Reformed after releasing two tentative EPs in the metalcore vein, Act of Depression () and Cries of the Past (), Florida's Underoath concocted a friendlier (and Christian-tinged) form of metalcore on The Changing of Times (), A key feature of their sound was the interplay between Dallas Taylor's angst-filled shrieking (the dominant voice) and the melodic emo voice of Aaron Gillespie. When the Sun Sleeps is emblematic of their ability to smoothly transition from soft to hard sound and from whispering to screaming voices; but this praxis can also lead to the confused and convoluted The Changing of Times. The vocal dualism is paralleled by the contrast between lead guitarist Tim McTague and keyboardist Chris Dudley. Witness how the gentle trotting of Alone in December and plain recitation, with a touch of synth, ushers in the most catastrophic riffs of the album. An anthemic synth line actually adds vigor to the pounding and burning Angel Below. The militaristic overtones of Short of Daybreak and the poppy instrumental bridge in the middle of Never Meant to Break Your Heart prove versatility and lyricism, but, in the end, the standout is A Message for Adrienne, a classic lesson in panzer metalcore and ultra-screaming.

Underoathhit the studio and recorded the ten songs that would comprise their first album under the new partnership, appropriately titled The Changing Of Times. Taylor abruptly left the group in the middle of 's Warped Tour, leaving distressed fans contemplating the band's uncertain future. Underoath-- which also included bassist Grant Brandell and guitarist James Smith -- continued on, however, enlisting ex-This Runs Through member Spencer Chamberlain as their new vocalist. A year l
