Underoath - Erase Me (April 6, 2018) Album • Page 83

Some of these songs are fucking silly

 

The lyrics seemed very straightforward and a bit average from what I've heard.

 

Potential hot take I guess but I’ve never felt like Underoath has been a particularly lyrical band... they always capture the mood that they’re going for though and I feel like they did that here, it’s just a different mood than on their previous albums.

 

The lyrics on this are really quite something, that's for sure

 

there's little to nothing here for fans of the old work.. a couple of breakdowns and the vocals are obviously Spencer and Aaron.. other than that this is a completely different band. Should bring in a lot of new fans to replace the old ones that they lose tho.

 

Teebs, do you listen to any other metal bands?

 

I've been binging Architects for the past week, so this has been a nice change of pace

 

i don’t listen to leaks, go to church

 

yea there's nothing poetic here. but the stuff he's singing about is definitely really relatable.. again on a pop album the lyrics don't need to be super deep its more about connecting with people which I think this album will, just maybe not people who liked them in the past.

 

my dude they’re the same band

 

Wake Me is way better than Rapture, very catchy verses. :Shrug:

 

I've mostly listened to metalcore.. but yea I'm no expert in metal at all...in fact I would say that I really don't know much about the grenre TBH.. I love Norma Jean and The Chariot. But it sort of stops there. And obviously Underoath is a top 10 band all time for me.

 

Man, I thought Wake Me was bad, but now I'm listening to No Frame and oh boy

 

Weird to hear “No Frame” hate. That one feels very old fan favorite-y. Little Deftones flavor.

 

it was my favorite song so.. haha

 

Expected to get my preorder on the 7th :/

Holding off listening to anything else until release day

 

Sink With You is a pretty solid song. I really like the verses and bridge in Ihateit, but very generic chorus. I definitely can see why people dislike the choruses on this album.

I guess I'm weird for liking Wake Me though, lol. Again, pretty uninteresting choruses in that one though. It's weird how much better the verses are in this album.

Overall, pretty generic sound so far. My girlfriend thinks it feels like a more generic version of BMTH's old albums. Hoping this back half is better.

 

It’s a good tune. The back half of the album is strong.

 

Oh shiiit, really dig Hold Your Breath

 

Yeah, I mean, I don't understand how people can make out every lyric in a metalcore song without reading along with them, anyways. I've listened to TOCS and DTGL quite a lot but definitely do not know all the lyrics to the vast majority of their songs. It was always the emotion and sound behind them that I loved.

 

I'm hoping this is an At The Drive In situation where I enjoyed the comeback album even if most fans didn't

 

That tinge of Squire’s TREOS influence on “It Has to Start Somewhere” is real sexy

 

It worked for the two Underoath albums I mentioned and I’m assuming for the other people here who are still Underoath fans and enjoy their albums after being 50/50 with them from the start. We’re not bringing up random albums that are not relevant to an Underoath thread.

 

There’s a lot of Phrygian major on this album...
Yea that comments gonna piss someone off

 

I’ll probably download it later this evening because I’m impatient and don’t want to wait almost a week for the Apple Music release.
