    Between the Buried and Me have refined their sound and improved their songwriting ten-fold, and while The Great Misdirect may not match "The Silent Circus'" raw energy and intensity, it might be their most coherent album yet.

    While all the riffs and parts are brillantly performed, they rarely if ever repeat one, and none stick in your head after the band is gone. [Dec 2009, p.108]

    It's an experience, to say the least. At the same time, The Great Misdirect is the type of overblown record that asks the question, "Is there such thing as being too ambitious?"

    Yea seriously this album is incredible if your a true metal fan. I saw them live in October, they were insane, and the singer had bronchitis. That's besides, all metal fans need to hear Swim to the Moon in its entirety. Totally brilliant!!!!… Expand

    Don't ever listen to the critics when it comes to music. Although it's not as good as colors in my opinion, it's still better than almost anything else. If you like Progressive/Technical metal, listen to this!… Expand

    Emo's trying to be metal. We all know that results in failure. Anyway, I gave it one point since the production was actually good this time (unlike their last bad albums).… Expand
