1.0 awful | Destructerator | February 2nd 12 | If you bought this, you're dumb. This is just Victory trying to make money off of BTBAM, who are on Metal Blade now.

1.0 awful | Alaska | October 16th 13 | This is just downright disrespectful to a band as good as BTBAM, just the most stupid idea ever and shows the little moral and respect for their (ex)artists Victory has...

1.0 awful | areinking | November 10th 13 | Their music is good, but this is just a cheap way for Victory to try to make money off of the band's success after their departure.

1.0 awful | ConcubinaryCode | April 9th 21 | Yeah, this sucks hard. A cd with a haphazard
playlist Victory Records threw out to get
shelf space with the bands newest release at
the time, "Hypersleep Dialogues ep". This
exists for no other sole reason then bitter
contempt on the labels part, not to celebrate
the band, and definitely not for the fans. The
tracks are great of course but the picks are
not only perplexing at points buy lazy as
there's a few tracks slapped on in the bands
chronological order. None from S/T (I'm unsure
if they had music rights to it).r
It has live performances though! That's cool!
If they weren't just grabs from the deluxe
editions of the albums that Victory pumps out
to double dip on their successful acts. Just
awful as a product and the music is honestly
better consumed in literally any other way
than this compilation.

3.0 good | Assemblage | April 9th 21 | Lol, is (Shevanel Take 2) really a greatest
hit? Guess it's just there to show the soft
side. Anyway, with that said, the order for
the first half of the tracklist is alright
compared to the atrocious back end of disc
one. The live tracks are your standard BTBAM
live-fare. The label basically nailed all of
the qualifying hits from Silent Circus and
Alaska (how could you not, really), but fail
miserably with any of their opus material. You
know what, lemme compile my list of Best Of
for the era to shed some justice.
Disc I. 1. Mordecai 2. Ad a Dglgmut 3.
Aesthetic 4. Selkies: The Endless Obsession 5.
Alaska 6. Backwards Marathon 7. Sun of Nothing
8. Ants of the Sky 9. Mirrors 10. Swim to the
Moon.
Disc II. Keep the lives but throw an extra
bone or two and include Lost Perfection,
Camilla Rhodes, and All Bodies. Take out 'Ad a
Dglgmut' and replace w/ Roboturner, and close
it w/ Obfuscation live.
Granted many of these aren't personal favorite
songs but are pretty collectively the best of
this solid era of the band. I would have liked
to have added More of Myself to Kill, or
Arsonist, or really anything from S/T but I'm
unsure of the running length of the list I
already gave. But with this band, you never
know lol.

2.5 average | ConConure | November 27th 18 | Between the buried and Me Best Of is a really blatant cash-grab that has no reason to
exist. The only decent part of this greatest hits is the second disc featuring the second set from
the Colors_Live Cd/DVD. This was the only option to get a quality audio CD from that set
since a copy was excluded originally of the Colors_Live second set. Other than that small
positive, don't bother with this greatest hits release and instead listen to each album in their
entirety the way they were intended.

0.0 | Inferis | April 12th 13 | Fuck Victory records. This just proves they don't give a fuck about the music and just want money. Thank fuck they moved to Metal Blade.

0.0 | theat001 | June 27th 12 | They didn't need a compilation...as said it was just to make money. They didn't even bother paying Lifehouse and getting the good songs from the self titled for this... beyond that Colors and The Great Misdirect are concept albums...which means the songs are meant to be where they are in that order...rPathetic Victory...almost worse than when they did the same thing to Atreyu.
