Underoath - Voyeurist (January 14, 2022) Album • Page 32

this is, fine? maybe it will grow on me.

 

I can’t get over how good this is. “We’re All Gonna Die” might be my new favorite Underoath song. Glad I’m working from home, because I literally had to stand up and dance about halfway through it lol

 

Definitely a different sound than Erase Me.

 

they are…… pretty bad haha

 

Haven't listened to Underoath since Disambiguation, but just listened to Voyeurist all the way through.

What a headtrip. Hot damn.

 

man maybe the traffic noise on my run this morning affected my first listen, but this did absolutely nothing for me.

 

I wonder when they'll send the download links for the digital ghost stream

 

just finished my first listen, loved this. i liked a lot of what they were doing on erase me, but this is wayyy better. lyrics don't bother me, but i guess i've never really listened to underoath for their lyrics.

 

Good after first listen. Pneumonia was definitely a highlight

 

Definitely my favorite track on first listen.

 

This is definitely not hitting for me the way I expected/wanted it to. I appreciate the experimentation and dynamics of the sound itself, but I found myself full on cringing at a lot of the lyrics to the extent that it straight up pulled me out of the songs. While I don’t love Erase Me, I didn’t even have that averse a reaction to the writing on that one.

I’ll spend some more time with it, for sure, but I think that was just about the most disappointing first listen from a band I love in a long time.

Glad people are loving it, though, for sure.

 

i like most the songs the released before the album

 

I've listened to this so so so so many times over the past few months and it never gets old. Just an incredible album from these dudes.

 

"Well look who's dying now
Slit wrists sleeping with the girl next door"

yup. checks out. haha

 

i actually like the lyrics idk

it does feel like they've been making up for not saying "fuck" for twenty years or whatev but otherwise i feel like this record is as direct and angry as it should be

 

i promise this isnt snarky but it should go without saying that maturity and age go pretty hand in hand

 

I'm 34. So trust me, my 16 year old self was all about it at the time lol. I was just making a joke about the lyrics.

 

this is definitely good, which is more than I could say for Erase Me

feel like it could use one more explorative track ala "I'm Pretty Sure..." in the middle there to round out the tracklist, that one's probably my fav

 

I think it's still 4/4 they are just accentuating the off beats.

 

lol it applies to the artist too!

 

I have no issues with lyrics on this thing. My issue is with some of the production choices lol

 

Really strong record though - wouldn’t cut a single track.

 

You think the follow up to this will be more reconciliatory re: Christianity? If so that would be a pretty interesting trilogy of albums concept

 

some of the guitar tones go for that detune and scooped djenty sound. never been a fan of that stuff. Cycle is the best example of it here.

 

i mean, i'll be completely honest, i have never considered underoath lyrics to be good with the exception being large chunks of LITSOS and Disambiguation. but the lyrics on all their other stuff are extremely bad to me, and while i wouldn't say the lyrics here are necessarily great, they're definitely not as bad as they were on erase me, define the great line, or they're only chasing safety, the latter two of which are so steeped in mid aughts one liners that the scene was addicted to its hard to imagine anyone thinks they're good in 2022 (not that i dont like the albums). i guess theyve never been a band i go to for deep lyrical insight, with disambiguation being a clear exception, and even that was more time and place i was at when i heard it that made it connect more.
