This is the first EP of Between The Buried and Me's career and they are able to do wonders with the short duration. Between The Buried and Me is able to do what most bands can't accomplish with entire record with just three songs. In typical Between The Buried and Me fashion, the three songs last about thirty minutes. Between The Buried and Me is able to pack their long songs with twists, insane musicianship, and just amazing songwriting. The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues is easily the heaviest record Between The Buried and Me has made since Alaska. "Augment of Rebirth" is heavy as hell for most of the track then descends into an absolutely beautiful melody at the end of the track. Amongst the enhanced heaviness is Between The Buried and Me's trademark gorgeous, progressive sections. "Specular Reflection" has the best progressive sections of the album with tribal-influenced drumming in the intro and Tommy Rodgers chillingly good falsetto vocals in the middle.
Between The Buried and Me has struck gold yet again. The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues is a little less crazy with the tempo changes, but it's still fucking brilliant. The musicianship as usual is interesting, complex, and the technical precision is off the charts. Tommy Rodgers never ceases to amaze me. He is one of the best vocalists, if not the best vocalist in metal. His vocal performance on here is arguably his strongest to date and his unmatched range is astonishing as always. The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues is a killer group of three tracks that has me even more pumped for the next Between The Buried and Me full length.
