Underoath - Erase Me (First NEW Album in 8 years)

Underoath are back, and as would be expected in the first couple lines of the song, they shed their Christian image

Their was a lot of behind the scences controversy, and some of you may have heard it

Anyway pre-orders here: http://underoath777.com/

Cool song, I really got into it, but disappointing at the same time for reasons you mentioned.

Marginally curious about where the lyrics fornthe full album lead.....but I haven't had any serious interest in these guys since the Cries of the Past days.

Just looking at I-tunes, there are 2 other Explicit songs, other than this one

They are probably just other F-bombs honestly, but other than that, the behind the scenes stuff in short is that Spencer, their front man, has never been a Christian, so if he is writing a lot of the lyrics I get it

On the other hand there are a couple members who are supposedly still Christian's, it just makes you wonder where they are at, if they just let language like this be in the song, I realize more and more they just did it to stir up arguments for arguments sake, much like another band's new album coming out in April

I'm not so sure the "f word" is the type of language the bible is referring to in Ephesians 4:29, 5:4, Colossians 3:8, etc. I would venture to guess that these and similar verses actually refer to many things that are considered "ok" in Western christian culture, and not about "f bombs" and the like. How about the little sweet old lady who spreads breaks confidence, or spreads lies and speculation through her gossip, though she is in the choir and sits front row twice every Sunday and once on Wednesday? If particular words in and of themselves were so sinful, I should think the bible would have defined them? I think rather it is a matter of the heart. I'm not sure why we gag at a knat like a word, but swallow other socially acceptable camels.

Well I know you can't believe EVERYTHING on wikipeadia HOWEVER according to Wikipeadia only Chris Dudley is still a Christian as of 2018. I was surprised by the f-bomb but what disappointed me the most were the lyrics in general.

I think this is sad, this is why I pray for the bands I listen to. I understand that not everyone who claims Christ is a Christian; the Bible teaches us that, it is what is. But, our brothers out there, playing in metal bands, are assaulted in all sorts of ways and need the prayers of fans to help them stay strong in their faith.

Just got it in the mail and listened to it.  So bland and nothing really stood out.  By far their worst album.  Various sites have given it scores like 2/5 which I would fully agree with.  I'll pass in the future.

“Then add to the fact that I asked Spencer direct about the meaning of the lyrics to that song and the seemingly anti-God undertones in it and his reply was

"Oh..just f*** ur self man. I dont even f***ing care wat critic says”

I myself sampled through the album on I-tunes and most of it sounds like Underoath but yet it doesn't

Its a lot more electronic and mainly just rock, so not really my cup of tea

There's a couple songs I liked but not enough to buy the album
