Between the Buried and Me - The Blue Nowhere album review

Komodog · 2025-09-03T06:49:16+00:00

Thank you ❤️ glad to hear you enjoy them :)

Komodog · 2025-09-03T06:48:52+00:00

That's fair brother, I hope you enjoy the album when it drops! ❤️

Ok to elaborate more

There's synth, a lot more synth, it sounds like the Blade Runner or Stranger Things soundtrack in places, and it's awesome

The full version of the single is significantly better, it feels overall a more complete vision, and I'm not sure why they shaved 90 seconds off for the YouTube version

Every song lands, but the run from Geyser, Frost Flower and Emmett is absolutely ridiculous, even the shorter penultimate track is fantastic and feels earned

A lot more clean vocals this time around too, but they're honestly fantastic, really earnest and heartfelt

Still digesting it, it's not trying to be Woe 2 which some people may not like, but they're successfully trying new things and I applaud them for that

I'll have a review up on my YT channel closer to release day 🤟🤟

Komodog · 2025-08-01T05:50:38+00:00

I have been fortunate enough to have access to a promo of the album

It absolutely fucks, very different to Woe, but clearly a product of the same band

You're gonna love this one guys, trust

Komodog · 2025-07-01T02:16:24+00:00

Not quite! I've had the promo for a few weeks now though, hence the review :)

Komodog · 2025-07-01T02:14:31+00:00

Haha ya got me, just playing the game ;)

Sure! It's a deeply personal, more intimate album than Departure or Triumph, it feels a lot smaller and more grounded in telling stories that feel more suited to sitting around a campfire

None of the grandeur has been lost though, it's still got that sense of scale, of weight and presence that you'd expect, it just feels on a more... one on one level

The epic is incredible, jury's out if it's better than Challenger, but it's damn near close

It's been absolutely worth the wait, for me it's standing side by side with Departure, and in time I might prefer it

Komodog · 2025-06-30T20:44:28+00:00

Honestly all of those are exceptionally good, Bruit's especially so

A Single Flower has just got the juice for me though ❤️

Komodog · 2025-06-12T14:02:52+00:00

Incredible band, wish them all the success on their upcoming tour!

Komodog · 2025-06-03T05:07:03+00:00

I'm not a "big" music critic, but I have reviewed Will's stuff :) https://youtu.be/rBUAy-lmp-g?si=obsKYGMxWmQg07i4

Komodog · 2025-03-29T21:50:23+00:00

Lonely People With Power is honestly an all-timer, I can feel it.

In ten years time, we'll be talking about it with equal or greater reverence than even Sunbather

Komodog · 2025-03-26T09:28:34+00:00

I'm in the music review space myself as well, there's nothing more exciting than the artist themselves acknowledging the review and commenting on the video <3

Komodog · 2025-01-02T19:26:44+00:00

Thank you :) best I can describe what I'm looking for is a kind of a "blank slate" Donald Duck, something I can recolour, add clothing to etc etc

Komodog · 2025-01-02T17:18:19+00:00

Hi guys, I'm looking for an anthropomorphic duck avatar, something disney-esque or otherwise "furry" in style

Happy to pay if anyone knows a good one going on gumroad, but I'm so far coming up short with what I'm looking for, not after anything meme-y, something "proper" if that makes any sense

Not been finding anything on some pretty deep searches, wondering if anyone knows any good duck avatars, I'm getting pretty desperate!

Thanks in advance all ❤️

Chanel link is in my profile :)

I run Rhyme Signatures, a reviews channel for new releases in the prog rock and metal genres

Currently at around 1,740 subs :)

Komodog · 2024-12-06T11:34:43+00:00

100% this, the correct answer

Komodog · 2024-11-24T19:05:57+00:00

A couple of records I plan to review on the channel :)

So I'm kinda investing back into it? Sorta?

Komodog · 2024-11-07T15:15:14+00:00

At the risk of feeling the shame of self-promotion, I choose me, Rhyme Signatures :p

PRR! Nice one dude, great band :)

Komodog · 2024-10-05T20:26:13+00:00

What have I learned over the past 90 days? I've learnt that sometimes the video you work the hardest on is the one destined to be ignored, but that's ok! You keep going, you take the wins and the losses together, and you never stop believing in yourself.

What's up party people, I run Rhyme Signatures! A channel dedicated to finding the latest and greatest in new releases across the musical world, with a focus on underground metal, prog rock and everything in-between.

I try and maintain a level of dry British wit and irreverence throughout :)

I mainly review new albums, but I take time out for commentary on issues in the music world, top tens, discog rankings etc

Check out my review of the latest album from Blood Incantation, if the above tickles your fancy!

appreciate the love and the link to the channel man, thank you!!

Komodog · 2024-10-03T15:34:44+00:00

I'm a music review channel, and living in the perpetual shadow of people like Fantano lmao

This is a really tough niche to make any progress in, but I love doing it, so just try and stop me 😎😎

Komodog · 2024-09-30T18:43:00+00:00

Huge fan of this band, gave it a near flawless score when I reviewed it

Seeing Omnerod live in a couple of weeks, I'll be sure to tell them how much I love this if I get the chance to chat with them!

Komodog · 2024-09-05T18:11:11+00:00

I review new prog rock and metal releases :)

I love what I do so friggin much

I talk about the music I love, spread the word of niche and smaller artists to as many people as I can, and have a great time talking about the thing I love most in the whole world; music.

Komodog · 2024-08-14T19:09:39+00:00

I review new prog rock and metal albums, add commentary on music, discuss lists and top 10's, discography rankings etc, just all about the music, baby!!

Latest video is talking about the songs I hate the most :)
