 (65 Customer Reviews)
Any listener still under the impression that Christian music is strictly light and positive need only listen to a few moments of Underoath's THEY'RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY before realizing that the Lord works in mysterious, and in this case, uncompromisingly rocked-out, ways. The first and most obvious clue that indicates a break with the original CCM soft-pop sound is frontman Spencer Chamberlain's throat-shredding vocal style. With most lyrics emitted in a manner more reminiscent of Morbid Angel than Margaret Becker, the singer makes even Christian-metal masters Pillar and P.O.D. sound tame in comparison. The remaining members of Underoath deal in powerfully direct emo-core, replete with dissonant guitar chords, hyper-speed drumming, and complex rhythmic patterns. Even close examination of THEY'RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY's lyric sheet provides few obvious signs of the band's religious inclinations. That said, the intensity with which Underoath imbues its music is a perfect reflection of the unwavering commitment necessary for an active faith.
Underoath: Spencer Chamberlain (vocals); James Smith, Timothy McTague (guitar); Christopher Dudley (keyboards); Grant Brandell (bass guitar); Aaron Gillespie (drums, background vocals).

pretty good for that type of music. But not metal anymore that sucks. I mean punk/alternate/metal. I like dallas taylor more.

One of the greatest
This cd was one of the greatest cd's that my generations poor attempt at music has created. It my have been a dramatic switch from Act Of Depression, but that just goes to show you how musically talented they are. They can entrap all kinds of fans because of how much they love music. This cd is one of the first cd's that inspired me to listen to other great artists. Underoath, in my opinion, was ultimately the beginning of the incredible music scene that we will all be in for a long time.

Worst of all of their albums
Although this album cant really be compared to Changing of Times, Act of Depression, or Cries of the Past, it is no where as close to as good, or as melodic as the afore mentioned albums. This cd did not take much talent to make, the only reason they changed to Pop/Hardcore is because that scene is HUGE right now.
However, their new album, Define the Great Line, is a good, melodic, stright up metalcore album, although i would love to hear more breakdowns.
But, by far, They're only Chasing Safety is UO's worst album that they created, although it may have been the smartest.

Since the early 2000s, what's now known as post-hardcore has been consistently codified into something eminently marketable. Screaming bloody murder over churning angular guitars has suddenly salable qualities, as long as the rage is offset by whimpering pianos and heart-flailing harmonies. This systemization isn't necessarily bad, as the groups it affects often make very arresting music. But that doesn't mean the formula itself isn't questionable. In 2004 From First to Last unleashes its first full-length via Epitaph, after debuting with an EP for ...

TREASURE BOX is a collection of rarities by singer Marc Almond, the man best known for his work with the new wave act Soft Cell.
The digitally remastered edition comes with new sleevenotes and packaging.
As Virgin did with the many B-sides and rarities from Almond's days with them, so too did EMI some years later, compiling an intriguing variety of tracks -- 25 all told -- for the ease of shopping by the hardcore Almond fan. Unlike the frequently brilliant Virgin's Tale collections, however, this two-disc compilation sounds far more scattershot for two reasons. First, the increasing commercial sheen of Almond's work during this time rendered a fair amount of the songs far less musically ...
