Editorial Reviews

Between The Buried & Me release their 2008 album, Colors- Live which includes a bonus DVD of one of the finest exhibitions of true performance art. The fantastic voyage that Between The Buried & Me charted at the creation of their groundbreaking record Colors was both cathartic, magical and life-affirming for the band. Becoming one solid unit of artists and recording their definitive record in such a cohesive fashion is a very rare feat. Colors has since become one of the most celebrated records in the metal and rock spectrums for 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars GET BLOWN AWAY! AT THEIR FINEST!!!!, October 14, 2008

I just finished watching the Live DVD of this set (I have not listened to the audio only cd yet). I'll keep this short. If you want to see BTBAM in a professionally shot, great looking and sounding (though not in Dolby or DTS format unfortunately) live performance than this is it. I knew they were good and awesomely talented, but watching them pull off the entire Colors album with perfection, WITHOUT ANY BREAKS!!!, is amazing to see and hear. This is definately a must have because it's rare to see a group of people this talented play together. The only gripe I have, and this is small and many live concert dvds are guilty of this, and that is whenever there is a solo fill or some music section by a particular musician like say some really cool drum fill that'd you'd love to see Blake play, they will keep the camera on the vocalist or be panning across the stage. Maybe it's just because I'm a musician too but I like to see the player up close when they're doing something out of the ordinary. But don't get me wrong, they get up close on the guitar necks a lot so you can watch them blaze thru solos, and you get to see plenty of drums getting torn up, and the bass of course sounds great. Viridian sound beautiful. Anywho, I said I'd keep it short and I didn't Just BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible live performance of a fantastic album, October 15, 2008

I find Colors to be one of the best albums of the past several years, and Between the Buried and Me to be an incredibly talented group. I've seen them live five times now including when they toured and played the whole Colors album as they do on this Cd/Dvd Combo and I must say that was one of the best shows I'd ever seen and this DVD/CD brings back the fondest of memories. Seeing this album performed whole is the way it is meant to be seen as each song flows seamlessly into the next and that the band manages to play it without breaks is a sublime achievement. If you liked the studio album even a bit, then this CD/DVD will blow you away and show BTBAM to be a virtuoso mix of performers and players.

The CD/DVD combo is also a great value. For the price of a regular CD, you get an audio copy of the performance as well as a double set DVD featuring some of their absolutely best pre-Color songs. The DVD has some pretty cool bonus features as well, as it features the full visual interpretation version of the album which runs the full length of the Colors CD as well as interpretations written by the band and fans. This is a really worthwhile product and heartily recommended if you want some incredibly technical progressive metal.
