Album Review

Screamo/metalcore Warped Tour mainstays Underoath expand their sonic palettes on the blistering and occasionally majestic Define the Great Line, a mammoth production that exemplifies how far Christian metal has come since the days of Stryper and Bloodgood. On their third full-length release, the Florida-based rockers have found the delicate middle ground between throat-shredding grindcore and My Chemical Romance/From Autumn to Ashes-style emo-punk, utilizing the highly flexible voice of Spencer Chamberlain as a compass for both melody and cacophony. Define the Great Line is bookended by its best cuts, the rousing "In Regards to Myself" and the epic closer, "To Whom It May Concern." Both exemplify the group's newfound confidence in the studio and introduce a real progressive bent to both the production and the overall arrangements. While Underoath explore their faith with both reverence (the monastic "Salmarnir") and suspicion ("There Could Be Nothing After This"), something that sets them apart from the polarizing righteousness of many CCM acts, their crossover potential remains huge, as the prevailing themes of isolation, anger, introspection, and the quest for self-confidence are universal.

The record musician's dream to write

I, personally, feel like this album kickstarted the metal scene into what it is today. UØ is respected above all other bands in the scene and this is why. Authenticity.

Very rarely will you find 6 guys who all analyze music as much as these guys do. They know exactly what they are doing and made this probably one of the strongest records of all time. Kudos.

Work of art

Most influential album in my life. I encourage you to listen to the album straight through and actually take time to read the lyrics if you can't understand them all. It starts out with a fast paced "Wake up! Wake up, my God! This is not a test!" and ends with a more resolved "At the end of the road you'll find what you've been longing for." with an entire journey between. It's truly a work of art that, in some ways, I don't think anyone, even Underoath, could ever top.

they have done it again!!

this is there best album yet!! everyone who likes screemo should get!!

JUST AWESOME!!!

Since their inception, Florida's Underoath have evolved from a run-of-the-mill Christian metalcore band into a fluid, dynamic, and energized rock group that adeptly blends emotive melody, charged punk rock rhythms, and a chunky, engaging bottom end. Underoath formed in 1998 in vocalist Dallas Taylor's bedroom. Within a year, the group — with guitarist Tim McTague, drummer Aaron Gillespie, and keyboardist Christopher Dudley — had inked a deal with Alabama's Takehold record label. In July...
