i would rather listen to voyeurist than chasing safety so inherently being newer isnt the problem (go eat your nostalgia sputnik nothing on that album is in the same ballpark as im out of luck and have no friends)

It’s really interesting that 5 of the 6 dudes that were in the band when this dropped are still in the band and they are just churning out absolute shit now. Wonder where all the creativity went

They like a lot of bands who felt the same didn’t wanna continue writing riff salad I suppose

And they've just gotten older. The angst and relatability have dissipated with time. Define the Great Line is a time capsule album. I can go back and listen to it but it doesn't have anywhere near the same impact it did on me when I was 16/17/18. The band wrote their best material during their early to late twenties. Then you get older, the angst and anxieties of life dull and music is no longer the creative outlet it once was.



I think it's also a testament to how fucking hard it is to make good music. That creativity is a muscle that either strengthens or atrophies with time.

I agree. Disambiguation is a very "grown up" album. Hard to really explain why but it just sounds like a true maturation of their sound.

yeah no this band is actually gone now. Each post reunion release sheds a bit of their former self more and more (Digital Ghost gave me a glimmer of hope tho) to the point where—I mean what in the world is this new song, lol. Spencer sounds so odd. The chorus/verse is ghastly pop balladry. The drums???? Why. And then that little part of the end is just… lord.

Ed Sheeran will feature on the next album mark my words

Remember when Spencer said he wanted to do a full set of Disambiguation

im not really sure i think the voyeurist material is "less underoath" sounding than erase me is which is just straight thats the spirit worship a lot of the time lol but yeah this is like, all the wrong lessons from both of those albums in one + some obnoxious outside influences



i saw someone say somewhere that theyve been giving off the impression for a while now that theyve wanted a different fanbase for a while, but this is such a mess that i have no idea how any new audience could even find it. it's too weird for octane listeners but in a way that's grating and not actually interesting, while still being too radio rock for anybody else since it's chorus sounds like a nu used song



and yeah the drums are particularly atrocious on this. straight up doesn't sound like anyone is in time with each other

i mean one of those albums actually has some of the lessons they inherited when they were the greatest band of all time for a few years. voyeurist has lower lows but the sputnik hate boner for it always felt pretty forced. it's fine



chasing safety on the other hand has none of what made them interesting really. just a dated mallcore album with a few highs. i get having rose tinted glasses but it's aged so badly (that said i'm content with losing will forever whip ass, like an underoath beach boys song)

Nostalgia definitely carries this band for me but they are from my state and were my first show ever lol. Hard to accept their downfall < /3

Chasing Safety has a nice amount of duds on it, but the highs are good enough to let it slide. Voyeurist on the other hand legit only has about 2 good songs on it.
