Much better than I expected overall. Feels more like a Dream Theater album, but I wouldn't consider that a bad thing.
Coma Ecliptic, sees Between the Buried and Me sadly take their music in a more safer direction, with its cleaner production and dropping it more aggressive metalcore elements for decent good results, the technical display is good and the album is engaging although the band doesn't justifiy the album length and has some amazing moments but feel too sparse for me to enjoy it more. In turn, they moved to a more accessible sound but I feel lost some magic which made Colors impressive.

This is simultaneously one of the most annoying but also boring rock albums I've heard in a while.
The production is decent and I liked quite a few of the grand instrumental passages, but my god the writing was incoherent, the vocals were pretentious and goofy and most of the songs were like 5 minutes too long.
Yeah, this album is a mess that I wouldn't want to hear from front to back probably ever again.

It took Automata I to get me to really appreciate this one. I was cold to it at first, but damn. This one has some heavy (thematically) moments that hit hard. It's got one of the best endings of any of their albums and I'll die on that hill. This is a good start for anyone looking for their "softer" side.
