Underoath - Erase Me (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 3

Pretty underwhelming to be completely honest. Hope it grows on me.

 

I actually dig it. The vocals sound very LITSOS to me.

 

This is pretty much exactly where I’m at too. That hook is way too poppy and prominent in the song imo.

 

cool drumming. that's all i have to say about that.

 

Kind of underwhelmed by it on first listen.

 

I think it’s pretty sick honestly lol. I don’t know if I totally love the chorus, but it’s not bad and the rest is so cool, I can tell someone in this band likes NIN. Hearing an f-bomb in an Underoath song was a... weird experience tho lol.

 

I'm yet to hear the song. Honestly the leak thread was the first time I heard they were making new music. When they got back together I was hoping it was just for shows. I don't know.

 

I’m into this song

 

Some thoughts:

Drumming was nuts.
People are saying the chorus is too poppy; I don't understand. I don't find the chorus/hook to be catchy.
Hearing Underoath drop an F bomb was weird.

 

the hook desperately needs more Aaron.

 

It’s growing on me. Honestly I didn’t initially become a fan of this band because they were the heaviest, it’s because of the way they combined heaviness with great atmosphere/melodic sensibility. And this song does bring that, despite some reservations.

 

I think the hook itself is fine, I’m just not big on the lyrics there

 

i don't get what people are saying about this chorus being "too poppy", this is nothing compared to some of their songs i've heard

i wish they went more all out with the industrial feel tbh

 

Spencer sounds absolutely amazing on that track. If a pre-order is announced today I’m throwing all my money at it.

 

the best parts about Disambig was the industrial stuff

 

Yeah, i’m not sure what the lyrics are about. Someone stabbing them in their back? That makes their life a lie? I don’t get it.

 

Album/single artwork is great

 

From that German preorder site:

 

Spencer’s no longer Christian, correct? I feel like I remember reading somewhere that that was the case for a majority of the band at this point. Anyway, if I had to guess I’d say the song is addressing that in some capacity. Probably wrong, but the “everything you believe, your life is a lie, get over it” lyric strongly gave me that impression.

 

Love the drumming and electronics. The rest, eh, not so much.

 

didn't realize craig owens was in this band now

 

last sentence here has me very excited to check this out

 

That’s what I originally thought as well but only 1 other member was hinted at being no longer Christian along with Spencer while Chris, Tim, and Grant actually go to the same church (from what I remember on the BadChristian popcast), and we know Aaron is still Christian. I don’t think lyrics would wrap around that. It sounds like it’s about someone who betrayed whoever wrote the lyrics (Spencer or Aaron).

 

It's OK, I don't love it.
