Underoath
The Changing Of Times

THE REVIEW

It's 2002, emo is the genre that is beginning to come back to life and with it, the group that, a few years later, will be the best band the emocore genre has ever had...

'The Changing Of Times' is in my opinion the most precious jewel this genre has, it's the perfect album, the album I fell in love with and the album that every time I listen to it, it moves me even more. Many of you will remain completely indifferent to this, mistakenly convinced that emo is just a cheap commercial genre... but believe me there's much more here than you might expect, truly. And I'm not crazy when I say that this record deserves the highest place, that place that even splendid bands like Silverstein, Thursday, or Funeral For A Friend will never have, NEVER.

The first track of the album, is an extremely beautiful and moving song, it is the perfect song that could silence any band that dares to stand against Underoath. "When The Sun Sleeps". Mark this title. It's the opening track of the album, a melancholic and angry song, opposing voices, anguished screams intertwined with Aaron's melodic voice, dark guitars, a divine text... I wonder where the singer found the strength to write this album, right after the death of the person he loved. The strength to move on, the strength to open his eyes and see the world for what it is, more bleak and melancholic than ever, sad, suffering, a world that stifles any glimmer of hope...

I can't analyze the tracks one by one because it would be a crime; I prefer to make a bet with you and invite you to buy the album, you won't be disappointed, I'm sure. Any person cannot help but be moved by this album, which has truly left a scar in the hearts of those who have lived it to the fullest, a wound that will never heal, a wound that reopens and hurts every time Dallas screams all his pain to the whole world...

"Just for tonight the sun still sleeps...and when she wakes, you'll be a memory. You'll be a memory."
