a change, but not a great change. decent compared to others of their ilk. it is however a JOKE that this album is now #1 on MC.

Currently the overall Metacritic score for this album is a 92. This is based on 4 reviews and my guess is that the music is too specialized to be reviewed by anyone else. I doubt Spin, Pitchfork or Rolling Stone will review a metalcore album, and even if they did, the score would be lax, rating it in relation to the genre and not to other music in general. Underoath is polarizing band, so the publications that love them, reeeeaallly love them (AP) and other publications probably consider them a joke, not worthy of reviewing on any level. From what I've hear of their music, I would agree with the latter. Simply put, if this album even slightly cracks Metacritic's year-end best, it will prove that as cool as it seems, Metacritic doesn't really work. Or at least that you can't take most of these scores seriously.

I think this album is great. I really like underoath and this just gives me more of it.

This album is very disappointing. They said it would be their "heaviest album", which is definitely not. Define the Great Line was by far their best one. Lost In The Sound Of Separation is a kind of "a weird version of DTGL" and every song sound the same.

When Metacritc gave this album a rating of 92, I thought, "this I must have". In my haste to acquire it, I committed the cardinal sin of not sampling it. Big mistake! I listened to ten tracks with increasing bewilderment and pain. What I was hearing sounded like the inchoate ramblings of a wounded gorilla. Only the final track eased my pain. I love music, all kinds of music. For me, this ain't music: it's sonic masochism!
Kevin gave it a6:
This band keeps getting better! It's a rarity these days, but over the last couple albums Underoath has continued to progress into greater complexity instead of becoming just like every other metal band. I can only hope they continue this trend.

one of the great things about underoath is that over time they expand their sound. If you like "chasing" u like their more pop stuff this stuff is deeper. Listen to the whole album. Unlike most rock bands they have a meaning
