Both Sunburnt and Unsound continue the progression of the band's final full-legnth, Disambiguation. But each track still points toward the band moving forward. Sunburnt feels like a track that fell in-between the cracks of Disambiguation and Lost In The Sound of Separation. It has that darker ambient vibe but being much poppier and lighter than anything that was on Disambiguation. Unsound is Paper Lung without the screaming vocals. It's the first Underoath track without any screaming vocals. Both are solid tracks.
The rest of the album is a look back at Underoath's career, newest to oldest, which includes the b-side I've Got Ten Friends and a Crowbar. I'm glad Tooth and Nail included tracks from the band's first two records on this album. And I think people could argue the tracks from each record all day (I personally would've chosen the last from Cries of the Past instead of the album's title track), it's an all in all great showcase of the band's discography.
Anthology isn't a must have for Underoath fans. You can buy the two new tracks on iTunes and it will complete your discography nicely. But for anyone looking to dive into Underoath and aren't sure where to start, Anthology is a solid look at the band's entire catalog.
