it's alright. the vocals are kind of run of the mill.

You must be a brave man to call Spencer Chamberlain's vocals run of the mill

Better than almost anything off of Erase Me and still not that good

Listening to this band post-hiatus bums me out

[2] Slex summed it up perfectly

Will always love this band, but after Erase Pee I have very low expectations for the new album ESPECIALLY after seeing the tracklist.

seein dissenters left and right and i get it but im at least w this track

Meh

I mean this song isn't bad but it's not on the same level as anything pre-Erase Me

This track is decent but idk man

I'm skeptical until they write a song like Divine Eradication levels of heavy

I like that they tried something new on Erase me but that sound didn't work for them unfortunately. Glad this is an improvement.

Super Improvement

screamo?

Band should've called it quits after Disambig, everything following that album has been so uninspired.

This could be a good opening track to the album if indeed it is the first song. It has good energy but nothing about it blew me away.

Listened a couple times but have no real desire to do so again. Still not recapturing the magic.

Man, I was just thinking the other day that I was glad they seemed to have called it quits. This is terribly average, wish they'd have some thought for their legacy

Song's fine tbh

lol at thinking this hurts their legacy in any way. song is fun

Haha screamo

“You must be a brave man to call Spencer Chamberlain's vocals run of the mill”

Nah, any of us can yell shouting vocals.

He needs to ditch the yells and stick to his roars we all know.

This band is undefeated at making music that's at the event horizon of being good, but it just sits there at "it's not bad, but...". Good breakdown though.

Spencer's vocals are always superb but I will agree his lows have become his best asset

well that was just ... awful

It sounds great if a little unfocused. Weird for a first single cuz it doesn't sound as stand alone as on my teeth.

And yeah I prefer the roars.

"This band is undefeated at making music that's at the event horizon of being good, but it just sits there at "it's not bad, but...". "

Big lol

that's what I did while listening

This is shit

This sounds to me like the perfect example of a band trying to recreate their heyday 15 years later but just going through the motions so it lacks everything great about those records

you mfrs talking about this but We Came As Romans just released a track that will make your booty cheeks clap

^^^naahhhh that track is ass too

It’s meh

Spencer still coming off as a massive edgelord with those lyrics lol

Listening more I don't really dig. It slowly builds up and gets good at the break and then ends ten seconds later. Then they do the fake out thing like Sink In You but it's nowhere near as cool or long as that outro.

These guys were better as a Christian band

I guess now that they "say fuck".. they have to say it in every song to prove they're not christian anymore

Spencer is in his late 30s and writing r/atheism levels of edge in his lyricism

Song is good, but nothing worth any staying power really. Glad these guys are back regardless

"I guess now that they "say fuck".. they have to say it in every song to prove they're not christian anymore"
this is like...the 2nd song total they've said it in

decent

Song is good.

Lyrics are lame. Omg we were Christian and didn't cuss and now we're not Christian and do. I didn't care about either of those things before and I don't now lmao. Is that the entire identity of the band now?

Song sucks

Decent track. Lyrics are lol.

sounds like a whinier every time i die, which considering their last album, is an improvement

Wonder how many hear this who have never heard Changing of Times or even Define The Great Line.

i like their *second "black metal " album best even though its inadequate from a production and technical skill standpoint, nostalgia mostly, but there is some sort of interesting atmosphere on that album (cries of the past)

Cries of the Past has great atmosphere agreed

Why?

This song isn't as good as anything on Cries of the Past.

Im pretty sure if the lyrics to this new stuff was good the music would be much better overall instead of just me rolling my eyes and wanting to kick their attitude in the balls.

Cries of the Past is legitimately good. Act of Depression is pretty bad.

Sometimes I wish they broke up so Spencer could use his DTGL vocals with a heavier, more talented band. All we got was Sleepwave and UØ reunion... oh well, I had let go of UØ a while ago.

Can we get Matt Goldman and Adam D back on the recording process? They don't get enough credit for the huge success of DTGL This mix just lacks any personality unique to underoath.

