| Between the Buried and Me Ranked | 1 | | Between the Buried and Me The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues
My review for this is just *jaw-dropped on the floor for 30 mins*, but no... I really do think this is the band's best work, this is their most tech-death work I find. This is just so frenetic, so bombastic, but in the best way. The riffs are beyond satisfying, this album also features some of the best breakdowns I've ever heard in metal. At 30 minutes, it doesn't overstay it's welcome in the slightest, which is the opposite from Colors, TGM, and PII. How the don't play any of these songs live currently is a crime.
5/5 | 2 | | Between the Buried and Me The Parallax II: Future Sequence
Parallax II, TGM, and Colors are so incredibly close in quality, this is bands best era without a doubt.
5/5 | 3 | | Between the Buried and Me The Great Misdirect
Colors I is fantastic, I don't how they managed to top it but they did with this album. This album has everything that makes up Colors, only grander, and with even more soulfulness in the prog-rock sections. Mirrors is an extraordinarily great opener, the riffs on here are absolutely mind-bending. Honestly, it is really close between TGM and Colors, but I personally choose TGM.
5/5 | 4 | | Between the Buried and Me Colors
Colors II made me realize once again how amazing this one is. The album encompasses everything that makes this era of the band so fantastic. From the blistering technicality to the sweeping prog rock-esque somber sections.
5/5 | 5 | | Between the Buried and Me Automata I
This album has a really dark and nocturnal aura to me. I used to listen to it on constant repeat on my commutes back and forth to work. Honestly, Condemned to the Gallows is one of their most solid standalone tracks, and that's not even considering the rest of the tracks on this album. Best of post-parallax era.
4.5/5 | 6 | | Between the Buried and Me Coma Ecliptic
Can't believe this album gets so trashed on, genuinely. I know many people, even IRL friends; who enjoy this album and not any other BTBAM album, and its easy to see why. So many parts are so infectious, from start to finish this album is such a blast to listen to.
4.5/5 | 7 | | Between the Buried and Me Alaska
This is very great, lots of versatility, although it's mostly on the heavier side. Some of their classics are on here for sure.
4.5/5 | 8 | | Between the Buried and Me Automata II
I like this a fair bit less than AI. Bellow is great, but then Voice of Trespass I feel like is pretty camp, even though there's some fun sections here and there. The Grid is just kinda boring as far as closers go.
4/5 | 9 | | Between the Buried and Me Between the Buried and Me
A simple album, but sometimes that's all you need, really enjoyable.
4/5 | 10 | | Between the Buried and Me The Silent Circus
BTBAM's mathcore days, I still take this over Dillinger any day, but it's certainly not a favorite of mine in their discography.
4/5 | 11 | | Between the Buried and Me Colors II
Over the almost a year it's been out, I haven't felt the need to return to this all that much. I much prefer the dark and brooding atmosphere of Automata I in terms of the post-parallax era albums. Overuse of hooks I think hurts this album a fair bit. Bloated as all hell, I like long BTBAM albums generally, but this just becomes a slog around the second half.

Tundra

10.29.19 | you've come to your senses! | Emim
10.29.19 | 8, 9

10.30.19 | Nice 2 is so underrated, one of my favorites from them too | TheSpaceMan
10.30.19 | Should I rank something today too? | sixdegrees
10.30.19 | only if you feel up to it | TheSpaceMan
10.30.19 | I sorta wanna rank soups | SitarHero
10.30.19 | Do it ya geezer. | elliootsmeuth
10.30.19 | Pleeeease do | sixdegrees
10.30.19 | a soup ranking would be ideal on a cold fall day yeah | TheSpaceMan
10.30.19 | okay cool, i'm gonna do it tomorrow. im pissed cause my bank decided to decline and shut off my card at the laundromat across my street when all my dress clothes are soaked but doesnt seem to give a shit when i go out of state and drop hundreds of dollars on drinks and atms... great fucking algorithm | sixdegrees
10.30.19 | thats fucking bullshit, I get my card shut off every time I use paypal without signing up for an account lol | TheSpaceMan
10.30.19 | elon musk demands your subscription | deathofasalesman
10.30.19 | Impossible to rank this band imo. This ranking makes sense in a musical sense since they mature as a band over time, so good job | SitarHero
10.30.19 | I'd have Automata II above I and Coma though. Coma was fine, but Automata I did nothing for me but II was actually pretty fun. | Tundra
10.30.19 | Ngl I still have no idea how the featured thing works, think this is the first post where I got featured (yay I guess?) | Hockeytown
10.30.19 | i dig the love for Parallax here | botb
10.30.19 | I’m not really sure what the worst ranking possible is but you gotta be getting close | Tundra
10.30.19 | Not as worse as your existence | qwenta
10.30.19 | Between the boring and me x2 | Tundra
10.30.19 | I'm thinking the same thing | Pikazilla
10.30.19 | And? This is the first Tundra BTBAM list. What's wrong with it getting featured? | BeyondCosby
10.30.19 | I really enjoyed Coma. Nice to see it get more love. | Tundra
10.30.19 | Yup frickin love Coma | Djang0
10.31.19 | Coma is top 3 btbam. Agreed this band is impossible to rank. Super consistent across the board, even though they have matured a lot over time. | kingjulian
10.31.19 | Yikes ranking. Colors/Alaska are easily best, Silent Circus not far behind. Their newer stuff is so bleh. | Source
10.31.19 | can someone do deftones ranked | Tundra
10.31.19 | not for me : ) @kingjulian | TheNotrap
11.01.19 | Parallax II, The Great Misdirect and Automata II are my favorites | Tundra
11.01.19 | high taste | Tundra
08.21.21 | updated and shit | sometimes
08.21.21 | oh my goodness your ranking sucks! but to each their own an shit :D | twlight
08.21.21 | GMD, Colors, Alaska, whatever | AlexKzillion
08.21.21 | Colors > Misdirect > Alaska > Parallax > Automata > Circus > Coma > S/T
Don't wanna throw Colors II into the ranking just yet... as of now I think I'd confidently slot it over Automata but not higher until I've really sat with it. Could easily see it slotting in right behind OG Colors. | AlexKzillion
08.21.21 | I'm honestly super sad at how down you are on the album Tundra, was totally expecting us to have the opposite reactions | bgillesp
08.21.21 | Colors, Coma, Misdirect, Alaska=Parallaxes, S/T, Automata, Circus for me.
I think Colors II might slide in around Alaska/Parallax, but I need more time with it | Tundra
08.21.21 | Maybe I'm not in the right headspace at the moment, that could be it. The references to previous albums are a cool touch. I'll have to relisten, I'll remove Colors II from this for now, I'll give it more time. Two days is not enough to assess, you're right. | Tundra
09.19.21 | looks like a shitpost but I'm serious | AlexKzillion
09.19.21 | damn | Tundra
09.19.21 | Coma > C2 | Yazz_Flute
09.19.21 | Bad album, 4/5. | Tundra
09.19.21 | obviously I still like it, but alas, it's at the bottom | Titan
09.19.21 | 10 is easily my 1, as a whole. Love the distribution of their many styles on it, perfect. | Tundra
09.19.21 | Cool man, glad you like it. I can still listen to it fairly happily, just those issues with it I stated rub me the wrong way a bit. | Titan
09.19.21 | Band can do no wrong. They're the best metal band that came out within the last 20 years. |
