Jul 13, 2018Automata II achieves three feats at once: it ranks as its own triumph while simultaneously recontextualizing--and elevating--Automata as a whole and strengthening Between the Buried and Me's place as the king of the genre.

Jul 13, 2018The transition between blasting drums and metal riffs on "Blot" from Automata I into "The Proverbial Bellow" is surprisingly smooth without feeling like there is any disconnect between records.
