Do you guys want to know how we can be exactly 100% sure that the guys who wrote Dichotomy are the same guys who wrote TPOF?

But they had "Ex Nihlo" and "The Trivial Paroxysm" as sample songs. And, I mean the old un refined versions. Those were freaking rediculous. I remember hearing the "Fall on your knees" part in "Ex Nihlo"(they combined lows and highs on the vocals to get this very awesome effect!) and I was blown away. It was like anything I had ever heard. Does anyone have access to those original sample songs?

They're not too different, but I do think I agree that the "Fall on your knees" part is better in the sample version.

Alright well, my favorite album is Terminate Damnation. It's really just what got me hooked on the band. I remember when I was one of, maybe 20, board members and Terminate Damnation was yet to come out(Solid was here! hahaha). But they had "Ex Nihlo" and "The Trivial Paroxysm" as sample songs. And, I mean the old un refined versions. Those were freaking rediculous. I remember hearing the "Fall on your knees" part in "Ex Nihlo"(they combined lows and highs on the vocals to get this very awesome effect!) and I was blown away. It was like anything I had ever heard. I mean, there was much more to those early songs than that, but I really liked their mainly progressive style, the jazzy guitar solos(many of them are on TD), and especially the upfront, unashamed, God-fearing lyrics. Btw, before BTA I was still listening to bands primarily like Demon Hunter, Skillet, and Pillar. There's something about genuine death metal(and black metal) vocals and style that really shout God's glory, I think. I just view it as a very powerful flow of musical creation. More so than bands like David Crowder and all those acoustic like bands- which are all great, don't get me wrong, but my initial feeling was being captured by the force in the vocals mainly. (This is probably why I don't care for many metalcore bands, btw) Anyway, rambling= done. Terminate Damnation is my favorite for those reasons, and probably more, and each album after Terminate Damnation has been equally awesome and unique in it's own way(TPOF for it's very progressive nature and Dichotomy for its combining of the best of their previous two albums and changing their thought process/approach to their music- as to the Glory of God). nothing wrong with DH and skillet, or david crowder band. dont really listen to pillar. i still listen to DH and skillet is still one of my favorite bands. DH is the band that got me to like heavy metal, and i still think they are good band.

Dichotomy. Terminate Damnation was absolutely excellent. Definitely the best premeire album I've ever heard from a band, ever. The Physics of Fire was rather disappointing from that. It reminded me of "The Tryptich" from Demon Hunter, after their first two albums. I just had my fingers crossed that BTA wouldn't go the same way that DH did... And when Dichotomy came out, I jumped around the room and threw stuff into walls while screaming at the top of my lungs. I was so happy that I think my brain actually exploded inside my head and melted out of my nose in my sleep. Out of curiosity..why did it remind you of the Triptych? TT from DH was a step towards mainstream..less techincal, veeery typical. Bland, nothing musically intense or chalenging. Physics, however, pushed for extreme progressivism, and wisdom pouring out his heart and soul in the lyrics..Longstanding metaphors FTW. I love all 3 albums for what they are. Each one has its distinctly different qualities that make BTA pwn. I was comparing them in that when I listened to The Tryptich, I felt just as disappointed as I did when I listened to TPOF. Musically they are nothing alike. They just both gave me the same feeling when I listened to them.

I actually enjoyed TPOF the most, I think. I loved the clean vocals, to be honest. I'm a sucker for those in metal. Not putting the others down in any way, of course. I love all of them.

I got Dichotomy for Christmas and so far I'm thinking it's my new fave BTA album. It seems like on this one,they stepped everything way up. Especially the vocals.

Dichotomy is easily my favorite followed by Terminate Damnation, and Physics of Fire in 3rd

TD has been my favorite album period for a long time. But I had to finally vote for Dichotomy. It's just awesome!

I don't think there's many people saying that there's any one that isn't good...
I think people are talking about different degrees of good. There's "alright", "good", and "OMGTHISISUNBELIEVABLYAWESOMEIMUSTLISTENFOREVER".
