Gave this another listen. I still dont understand how you can be jaded enough by modern metal and hardcore to make this record. Still mind boggling.



Couple decent tracks here and there but still leaves me completely befuddled to this day.

The first half of this is really good. Mask of Sanity is sneaky good. The only tracks I'll straight up skip are

I Fly and Snapshot. Circle Through barely makes it. Overall a solid record.

Damn I Fly really grew on me but I can agree w the others. It's crazy the negative reception to this album contributed to the band's break up whether they admit it or not

Has Reba dropped anything else? That one song she had was good

I don't think they've broken up but one of their guitarists had serious health issues so they cancelled basically all of their tour dates and haven't really posted anything about the band in a while. Really hope they come back in some form because they have a unique sound and good energy live.

Take Shape is still an absolute jam.

Yea I probably shouldn't have said they broke up but its nuts the band hasn't had any real updates since cancelling the tour for this record

I haven't bothered with this. Felt burned by this band tbh.

It's definitely worth a listen even if you don't love it. There's a lot of interesting stuff on this (mix of industrial / electronic / grunge / nu metal / core) and I appreciate any band that takes real chances.

Mask of Sanity is even better after not listening to the album for awhile.

It’s unfortunate what has happened to Code Orange. The momentum for Underneath got destroyed by the pandemic and The Above was undercut by health issues, rumored low ticket sales, and the winter break between album release and the first album promotion tour.

It did seem like the album landed with a thud.

Yea I don't think this band is ever coming back. From what I've gleaned from their socials, the drummer and the Macbook player in the band aren't stoked on Reba's extracurricular stuff and are now focusing on producing and running a label.
