Shoutout to Heavy Blog is Heavy for this in-depth discussion about the EP. Really helped us understand it more.

This EP is so much more than what we thought it was when it came out. First time we've really dove deep into the story presented here.

THIS is the step the band needed to take. Musically its on another level. Concept wise, its a RIDE

How can a masterpiece such as this exist? 14 years later and it's still perfect.

Lyrically, it resonates so much with internal struggles

Musically, it is a journey on a space highway of endless discovery

“We were writing a musically conceptual, no rules, nothing-left-on-the-table record,” Dan Briggs recalls with Metal Injection. “We weren’t only going to write a record, we were going to live in it; eat, sleep and breathe it. We were going to push ourselves and no one was going to hear from us until we’d brought the album full circle and delivered it as a complete piece.”

This is where everything changed. We have the lineup you now know as BTBAM today. Their sound has skyrocketed vs what we heard on The Silent Circus. The amount of melodic flavour on display, the musicianship, lyrically, instrumentally.... AHHHHHHH just listen to us gab over this album okay?

PS: The remix/remastered version is the definitive version of this album

Wow. What a change in direction for the band on their second album. This one dropped us flat on our asses, made us roll over, eat the dirt then make us do it all over again. Fainting.

Between the Buried and Me is the debut studio album by the American progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me. It was produced by Jamie King and was released on April 30, 2002, through Lifeforce Records. 

The album contains re-recordings of all the songs that were on the group's 2001 3-track demo: "What We Have Become," "More of Myself to Kill" and "The Use of a Weapon." The album was remixed and remastered in 2020.

The songs on the album demonstrate numerous concepts—one of which, the song "Arsonist", was written about their strong feelings against the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, which has become well known as a controversial religious organization and hate group.
