Underoath - Erase Me (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 39

1:37-2:00 of A Divine Eradication

the one in We Are The Involuntary is pretty gnar too

 

Casting Such a Thin Shadow is their single most underrated song. That tremolo picked riff before Spencer comes in is sublime.

 

0:32-0:54 of Emergency Broadcast for me.

 

Iconic Underoath guitar riffage immediately brings to mind the opening of In Regards to Myself, but right now I'm really digging the riffs in Who Will Guard the Guardians.

 

It's probably not cool to say this on literally any forum anywhere, but that one bit in Walking Away with the fast picked acoustic guitar gets me fucking rowdy

 

Walking Away and Cries of the Past in general rip. It’s pretty much a different band but solid.

 

In Division is probably my favorite riff on Disambiguation. It's so so filthy and sludgy

 

That chorus is unreal. Spencer really came into his own on that record. Such a commanding presence.

 

I LAY IN A BED OF RESISTANCE
CHAINED TO EITHER SIDE.
I REALLY WISH I COULD
RESET. REWIND.

This band just knows how to open up records.

 

it has to start somewhere

 

Yep, 100%. I generally despise black metal, but the absolutely insane guitar and drumwork on that album draw me in every time. And Dudley is arguably the MVP with his spooky-ass keyboard noises. Not a fan of the other two Dallas albums but COTP is a forgotten treasure

 

i like black metal. they were a bad black metal band.

 

In Regards To Myself opens with the greatest riff in their discography, or at least the ones I remember off the top of my head right now

 

I’ve been living inside a hoooooooooooooole

 

As the light begins to breach the border, while I lay here alone
Aware of every step
I’m not aware at all
Black, flash white, i awake

 

I know cuz my feeet have the scaaaaaars to showwww

 

Random question, but does anyone have the stems to Illuminator?

 

Going back and browsing the artwork for LITSOS makes me really want the box set. Love the artwork for that record including these alternate covers and single covers:

 

I managed to nab one of the original LITSOS boxsets a few years ago and I love it.

 

REALLY hoping this opening track lives up to their other ones haha... The way an album opens is really important to me as a listener.

 

This is mostly unrelated and pretty petty but I was worried about the song lengths too haha but i went back and realized the last 2 records were pretty close in time so I feel better.

 

I love so many of the little details on Disambiguation like the slide guitar on In Division and the way Spencer gets cut off saying "accept defeat" for the last time on My Deteriorating Incline.

 

Chris's work on disambiguation is what makes the album so special imo. He builds an engulfing atmosphere on every track, sometimes super subtly sometimes really apparently, but it's always immersive and you just get lost in the space the songs occur in

 

Not sure why, but that little vocal break on the word "children" in the first verse of "Catch My Catching Myself" is low key one of my favorite moments on that record.

 

Confirmed the new albums going to be good
