Underoath Band • Page 77

disambiguation is an all timer in terms of just general importance and impact on my entire life

 

Disambiguation
DTGL
LITSOS
Chasing Safety
Erase Me

I don’t listen to anything pre- Chasing Safety

 

It’s always a toss up between Disambiguation and LITSOS for the top spot depending on my mood. This week I’m going with:

Disambiguation > LITSOS > DTGL > Erase Me > TOCS > TCOT

 

Lit Sauce and Ø are numbers 2 and 3 for me for sure, but DTGL just really has a special place in my heart that makes it hard for me to put it anywhere besides the top

 

I started with The Changing of Times and I’ll always love that record, but it might as well be a different band (except for When the Sun Sleeps which still rules).

 

lmao I love "Lit Sauce"

I still really like The Changing of Times. Maylene had some serious bangers too

 

It really bums me out they aren't on Spotify (anymore?)

 

Ø Disambiguation
Define The Great Line
Lost In The Sound Of Separation
They're Only Chasing Safety
Erase Me
The Changing Of Times
Cries Of The Past
Act Of Depression

Adding the first two albums as I recently revisited them and, after countless tries, that was my first time appreciating what I was hearing. I would also revisit Erase Me over TOCS. Even though the latter is much better, this isn't a sound I gravitate towards these days. The Changing Of Times is definitely underrated, Angel Below's intro always gets me so pumped up.

edit: Thinking about it, I might put Erase Me below The Changing Of Times instead, I also have so much nostalgia for that album.

 

TOCS
Ø
Define
Lost

I dunno where Erase Me goes, I haven't given it a ton of listens, but probably somewhere in the middle

pre-TOCS stuff at the bottom though, no question

 

I don't know what it is, but I thought Dallas was terrible with Underoath but I love me some Maylene, I guess I think their style just works much better for his voice or he just became a better vocalist

 

he def improved a lot, his Underoath screaming was so one-note but he had a lot more range on Maylene. couldn't believe how good his cleans were too

echoing that "Angel Below" is a banger

 

The sauce is lit or you’re lost in the sauce? I could see either working here.

 

TOCS isn’t very good

 

I used to like it when it was first released and I was in high school. Now, I can't even listen to it.

 

Happy 13th anniversary to both my favorite Underoath album and my favorite song of their entire catalog.

 

Every time I think I love a different Underoath album, LITSOS still pulls me in close and whispers "you sure about that?".

I think DTGL holds their best songs individually, but LITSOS is just so well-rounded as a whole and flows so effortlessly as an album.

 

they're only chasing safety is actually very very good

 

TOCS and Define are the only two I actually go out of my way to listen to. And it's generally just TOCS.

 

DTGL is my favorite, but LITSOS is a very close second.

 

UPDATE: I finally got my two replacements. Took 4 months from the time I emailed them about it. I'd actually forgotten about them, and we moved since then. USPS came to the door stating we owed an additional $10 in shipping for something, and I was confused. Postman had to take it back to the post office and I had to pick it back up the next day. Apparently the shipping they chose didn't include forwarded mail. Anyways, happy to have the replacements at last.

 

While looking up the Observatory livestreams, I stumbled upon this Rock Am Ring set from 2019 I had never seen before. Probably the only proshot one we've got for many Erase Me cuts.

Rock Am Ring 2019

1:49 — «On My Teeth»
5:27 — «Rapture»
9:50 – «It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door»
14:53 – «Hold Your Breath»
18:39 – «Ihateit»
22:37 – «Breathing In А New Mentality»
26:20 – «No Frame»
31:40 – «Writing on the Walls»
36:27 – «Sink With You»

 

Oh wow - yeah they only played On My Teeth and No Frame on this current tour when I saw them in SF

 

I am so glad they kept No Frame. It is by far my favorite Erase Me song and it is such a good curveball in the setlist. They did a radio rock festival in Central Wisconsin and there was torrential downpour mid set list. The rain came right when the song goes nuts with screams and synth. They finished the song and the fest cut all sound. It was one of my favorite UO live moments ever.

I would love an album with Tim and Chris way overstepping with their influences the same way Erase Me was Aaron and Spencer running wild with their impulses. Give me 10 No Frame style songs. Tim living out his EDM DJ dreams every time they play No Frame live.
