Top ten Between the Buried and Me songs according to my shitty taste:

Btbam's my favorite band and I'm in that mood so here we go.

#10 - White Walls

This is all we have

When we die

#09 - Specular Reflection

I'm awake, in a daydream

I'm alone

Silence.

This is the last few years rolled into one instance

I need something new.

#08 - Extremophile Elite

Carve one's skin out of their own soil

Sends chills throughout my body

#07 - Sun of Nothing

Loneliness is creeping out... or in, however you think of it.

But it sure is surrounding me.

Maybe all the complaining is an accurance of boredom.

I suppose it's too late.

#06 - Voice of Trespass

Jolted out of their reverie

Enclosed/dispose/disclose

Break out, break free

#05 - Disease, Injury, Madness

You will become mine, for there are no more options.

There will be no sweet consolation, this is what is supposed to happen.

A predetermined destiny put in motion by my stronger power.

You are me.

#04 - The Coma Machine

My last exhale...

Knees crash down on...

Now rewind.

#03 - Lay Your Ghosts to Rest

Cut, until all that is left is new

Material

Myself

Day in, day out

#02 - Swim to the Moon

The most peaceful event of my life

Seems to have typically turned into a struggle

I'm in the middle of black water

No sign of human life

#01 - The Proverbial Bellow

Move me to the ambulance of thought

Tiny electric movements

Soon I'll do other top tens of my favorite bands.

Between the Buried and Me Album Review: Automata II

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Typically instrumentally dynamic, ambitious, and ridiculous for Between the Buried and Me, Automata II is the second album of an overall story about someone whose dreams are broadcast and sold as entertainment. However, as compared to Automata I as well as any other BTBAM album, II is instrumentally all over the place. You could say it even doubles down on the ostentatious. 

Take “Proverbial Bellow”, which starts off pretty impressively. Melodic and smooth, sky high riffs and West African guitar melodies interweave from Paul Waggoner and Dusty Wairing as prog rock-inspired syncopated organs cut through. It’s the most classic rock and least self-serious the band has ever been. But when ragtime piano acts as the bridge to nu-metal/metalcore harmonies, then quiet atmosphere, then screaming, you almost long for the days when all the band was experimenting with was prog rock alone. The two-minute “Glide”, meanwhile, starts off as an accordion and piano-laden waltz and transitions into a finger-snapping jazz song. “May I have this dance,” sings Tommy Giles Rogers Jr. It’s a bit too theatrical.

Thankfully, the next two tracks save the album. “Voice of Trespass” is a horn-laden jazzy rave up of eventual punk and metal assault. The best and funniest lyric on the album is on this song: “I want to dine in your mind,” sings Rogers Jr., the perfect way to describe social media obsession, appropriate for both the real world and the world he’s created on these albums. And final track “The Grid” is the most traditionally death metal but is actually improved by the non-traditional element it adds: a very cheesy and straight up fun Mellotron. As they sing, “We are in this together,” you can’t help but join along. If you had told me that at the beginning of the record, I wouldn’t have believed you, but here we are.

5.8/10

Chon and Between the Buried and Me Bring Their Tour to Brooklyn Steel

San Diego post-hardcore four-piece (with instrumental tendencies) Chon—Mario Camarena (guitar), Esiah Camarena (bass), Nathan Camarena (drums) and Erick Hansel (guitar)—put out their third album, an eponymous long-player (stream it here), back in June. “Their breezy blend of interlocking guitar patterns and dynamically innovative rhythms is always captivating,” says PopMatters. “Fans of the quartet’s previous work—as well as instrumental rock in a broader sense—will surely find plenty to enjoy.” Musical brothers-in-arms Between the Buried and Me—Tommy Rogers (vocals and keys), Paul Waggoner (guitar and vocals), Blake Richardson (drums), Dan Briggs (bass and vocals) and Dustie Waring (guitar)—have been at it a little bit longer than Chon. The Raleigh, N.C., prog-metal quintet put out their eighth and ninth albums, Automata I (stream it here) and Automata II (stream it here), respectively, last year. PopMatters praises the former as “a knockout effort that proves once again why Between the Buried and Me are the superlative act of their particular style. After all these years, they remain peerless in terms of melding adventurous arrangements, dense concepts, and thoroughly riveting clashes of soft and heavy natures.” While Exclaim! raves, “Progressive-metal masters Between the Buried and Me bring a whole new set of musical twists and turns to conclude the epic concept record. Although more melodic and experimental than its predecessor, Automata II delivers a satisfying ending and shows the band are capable of balancing all of their various influences.” See both bands live on Saturday night at Brooklyn Steel. Arrive early to catch Toronto progressive-metal act Intervals opening the show.
