Very all over the place and it really doesn't sound good. Bummer as I am bringing new people to see a show. Haven't been a fan of their sound since Felliniesque. Sighs...always next year. I am now rooting for the Cavies to beat them at the show and have SVC take the gold. So what if BDs show translates better in person than on YT? I remember questioning BD back in 2012 online and thinking they was in trouble, saw DADA live two nights later and i knew they was going undefeated. What if Cavies/SCV are all over the place and not sounding good? Edited June 20, 2019 by Chief Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't too impressed with Crown either. Going to the theaters to watch. Let's see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am man enough to admit that sometimes i do get defensive when it comes to BD. You have some on this site that want to tear them down no matter what they do or how they sound. It's no where near the level of 2010-2013, but they are still out there. Enjoy the theater viewing!! Looking forward to your thoughts and review. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in between the transitions very hard music book that is being expertly performed. At a standstill. I counted 30 seconds of a 9 minute video where the ENTIRE brass line was playing AND moving at the same time. The combination of elements has been sorely lacking from BD for probably a decade... but since the judges (apparently) no longer look for that, why bother? Pose and play, then jazz run to your next prop, and repeat. Aside from guard, BD's visual design has gotten EXTREMELY stale to me. There's absolutely no individual difficulty to BD's books beyond simple endurance; it's all sacrificed for staging and transitions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
