Between The Buried And Me

Posted by JAMEZ on Oct 25, 2009 in Hardcore, Metal, Progressive | Comments Off

There is so much that could, and should, be said about Between The Buried And Me, their lifes­pan, their discog­ra­phy, their style, their influ­ence, etc; but for the con­straints of time and appeal, will be unfor­tu­nately left out here. The Great Misdirect is aptly named for so many rea­sons, of which only one will only be pointed out here. When an album is labeled “Album of the Year”, it’s usu­ally under the premise that from start to fin­ish it will lit­er­ally blow you away. The Great Misdirect falls short of that aspect; and in a sense, for that very rea­son it makes this album, quite eas­ily, THE album of the year.

From the start, clas­sic BTBAM comes about, yet it’s the sub­tlety and intrigue that starts to pull you in. Known for their chaotic time and genre changes, the band keeps this prin­ci­ple, but there seems to be more latent over­lays inter­twined into the songs dur­ing the heav­ier sec­tions. ‘Obfuscation’ brings about some of the most incred­i­ble har­monic archi­tec­ture. The vocal lay­ers ini­ti­ate depth and expo­sure to a sort of dis­so­nant beauty.

The reci­procity of the ups and downs bal­ances this album won­der­fully. ‘Disease, Injury, Madness’ intro­duce the vocal melodic lay­er­ing that exem­pli­fies the bands com­plex sim­plic­ity; it’s oxy­moronic frame­work that por­trays a stun­ning equi­lib­rium. Afterward, per­haps the most musi­cally diverse seg­ment from this album is dis­played in the “Fossil Genera” track. It would be awk­ward to ignore the sim­i­lar­i­ties to appro­pri­ately dis­tinct, The Dillinger Escape Plan, espe­cially regard­ing the tim­ing struc­ture, and gui­tar work. Here, some of the best dynamic pro­gres­sion is dis­played in the album.

“Desert of Song” presents a minor chord growth that is a sig­nif­i­cant new ele­ment; and while it is slightly obscure, it is mas­terly at allur­ing one in and influ­enc­ing them to sing along with the melody, regard­less of whether the actual lyrics are known. The finale track’s ini­ti­at­ing has immea­sur­able con­trast, as the track builds it chan­nels a sort of Refused vocal atti­tude, imple­ment­ing a refresh­ing mate­r­ial that is wholly engaging.

Between The Buried And Me has com­pleted yet another mas­ter­piece. From gui­tar work, vocals, drum­ming pat­terns, pro­duc­tion mas­tery, etc; regard­less of the seg­ment ana­lyzed in this gem, it excels to an exceed­ing level. Anyone remotely inter­ested in musi­cal inge­nu­ity and/or dis­cor­dant qual­ity will instantly find this an epic, true to any def­i­n­i­tion. The Great Misdirect is by far a top con­tender for album of the year, if not the only com­peti­tor on its level.
