Underoath - Ø (Disambiguation) - Release Date - November 9, 2010

Well. This is unusual. Underoath released their seventh studio album late last year and this was the band's first work produced without any of the original band members. After consideration of this band's past, it's not all that unbelievable. They have been adding and dropping members quite frequently since their debut in 1999. There is still somehow this essence about the record, fans would still be able to know that this is an Underoath album. "Ø (Disambiguation)" is noteably darker and a little more intense. This is most prevalent on the drums and vocals, well the vocals are always intense, however this work features "clean" lyrics. There also is a different drummer, and needless to say different drums. Replacing the only founding member remaining, Daniel Davison's style is a little more obnoxious, but coupled with the instrumentals, comes off as dramatic, and sort of darkly haunting. Things slow down halfway through with "Driftwood". It's an ambience track, and a nice interlude to the chaotic tone before and after it. They've used this technique on past works as well. This band is like an onion of sorts, and they keep peeling back layers. They're interesting, regardless of whether you like their music or not.
