Underoath - You're Ever So Inviting

[pen]

Third single from Define The Great Line comes out January 8th, although honestly, I don't know why they keep releasing singles. They're not a radio band. The album is great, they're a great band, but I just don't see this going anywhere.

[American Idiot]

Yeah, you basically summed it up. They have a HUGE underground type fanbase, and didn't they go or almost go gold in their first week of sales? They don't need to release crap to radio to be "cool."

[jdmasta289]

I agree. Although I have to be in a certain bummed out, "emo" mood to actually listen to and enjoy their songs. If I'm not in that mood, it's just a bitter, messy nonsense. There, I said it.

Well, this is ever so dumb.  "In Regards To Myself" wasn't even sent to radio but it *was* treated with a really cool video thanks to all those Poltergeist-looking girls they hired.  I doubt they'll invest more money on creating another video.

They're Only Chasing Safety had more hit songs, yet, only two singles were released.  I think the epic "Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape" would've helped get that album go to Gold status.

Nope, but they almost broke 100,000 sales and earned #2 on Billboard.

It would have been an amazing success story if Loose hadn't been #1 and Underoath squeeked one out.

Jan 23th now according to allaccess. Its not on fmqb anymore.

and OMG, they are touring with Taking Back Sunday and Armor For Sleep this spring. That is perfect for me. Happiest day of my life. :'(

TBS puts on a good show. They were also at the Buzz Bake Sale. The main vocalist needs to sing a little louder though cause the guitarist was way louder than him.

I'm wrong. Not only are they making a video for this, but also for "A Moment Suspended in Time". Wow, 4 singles! :o

[Crushcrushchris]

Well, they did have great first week sales. I figured that may have had something to do with it...have they gone gold yet or are they even close?

[tortuga]

Certified Gold!

Bands make lots of extra videos that never go anywhere. I don't know why some of you always assume that videos are only ever made for singles and that they're so expensive that they can only afford to make a couple per album. I would think that if OK Go taught us anything, it's that a great video can be made with very little cash and effort.

[Nicholas2.0]

Yeah, however, Underoath's past few videos look like they had fairly big budgets.

And weird, although I have this song placed 8/11, "A Moment Suspended in Time" is all the way up at #2. Apparently, despite the album being mostly indistinguishable from one song to the next, I do seem to have a fair grasp on which ones they make videos for, as "In Regards to Myself" was my "favorite" when I ranked 'em.
