Editorial Reviews

What if dreams could be broadcast for the purpose of entertainment? Could you consume the innermost thoughts of another person on screen? If you could, what does that say about an attention-starved audience? More importantly, what would become of the dreamer? Between the Buried and Me pose those questions and more on their two-part eighth full-length and introductory offering for Sumerian Records, Automata. The North Carolina quintet explores these themes by personally smashing boundaries once again.

Every album BTBAM releases is a exercise in walking the fine line of artistic progress while maintaining the original integrity of the band and Automata II is no exception. Pushing the limits and bending metal genres, this album is a welcome follow up to Automata I, just the 1st 2 min of the 1st track gives you all that we come love about BTBAM. One standout is the 2nd track which combines classic BTBAM with a big band chorus of horns. This short album packs a big punch while continuously pushing the bands limits.

Coming into work this morning and listening to Liquid Metal on Sirius I heard "Voice of Trespass". At first I was like what in the hell is this. After a minute I was thinking this is pretty awesome. I came into work and played it on YouTube and a couple people came into my office and said what is this (not metal fans), one stating they liked it and were confused. The rest of the songs are also excellent.

BTBAM will never cease to give me goosebumps. Since the Silent Circus I have eagerly awaited every album. Regardless of how fast or complex the instrumentals are, it always feels open. This is something most bands can't achieve. If you haven't listened to this album I suggest you pick up the phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and refreshing

This album contains such a range of musical styles and talent, it defies categorization, and I love that! Anthem rock, almost folk, heavy metal, sometimes operatic, you have to listen to the end of each song to get the patterns and changes. Bold, unusual and refreshing.

I like Automata I better, but this is really cool too. It's a bit stranger than I. Voice of Trespass is worth the price of admission by itself. What a song! I saw this live recently. Kick Ass!

Another excellent Between the Buried and me album. The balance of clean to heavy vocals is much more heavily skewed than Coma Ecliptic. It's not quite as epic or mind-blowing as Parallax II but it's still great. I hope these guys never stop making music.

Amazing music from BTBAM, as per usual. Glide and Voice of Trespass are two of BTBAM's more experimental tracks, throwing in elements of swing, while The Proverbial Bellow is a typical awesome epic from BTBAM. Did not disappoint as the follow up to Automata I

La continuación al Automata I, un disco lleno de guturales, ritmos cercanos al jazz, experimental y progresivo, Tommy Rogers y compañía siguen haciendo música genial que con el paso de los años se vuelve mas compleja, pero a su vez mas disfrutable

Mir fehlen noch ein wenig die Worte, aber ich möchte mich dennoch direkt zur Scheibe äußern. Kurz zur Erklärung - Mein Kumpel hat mich vor Jahren mit BTBAM angefixt und seitdem lauern wir gespannt auf jede Neuerscheinung. Automata I haben wir uns gemeinsam das erste Mal angehört und haben uns das jetzt auch für Automata II so vorgenommen. Gesagt, getan, haben wir uns gestern getroffen und beide Teile hintereinander gehört.
Was für ein Feuerwerk!
Bei Automata I fiel mir der Zugang etwas schwerer, da der Sound im Vergleich zum Vorgänger doch deutlich roher und dreckiger daherkam. Dennoch war ich bereits im dritten Durchlauf voll drin. Bei Automata II lag ich glücklicherweise auf dem Sofa, andernfalls hätte es mich wohl von den Beinen gerissen. Storytechnisch ist Teil zwei offensichtlich in den Traumsequenzen angelangt und das spiegelt sich im Sound auch absolut wieder - facettenreich und phänomenal melodisch, gespickt mit extrem treibenden sowie unglaublich epischen, ausgeschmückten Passagen.

Zu den einzelnen Songs:

1 - The Proverbial Bellow
Gute 13 Minuten musikalische Achterbahn, mit großartigen melodischen Elementen und rotzigen Riffs. Klanglich ein kleiner Bruch zu Automata I, aber dennoch stimmig im Gesamtbild.

2 - Glide
Das kürzeste Stück der Platte liefert, seinem Namen entsprechend einen gleitenden Übergang in den zweiten Teil der Traumsequenzen - herrlich irres Intro für den darauffolgenden Track.

3 - Voice Of Trespass
Einfach nur komplett durchgeknallt und typisch BTBAM wird das Thema von Glide aufgegriffen und weitergesponnen. Besonders der Beginn des Songs fühlt sich für mich an, wie ein Zug in den ununterbrochen viel zu viel Kohle geschaufelt wird, sodass er sich vor lauter Antrieb kaum noch auf den Gleisen halten kann.

4 - The Grid
Einfach ein grandioser Abschluss eines großartigen Doppelalbums. Elemente aus vorherigen Stücken werden aufgegriffen und variiert und alles mündet in einem unglaublich fetten Solo.

Gesamtfazit - musikalisch gesehen haben BTBAM ihren Weg gefunden, ohne dabei aber unvorhersehbare Nebenstraßen auszulassen. Top produziert und unglaublich fett abgemischt. Mein Wortschatz beinhaltet leider nicht genug Superlative dafür, wie gelungen ich dieses Album finde, auch im Zusammenspiel mit Automata I.
Wenn dir Musik Pipi in die Augen treibt, dann werden Worte dem wohl auch nie gerecht.
Diese Band begeistert und kann keine schlechten Alben schreiben.

Que dire... ils savent tout jouer. Une inspiration sans fin, des compositions complexes avec des parties plus simples. Quelques heures d'écoute a venir pour découvrir toutes les subtilités. Le meilleur groupe de métal progressif du moment.
Merci.
Ils sont en tournée Européenne et malheureusement pas en tête d'affiche ... ! ? Incompréhensible
