how lucky we are that they have consistently churned out bangers for 20+ years

[@GHOSTPLANEtable]

[@betweentheburnoutandme1155]

Dream Theater meets Dillinger Escape Plan in the best possible way. These guys have been legends for quite awhile but have somehow outdone themselves again. And Blake is the best in the game. Amazingingly crafted drum parts. And the dude never messes up live. Ridiculous

Well, in my next car anyway. My old Chrysler finally bit the dust. It'll have to be in digital form as they don't make new cars with CD players anymore 😞

Wanna hear something tragic? I had this CD in my car's CD player for at least a month after I got the album in the mail. One morning, I was about to leave & my car was gone from the driveway! They located it several days later completely totaled. Insurance covered it, but every single one of my CD's, including this one, were gone 😢

Can we talk about how amazing the second half of this song is? That final riff between 11:16-11:30 is just divine and love how it's a repeating theme throughout the song.

[@LorcanWard]

I haven't listened to these guys in a long time. I love how you don't know where a song will go. This song takes so many left turns. Somme really tasty guitar and catchy vocal melody sections. Lots of peaks and drops. Tommy's vocals are on point and in places stronger than they ever have, his solo albums were good experience for him.

[@fromulus]

Tommy probably benefited the most from the extended hiatus, he sounded phenomenal last week when I saw them, far better than he did the time prior, after a lot of touring.

[@toxictator4561]

Some of the stomp riffs and clean breaks in this album liken back to The Silent Circus and Alaska . Makes me very happy .

This is probably the hottest track on the album. An absolute emotional rollercoaster from start to finish.

[@betweentheburnoutandme1155]

you can thank the legendary and humble Jamie King for that. Ive known him for decades and he is absolutely the best and is also a fellow metal head through and through!

[@notsure1969]

Absolutely. I've been listening to the entire album at least once per week after release and I don't feel I could ever get tired of listening to it. Colors 2 pumps me the fuck up.

[@stepthrough6169]

Do you understand the amount of pressure it was trying to live up to the masterpiece Colors is & BTBAM not only lived up to it but might have actually 1 up'd the 1st one!

[@JUJUJUNO]

Colors was an iconic masterpiece of art, but this one not only lived up to that, it was with it's own face and sound, being an entirelly new thing while making homage to pretty much everything they've done so far, it's outstanding to say the least, def a fav of mine. The perfect sequel

[@arch92]

This album is great and I am on my second listen but I don't think it lived up to Colors. That album was iconic and maybe I am being bias but this just isn't having me feel like I did on the Colors 1 and that's fine! :) still happy bout any new btbam album lol

[@KentStJohn-vn6bq]

This is their best work to date IMO. Incorporated sounds from all past albums in some form, while branching out into new territory. The synth choices for example.

[@davydoomz]

This was my thought leading up to the album release. I didnt think it was possible to achieve anything worthy of that title, almost ridiculous to think so. But damnit they did it and Im glad Im here to witness it.

[@sicboi80]

This is their best album ever. It's taken me a while to cope with the first Colors album being overtaken by this, but after my 8th or 9th listen I can safely say this is the best work they have ever done IMO.

[@guitarWoob]

Hnnnng... That opening riff

[@blackwaterrust476]

Holy Shit I can’t believe it, not only is this album worthy of being called Colors 2 it might be as Good as the original Colors.

I was as apprehensive as the rest with them following up Colors and potentially tarnishing a classic. But this really is incredible, even the time-span between the two, you can tell they're related. Very cleverly written, you can see 100% effort went into it. That outro!!!!!! BTBAM write some of the hugest outros I have ever heard. Best track on the album for me, incredible!
