What can I say besides...w.o.w. I'm not sure if underOATH can outdo themselves any more. On They're Only Chasing Safety, underOATH sounds younger, like they're just beginning...which, I guess they were. Their screamo rep slowly gave way to the metalcore/screamo band we know as Lost In The Sound Of Separation. On Desparate Times, Desparate Measures, the intro actually has the sound of Showbread's Nervosa album. 

On most of the songs, they give the impression that they're  dangling precariously on the edge of a preverbial cliff. When listening, you want to turn the volume up and drown everything else out...unless you don't like hardcore screamo. During Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear, Chamberlain's gentle melody during the first half of the song is a different change from the usual screaming known to underOATH. Then the clapping and drum kicks in, and you have yourself an addictive song...and then you turn to songs such as We Are The Involuntary and Emergency Broadcast: The End Is Near, and the punishing sounds begin. On Desparate Times, Desparate Measures, you can feel the urgency, the desparation in Gillespie's voice when he sings 'Where God have I been, where have I been?'  You can imagine the panic and shame when he wakes up from his daze of sin, and realizes all the havoc  that has been shed.

I've heard some, eh, negative reviews on underOATH's new album, but I think that they are turning a new road, onto a path to greatness. Great metalcore that is.
