Define The Great Line through Disambiguation are all at least 3.5's imo, but Lost in the Sound of Separation is my personal favorite because it's their most consistent and heaviest with their usual drummer/vocalist Aaron Gillesspie. though a lot of people like They're Only Chasing Safety, but it's essentially a dated mall screamo/post hxc record that i think people only dig for nostalgia

Album Rating: 2.0

Define The Great Line through Disambiguation is their best stretch of music. By far. I have all three of those records 5'd if that says anything lmao. I'd say start with DTGL and if you like that then do LITSOS and Disam.



If you don't like the clean vocals on DTGL then go straight to Disam because Aaron (the drummer and singer) isn't on that record and it's noticeably different than the other two.

Define to Disambig is such a crazy good run

No

lolno

that record has aged so well

Album Rating: 2.0

Yes



TOCS is also worth checking but alot of people seem to think it aged poorly. I disagree personally, its a post hardcore gem that got me into the genre.

Album Rating: 2.0

That record has aged horribly for me lol. I am holding my rating on it purely because of nostalgia. I almost never return to it other than maybe a couple songs.

Album Rating: 2.5

dtgl is perfect and litsos/disamb aren't far behind, i do agree that safety hasn't aged amazingly buuut the live recording they recently released mostly fixes that lol

Album Rating: 1.5

The live version of TOCS makes me appreciate that album a bit more

alright, i got 5 for 6 on checking Great Line through Disambig

Noted! Will check

Album Rating: 2.5

the real run goes from Cries of the Past thru Disambiguation



these people are just heathens

Album Rating: 2.0

I've tried on multiple occasions and just can't get into any of the Dallas albums. I dunno. They just don't do anything for me outside of maybe a couple songs.

Album Rating: 3.0

coming around a bit on changing of times but even w that dallas is the clear weak point of the record for me. his voice owns on the one maylene album ive heard but in underoath i rlly struggle with it. part of why tocs hasnt held up for me too bc spencers like trying to emulate how dallas sounds



dtgl through disam is a perfect run for me and probably the only band i can think of who put out 3 consecutive lps i have 5d

Album Rating: 2.5

Dallas was a great fit save for their debut so idk what to tell you but even if you can't stand him

Cries goes hard af instrumentally



also: literally the only thing that hasn't aged well about tocs are a good chunk of lyrics



funny how some people blame its appeal on nostalgia as if dtgl isn't only 2 years younger lmao, shit at this point their last good record is more than a decade old

What if you were aborted...

You could've never had life

And now you make a choice to take this child's life

Because it is a burden in your hands

Only Dallas song I really like is When the Sun Sleeps

Album Rating: 2.5

I still haven't even checked out of any of the Dallas stuff except for The Changing of Times. It was alright, better than this, but still doesn't hold a candle to that four-album run from 2004-10
