10 More Hard Rock Music Artists Who Released Two Great Albums In The Same Year
8. Between The Buried And Me - Automata I & Automata II
For the first of our modern examples, we're heading back to the year the year 2018 and meeting up with the band Between the Buried and Me.
Does that name make grammatical sense? Who knows? Who cares?
BTBAM (their choice of abbreviation, not ours) are a progressive metal outift from Raleigh, North Carolina. They hadn't released an album in three years until 2018 came along, which saw the release of two new collections in the space of four months.
Automata I and Automata II are (if you haven't already figured it out) all part of the same project.
It's based around the idea of being to see other people's dreams, which sounds like a horrible idea that can only end badly. It presented the band a chance to take some of their biggest creative risks to date, especially on the second part of the release.
This paid off, as part two scored higher amongst critics. They still liked the first one though, qualifying the whole of Automata as a success.
Let's just hope that they haven't predicted the future and that people's dreams stay their own private business.
