Haven’t really even talked to Dalton but his taste seems to be the opposite of everyone’s on Sputnik

We do have some stuff in common! Especially that juicy high rating for arguably one of A Day To Remembers most underrated album.

Jane Doe rules hard, after I split with my ex fiance like four years ago I basically only listened to BVB and Jane Doe

I listened to it before that point, but I really didn't appreciate it until I went through that heart break, ya know?

I just liked it cause it fucking goes in. The lyrics (although they are great on Jane Doe) aren't what I'm there for when I listen to it. It's primarily for the visceral experience.

If the observations you've made from this interview prove true, it'll be interesting to see how long they can keep up this pace with two different groupthinks divvied up among entirely different roles in the band. Me? I'd give the band 5 years at most if they try to keep up this dynamic.

No it's not streaming, only staff members (and myself thanks to a staff member from another site), I've had the album since like the 17th

This isn't a bad album. I think preconceived notions based on the last three releases are clouding the issue. After such a long break, you kind of have to go into this with fresh ears and expect the band are going to be ultra cordial to each other (especially on the first time back in the studio) and probably pretty conservative. This is definitely a conservative, no-frills, kind of release, but it's definitely not bad or a disappointment.

Tbh if you look at their last three releases compared to this, I don't think this was conservative at all. Especially with songs like "I Gave Up" which was basically the antithesis of everything this band stood for lyrically, not to mention the stylistic shift

It's pretty much the same thing Finch did. Their fighting and diversity resulted in "Say Hello to Sunshine" and then they broke up. When they got back together the band went conservative and kind of released a really safe album. Underoath are doing the same thing. Even Korn's first album with the return of their original guitarist was safe and conservative.... I think that's just how that kind of shit works. Like getting back together with an ex girlfriend.

I can definitely see how given the overall softer tones instrumentally it could be seen that way, but at the same time wouldn't a safer ploy have been for Underoath to just slab away with 10 or so consistent metalcore tracks rather than bridge off the genre path as much as they did?

I'm not talking safer with the music. I'm talking safer within the band members. So, basically like the interview said, they sanded off all of the edges and only included parts that all of the members could get behind. The result was an album that isn't all that heavy, isn't all that poppy, and definitely doesn't have the edge and experimentation of the last few. It was music-by-committee.
