HOORAY! It made me so happy that it doesn't sound anything like 'Never Take Friendship Personal,' although it doesn't sound like 'Blueprints...' either. Needless to say, I'm excited about this album. It actually reminds me a little of a fusion between 'Start Something' and 'Liberation Transmission' by Lostprophets (not that that's a bad thing XD) I'm only disappointed that you can't download this song.

[Warrior4Christ]

I can't wait to hear the full thing of Adelaide...

[Radical Dreamer]

Aha, February 20th! I was wondering when the release date was. XD And yes, I looove Godspeed. It's so wonderful. XD

[Tommy]

Hey, they have a new sound!

I like this sound better, and this to me might be the first Anberlin album worth purchasing.

[That Dude]

I listened to it yesterday and enjoyed it quite a bit. By the way, the new album is going to be called "Cities."

[Buried Alive]

Musically it sounds pretty good, to bad his voice is kind of sucky.

Awww, I love his voice. XD

Anyways, after reading the little blurb they have on the new album, I'm even more excited. Now I just need to get a job so I can, you know, go out and buy it when it's released. XD

[Kkun]

Stephen Christian has a great voice, I don't know what Buried Alive is even talking about.

The Special edition is going to be amazing. THREE extra songs. That IS ACTUALLY a special edition. I'm down for it.

[Tommy]

Well, it's all a matter of opinion.

I think the frontman of Anberlin sounds a little bit like Kevin Max.
Well, at least he did in the song "Change the World."

By the way, Kevin Max's voice is far from sucky, just to clarify.

[Yojimbo]

Yeah I heard this last week it's really good. It definitely sounds different than their previous stuff which is a good thing considering Anberlin sometimes gets repetitive. I think it's amazing really that they went from a band who had two or three truly good songs on their first album to having almost an entire album of stellar material. I expect "Cities" to be even better than "Never Take Friendship Personal."

[Tommy]

Cities looks farly superior to me.

This is sort of random to bring up, but doesn't it seem Stephen Christian stands out as a member?

He looks like he was 10 years on the other members. XD

Actually, overall, I like "Blueprints for the Blackmarket" more than "Never Take Friendship Personal". Maybe it's just because I listened to NTFP so many times, though, I don't know. XD Still, Blueprints has a ton of great, catchy songs on it as far as I'm concerned, and I'd say it makes for an awesome first album.

[Kkun]

I think Blueprints for the Black Market is a far superior record to Never Take Friendship Personal but I respect what they tried to do on NTFP. I don't agree at all, Yojimbo, that Blueprints only had two or three good songs. Readyfuels, Foreign Language, Glass to the Arson, Cadence, Naive Orleans, their cover of The Cure's Love Song. Basically the entire album is great, in my opinion. Never Take Friendship Personal was good, though, not as endearing to me as Blueprints. It's a lot more artsy, what with the weird segues, and not to mention the song Dance, Dance, Christa Paffgen (featuring guitar by Mike Weiss of mewithoutYoooouuuuu).

[everdred12a]

I also believe that Blueprints was far better than NTFP. And, like Jamie, I respect what they tried to do with NTFP (though I still don't really like it). I was hoping that their next album would be a return to the style and sound of Blueprints. This song does seem to have all the aggression of Blueprints, but it builds upon it, and I can't wait.

Special edition, eh? I'm down with that. Jamie, we totally need to go get this the day it comes out (just like with Young Machetes). I'm totally psyched about it.

I agree. I most certainly agree. You can cut class that day, eh?

[everdred12a]

Oh, ouch... I dunno... It probably comes out on Tuesday which means I have economics class. But, right after Econ (at 11:15) I could probably rush down to Best Buy and be back before noon. XD Anberlin > Visual Basic.

[Ichigo_89]

Can't wait for this cd!! This album kinda popped out of nowhere for me. Just seemed like the other day I was seeing the new vid for Paperthin Hymn. And yes, YES Godspeed is awsome!!

[Tommy]

I find Godspeed their best song to date. The chorus is just so freakin catchy. I hope all of Cities is like that.

[Nu-En-Jin]

Have you guys heard the other song on the EP yet?
Haunting? Good GRAVY that's got to be the best song they've ever written... well, until Cities comes out, and then... who knows.
Is it February yet?

[Radical Dreamer]

So there's a new song up at Purevolume (and MySpace, but it wouldn't work for me last night--it kept freezing up or something) called "Dismantle.Repair." It's pretty great.

Also, I found out about Stephen Christian's side solo-project, AnchorandBraille last night (featuring Copeland's Aaron Marsh...um, is there anything that's better? XD).

[Kkun]

Yeah, I really, really dig Dismantle.Repair. It has a nice sound to it. I can't wait for this new album, srsly.

[That Dude]

It's a good song. Yuppers.

[Tommy]

"Godspeed" is my favorite song from them so far.

[Ichigo_89]

Just in case anybody didn't know, U can listen to Anberlin's new album in its entirety until Tuesday on their myspace. I've listened a couple times and it's quite catchy

[Radical Dreamer]

I've heard a few of the other songs, like "Hello Alone" and one or two others, but I want to save all of it for Tuesday. XD I seriously can't wait, though; I'm so excited.

[Kkun]

It's awesome, dudes. I really liked Never Take Friendship Personal but this is way better.

[Radical Dreamer]

It's amaaaazing.

Hello Alone is LOVE. XD

I've been able to listen to almost all of it, minus track 12 and the three extra tracks (I got the SE), but I've loved every single song I've heard. XD Really, it's an incredible album.

[Kkun]

I've only gotten up to track 9, Reclusion because I've been studying or at work all day but OH MY GOSH. The synthesizer on this album is amazing. The words are just excellent, too.

Yeah, Reclusion is really good. I finished listening to it, and (*Fin) is also completely incredible. Also, the three extra songs are SO catchy. XD I like The Promise the best; it's a cover of someone, but I can't think of who. I know I've heard it before, though. Either way, this album is incredible and amazing and I love it very much. XD
