Waiting for the new masterpiece! D:

Never expect a masterpiece, that's the trick

They played a new song callled "Telos" on tour Monday night, but the only footage is incomplete and sounds like shit. Hope someone recorded it yesterday.

The guy who was at the concert uploaded the clear version of the song "Telos" on youtube, Then, later it was removed. I guess, I saw the song too but then I was editing something out there,...so missed it. Well, wait for updates.

Still sounds kinda shitty but at least it's complete and gives you an idea of the song:

Cannot wait. The new song is awesome

Kinda shitty the sounds is terrible all it gives you is half decent video quality to show how the guys have changed sine they last toured

Telos - Studio Version(posted by metalblade records themselves)

Vocals are waaaaay too high in the mix.

My all-time favorite band is on their way to blow minds and prove the doubters wrong! Exactly one more month until this record is in my hands!!!

This is going to take a while to digest. So much going on.

The album is pretty damn good. I've only listened to it twice all the through and I fucking love it so far. Always impressive.
You all will love it when it's released to you.

Really liking that Telos song, which is surprising since I never cared for any other stuff they've done. Color me interested.

Wow this is some crazy technical shiznit even for BTBAM, 2 listens ain't enough for me to judge the album yet.
Did anyone else notice:
8:15 in Extremophile Elite (Parallax 2) = 9:12 in Specular Reflection (Parallax 1)
Cool throwback!

Loved it.

So, I'm guessing this has leaked. I think I will wait for the release, but I'm very anxious to hear this.

Holy shit, I hope everyone is listening to this. Holy shit. That was insane. One of the most intense listening experience I've ever had.

Fantastic album, took me 5 listens for it to reveal its self to me and even then there is still more I'm finding every listening. I think they've really encapsulated the space/sci-fi/spiritual atmosphere/feel into their music whilst still maintaining their usual ridiculousness (see Surf Rock in 'Bloom'). Definitely feels different and fresh in terms of what they've done before but it still definitely sounds like BTBAM.

This. The sci-fi guitar bit during Lay Your Ghosts to Rest is awesome. Also, yeah, Bloom is a brow-raiser. That transition halfway into the song is so damn cool that it should make a believer out of anyone.

I'd compare this to their album Colors not by how it sounds, but how new, fresh and innovative it feels when compared to the modern metal scene. I really don't know how these guys keep doing it.

Seriously... Wow!!! Another masterpiece and an instant classic. So different than Colors and TGM while keeping BTBAM's sound. These guys never cease to amaze me.

Always liked these guys..but this album sets the bar to new heights. Beastly album, loving every minute of it.

I don't know why it has to be so damn long, though. I wish progheads would realize they don't have to fill a CD to the max to create a good album. Most people don't have 75 minutes to sit down and just listen, and that's what this album needs. I've only played it a bunch of times on the background. I quite like it, though.

You couldn't have a better start than those first two tracks. The rest is mixed for me with some very complex compositions and technicality but the musicality I think is a bit off at times. Extremophile Elite blew my mind and it is not my favorite which of course is Astral Body. I'll need more time to explore this and re evaluate.

I thought colors was a perfect album till I got this. This is so much better than I expected

This album is fucking awesome.

Album of the Year material right here! Congrats BTBAM

I dont believe BTBAM play lengthy tracks to bore you. As long as there is that constant energy from start to finish, the record could be 2hrs for all i care

The fact that this album is so damn long but doesn't feel like it when I listen to it says a lot to me.
At first it seemed as if they were becoming kinda stale and just recycling, but after comprehending all the chaos it's different enough to the older efforts. They are still playing it safe though, I don't know how much further they can take this sound.

I doubt that's their intention, yeah. And I'm not even bored. It's just that a shorter album would have more of an impact. It would simply be a better listening experience, for me anyway. I'm happy to sit listening to Tori Amos for four hours straight as she's my favorite artist of all time, but I still wish most of her albums were better edited and more compact.
