fair enough...
The group draws me in because of a few things. I really like the rhythm of the death vocals. To me, the rhythm of the death vocals is catchy almost the way a well crafted melody is catchy and sticks with you. The interesting thing is whats going on under the vocal rhythms. I think people who ignore the vocals in death metal would find BTBAM to be too "shifty." But it's not really. The vocal rhythms holds the tune together while the instrumental stuff underneath adds the variation.
I like the guitar and drum work. I don't like to hear too much "I can play fast and in 7/8 to HAAAAAAA!!!" But BTBAM is more about setting up a good groove. Groove is a much more difficult thing to do than wankery.
I have a small classical collection and a BTBAM song reminds me of a Symphony involving many movements and call and response type phrases.
I recently bought the Hypocricy album and each song has a specific feel and that feel stays consistant throughout the tune. There is something to be said for that kind of writting because you can really get into the tune. I really love Virus. However, BTBAM is a great alternative when you have extra time and your in the mood for something thicker.
