Music
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] Alternative Press considers it a "scene album".[12]
