For the six men in Underoath, whose members have evolved and thrived during a decade-long progression that has elevated them into one of heavy music’s biggest successes, change has been ubiquitous. 2010 has been no exception for the Tampa-based sextet, who underwent and overcame what many consider their most significant line-up alteration yet. In doing so, Underoath experienced an artistic rebirth in the form of Ø (Disambiguation). The band has delivered an album that emphatically surpasses, in terms of craftsmanship and cohesion, its predecessors which combined have sold well over 1 million copies. If 2006’s Define The Great Line and 2008’s Lost In The Sound of Separation, both commercial and critical successes which debuted at #2 and #8 respectively on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart, were significant accomplishments, Ø (Disambiguation) is Underoath’s new creative high watermark. The band’s triumphant fifth album due out November 9 on Solid State/Tooth & Nail.

If I could summarize the latest Underoath album in two words I would say: organized chaos. Great sounding organized chaos to boot. Underoath has never sounded better then they do on this album. Spencer Chamberlain has taken it upon himself to do all of the vocal work, screaming and clean, and it sounds amazing. Aaron Gillespie's unique drumming might be greatly missed by longtime fans but Daniel Davison's drumming is almost up to par with his. Disambiguation is beautiful organized chaos and I strongly recommend you listen to this album and be prepared to get blown away by the level of creativity these guys are able to produce.
