Underoath - Erase Me (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 74

Fear Inside Our Bones - Wikipedia

Their last album was met with “Critical and commercial acclaim.” So were the others.

 

Glad they got some love then!

 

My issue with Aaron is that he was never great at writing melodies for Underoath outside of TOCS. His voice is fine but he’s just always like, shouting and shit. Yelling loud and hitting high notes all the time is really just a huge cop out.

Spencer is better with melodies but his actual voice is so.... shrill. He can hit notes but his timbre sucks.

 

Well I think his voice is not really whiny in the slightest and that The Almost were awesome and that he sounded great on those albums so guess we just have to disagree on that.

 

Southern Weather was a jam, but each album afterwards got less and less interesting.

 

Personally I think Monster Monster was more interesting in certain areas. Southern Weather was great but my one complaint about it was that a lot of the songs sounded very similar (not all of them but alot of them did). Monster Monster by contrast expanded their sound more and went in different directions.

I do agree that Fear Inside Our Bones was less good than the first 2 but I think that was more the music not really clicking with me than his vocal performance. Like I get what they were trying to do on it but i dunno that they pulled it off very well.

 

I love "Say This Sooner" and "Hand Grenade" a lot but I'm not sure I ever really listened to any other songs by that band for some reason.

 

I agree with this. Southern Weather was pretty one dimensional, but it was a lot of fun and didn't over do it's stay. Monster Monster definitely had more variety, but wasn't as consistent. It's still pretty good though, the opener is a jam. That album cover was cool too

FIOB imo was a misstep. They didn't do that southern rock vibe or whatever it was well, the music got kinda stale. Surprise it got critical acclaim

 

AMAZING GRAAAAAACE

 

I can’t say UO are necessarily better with Aaron bc Dis has fantastic songwriting/vocals but as long as The Created Void exists I will never accept that they’re necessarily better without him.
I think that “scene-ness” in his voice is a huge draw for me. A nice little throwback to their past imo.

 

Agreed with all of this. If you substitute in great jams like "Birmingham" and "Wrong" that didn't make that album, Monster Monster is easily their best. The last song on that is some of Aaron's finest work to this day.

FIOB was alright, but it didn't commit enough to its sound and just kind of hovered halfway between southern rock and more pop-punk stuff. "Ghost" and the title track are hard hard jams though

 

Yeesh. Shouldn't have looked at the Youtube comments under the Rapture video. People are really being shitty about this change :/

 

I hated the almost. Like really hated them. Probably part of why I don't like aaron.

 

i thought underoath was undeniably better without aaron in every department, whether that was a direct result of aaron leaving or not is up for debate, but to my ears there's a huge gap in quality between pre disambiguation albums and disambiguation, with only LITSOS being comparable but even then disambiguation is a much better album. JUST MY OPINION THOUGH DONT WANT ANYONE TO GET THE WRONG IDEA AND THINK IM STATING ALL THIS AS A FACT

 

It's like Spencer said the other day; hate is very loud on the internet. There are definitely more people who like Rapture than don't but the people who do are probably not banging about it - they'll just hit like and get on with their day. The people who hate it will write a shitty, sarcastic comment on Youtube or Facebook and get enough thumbs up to make it sound like a thing.

 

I seriously cannot stop listening to Disambiguation. I'm only 8 years behind. (I'm a dipshit)

 

Looks like they are playing emo nite in LA on April 3. Couple songs.

 

Spencer and Aaron are playing a few songs at the Emo Night August Burns Red is throwing in Lancaster, PA in April as well. Probably trying to remind old scene kids that they're back with a new record.

 

Dig it. Hoping this album and tour pushes them even further into the spotlight. Wish nothing but the best for these dudes!

 

Southern Weather is still the only The Almost record I got into. I'm constantly cycling between LITSOS and Disambiguation being my favorite UO records. I both love and hate Aaron at times. Haha. When Disambiguation first came out, I thought that it showed how much Aaron was holding them back. Now I don't really know what to think. I love both of those albums. Having said all of that, I think LITSOS may have a song or two that feels kinda weak, but I was never super into Deteriorating Incline either. Define is probably the only record that I have 0 problems with any song, but I still feel like the latter two were better.

(This started as a rant about Aaron and I lost track of what I was saying, obviously.)

 

deteriorating incline is like top 5 uo songs tho haha

 

My Deteriorating Incline fucking slaps c'mon now

 

I AM THE ANCHOR, I AM THE ANCHOR
I AM THE ANCHOR, I AM THE ANCHOR

BOUND TO MY EXISTENCE

 

lol i always thought it was bow to my existence which sounds way cooler.

 

so did I haha
