Aug 7, 2011Initially, I would have given this album a 8/10. But after several more listens, and becoming more familiar with the songs, my love for this album grew to new levels. 10/10, there is so much to love here, and one or two listens just isn't enough for such an overwhelmingly powerful album. 30 minutes goes by in what feels like minutes, great work BTBAM.

Alternative PressApr 22, 2011The group's ability to layer long, melodic arcs over squibs of dissonance has never been more surgical or soulful. [May 2011, p.92]

Apr 21, 2011The slight inconsistency of The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues is enough to convince listeners that if this were a proper album and not merely a stopgap release to satiate the fans, the overall quality of the material would be stepped up considerably.

Apr 21, 2011Between the Buried and Me is dependent on their ability to generate momentum, by virtue of which they can keep listeners engaged in these unwieldy but ultimately rewarding compositions. By that standard, The Parallax is a success, though its true significance will be determined by how the band capitalizes on that momentum when they complete the two-part series with their forthcoming LP.
