Mar 13, 2020Dare I say modern classic? Every. Song. Is. Epic. Code Orange has dissected metal, electronic, hip hop, etc., grabbed the body parts of each genre that bemuses them, and constructed a new sound.
-
Mar 14, 2020With this release Code Orange make every other metal band sound just really bland. Underneath is pure brilliance of an album.

Mar 14, 2020This album **** hard. It's definitely cementing them as future headliners and forerunners of the new pack of metal.

Jul 10, 2020An amazing album, love the beginning to end! There’s no filler tracks, all of the songs feel like singles like You and You Alone, A Sliver, The Easy Way, In Fear and so many more are amazing. And this was released on my birthday, so this is the best birthday gift!!! Would recommend, buy the CD, Vinyl, or listen to it on Spotify!!

Mar 14, 2020This stuff sounds like any other rock in the last twenty years. Please guys, can rock forget that ugly Linkin Park flirt. I hate this band and I will hate anything, that is mimicking them. If only it was electric wizard, or Queens of the stone age that influenced the next rock era, nah it has to be Linkin. Well in a world where Ariana and Taylor are icons, what would you expect?

Mar 15, 2020Nothing spectacular. Overrated. They are all over the map with punk, metal, hip-hop, electric and special effects with some melodic vocals if you can get through the experimental noise. If eclectic crazy out of bounds music is your thing you will love it!

Jun 1, 2020Just...No No NO!!!!Just give you a chance and forget the mainstream market! You were one of the best.What is this??? This is not metalcore or metal at all...Shame!

Apr 8, 2020This was a bit of a letdown. The majority of songs sound the same.
Good sound yes, but very redundant. -
Mar 26, 2020If I didn't know any better, I'd accuse you of releasing the audio recording of Superman's birth. I'm still not 100% sure it isn't. So far, this is the best album of 2020!! Fantastic!

Apr 27, 2020A not so subtle reminder that rock is in fact not dead. It is not even on life support. Code Orange deliver a technically excellent album. Granted it is one of those albums that you cant just listen to but you really need to hear it from start to finish, it is fully deserving of every second spent listening.

Aug 5, 2020Visceral and infernal perfection.
A provoking masterpiece that is entirely successful in delivering Code Orange's brutal yet divine sonic vision. Classic. -
Aug 5, 2020This album is bang.
If you don't think its great i really suggest you give it a another listen and try to hear all the clever elements going on, its truly ahead of its time. Fair play to CO for making two pretty damn near perfect albums and consistently pushing the boundaries of "metal". This is wow. -

Classic Rock MagazineMay 6, 2020Mostly, Underneath is confrontational and exhilarating - just as metal should be when it's doing its job properly. [Jun 2020, p.87]

Apr 6, 2020For the most part, Code Orange leans upon evocative writing that pairs heaviness to thoughtful lyricism. While there are a handful of phrases that feel sloppy or obvious (“The digital knife's edge that cuts us all” on In Fear, or Cold.Metal.Place’s “The fire burns down our 3D world”), Code Orange’s self-seriousness almost entirely works because of how badass they are.
-
Mar 17, 2020Code Orange’s second album for Roadrunner, the exhausting and uneven Underneath, lands like a glib attempt to do just that while forsaking the idiosyncrasies that made them interesting.
