how do kids eat this band up? mediocre instrumental, shitty vocals
...i got through half the first song on the new cd and decided the beginning sounded like any local screamo/hardcore band, so I switched back to listening to mastodon

im not really that into it but i think they do what they do very well. spencer does his lows very well and i think the songs are a welcomed change slightly back.
he actually has a pretty decent voice.
and you can't fault them for sounding similar to most scene bands out there because a majority of them emulated underoath.

aarons voice is very pretty and spencers screaming has gotten much better I think, on this new stuff.

I really can't wait for this CD to come out on my birthday. the mastered version is going to be amazing.

Wes, you are an ignorant moron to say the least.
Mediocre instrumental and crappy vocals.
Both Spencer and Aaron show a tremendous range, if you weren't such a prick and would listen past the 1st song you'd understand that.
Mastodon is ok, their lead singer a is rapist.
Which completely forgeits any support I'd be given them

I'm not listening to it though a few friends have it.
I don't think i'll be in love with it like I was for TOCS since my music tastes have changed somewhat, but I still think they do what they do very well (unlike My American Heart, The Recieving End of Sirens etc)

Underoath own, the new record is so much better, I love the progression. It looks to be a contender for album of the year so far. And the vocals are great not that Spencer has learnt how to scream.

HAHA.. wow, I didnt know we couldnt have opinions here.... You're the one that looks like an idiot here coming out and namecalling, and I do think their vocals suck. The screaming is terrible.
...but its not even worth arguing with someone that thinks UnderOATH is so great but then will call Mastodon "just ok"
Wait for a decent quality version before you judge.

This was an interesting comment.
I agree, he does the low vocals really well. They are a bit harder then the past cd, he shows off his vocal range that I know he has.
I've given up trying to persuade people to recognize the unoriginality of bands that are "hip" and for the most part, I like them. But I don't praise a single one. My avatar explains that all.
And if someone says I praise Alkaline Trio. It's true, I do. But they aren't like a single band out there today, disregarding their image, and image doesn't mean a damn thing when they put out the music they do.
With all that said, I will buy the new underOath and I probably will like it.

The one thing that I can see is that it fades out at the end, like 90% of the cds out there.
To be a great record in my eyes, you've gotta have every single track to have lasting power. Some are allowed to be better then others, but you've just gotta be impressed by even the dull tracks.
The new underOath doesn't have that. The first 5 songs are the best, so it fits in with the rest of the 90% that's out there.
An early review, I give it a "B". But I may warm up to it, and if I don't. A "B" isn't bad in the first place, infact it's good. I enjoy the vocal range a lot in this record.

I kinda agree, I'd give it probably a B+, it's not the best album, but still a fantastic record. One of the best so far this year.

I don't like Norma Jean, therefore, I don't like bands that rip off Norma Jean like UO does in this album.
Underoath is the one time I think I'd actually say that I prefer a band to be poppy.

I think its called ripping off Botch, not Norma Jean, considering the last Norma Jean album is pretty much We Are the Romans shitty version

The key phrase is "shitty version". Botch is pretty sweet. Norma Jean? not so much.

the instrumentals are watered down and unoriginal, their vocals are nothing special, and you cant throw numbers out like listen to it six times first, I think the cd sucked, so therefore it got 1 listen
if you "understood what underoath was about".. pfff give me a break

there are tons of CD's i hated the first time i listened to (volcanoes, north, doppleganger) but some just take time. i think you should give it a better chance.

I think I will listen to it 3 more times so I can "get" this generic piece of trash.
it's a shame because I went and saw UO twice my freshman year of college and loved the shit out of their show. Now I basically passed up free tickets.
