    A band can't always be the same.
    Underoath is now different but this album gave me a great nostalgy. The essence is still there. The album is well balanced, Spencer stills very well. I'm really loving this album.

    It's different than people were hoping for, but that isn't a negative thing, This feels like the logical progression for Underoath. There's heavy songs, melodic songs, punk-ish songs. This album has so many different things going on and I love it. I'd put this album right up there with all the best of Underoath's discography .

    I've been listening to Erase Me for the past week, and after much thought, my initial opinions of the record have changed. I also listened to a podcast Spencer Chamberlain was on that really put into perspective what the writing process was all about. I have much more respect for the direction Underoath has gone into now. There's still a couple of tracks that need to grow on me, butI've been listening to Erase Me for the past week, and after much thought, my initial opinions of the record have changed.

It's jarring, going from Disambiguation or any of their older stuff to this, but I feel like it's one of those things you just have to get used to. People and opinions change over time, so it's understandable that after 8 years (10 if you count the current lineup), the band would have a major sound shift. Hopefully for the people like me who have bad first impressions, fall in love with this record over multiple listening sessions.… Expand

    It's catchy, very versatile, and it has a good harmony but it fails on its structure.

    Erase Me is not a perfect record, but it is a solid statement from a band who believe they still gave unfinished business to attend to. [7 Apr 2018, p.53]

    Erase Me can be considered yet another radical shift in the band's lifetime of variation, a risk that pays off with an open mind and open ears.

    Yes, Erase Me also features more singing and less metalcore than has been standard in Underoath's career, but it straddles Sleepwave's experimentations, landing on the catchier side ("Rapture," "Wake Me"), more energetic side ("It Has to Start Somewhere," "Hold Your Breath") or somehow pushing both extremes ("In Motion," "Sink With You").
