| 1.0 awful | Joe Costa | June 1st 07 | This album is literally how AIDS was created. Some Ethiopian randomly picked up a copy of this in the United Nations aide package for the day, and instead of stale saltines, was stuck listening to this generic shitheap of a record. The screaming is atrocious, the singing is mediocre and generic, and the band is just so uninspired and cliche that it's hard to find a single redeemable quality about this album. Don't let anyone fool you; this is easily one of the worst albums ever. The lyrics sound like they were carbon-copied from Linkin Park with a few Biblical references thrown in just to up the pretentiousness. Fans of new Underoath should stay far away from this, fans of old Underoath should stay far away from this, and fans of this record should put a bullet in their skull.

| 1.5 very poor | John Kisses Boys Hanson STAFF | June 26th 06 | So, underOATH used to be really, really, really bad. But before that, they were decent. This is when they were really, really, really bad. It sounds like a pop band trying to be really hardcore and impressive with their musicianship, but instead its faux-christian lyrics (by this point they had begun to shed them) and bland musicianship. Why the 1.5? Spencer is one of the most god awful vocalists I've ever heard. I honestly want to punch Hilary Duff in the mouth when I hear him scream, but since I don't know Hilary Duff, I just punch the picture of her I have in my room, but as theres a concrete wall behind it, my hand just starts to bleed and get infected and stuff...

| 5.0 classic | Firebreather21 | November 26th 07 | I think that underoath is an extremely talented band, and this is my favorite album of theirs. This is a good metal album to listen to, every song is amazing and theirs not a single track i wouldnt listen to. This was the first underoath album i listened to and it is definetly in my top five best albums!

| 0.0 | Fort23 | June 28th 07 | Before Underoath became great, they were average, and this record proves it. Spencer had screamed very well in his old band, but on this record he is trying to duplicate what dallas Taylor did, and with extremely mediocre results. Therefore, Aoron does much of the singing which is fine:he is very good. But mediocricy overcomes, and the album turns out to be very bland. The lyrics are rather generic, and to live up to the cleverness of Define the great line. While it is overalll a bad experience, highlights include dangerous buisness walking out your door, A Boy Brushed Red Living In Black and White, and Reinventing Your Exit.

| 2.0 poor | Full Collapse299 | July 21st 06 | UnderOATH's darkest hour is responsible by this album. I can't help but be disapointed by the whole band and what they brought to this album. Is this really the same band that made The Changing Of Times, minus Spencer? Generic lyrics and myspace headline quotes are about everywhere. Highlights include Aarons singing but it doesn't help or enhance Spencers sloppy and screechy scream.

| 2.5 average | Damrod EMERITUS | July 13th 06 | Yeah, I know. Many people love the band and this album to death. I do not though. I enjoyed songs like "Reinventing your exit" for a while, but overall I find this album too generous and exchangable. There are, for me at least other bands that do the thing better.

| 5.0 classic | TylerLamberg | May 3rd 13 | Why did I give this such a high rating? Firstly, Underoath is one of the bands that first
got me into music with any sort of screaming. Secondly, after listening to this album fairly
persistently the past 3 years or so, I still love it. Thirdly, while this isn't ground
breaking material, it is all done top notch and works perfectly.

| 3.0 good | Ryan | January 12th 13 | As horrid as the screaming might be, the musicianship makes up for it. Focused, clean-cut guitar riffs and adrenaline packed choruses definitely make up for the nauseous screaming that was Spencer in 2004.
Bump |
| 3.5 great | jimmy24795 | May 12th 12 | A fairly consistent, extremely catchy, and fun post-hardcore album to listen to. More fun to listen to songs individually, or else it gets a bit repetitive

Bump |
| 4.0 excellent | Mark James Irwin | October 18th 11 | Spencer sounds a lot more focused on later records, but his debut was admirable. Very good songwriting on this record, favorite track has to be "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door".

| 5.0 classic | Matthew Webster | August 16th 11 | This album was my childhood. Every song is catchy, while not ground-breaking, this album is always an enjoyable listen.

| 5.0 classic | seymour buttes | April 29th 11 | its hardcore/emo shit i know, but its one of the most important pieces of music i own and i still love every song to this day. the screams and cleans mixed perfectly together to form a catchy emo mess. but its my mess.

| 2.0 poor | OriginalityAdvocate | April 9th 10 | I rated this album low specifically because I listened to it years ago when I was a teenager. I have since found better music. You should do the same. Don't worry if you haven't, you will eventually little guy!

| 0.0 | xXJakeypooXx | April 26th 09 | it is a amazing album
i know underoath made literally the biggest musical change when dallas left but in my opinion they did it for the best
and im really happy aaron is sing alot more
he has a beautiful voice
Bump |
| 4.0 excellent | ZoidbergQuestion | April 9th 09 | I can understand why people don't like it. To me, though, it's a great album. The screaming/singing combo is great, and the songs flow really well (for the most part). Pretty cool.
Bump |
| 4.0 excellent | thedarkestred | October 6th 08 | Good album!
A little poppy at times... or a little too electronic with drum machines and stuff in some parts
But overall i would say this is quite a good album for the screamo/post hardcore genre
Bump |
| 4.5 superb | sharksinyamouth | October 2nd 08 | underOATH would probably have to be the best metalcore band out there. With Parkway Drive running close. This is the breakthrough album which scored them their success, with the new screamer. This album is more of a catchy screamo album, the only one that i couldn't call metalcore. Aaron Gillespie's vocals are the main highlight bacause that kid can sing pretty damn good. With a strong opener as Young And Aspiring to the catchiest song on the record, Reinventing Your Exit, and the quiet yet amazing anthem, Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape, this album will definitely not disappoint.
Bump |
| 3.5 great | Matt Rounds | September 28th 08 | Good post-hardcore album with sometimes annoying screaming. Not original, but definite
signs of what came with DTGL & LITSOS.
Bump |
| 3.0 good | Matt | November 28th 07 | I still don't think this album is as bad as everyone is making it out to be, it's just above avg, but it has it's good and bad songs. Songs like "Reinventing your exit", "Its dangerous business walking out your front door" and "Young and aspiring" are pretty damn good. This is much better than their previous works in my opinion. However, Define the great line is killer.
Bump |
| 3.0 good | Joe Shadduck | June 1st 07 | Definitely not a classic. Yet it's not as horrid as many would like to think it is. Spencer's screaming is indeed awful, and the guitar riffs are indeed uninspired, yet the hauntingly moody melodies hook songs such as "Reinventing Your Exit" and "It's Dangerous Business...", both of which are, IMO, impeccably well-done songs, if uninspired. Still, UO can do much, much better.
Bump |
| 4.0 excellent | ValentineGIL | June 1st 07 | I agree, but I'm also a big fan of underoath.. As a devoted litsener I love the album, but unfortunately it's not their best.. A good review though!
Bump |
| 5.0 classic | letitbebroke | October 22nd 06 | This is the only album by underoath which i really love. Form Reinventing your Exit to I'm Content With Losing it is an album made up of sculptured melodies to perfected screaming fits. Every guitar progressin is unique and every rythm has its own way of getting you hooked. This is one of the best albums going around and if you havnt heard any songs by underoath then i would seriously recommend you go out and by this album. I woul have to say that the best song on the album is 'Reinventing Your Exit' followed by 'I'm Content With Losing. However i love the intro to 'A Boy Brished Red, Living in Black and White', the feel and emotion in that song just gets me every time and i actually feel excited before i listen to it.
