Underoath

They're Only Chasing Safety

511 reviews

I will start by saying I liked this band better when they played black metal. I will also say that this EP is a regression from their last release, which was a regression from their last release. MY guess is they're trying to get paid, which I can't say I blame them for, if you had a chance to make more money doing something you love, then go for it. Even though their genre ( and if someone calls them screamo I'm going to lose it.) is still completely different then what they started at, they still stand worlds above the other bands similar to them. And I will stick by my opinion that the singer has a good singing voice. But my big beef is: if you're going to have clean vocals.... stop fucking screaming. That's pretty much all I have to say about this.

Hahaha@Underoath playing black metal. Having black metal elements in their music didn't make them a black metal band.

They fucking suck.

Wait a minute here wait...... They played Black Metal? Since when? Aren't they a Christian band?

I agree that they have been going downhill, but I'm still gonna check this out hopefully

Their first 2 releases. Where were you? Oh yea probably not hoping the trend just yet.

Anyway, it's not black metal because they are xtian. That's like an oxymoron, but those 2 releases were still pretty good.

they were black metal? Did they dress up like Emperor and King Diamond?

GnarWill

5/19/2004 7:41:00 PM

Like steve said, they never really played black metal, but the first two were solid albums

um, I like what I have heard so far... but, money is deffinetly an issue on this album... I thought they were a terrible black metal band

commack matt

5/19/2004 7:47:00 PM

I saw Underoath, and while I dont usually like screamo type stuff, I have to say they blew me away, the performance at least

Cory Monster

I.AM...and.we.danced

5/19/2004 11:30:00 PM

you know what, these guys are really cool people and they do what they love. many people are hating them because they are a christian band and it's "cool" to worship satan. yeah, they may have changed their music style and disappointed many hardcore fans, but when was the last time you got a record deal and landed a spot on mtv?

WTF, King Diamond is not black metal at all.

I know, but the way he dresses looks black metal

commack matt

5/20/2004 12:04:00 AM

A lot of people don't like worshipping anything. They think that both Jesus and Satan are bad. Just becuase they hate Jesus doesn't mean they love Satan

i agree with the screaming thing.
it ruins their music......SING for god's sake.......i hate when emo bands scream.

they got queer.. they sounded bad live inw-b
but they also has sex with 10 yr old females so that's cool in my book..

chesty larue

5/20/2004 12:01:00 PM

the only song ive heard off this is the young and aspiring, and it's not that bad, but it's definitly not as good as their older more metal stuff

"Christian black metal" - click here for link - this is my friend's band from panama. they're insane.

Can't wait to hear this. I don't have a problem with the scream/sing combo. Killswitch pulls it off fine.

RICK OC

5/21/2004 11:30:00 PM

they were almost cool when they first started and ever albumn gets gayer and more cliche each time they should of quite awhile ago

they have degressed ever since tim joined the band. they just want to make $$$$$4.

Cruz

5/22/2004 4:07:00 PM

Man all this "they just wanna make money". Wouldn't you want to doing something you love doing? Plus bands like this don't make much money so they need all the bucks they can get. And this whole Chritsian Black Metal thing, it shouldn't fuckin' exist. The word "Black" in Black Metal describes that fact that it's overly fuckin evil and apocalyptic, like "Black" Magic, and the "Black" Arts. If youre gonna sing about Jesus, God or peace, u gotta sing about destroying it. That's what Power Metal is for, slaying dragons and demons and shit. And bands like Burzum, Bathory, Cradle, Dimmu, Marduk, are the dragons and demons trying to destroy peace.

allislove

5/22/2004 4:27:00 PM

cries of the past is still a great album....i don't like their new stuff.

"i know what the fuck black metal is. their old shit was black metal influenced hardcore. suck a dick" I wasn't trying to fuckin offend you. Fuck. It's just this whole Christian Black Metal shit doesn't make sense to me.

BatsOnTheDancefloor

5/23/2004 5:51:00 PM

First of all Underoath was never BLACK METAL...what the fuck are you thinking?? Second of all, they are getting worse and worse. Far too emo. I did like seeing them live but that was a while ago. I can safely say they are piss poor crybaby emo now.

Phil Dougherty

5/23/2004 5:58:00 PM

this new stuff just isnt 'underoath' anymore.

stranglefuck

5/23/2004 7:18:00 PM

you really cant hate on them.They were awesome with Dallas, and they are still good now.Its just that people cant understand the insane tranzition between members of the band.Basically this is Underoath gone Tooth and Nail.Amen.

5/25/2004 4:08:00 PM

when i saw them in pittsburgh two years ago i thought they were awesome. it was a great show zao and unearth were definatly better but i thought these guys were pretty good. the changing of times was a fairly good cd in my opinion. how does this one sound in comparison?

Their old drummer, Will, did sing on the first CD, and that's why the singing on The Silent Circus is so shitty, since he isn't on that CD.

Man steve we always seem to find something to bicker about...and the singing on silent circus is good...and they share vocals on s/t

i myself like they're only chasing safety better. but there is a big difference between it and cries of the past so i can see how people say that they have degressed

Metal til Im sixty

6/2/2004 11:00:00 PM

There old stuff rocks, it's some seriously bad ass stuff. However, this album is catchy as hell, and I happen to like it. As good as their old stuff? No way. Good in it's own right and if not compared to their older stuff? Yes.

7/1/2004 8:17:00 AM

This is a good CD. Not as impressing as their last efforts but I still have a heart for this kind of stuff. They do it better than bands that sound like them.(I don't wanna say screamo).

denverskies

7/1/2004 8:24:00 AM

you can't really compare the two cd's... they're too entirely diffrent.... some could say they're changing to jump on the 'screamo' bandwagon, but i think it shows a lot of progress. That, and Dallas has gotta be losing his voice by new.... always gotta switch out for fresh screamers.

UNDEROATH CAN KICK ASS WHETHER THEY PLAY DEATH METAL, ROCK, MELODIC HARDCORE OR BLUES. WATEVA THEY DO THEY DO IT RIGHT. I'M SURE THERE IN IT FOR BOTH THE MONEY AND THE MUSIC. BUT THINK ABOUT IT, WOULD'NT U BE TOO IF YOU HAD BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS THEY HAVE AND GOTTEN NO WHERE. ATELAST THEY FOUND MUSIC THEY LIKE TO PLAY, HAVE FUN DOIN IT AND NOW MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF IT. KEEP KICKIN ASS.

i think underoath still rocks.... yeah they kinda degressed in their music, but they're making albums with a record company and quite frankly they have the power to do anything they wanna... and um...about that "thats what GOD will do to you" post.. haha, i laughed my butt off at that... just because it was the stupidest thing i've heard all...actually it's just the stupidest thing i've heard. ever think that maybe GOD put them there in the first place or are you scared to actually believe in something like that?
