{{Main article|Cries of the Past|The Changing of Times}}
In 2000, keyboardist Christopher Dudley joined Underoath, and the five-song, forty-minute long record, ''[[Cries of the Past]]'' was released, quickly selling 3,000 copies.<ref name="Allmusic"/> In 2001, Corey Steger left the band; he died in a car accident on March 17, 2021.<ref>{{Cite news| title= Ex-Underoath Guitarist Corey Steger has Died in a Car Accident| publisher= Loudwire.com| date= March 19, 2021| url= https://loudwire.com/underoath-corey-steger-dead/| access-date= April 10, 2021}}</ref> Takehold Records was bought out by [[Seattle]]'s [[Tooth & Nail Records]] and Underoath was subsequently signed to the label's subsidiary, [[Solid State Records]].

The album was released on February 26, 2002, and produced one single: "When the Sun Sleeps". Dallas Taylor explained that the lyrics on ''The Changing of Times'' were about "people playing with other people's emotions and how it can leave you bitter" and "struggling through life's hardships and trying to find God in all of it."<ref>{{cite interview| subject= Taylor, Dallas| subject2= McTague, Timothy| subject3= Gillespie, Aaron| title= Taking The Oath| work= [[Cross Rhythms]]| date= May 1, 2002| url= http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Taking_The_Oath/16016/p1/| access-date= January 26, 2008| url-status= dead| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071208061827/http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Taking_The_Oath/16016/p1/| archive-date= December 8, 2007}}</ref>

In 2003, Underoath supported the album's release with their first inclusion on [[Warped Tour]], however their participation in the tour came to an end when Taylor (under controversial conditions) was asked to leave the band.

"Reinventing Your Exit" and "It's Dangerous Business Walking out Your Front Door" were released as the album's two singles and both songs spawned music videos that received frequent airplay on [[MTV2]] and [[Fuse TV|Fuse]].

In March 2005, Underoath participated in the inaugural [[Taste of Chaos]] tour, and shortly after, embarked on their first headlining tour. The band premiered two brand-new songs during the length of the tour. They played a part of the Warped Tour, but declined to perform for the entirety of the tour in order to take time to record another album.
