This album kills. It sounds like colors, but a bit more organized. Colors seemed like they were trying to be experimental, but just sounded like a random mishmash of genres coming together. Here, they went about it again, and pulled it off very well.

I agree with you, but you seem to be seeing Colors in a negative light. I still think that Color's is BTBAM's best album.

I already said why I don't like colours, so it doesn't need further explanation. Sure it's a good album, but alaska is still my favourite from these guys.

I didn't bother to check this out until today, because I was really disappointed with Colors and sorta lost interest with the band, but this album really surprised me. It's more direct, less random, and the long instrumental towards the end of the album blew me away.

Agreed. I like this album much better than Colors...kinda weird tho, it "sounds" alot like Colors but in a different way...

They remind of Cynic a lot, here and there in this album. I wonder if they are an inspiration for them? Anyway, they certainly go there.

Given that I don't like the way this vocalist screams I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Good stuff. Second half of 'Disease, Injury, Madness' is amazing

This is a lot more focused than Colors. If they keep getting better with each release, their next album should be pretty awesome. =3

This album is a step down from 'Colors'. 'Colors' flowed and had purpose, this one seems lost and misguided. The first track proves this: as it starts out, i'm thinking, "Yes, here it comes! ..." but then they drag the boring riff out and the flow was gone. I felt like this about most of the album. Of course, technically speaking they still killed it.

After listening to "Colors" back in 2007 I fell in love with this band's music, which was surprising considering my general dislike towards metalcore. But to me the music of Between The Buried And Me seemed to be more progressive than metalcore that's why I really enjoyed it.
This album didn't disappoint me either. While it didn't strike me as hard as "Colors" after the initial listen, I was able to appreciate its attractive points after some time. At times the music on "The Great Misdirect" reminds me of Cynic, at times - of Opeth and clean vocals on "Swim to the Moon" even remind me of Enslaved. Those are all my favourite bands so, I guess, it's another reason for me liking this album.

I think I like this album even more than Colors, but then again only slightly. Great follow-up!
