''Colors'' is the fourth album by American progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me, released on September 18, 2007 through Victory Records. The group brought out many different influences within the structure of the songs featured on the album. Some of these influences are not even derivative of extreme metal. Examples include jazz, acoustic pop, arena rock, and even bluegrass. The album's sound was described by the band as "adult contemporary progressive death metal".〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=June 15, 2007 )〕 Although separated in 8 tracks, ''Colors'' gives the impression of one continuous song, with transitions between each part. ==Overview== ''Colors'' was recorded in April through May 2007 at the Basement Studios with Jamie King as the chosen producer for it. Prior to its release, it received great praising reception and sold 12,600 copies in its first week of release, reaching 57th on the ''Billboard'' 200, which was the first time the band reached the top 100 on the list.〔(HIM, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER First-Week Sales Revealed ), ''Blabbermouth.net'', September 26, 2007. Accessed September 27, 2007.〕 Mike Portnoy, formerly of Dream Theater (who was one of Between the Buried and Me's main influences when they had first formed their band) named ''Colors'' his favorite album of the year. PopMatters wrote, "A true marvel, this challenging but ultimately highly rewarding album is an example of a young band just discovering what it’s capable of. At the rate they’re going, the modern metal pantheon awaits," while ''Ultimate-Guitar.com'' also named it "Best Album of the Year" in their annual ''This Year in Metal''.〔(This year in Metal:2007 ), ''Ultimate-Guitar.com''〕 A live DVD, titled ''Colors Live'', was released on October 14, 2008 and includes footage from a live show on August 2, 2008 at Rocketown in Nashville, Tennessee. The song "Prequel to the Sequel" is featured as downloadable content for the video game, ''Rock Band 2'', though it is the radio edited version of the song, shortened to five minutes, leaving the polka verse and everything after missing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = ign.com ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colors (Between the Buried and Me album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
