2.0 poor | atrink | June 12th 09 | the only reason that this cd doesn't fall flat on it's face is the guitar work. a lot of tremolo but it just fits with the music. i can't stand to listen to Dallas's screams anymore. you can't even understand him but from what i hear that's a good thing because the lyrics are atrocious

3.0 good | davezillaMP3 | August 17th 20 | Underoath's debut has the issue of nearly every song being identical to each other, and Dallas
Taylor's screams are not suited for the Death metal style, that being said, "innocence stolen" is
the highlight and I appreciate a Christian band handling that subject matter, especially in the
late 90s. you can also tell how much passion these kids had throughout the album's runtime

3.0 good | Hanusko | March 25th 17 | Light 3 - The hate towards this album is certainly justified...But is it really that Bad ? NO It is not...I've heard ton of much more generic and tedious metalcore with 3.5-8 average.... This album isn't even that bad, It provides quite interesting mix of metalcore, Black metal and Death metal. Yes it has huge amount of flaws: The lyricism is completely horrid, every song could be half of the runtime and Dallas Taylor sounds like ,,Angry GoAt screaming at shit''...But the whole album is quite entertaining, most of the guitar work is excellent and the production isn't that bad either, plus in a way the vocals perfectly suit the instrumentals and you can't actually understand the horrid lyricism that abounds pretty much 90 percent of these guys discography. Yes I am certainly not a huge fan of these guys, but their first 2 albums are superior to what they were releasing in the middle of their career on ,,The Changing of Times'' or ,,They're Only Chasing Safety''. Better to have punchy, slightly edgy and clumsy Unblack metalcore release (Yes I've made that up), than whiny pretentious cheesy metalcore with christian themes...They've gotten better over time though

2.0 poor | Jared Floryan | January 5th 15 | Let me get something straight here in the simplest, most non-convoluted manner regarding Act of Depression. You could get away with calling traits of this record black metal, but the members of Underoath are Christians - and therefore are adding a dosage of hypocrisy to this unfaithful night. Well, other than "Heart of Stone", you shouldn't really bother replaying the rest of the tracks. Dallas Taylor's vocal performance is abysmal and the instrumentation can range from decent to outright cheap.

3.0 good | TylerLamberg | January 27th 14 | For each song, you can find at least 1-3 minutes of boredom. Granted, every song is about 6-10 minutes long, but that's still no excuse. Every time something interesting happens, something boring is there to counteract it eventually. However, I still find this to be a fairly solid effort. The only song that I think had no overly boring parts was "Watch Me Die", so if I were to recommend anything from this album, that song would be it.

0.0 | ArizonaBay22 | February 17th 12 | Underoath are a great band but their first album is definitely not their best

1.0 awful | IAmKickass | March 31st 11 | When I look back at what Underoath was, compared to what they've become, confusion settles in. If I was listening to this shortly after it came out, this might be an entirely different rating, but it's the fact that I'm listening to it after hearing Underoath's progression which brings my liking for this EP to a halt. The death metal style vocals mixed with the heavy musical influence is sure to catch some ears, but in my opinion it comes out as a flat album that tried to hard at fitting in to a genre that would never work for them.

2.0 poor | soldier0cross | May 29th 08 | The vocals are annoying to the ears and near imcomprehensible, there's is good reason that this album had such few available copies. However Underoath began to grow shortly after and even when they had Dallas Taylor the later albums were better.
This album does not do the band proper justice, but to be fair not many bands get it right on their early first EPs
