Underoath - Erase Me (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 17

Damn, I didn't know this happened. Always thought it was just a disagreement over the increasing experimentation over the music/Aaron wanting to focus on his solo stuff. Hope the dude's better now

 

this song was a fantastic surprise

 

I try to hold back from listening to singles on repeat but there’s no hope this time. With the release date being so close I wouldn’t mind this being the only song they drop.

 

I have listened to this well over 20 times already.

 

Yup same conversations as 2006 nice job, feeling nostalgic!

 

Also everyone saying Aaron's vocals are totally unnecessary in this song are wrong on so many levels. I'm sorry but that chorus is all kinds of good and I stand firm on this.

 

The more I think about it the more I think the one we heard this morning was a radio edit

 

Or radio “master” per say

 

I dig the chorus, I just think his vox don’t add much to it.

 

the chorus is weak

 

It really isn't though. It's been stuck in my head all evening. It may be more accessible, but that doesn't make it weak by any means.

 

i cant remember what it sounds like at all and ive listened to the song 10 times. its generic and bland.

 

chorus has definitely grown on me, especially the way it gets kinda half-time in the final go round

 

I mean it's fair if you don't like it, I just respectfully disagree haha

 

Yeah the chorus has grown to be one of my favourite parts of the song, love the way the screams and Aaron's cleans get overlaid and also as many have said the half-time bit

the only weak part of this song is that fucking nu-metal pre-chorus. the "get over it get over it" is pretty bad

 

I think that part is great too haha for me there really is no bad part. Song owns from start to finish imo.

As much as I am defending it, it is interesting to see the different perspectives on a song we have all been waiting several years for.

 

i like the half time chorus and wish they would've done it like that for all of em

 

The verse is March of the Pigs by NIN.

 

Definitely dig the new song. My house is experiencing the Great Headphone Apocalypse (seriously, all 5 pairs died in a month? wtf) and my wife/child are asleep...so I listened to this on tablet speakers turned almost all the way down. Lol. For real though it ripped.

My thoughts in order were "this is the most Aaron Gillespie drum part I've ever heard," followed by "okay, I actually dig this chorus melody a lot" and in the bridge "AAAAAAH YISSSSS THEY DID THE MINOR/MAJOR THING."

One of my favorite aspects of underoath has always been that they like to drop in accidentals and take minor chords to majors. They do this on a shit ton of their songs and it always works for me. ALL.WAYS.

Re: lyrics. I'm a Christian myself (one that curses occasionally as this post will attest) and that doesn't really bother me. I also have always thought that Spencer was just a brutally honest lyricist as far as saying what he's struggling with in totally uncompromising ways, so if he's really walked away from the faith I'd imagine the rest of the guys in the band would be under no illusions about what his lyrics would be like if they reformed and started writing again.

Overall I'm pretty stoked for this record now. Disambiguation just absolutely ripped, front to back, so if they continue in that direction+Aaron's general frenzied nature I think this could be pretty killer.

 

I really like it, but I hope the album has a lot of experimental progressive sounding stuff like the last three albums

 

Song sounds great on the HomePod

 

Song rules. My tax refund money picked a good day to be deposited into my account because I preordered that deluxe bundle with the hoodie (like I really need another hoodie when I live in FL) and /300 vinyl as soon as it went up.

 

I am really starting to love this song and it makes sense that this would be the lead single. As much as OG heads like @sophos34 @primavera and I would prefer something super heavy and sludgy like Disambiguation - they can't really kick off their return from hiatus with a song like that so it makes sense that this combines a lot of their best elements from the last four albums. They are reintroducing themselves back to the fans of long as well as hoping to gain new fans that were barely tweens when the last record came out so the single choice makes perfect sense. still hoping for some sludgy weird stuff on the record however

 

Wonder when you’ll get an advance. Can’t wait to read you hyping this thing in there
