CD Review: Underoath's Define The Great Line


In the time since the sensational “They’re Only Chasing Safety” was released, Underoath have been selling out shows and records like madmen. The cult following the band brings about with their energetic belligerence is anything but unstoppable; and when the band made a surprise move to stay locked into Tooth And Nail Records (despite bigger offerings), it’s no surprise Tooth And Nail were stoked.

Leading up to this release, the hype’s been building much like the whirling, dark sand in their promo videos. Ominous advertisements, simply displaying a ticking clock, have been plastered all over the Internet. And, when a plane bearing the news that the album is to be released was spotted at this year’s Columbus Warped Tour stop, it’s no secret: there’s a lot of hype behind this album.

It might be too obvious of me to state, simply, that the hype for this album was anything short of dead-on—and, at moments, I myself was even a bit skeptical about ‘Define’ blowing ‘Safety’ out of the water. When the band’s first choice was, oddly, to put “Salmarnir,” the torrential interlude, up, my heart dropped with a sense of disappointment.

Now, though, “Define The Great Line,” is in my hands, and I’ve no doubt that this album powerfully redefines Underoath (excuse the pun). Moving beyond the blistering anthemics found on tracks like “Reinventing Your Exit” and “A Boy Brushed Red…,” “Define The Great Line” is a screamy, messy, and violent record that’s vigorous and exciting.

The only discretion I’ve had with Underoath’s live show is that, as one might expect, singer and drummer Aaron Gillespie’s dual duty is a bit difficult to perfectly render. As if the band knew it was an issue, Gillespie makes a noticeably quick and short appearance on many of the tracks—though songs like the very Safety-esque “Writing On The Walls” deals out the usual scream/sing combo, most of the time singer Spencer Chamberlain is found shrieking and screaming, often putting out what must be his utmost intensity.

Sonically, thanks to the dual production efforts from Matt Goldman (Copeland, Cartel) and Adam Dutkiwicz (guitarist for Killswitch Engage), “Define The Great Line” blurs the production between new and old. It’s got plenty of moments that exhibit modern and cutting-edge recording capabilities, filled with drum machines and noisy, loud, radio-ready guitars and vocals. However, it still retains a raw, unpolished sense of noisy, sustaining guitars. In other words, as would be expected, it sounds stunning.

And while most of the people in the mass market might not react too well to this noisy, rocking change of direction in Underoath, one can only expect that their current fanbase will be utterly impressed—instead of taking advantage of their soaring record sales and diehard fan sect, Underoath wrote and made a record that sounds completely the way they wanted it to sound. It might sound cliché in today’s terms to say a band’s stayed true to their roots—but Underoath did just that, writing noisy, blazing hardcore songs with dark, heavy guitar textures and screaming—and they did it because they wanted to.

I think what I love most about this record is the fact that the band’s obvious nature to crossover into two different genres with “They’re Only Chasing Safety” is delicately retained—yes, fans of catchy, sing-a-long choruses and hooky choruses will find moments they love on “Define.” But, at the same time, fans of heavy, destructive metal and hard rock will love the moments of sheer energy exhibited by the band—and will likely be able to look past the high-pitched wailing of Gillespie.

Perhaps Chamberlain puts it best on “Moving For The Sake Of Motion”—“Brace yourself!!!” “Define The Great Line” isn’t for the weary, though by the end you feel like you’ve been beaten up. I am not even slightly reluctant to say this record will be topping the “Best Of” charts come 2007.

Dashboard Confessional CD review


What's my secret? If you must know, I always keep a copy of Dashboard Confessional's The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most in my room. And I sing along. Loudly. To every word. A lot.

There, I said it.

The mother of all emo albums, Places would be defensible work if it weren't for lead singer Chris Carrabba's gushing saccharine hypersensitive confessions that are calculated to captivate the budding heart of every 14-year-old girl.

I am a 20+ yr old man. I should not be singing along to the soundtrack for those struggling with the awkwardness of training bras. But how can any person with a heart refuse that album, which is more addictive than your moms cookie ehehe^^

Dashboard's follow-up album in 2003, A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar, was a clear statement that the band wanted to shed their emo image and move toward more arena rock anthems. But the booming electric guitar of that album drowned out any raw emotion that might've been audible in an acoustic version. Places and A Mark dated briefly, but broke up before Mark got to first base.

At last, Dashboard has birthed a new album that is a worthy soulmate to Places: Dusk and Summer. The album still finds Carrabba experimenting with a harder-edged rock style, but producer Don Gilmore has managed to let Carrabba's honesty float above the reverb.

"Stolen," the fourth track on Dusk and Summer, exemplifies what is both sickening and stupefying about Dashboard. The song's lyrics sound like a parody of a bad poem scribbled in the diary of a temp worker hired by Hallmark. Indeed, the chorus is a repetition of an unoriginal and simple line: "You have stolen my heart." Yet, my cynicism melts away when I become convinced that Carrabba is hurting while singing it. Listening to the song, I simultaneously search my own catalogue of pain, wishing that I could do something to ease his heartache,

As it turns out, "Stolen" is only one of several standout sing-along anthems. Another testament to Dashboard's hypnotic powers is the gorgeous piano ballad, "So Long, So Long." The song includes guest vocals by Adam Duritz of the incorrigible Counting Crows, which frequently contends for the title of Worst Band in the Universe. But when Carrabba risks a loss of oxygen to hit that high B flat note and announce to everyone that he's gone, I forgive his trespasses and forget everything but his dramatic departure.

God forbid that I admit to feeling a deep sense of sorrow even when reading the album credits, which note that the songs are published by "Hey, did she ask about me? Music". What other band can make a person choke up in the legal fine print of the liner notes?

By the end of Dusk and Summer — should I call it the Autumn Evening of the CD? — Dashboard makes clear that is not attempting to broaden its base, to move towards an edgier sound, or to find a way to encroach upon Slipknot's fan base. The band simply embraces the sound that befits Carrabba's unfiltered lyrics.

Thankfully, the closer — "Heaven Here" — helps sober me up. Oh sure, the finale wears its heart on its sleeve and transports me on a rapturous emotional journey like the best of them. But with lyrics like "Heaven is here / And tonight / We are the only ones who feel it," I remember that Chris Carrabba is that singer-songwriter guy who came in last place at the Battle of the Bands but ended up walking away with all the cute girls.

But despite the jealousy and dirty guilt triggered by Dashboard's oozing emotions and sensitive-guy modus operandi, I am grateful for this album. It feeds my darkest addiction.

P.S. Don't tell anyone, but even after multiple listens, I continue to bask in the glow of love emanating from my two Dashboard CDs who have found, in each other, companions worthy of a lifetime.
