Between the Buried and Me

[bright lights, big city]

nice work

[ben]

the instrumental version of Alaska is so crazy to listen to.

[defskull]

Finally listened to The Great Misdirect yesterday.  The first listen through, I really didn't like it.  I was disappointed actually.  It appeared to be just a bunch of jamming which is not something I signed up for when it comes to BTBAM.  But after another listen or two, I'm starting to enjoy it.  I don't mind the melodies, but I guess I wasn't expecting the music to sound as it did. Some of it sounds like some band out of the 70s.  Nothing against it but just not what I expected.  I'm sure the album will grow on me some more but I don't see them topping Alaska.

Im really starting to like the new album.....couldn't really appreciate it on the first listen but ive played it about 5 times now and wow.......what an amazing band

[defskull]

Okay it seems like multiple people are having this reaction but this album is getting better with each listen.  I'm in absolute love with Mirrors though. 

[Oldnewtype]

I've probably listened to it 25 times now and it still gets better with each listen.

This is the first BTBAM album for which i know every word all the way through.




Can someone post a link to the instrumental version of Alaska? Never heard it.

I'm currently tripping over Alaska.

All Bodies is where it's at.  I absolutely love the way that disc opens with that song.

That and Selkies were by far my favorite tracks on that album. Classics.

All Bodies is where it's at.  I absolutely love the way that disc opens with that song.

Complete agreement, one of the best openings I've heard.

I'm going to download SC and S/T today.  I've waited much too long.

My new favourite band. I never really listened to them for a long time. Not sure why...

But now that I've given them a decent listen...so awesome.

the drummer is an absolute machine.

oh shit yeah, this was posted on theprp:

Between The Buried And Me's much rumored signing with Metal Blade has been made official with the groups new effort "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues" set to see a release through the label on April 12th. Previously thought to only be an EP, the official press release on the bands signing refers to "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues" as an album.

Speaking on their new deal, band guitarist Paul Waggoner offered the following:

    "We are delighted in the opportunity to join the Metal Blade family. Their commitment to heavy music over the years is inspiring and we look forward to becoming a part of the ever-growing legacy of the label. Our new release, titled "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues" will hit the streets in April. We are confident that our dedicated fans will appreciate it and hopeful that we will gain the attention of some new ears as well. In closing, I'd like to reference a quote from the illustrious Joe Dirt: "Life's a garden, dig it."
