Album Description
Deluxe Edition CD+DVD+Double Vinyl Box set contains 56 page, embossed black cloth covered, perfect bound hard back book, full length CD/DVD featuring a 40+ minute making-of documentary, 2 sawblade die cut 10" vinyl records (one turquoise marble, one red marble), all packaged in a white cloth covered 4-fold box, hand numbered and signed by Underoath.
Album Description
The upcoming release was told to be a lot "heavier" and "darker" than the 2006 release, Define the Great Line. A handful of people from MTV were the first to get a listen to some of the upcoming songs. It was then reviewed afterward that: "Several of the songs were anthemic, feedback-filled numbers that build slowly to their thunderous, ear-splitting crescendos".

 woah. November 14, 2008
Underoath have really out done themselves in this album. It's definetly Underoath... but heavier, much heavier. I think that in a way, they have all really matured since Define The Great Line. The way they mixed Spencer's screams and Aarons vocals, just blows my mind. I have loved Underoath from the start, but once I put this cd into my computer and pressed play, I almost peed my pants- Lost In The Sound Of Separation was that good.
A step forward from DTGL November 14, 2008
A little while back, I wrote up a review for UO's DTGL. I gave the album four stars, but honestly, I felt it really was more of a 2 1/2 or 3 star effort for this particular band. So why the higher score? Because this is UnderOath we're talking about, and since they've essentially paved the way for the metalcore/screamo revolution of present day, DTGL was by comparison to other similar records a four star effort. I fully expected to extend the same sort of respectful review to LITSOS, but surprisingly, I didn't have to...
Now, if you're still holding out for a like minded follow-up to TOCS, you can probably move right along. As much as I loved TOCS and still feel it's UO's best release to date, that sound is long behind the band and probably not coming back.
LITSOS could best be described as a more focused, yet varied extension of DTGL (IE the darker, heavier sound is in tact but things aren't quite as messy). The weird, experimental stuff from DTGL pops up here and there, but it's done in a more restrained way, so as not to take away from the album's accessiblity. And yes, contrary to some of the other reviews here, LITSOS is indeed more accessible than DTGL.
Obvious hits include the nearly TOCS worthy Desperate Times:Desperate Measures and tightly melodic A Fault Line, A Fault Of Mine. Losers include the lengthy Emergency Broadcast and pointless instrumental Desolate Earth. The latter is actually a bone of contention with me. The album itself would have ended perfectly with the melodic Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear. Adding an additional track comprised almost entirely of dragging instrumentals seems like a waste of disc space to me. In short, this would have been a solid 10 track album.
At the end of the day, UO are still one of my favorites, and no one can deny their talent or the impact they've had on the metalcore scene. For the casual fan taken in by TOCS and left stranded with DTGL, I'd recommend a single song download of Desperate Times: Desperate Measures. For UO fans, you've probably already heard it, and for those on the fence, imagine a more accessible version of DTLG with a little something new in the mix, and then make up your mind.
simply greatness October 24, 2008
What else can i say besides good god save us all!!! absolutely monumental...this cd does it all for underoath. they have come quite a ways since chasing safety almost 5 years ago. i recently saw these guys perform in germany with songs on this cd and it was amazing. without a doubt an awesome cd. the next question should be is it their best? i dont know if i can say that, define the great line was incredible obviously, but this brings a different side of these guys out and i am simply blown away.
A masterpiece October 21, 2008

This CD is one of the fullest CD's I have heard probably all year. I find myself listening to this CD over and over again, and not ever getting sick of it. One of my favorite aspects of this CD is how each song runs into the next, yet every song has it's own originality. GET THIS CD! It is amazing. You will not be disappointed!
Extremely Awsome Cd October 20, 2008
