The Changing of Times is the third studio album by American rock band Underoath. The album was released on February 26, 2002, through Solid State Records. It is the first album to include guitarist Timothy McTague and bassist William Nottke, the latter leaving the band afterwards along with vocalist Dallas Taylor and guitarist Octavio Fernandez. The album is the best-selling Solid State debut.[10]
Style
[edit | edit source]The album is significant for introducing the post-hardcore elements that would subsequently become central to Underoath’s sound, including a greater emphasis on melodic hooks and structured choruses.[11] While certain tracks preserve aspects of the raw metalcore style characteristic of the band’s previous albums, The Changing of Times represents a marked shift in overall musical direction. It is also the first Underoath release to feature clean vocal contributions from drummer Gillespie.[1]
