BrianD.Nov 15, 2008I can sympathize with those of you who don't like this genre of music. I really can. 3 years ago I would have laughed if someone let me listen to this album. But what you need to understand is that for this genre of music (metalcore/post hardcore) this album trully is remarkable, even though it is far from accesible. Hands down a 10 as far as I'm concerned.

MattF.Nov 16, 2008Probably not worth a 92 metascore, but this album is absolutely stellar. I rarely listen to any post-hardcore and I've listened to this album more than 100 times through. It's a gem in its genre.

JohnC.Sep 12, 2008AMAZING FROM START TO FINISH.

TrevorL.Nov 12, 2008This album could only be exciting to someone new to metal. There is nothing here you haven't heard before... Nevertheless, it's a solid piece of work and the recording is masterful. Have your friend burn you a copy.

JoeUOct 4, 2008Great Album! At first i was a lil skeptical, but after about 10 listen-thru's, I adore this album. Im actually glad close-minded people dont like it. It takes effort but once you learn to enjoy UO, there's very deep beauty to witness.

AndrewbSep 7, 2008Amazing. This album showcases the fine line Underoath treads between the metalcore scene and the success in the mainstream light.

[Anonymous]Sep 7, 2008I don't think anyone thought that they could out-top "Define The Great Line", but I will be the first to admit, they really outdid themselves this time. Absolutely fantastic album.

WassabiA.Sep 9, 2008Some songs don't sound awesome at first because the cd takes couple plays to start sounding great. But once you get there, you'll understand; the depth is ridiculous, I could listen to this for the rest of my life. Best of 2008.

TylerK.Oct 1, 2008This is an excellent album from start to finish. Every song is good in its own right. Their songwriting really has matured a lot since DTGL. Its a shame its only 11 tracks

-
JacobZ.Oct 5, 2008one of the great things about underoath is that over time they expand their sound. If you like "chasing" u like their more pop stuff this stuff is deeper. Listen to the whole album. Unlike most rock bands they have a meaning

WillLSep 12, 2008I'm not Steve O's friend. This album isn't as good as Define the Great Line or They're Only Chasing Safety but its dang close. It was recorded with a lot of lows, so turn your bass down and enjoy this record for a very long time.

MarkC.Sep 15, 2008I have been an Underoath fan since "Safety". I enjoyed DTGL with much enthusiasm, that it was hard to imagine how to top it, but.... Not only did they match the enthusiasm from the previous record. They unleashed a newer sound from maturity, and the age issue. There were a few moments when it seemed they tried to hard, but all in all... this album pulled through for me.. I listen to it daily.

JonH.Sep 15, 2008Epic album, builds on everything they've done so far and just about surpasses it!
-
-
MiguelS.Sep 15, 2008this is arguably the best thing UO has ever made! it was thought that DTGL would never be topped, but everyone was proved wrong! this type of style will live you speechless and its unpredictable....may you get lost in the sound....not of separation, but of desperation.

AndrewS.Mar 29, 2009Great 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.

JamesK.Mar 8, 2009Deep 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.

ChrisMay 31, 2009Amazing, 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!
-
-
TimothyWNov 22, 2008Not as good as Chasing Safety, but this is the next most spectacular Christian metalcore albums, and, with my limited knowledge of the competition, I will say that it ranks with the best of them try listening too the whole album with only the best speakers/ headphones you can find as loud as you can comfortably stand.

NathanSep 14, 2008Underoath said that this album was going to be heavier than the past few, and they did exactly what they said. Spencer takes the vocals of this band to a new height while completely rocking out.

Oct 30, 2010Amazing! One of those bands that I fell in love with at first sight (well in this case sound). If Underoath is played at just the right sound-level, it is the perfect mixture of metal and calmness. You need a true musician's ear to truly enjoy this epic music.

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.'

Alternative PressLost In The Sound Of Separation is truly 2008's first perfect record. [Sep 2008, p.145]

Underoath has made definitive strides at progression without abandoning the muscular, broad-shouldered hardcore that made it a household name.
