It's easy to fall into the "Matt Squire is bad" mindset (just paraphrasing to the extreme, I've rarely seen anyone say that), but I loved hearing his insight into that album too, even if I still wonder what it could have been with another person at the helm.
Right, I'm wondering if anyone can help me. Back in 2006 I remember the excitement that Underoath's Define The Great Line debuted at no.2 on the Billboard 200. It sold 98,000 copies in the first week and I remember it being a pivotal moment in my teenage years. On Wikipedia it states: However, there is no citation. I thought I would find out who beat them to No.1 as my memory was hazy. However, when I went to the Billboard 200 chart for that week, Underoath aren't anywhere... whatsoever... So I'm confused. Being in the UK, I'm not 100% sure how it works. Did they get a no.2 album or not?!
Interesting. I am even more confused at what the Billboard 200 chart is showing for that week now...! It looks like it's completely wrong. Edit: I've worked it out - looks like it didn't hit #2 until July 8th!
I've worked it out and it hit # on July 8th. Confusing as I have the release date down as mid-June and I'm sure it was from first week sales. Maybe that release date is wrong?! Either way, the world is back to normal, Underoath haven't been erased from history and I can breathe again.
I went in search of why. It would've tracked from Tuesday, June 20th through Monday, June 26th, then been reported for the following Tuesday, dated for the Saturday after that Tuesday. What a confusing method.
I wonder if they have signed or have been upstreamed to a label in the Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Group. I just purchased one of their Florida shirts and thats who the payment was directed too.
I was getting dangerously close to buying LITSOS on Discogs these last few months. Wanted this for yeeeears. 25 bucks shipped?! Fuck yea.
I may have splurged and gotten the bundle with all 3 shows and vinyls, figured they're definitely a band/set of albums I can invest getting vinyl for finally
