Editorial Reviews

In 2002, Underoath released The Changing of Times. Not only was this record a huge success but it also foreshadowed the changes to come in the band. Before recording the follow-up, not only did they lose two key members but they also lost their lead vocalist. But after a short hiatus, they have emerged with their strongest effort to date, They're Only Chasing Safety. They're Only Chasing Safety kicks off with 'Young and Aspiring', which sets the concept that this will not be another cliche hard rock album. Overall, They're Only Chasing Safety is Underoath's finest effort to date. Mixing hardcore elements with explosive vocals and passionate lyrics, this album deserves all the hype it has received. This could possibly be the best hard rock record to come out this year, and deserves a listen from all hard rock fans. Tooth & Nail. 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Stuff This Time Around, October 14, 2005

The new stuff on this cd is very good. You get "I've got 10 Friends" and some other remixes/alternative takes of songs all ready on the album. You get the bonus dvd which is the main thing you should be buying this album for. It has a crap load of features from like every tour they have been on for the past year, and it has them doing a bunch of stupid stuff. I respect these guys even more, watching their dvd, and understanding more about their faith. I give it 4.5 stars because it is still a cd that is all ready been out, and the last three songs, aren't exactly new songs. I've seen this band live once and I'm going to see them again in a month, and they are great live. To that dude below me a couple of reviews, dude chill out and quit complaining. I have been waiting for their new cd since Their Only Chasing Safety came out and I listened to it hundreds of times. I'm sure all the fans are very anxious about hearing the new cd, but give it time. If they rushed into the studio, then the new record would not be as good, and then you would complain about how much it sucks. So do what the rest of us are doing and wait until the new album comes out in spring. For now, enjoy the extra stuff and quit acting like a spoiled brat, who gets whatever they want. The band does not revolve around what you want, they are their own individuals, let the artist decide when to be ready to make the new album. It's people like you who piss me off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underoath at its greatist (w/o dallas), October 4, 2005

There is no band out there like Underoath, plain and simple. They like to reinforce this obviously with this release. Now, some people might be confused/mad/scared/depressed ect..when they find out how familiar the new songs are. 10 friends was leak a long time ago and the others are just "remixes", if you will, to other songs on the album. The real jem on this CD is the hours of footage of Underoath and their concerts. For me, it's worth getting the S.E. just for this. Any hardcore or screamo fan should get this CD, ESPECAILY if you don't have the orignial.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, November 7, 2005

This review is from: They're Only Chasing Safety (Audio CD)

While this CD is technically old material, it's still great. I never actually owned the original, just borrowed it a lot, so I went ahead and picked the new version up. The bonus tracks aren't really worth the money if you have the original, though the DVD might be. Underoath is a very talented band and manages to put out unique and accomplished music in an overdone genre. For everyone complaining about double dipping and all that crap, if you have the original and don't care about the DVD, then just DON'T BUY this CD! It's that simple. Stop whining and complaining, you have the choice to but this CD or not, that's how capitalism works
