Colors II is the tenth studio album by American progressive metalcore band Between the Buried and Me.

[1][2] In regards of the conception of the album, vocalist Tommy Giles Rogers Jr. explained:[3] Especially with 2020, we really wanted to give it all we could and show the world we’re still here.

We came out guns blazing, and I feel like it’s some of our most creative material in a long time.Guitarist Paul Waggoner added: Colors was very much our attempt at a do-or-die statement.

We had to do something next level.About the concept, Rogers commented: Musically, it flows like a sequel to Colors, but it wasn’t just another version of that album.

Maybe this will help them move forward creatively or in life.And about the track "Fix the Error", he shared: The intention was to write a metal song with a big gospel vibe.

gave the album 4 out of 5 with writer James Hickie stating: "Unsurprisingly, at 80 minutes long, and with exhaustive closing track 'Human Is Hell (Another One with Love)' taking up 15 of those, it's entirely too much music to wrestle with on cursory listens, and requires serious dedication, though that's no bad thing in an age when streaming has fundamentally altered the attention span.

It's worth the endeavour, though, because there's some sublime music here, deep and diverse, which has plenty to offer nerds and newbies alike.

It's the only album to ever recapture Colors' brand of restlessness, reaffirming that BTBAM are once-in-a-lifetime masterminds.