Song is honestly a ton of fun, I could fuck with more of this. Lyrics aren’t their best but not nearly as bad as people are making them out to be??? While I think it’s pretty obvious what he’s talking about because we know him, there’s nothing here that’s even explicitly “religious”. I could see interpretations of this that have nothing to do with religion

"This song isn't as good as anything on Cries of the Past."

Cries of the Past and Act of Depression are both awful. This is better than anything off those. It's a standard Spencer era Underoath track. Hate for it in this thread seems a bit excessive.

Cries of the Past gives this track a wedgie and takes its lunch money.

This track takes Cries of the Past a wedgie and takes its lunch money.

FTFY

You should’ve thought about the baby before you had sex

i'm sure this is a song

"Sometimes I wish they broke up so Spencer could use his DTGL vocals with a heavier, more talented band."

Everything I've seen and read points to Spencer being the driving force in the dumbing down of their sound.

Better then erase me but that’s not saying much

i dont even understand why simplifying their sound was a bad thing, They're Only Chasing Safety was a hell of a lot more simple. and there was nowhere left to go for them after Disambig but back to simplicity, so...it feels natural.

I like the return of his “MAaaaaANNNN”.

[2] Spencer sounds great tbh, its his lyrics that ruin the authenticity. Production is so noticeably flat too

we should also keep in mind spencer is the one bands like taking back sunday ask to sing live when their vocalist can't. it was pretty cool tho.

it doesn't really come across all that fresh but i enjoyed it.

This felt like it should’ve came out between LITSOS and Disambiguation, which is not a bad thing.

"Can we get Matt Goldman and Adam D back on the recording process? They don't get enough credit for the huge success of DTGL This mix just lacks any personality unique to underoath."

Absolutely - they did LitSoS together too and it sounds massive. If you're sad enough to have watched the bonus DVDs to those albums (I am), the band talk about the huge impact those guys had on their overall sound.

2.5

They going for dat fuck you money

Yea their lyrics and vibe to show they're secular now is honestly pretty cringey. We get it, you like swearing in your songs now...

"If you're sad enough to have watched the bonus DVDs to those albums (I am), the band talk about the huge impact those guys had on their overall sound."

how is this sad

Spencer’s voice aint like it used to be.

this is the second time its been done, knowing them the rest of the album won't be that vulgar.

When the hate against the band is so unjustifiable intense Cries of the Past is brought up as better material lol

It is though

Aight Emim we get it you think the song sucks lol

No, I legitimately think Cries of the Past is good. This song being mediocre isn't influenced by that.

"Cries of the Past gives this track a wedgie and takes its lunch money."

lol okay this one made me laugh, but you reiterated how mediocre the song is multiple times.

Yes, but did I say how mediocre it is? Quite.

Tbf this band is legitimately different than the band that made Cries.

ok google, how do I delete articles that call underoath screamo

Yeah it's... fine? It's not their heyday. I'd rather go back and listen to their old stuff.

Lol Trebor true

it's good, not great - i'm very happy they're back but I was expecting more

Is screamo even a genre or is it a bastardized one like djent?

yes

Hey guys something tells me that Emim isnt crazy about this track

And yea it’s both basically Code

Yeah pretty much both

Nice

Screamo is a great genre with two really stupid names.

liked it more than anything off erase me, so that's cool i guess

the good bit in this song reminded me of dis so i listened to that

You should’ve thought about the baby before you had sex [2]

i miss spamming their newer album's threads with lyrics from this song

This bangs actually.

And satty you listen to dad punk so no throwing stones.

are you not ghostalgeist

better than what i heard from erase me. could be good

Colton I'm sorry I don't speak f****t what are you trying to say?

lmenao

It's good but ends just before it seems to be building towards a crescendo.

I miss the old Kanye

Sounds like any other band that would do this sound, the guitar work has no real personality.

But hey, at least it feels like it has some actual energy behind it, unlike all of Erase Me.
