Between the Buried and Me - The great Misdirect

Recieved this this morning, I've been totally blown away by their previous albums, but I found this one a bit, well, meh.

Anyone else had a listen, any thoughts?

Didn't know it was coming out ! Thanks for the heads up. Might let you listen to it and decide if I should buy it.

The last album was a cracker.

Only given it the one spin so far and can't say I'm overly impressed. Only 6 tracks but they are mostly about 13 14 minutes long!

I'll give it another go and reflect on it a bit more

Re: Between the Buried and Me - The great Misdirect

Well, the bit of it I listened to in the car sounded pretty good to me.

I'll give it a proper listen on the hi-fi before I pass judgement though.

Re: Between the Buried and Me - The great Misdirect

I've given this a few listens since I picked it up, and...... I like it.

Its not as immediate as Colors was, in fact it seems more like a continuation of that album rather than a new album in its self.

They are still making interesting music, whilst it may not be quite as good as their previous effort I still think its worth a listen - If you like that kind of thing anyway.

It's certainly growing on me after a few more listens.

Looking promising, I shall keep my wallet shut until you decide it's the best album ever made.

I could think of worse places to have warts

It has totally grown on me, infact I'm listening to it right now, it's not as good as Colors but is very good.

I think its pretty good, if you liked Colors I don't see why you wouldn't like this.

It's Shoka, he is putting doubts into my mind and I need a set of rear sets for my Monster.
