| An interesting effort that starts off promising and falls short throughout each track. There is however a noticeable amount of progression and definitely a step up from past material. There is also a more clear vision of where the band wants to head in and through further refinemenent and composition, BTBAM have the potential to craft a superb album. |
| Between the Buried and Me Colors | 3.0 |
| An extremely overrated album from a band that knows how to play their instruments but lack the ability to compose and structure songs accordingly. The vocals are also one of the worst from the genre with little to no diversity. This isn't a terrible album by any means, but is often highly praised for creativity in which this band does not have. There are moments throughout the album which stands out but is often ruined by a sudden change of poor execution which can end up ruining songs. BTBAM need to come to the decision on how they want to sound without mixing in every genre they can think of. All in all, Colors is an experimentation for the sake of experimenting. |

From crushing guitars, bone chilling vocals to the sound of pounding, monumental drumming, the wall of sounds this band produces is not confined within the mountains of percussion but rather explores and expands into the landscape it has defined. |

Influenced by Neurosis, ISIS goes on to craft their own sound, becoming one of the most
vital pioneers for post-metal. Oceanic represents the band maturing, executing dense sounds
and sonic landscapes, while focusing on building layer upon layer of a repeated theme known
as a climactic crescendo. The structure of such songs is now found widespread in the average
post-metal band as Isis's influences have carried on ever since. This album gave ISIS an
identity, an identity that many other bands hopelessly look up to. A classic in the genre
and one of the best 2002 releases. |

| Cult of Luna Salvation | 5.0 |
This album opens up an entirely different direction for Post-Metal and experimentation
general. In an essence, this a fine representation of an Oceanic counterpart, a release
that realized CoL's own potential, striving for an ultimate expression. This is not to say
CoL wasn't already a talented band, far from it. But the tone set on Oceanic's release and
the well established Neurosis sludge-fused post-metal pushed this band to their very limits
and release a masterpiece that we've come to know as "Salvation". Following a theme of Big
Brother-like government surveillance where control is absolute; dense walls of sludge and
percussion will crush your skull and sooth you with hypnotic melodies and ambiance. This
album doesn't try to be anything it's not. It is to be taken in and absorbed as a world
clinging onto the idea of freedom and the desperate hope for some form of salvation. As
years pass, the execution of climatic crescendos will stick in your brain, a perfect
balance between light and heavy, exploring waters that had at until this point, been left
undiscovered. |
| Cult of Luna Somewhere Along the Highway | 5.0 |
| This is the point where Cult of Luna discovers their most primal sound, the reason why they make music. Emotional honest and inspiring. A journey of male loneliness in a desperate attempt achieve salvation. Highly recommended. |
