Lost In The Sound Of Separation is truly 2008's first perfect record. [Sep 2008, p.145]
Billboard
Underoath has made definitive strides at progression without abandoning the muscular, broad-shouldered hardcore that made it a household name.
Read Full Review >Sputnikmusic
When Underoath hits it they hit it well, and Lost in the Sound of Separation is still a very good record despite its faults.
Read Full Review >All Music Guide
It doesn't take long for Separation to rescue itself from painfully serious, aggro-MTV mediocrity, as those two tracks are quickly followed up by the riveting 'A Fault Line, A Fault of Mine' and 'Emergency Broadcast: The End Is Near.'

Chris gave it a10:
Amazing, perfect. I love this band but I dont think of it as emo music as many people do, i just think of it as hard rock or metal. great job underoath!
Andrew S. gave it a9:
Great Album. A progression from their last Album. How they managed to come out with an Album sounding different to Define The Great Line is an accomplishment giving they still loved that album going into record LITSOS.
James K. gave it a10:
Deep Lyrics, Good Music. Its nice to have a band that can chain together really great albums, and keep on improving. And ten to counter that idiot that said 0. At least explain a reason if you give them a 0.
Ian T gave it a9:
This is a truly great album in all of rock music for me, it seems revolutionary what they do on it!
Alexis M gave it a10:
Why are people talking about metacritic's system and Metallica? Completely irrelevant. I don't think I can take their opinions serious now. However, the way I view this album, it is transcendent on many levels. Mainly musically. There is a lot of talented displayed throughout the album. Especially from Gillespie. He really dishes out some very difficult rhythms and makes them subtle too. There's a part where the kicks are in 4/4 and his snare hits are in 5/8. Pretty damn incredible. He even sings while drumming rather fast and intricate rhythms as well. This man is very coordinated. They play in some weird meters if you listen closely. This album boasts originality. It's unfortunate people take the time to notice it.
Josh A. gave it a9:
A few years back i was listening to whatever my parents listened to. But now i find myself listening to things that would have scared me. This is one of the first metalcore albums I have bought and while not perfect it is pretty exciting and hard. It goes for a melodic and brutal approach at the same time with pounding drums and guitars that are just all over the place. It is truly one of the most refined albums i have brought this past year.
Zack G gave it a9:
I've gotta say, if you're a fan of 'They're Only Chasing Safety' and not 'Define the Great Line,' then you will be slightly disappointed in 'Lost in The Sound.' The band has not abandoned their new sound that they adopted with their 5th release. Although I prefer 'They're Only Chasing Safety' and 'The Changing of Times' over pretty much any other album of this genre, 'Lost In the Soun' is extremely high up on my list. Deffinately well worth listening to.
