Colors is their fifth album, and the most diverse and mature of the band's career. It is complex and textured with both bludgeoning metal and intricate, subdued soundscapes. Several songs are really long, clocking in at over 10 minutes. But Between The Buried And Me does a great job changing things up with constant twists and turns that you don't even notice 10 minutes have gone by. They insert a lot of progressive elements into the songs, along with jazzy, acoustic, psychedelic and mainstream rock that adds a lot of depth and variety.
Tommy Rogers turns in his finest performance thus far. His harsh vocals lend a cutting edge to the music, and his melodic vocals are surprisingly good. He sings with a higher pitched laid back style reminiscent of '90s British alternative singers. From top to bottom, there is no doubt that Colors is Between The Buried And Me's finest album to date.
