Underoath - Voyeurist (January 14, 2022) Album • Page 108

Because it's more interesting if it isn't.

 

This song is indeed very polarizing. Still loving it a few listens in.

 

if i thought it was well executed i'd agree

 

I've listened to it twice now, second listen made me grow on it more but I do agree that the production drags it down. Especially on the heavier parts.

 

I played this a few more times at the gym and I’m 100% on the hype train. I understand the backlash but I love how weird they’re getting.

 

This feels like the kind of track that I would have never recommended as a single. If I heard this in the middle of an album I wouldn’t have noticed - I think I’ll probably enjoy it more in the context of the album.

 

Went back to a couple of interviews spencer has done recently with the context of this new song and I am so hyped for what is likely to be a wild full length.

 

I dunno, I think like what if “driftwood” was a single and come up with “that song is a million times better than this song and wouldn’t have made me worried whatsoever”

 

For whatever reason when Vouyerist came out it just didn’t resonate with me. Been a die hard for many years and I only got a handful of plays in and hadn’t gone back. Just did a listen and this record is great. It’s a mood album for sure. Has some of Aaron’s best choruses. Damn Excuses, Hallelujah, Thorn, and Pneumonia are amazing. Kind of wild playing a record that’s been out a couple of years and feeling like it’s brand new. It’s a bridge album and i’m very glad they went back to working with a producer. Stoked to revisit this one and get more familiar with it. been on a deep dive since the new single dropped.

 

This song is sick imo

 

Voyeurist as a whole did not have the lasting power I had hoped it would but the great songs on it are extremely great, like Thorn

 

confirmed sucks on spotify too

 

Surprising with a username like that

 

Reminds me of the first time I heard b+c for a walk. Just have no idea what to think out of context.

 

The heavy part is pleading for some guitar crunch but it sounds hollow as hell.

 

This song reminds me of Bilmuri at times.

 

Listening more, I feel like I would like it so much more if Spencer wasn't doing cleans at all. The Aaron part is so catchy and its really well where Spencers just feels off. If they added more of the heavier parts instead of that I think I would be vibing a lot more.

 

i think spencer melds better as the song goes on but his first few intro verses are my least favorite part. his voice just doesn't work with melodic, poppy styles at all but the man clearly loves doing it.

 

I love the way he sounds on the second part of his verses, where he’s yelling a bit more

 

Seconded, when it comes to his cleans I prefer him in full ethereal, Chino mode like in most of Disambiguation or Hallelujah's second verse

 

I’ve always felt like Spencer should just stick with the harsher vocals and let Aaron do cleans. Feels bad saying that, but their best songs kinda prove that for me.

 

hard agree.

 

Spencer's cleans are fantastic, agree that Disambiguation's style was my favorite but I also really like him on this track. This new song is quickly climbing into my favorite tracks of the year, the heavy part gets stuck in my head all the time.

 

We need a disambiguation 10 year tour. (LITSOS too would be icing on cake)
