Customer Reviews

A New UnderOath
This album shows a very different UnderOath to their earlier releases, mainly due to having a new singer. The original one left / was forced to leave the band after 'The Changing Of Times'.

This album is much more musical, the singer has a totally different voice so the music, presumably, has adapted to fit with the more musical voice rather than the low pitched beautiful howling of old. The only disappointment is the amount of tracks. As with 'The Changing Of Times' there are only 10 tracks of a normal length (around 4 minutes per song on average). But one of the ten tracks is a 50 second instrumental meaning there are only 9 proper songs.

Young and Inspiring is the perfect track with which to start the album. Builds in over 10 seconds with a slow fade in of background noise followed by 'So Let's Not Even Try' being screamed, and the music kicks in heavy and tuneful on 'Try'. Probably my favourite on the album. The tracks build up and the 'first half' ends on track four Reinventing Your Exit which was a video release in America. Then there is the 'interval' of 'The Blue Note'. Straight away it kicks back in up to pace, heavy and lyrically genius as before with the new American single 'It's A Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door'. Another great track. The album finale is one of my other favourites 'Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape'. This is mainly quiet with what sounds like an acoustic guitar. Then the first clear Christian refernces kick in with the line 'Jesus I'm Ready To Come Home'. If it is not clear, UnderOath are the cream of the Christian music. This is a lot closer to the mainstream than previous releases and therefore easier on the ear, but a brilliant, beautiful album throughout. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Pure Emotion
Underoath are a blend of heavy guitar riffs mixed with soft ballads and aggressive vocals, with a sound that seperates them from other bands. i first heard 'reinventing your exit' and since then there's been no going back, with tracks like 'a boy brushed red living in black and white', and the extremes of 'It's dangerous business walking out your front door'. A true progression of the easily stereo typical 'screamo' genre, which they make their own. Listen to the album and you can feel raw emotion and power in every song. I urge you to listen to and buy the album, and long may they continue to prosper and recieve the recognition they deserve.

new era for best band around today
The first post dallas album from floridas UnderOath is a lesson in combining unique sounds, blinding emotional lyrics and awesome hooks. Their new vocalist, Spencer Chamberlain (This Runs Through)makes his new role all his own (being the best screamer out there bar none) With numerous member changes to the line up, UnderOath have definatly taking a step into a different direction with this record, but not a bad step. Within this album they have gelled some beautifully brilliant songs such as Its Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door, The Impact Of Reason and I'm Not Feeling Very Receptive Today. Old school dallas UnderOath fans my have been dissapointed with this release, but i can feel brutality pushing through, and we have only just seen the first signs of greatness from this band in thier new era
