Between the Buried and Me - Alaska

| Aeron Zero User Info... | ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING JOKING? I cant really figure out if BTBAM are hardcore schooled jazz nerds who love death metal, or hardcore schooled jazz nerds who like making fun of death metal. Either way, these dude have fucking chops coming out their collective asses, with tunes that will make your head explode. Tempo changes and time signature changes almost every 4 bars are all throughout this disc. On top of that however, they'll do full on Rush style prog, sloow slow acoustic noodles and even lite jazz solos right in between blast beats. To top it off, they end the album with some faux bossa nova stylings. Alaska is the 3rd release from some amazing up and comers. Selftitled and The silent circus are no slouches either, but Alaska hasn't left my cd player since i bought it. By the way, considering these dudes have and average age of around 22, it's a sure thing that they are going somewhere. This album is not for \m/ weilding close minded metal heads, if you cant wrap your brain around some music that isn't all blast beats all the time, i can pretty much guarantee that you wont like it. Having said that, give it a shot anyway, you may suprise yourself. - Wed, 2 Nov 2005 7:00pm | ||

| KinChris User Info... | This album is amazing. There are a lot of bands out there that do really technical songs. But they all lack one thing: Catchiness. It's not hard to write a song with 20 different parts and four time sgnature changes. But it's almost imossible to make that song memorably. Between the Buried and Me wrties increadible songs that get stuck in your head. I'm trying so hard to figure out how exactly they do it. - Sat, 12 Nov 2005 3:44pm | ||
| stewy User Info... | alot more of the prog on this one than their last 2 albums, and they tear it up, but silent circus is the gem of the three. - Thu, 17 Nov 2005 12:59am | ||
