Disco de Underoath: “Define the Great Line”
 Descripción (en inglés) :
Underoath: Chris Dudley, Tim McTague, James Smith, Spencer Chamberlain, Grant Brandell, Aaron Gillespie.
<p>Recording information: Zing Recording, Westfield, Massachussetts.
<p>After overcoming some critical personal shakeups to produce 2004's excellent THEY'RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY, Florida's Underoath fulfilled the immense expectations set by that album--to transcend their audience's demands and still uphold their Christian metal roots--with 2006's DEFINE THE GREAT LINE. The Band undertakes this follow-up effort with such unbending ferocity that they leave most of their pop/screamo contemporaries in the dust. Vocalist Spencer Chamberlain removes himself from the sugary trappings of his brethren frontmen, gracing even his melodic passages with the angst and chaos that underline his more lungbusting turns. The band behind him has learned enough lessons from legitimate, vinyl-only, handmade-sleeve '90s screamo to make more learned listeners realize that these guys are as close to the real deal as anyone. Combining bracing melodies with unchecked aggression, Underoath may have made the defining album of the movement with DEFINE THE GREAT LINE.

- A total turn around...great stuff
only chasing saftey (the previous record) was decent but it was way to screamo and poppy. Here, they go back towards more of their old sound of metal. The vocals have improved greatly, sometimes getting deep throated. THe guitars have a great crunch with some killer riffs. It's just totally sounds like a different band. If you don't like underoath or hated their last cd, then give this one a shot. It's one of the best albums of the year. 1 personas de un total de 1 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Underoath: Define the Great Line
The quality of this album exceeds 5 stars. Anyone ranking lower simply doesn't enjoy the album, and perhaps that is the more important thing. In order for you to enjoy this album, you must really love great metal vocals. Spencer Chamberlain belts out the most wicked, brutal, epically spine-tingling growls I have ever heard. The production is bar-none and makes you feel as if Spencer is sitting right by you screaming into your ears. If you are not one that enjoys this, buyer beware. But if you seek such a thing, this album is for you.
Aside from the vocals, the music is incredible! There is nothing that comes close to this quality of music in today's metalcore scene. Nothing about the album is cheesy. It is fresh, original, and utterly superb. The drum-work is mind blowing. The guitar-work is excellent. The songwriting is perhaps as perfect as it gets in music. But, if you are looking for catchy choruses and feel-good sing-alongs then turn away now. Such an Underoath album would be They're Only Chasing Safety (which is also great, but very different). Define the Great Line is darker, meaner, and stronger.
Absolutely, Undeniably, Inextricably Epic.

- Underoath Meets Blindside's "Silence"
The first thing I noticed with this album, (other than this being a new album with songs that I'd never heard before) was that it was mixed by Chris Lord-Alge. This means it's going to have amazingly full, booming bass and the effects on instruments and vocals are going to be proper and fit beautifully. What it also means is that it's going to sound like everything else that he's mixed. Note the title of this review. Right at the first song, I thought it sounded precicely like Silence. The general sound of the guitars and drums sounded exactly like Christian and them had never gone out of the studio. This isn't to say that the songs' keys/riffs sound similar, as Underoath still has it when it comes to playing notes. If this is your first Underoath CD and you're expecting more of the same sound on their older albums, you're going to be disappointed. Their other albums don't sound as 'deep' as this does, what with the bass sounding like it's coming from a monster 12' underground.
This is a decent album if this is your first ride with Underoath. Just don't expect their older stuff to be the same. (Should you decide to pick them up. Highly suggested, personally.)
Support great music. Buy this.

- Sweet!!
Whoa! This one is very different from the punk/pop/screamo T.O.C.S. From the very first song you can tell this is more of a Screamo only album. I loved the sound they brought to the table off of their previous release, but this album rocks way harder. It's SICK! For any other band 5 stars, but for the amazing Underoath 4 stars. - ridiculous!!!
This cd is absolutely ridiculous from beginning to end...Every song is unique and the album flow is awesome!!! This is 10 stars out of 5!! |
