Album Notes & Community Reviews

Underoath's commercial breakthrough, 'They're Only Chasing Safety' solidified the band's place at the forefront of the 2000s post-hardcore movement. The album marked the debut of lead vocalist Spencer Chamberlain and established the band's signature dynamic between aggressive screams and massive, melodic clean-sung choruses from drummer Aaron Gillespie. With its polished production and accessible, hook-driven songwriting, the record became a touchstone for the emo and screamo scenes of its era.
