Could just all be hearsay.

ha i missed that part

They're Only Chasing Safety was solid and put them on top of the world. However, they've progressed greatly since then and in my opinion, get better with every album. Disambiguation is so raw, the drum work is better than anything Aaron ever did and Spencer surprised me with the vocals. Excited to see how they fair on the next album.

THIS.

I know. I was referring to the actual songs themselves. People seem to love to complain about them not having any original members, then say something like "TOCS and DTGL were their best!" I just think that's stupid considering the drums are the only thing on those albums played by an original member. I think people just ditched Underoath once Aaron was out of the picture because Underoath dropped the whole "scene" image with him.

I love that you love those albums but seriously define the great line is easily their masterpiece. Period.

I dunno man. I actually think there in their prime now. Disambiguation is probably their second best record.

My main problem with LITSOS the sequencing which is the biggest boner kill for me if its off. The 3 most brutal in your face songs are in the front in a row and then the middle is a little more droney and it picks up a bit before finishing with the two softest songs. I'm not saying I don't like their slower paced material, I just think that record would've stuck with me if sequenced differently.

I will agree with you that the drums done by aaron are much better but the singing by spencer fits the band way better.

I've actually thought similar things but never really wrote it out. I think the songs are their best but other than the first song and the last song being correctly placed, the middle wasn't really sequenced as well as it could have been.

There's quite a few albums I've thought about re-sequencing but haven't really done it.

Also, I think the album would've done better commercially if "A Fault Line, A Fault Of Mine" was a single. That's one of the catchiest songs they've ever written, and one of my favorites.

That's my favorite song on the album. Track 1 and 11 are great where they are but the rest should've been shuffled around better. I love every song on the album but it just kind of hurt the flow of the record for me.

sorry dude, but I had to get back at this. I don't want to say, I told you so, but yeah in the recent years, they weren't the same...
