Best Since Cities
Posted October 16, 2012
By username2,
Rejoice Anberlin fans, the band you knew and loved back when they were still with Tooth & Nail returns in their new album Vital. It manages to blend the old youthful fast energy hooks that the band was known for and the new more modernistic alt rock that was present on the previous 2 albums and even throws in some new electronica elements to boot. And it all sounds amazing. After going with 2 well known rock producers for their previous 2 albums, the band reteams with thier old producer Aaron Sprinkle and you can tell that they have learned a lot and have applied some new concepts that are welcome.
Stephen Christian's voice sounds amazing as always and he really pushes the boundries of vocal work on a few tracks here and the lyrics he and his bandmates have crafted have real weight to them. This album has many themes from youthful thinking to tough topics like dealing with divorce.
If you are looking for something that would rival Cities as the best Anberlin album, here is that competition. It blends new and old styles together and even throws in some really new styles to keep things fresh. The music conveys the themes the lyrics are talking about and the production sounds very professional. This is one of the best albums of the year. Get it now!
