I like Erase Me, but fingers crossed this album is better. This is true. 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I agree that this isn't the most exciting UO song, but it is decent enough. It's got some chugging guitars and a bit of grunge that I don't associate with these guys, so it's interesting to see them trying out something different again. I'm curious to see where the rest of the album goes, but so far I'm on board, albeit not extremely enthusiastically. Unpopular opinion: On My Teeth is in the bottom 3 or 4 songs off Erase Me. drawcody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still on Fearless. they're definitely paying attention to spacier/gazier heavy bands like Loathe, Holy Fawn, Greet Death etc with this one but refracting that sound back against their own songwriting formula in a neat way. lots of Disambiguation vibes here, hopefully the next album draws more from this well ~ drawcody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, copelandkid said: lots of Disambiguation vibes here My first thought was that it had a very Disambiguation sound to it. I loved that album too. Someone on YT said this song sounded like all of their albums combined into one and I would heavily agree with that. I think UO is best at their heaviest. Hoping they lean into that more with this album. Edit: I can’t wait for the “this is a Christian band” crowd to come out and be up in arms about how many times Spencer says fuck. Also, I think Tim is a brilliant guitar player. Edited July 14, 2021 by RadDonut copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Fun fact: The "Want to watch?" button on the email they sent out leads to an unlisted, unavailable video on Fearless Records' YouTube titled "Nightmares NEW MIX FINAL"... I assume this was an accident, and it may not even be an UO song, but I am curious now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Banned User] Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Slew of tour dates have been posted, but I'm guessing a full album announcement is a late summer project to coincide with their tour dates. Single will tide me over until then. Really digging the mix between Disambig/LITSOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they had a tshirt with anew styled “U” called that, but hadn’t seen anywhere that truly confirmed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfactor675 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 this forced "we are so not christian anymore" rhetoric is soo cringe. And I couldn't care less about religion. RyanSmithers, Derek™, copelandkid and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Yeah wouldn't have ever thought id be in this position... but after the single bait and switch and general mediocrity of Erase Me, I am going to believe this will be an unremarkable album until proven otherwise. Single is good but not great IMO Also remember their ""translucent black deluxe"" $45 single LP's for erase me? lool Edited July 15, 2021 by V3XED RyanSmithers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Looking at you, Observatory box.) How mad would the band be if they stepped back and realized that things were working a lot better for them when they walked with Jesus?
