Last two songs are the business

When its so mediocre in the first place, yeah all those things make it easy to forget about them.

I grew to hate clean singing and breakdowns in this style. Its not like i just hate them beceause of their religion or fans. I still like Zao. Probably the only "christian" band from this scene I can think of that I like.

Album Rating: 2.5

But there's not much mediocre about Underoath. I mean, yeah I think Aaron's voice was annoying sometimes, but he's not even in the band anymore.



And we been over this man, you can't call anything mediocre and then go on and say you like Zao.

I'm Content With Losing is the best song on TOCs, real talk.

Zao has fucking riffs that slay. Underoath does not.

a perfect example of how their preachy religious lyricism might turn some listeners off

"and if you want you can always sing it in a sarcastic way."



Love this song but catch myself doing this often.

What's the best song on this record?

Album Rating: 4.0

well actually people might complain then as well. the point is that there are points of

underoath songs that sound as if they're trying to force their religious stances down your throat

through their music. I dont necessarily feel that way i'm simply saying i can see where people

might.



also, how would singing it sarcastically do anything positive whatsoever? then you'll just piss off

the people who don't appreciate other people making a mockery of their beliefs.





there is an obvious balance of subtlety that can be reached, and this album does a far better job of

that than TOCS did.





edit: i misunderstood your sarcasm comment so yeah. but i mean the point is still semi-valid so

w/e.

I don't understand how people feel like bands with Christian faith are trying to shove their faith down the listeners' throats. Getting upset at a band with Christians in it for singing about Jesus is like getting upset at metal bands for using distortion or instrumental bands for not singing. They're not asking you to believe in God, they're just singing about it. If they were a band that worshiped cheesecake and you didn't like cheesecake, get over it. The Cheesecake Brothers like cheesecake and Underoath likes God. You can choose to "shove it down" your own throat, but that's the listeners prerogative, not the band's.

And seriously, you clearly didn't pay much attention to TOCS if you think it's a preachy album, because it's pretty much about being depressed except the last song.

Like I said

Leave your baggage at the back door

I'm leaving you the way I think it should be

We're always pulling into spaces that we can't back out of

Starting fights we can't talk our way out of them



How does it feel to be on the recieving end of this one?



I'm half way there and it's all on me

This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more

This is the way its got to be

Dancing on all these changes

So I walk around with this rope in my hand



So I'll tie it around and around, and around

I'll tie me down



I'll fantasize of being manic

And leaving us behind

In your eyes you were the one that tried



Acceptance is what holds us here

And you my dear are the one I fear tonight

We'll try just one more time



This is the moment that we all live for

Are you ready? Are you ready?



I'm half way there and it's all on me

This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more

This is the way its got to be

Dancing on all these changes

So I walk around with this rope in my hand



So I'll tie it around and around and around

I'll tie me down



ugh such preachy Christian lyrics

Although it is annoying when bands do preachy shit during shows.



i.e. For Today -_-

I thought you'd come back

So I prayed

The romance has been dead for years

The romance is dead! The romance is dead! Won't you come back?

So I prayed

Relief, support never came



Memories carry me to the days of when we were kids

And angels came and watched us play



Close my eyes just for tonight

The sun still sleeps and when she awakes



A movie that plays in my mind

Remembering you helps me survive

Every day a re-run of the next

I promised to stay by your side

But that all would change

I can't complain, another victim of the game



Close my eyes just for tonight

The sun still sleeps and when she wakes



Maybe love will find us again

For there is always tomorrow

Sincerely till the end my friend



Close my eyes just for tonight

The sun still sleeps and when she wakes



I guess these lyrics are pretty preachy, Aaron says he prayed!

Maybe their first album, nothing after that.
