Anberlin Band • Page 141

I’m not religious, so his solo worship stuff isn’t really my thing, but I really love the most recent Anchor & Braille record. Probably enjoy it more than a couple Anberlin records and I really like all of their records.

 

As someone who used to be very religious and now is not at all, I can confirm that neither of those versions of me like that worship album. At all.

 

pretty much the last thing i want is another worship album from stephen christian.

 

The big guy is just so deserving though

 

his worship album was the worst off all his musical projects by far

 

Easily the worst

 

Same goes for Aaron Gillespie's body of work as well. Sightly related, but felt like saying it.

 

god, those worship albums were especially rough. I do like the one solo record that was a mixture of reimagined Underoath and The Almost songs, a couple covers, and a few new originals though.

 

Agreed, though it wasn't like... mindblowing, the non-religious solo stuff is certainly better

 

I just got a shipping notice for the Cities livestream record!

that definitely sounds new. anyone able to tell who's at the desk?

 

Oh buddy. Stoked for this one!

 

There it is!!

 

Holy shit, I absolutely need to catch this one!

edit: Are their livestreams usually available for a little while afterwards? I just realized this will happen at like 2 AM which will make it difficult for me to be free.

 

Yeah they’ve been available for like a week after.

 

Easy purchase. Now hopefully my work computer doesn’t block video recording.

 

Hope we get some news on the new album

 

I can totally see them announcing a livestream and release of LP8 after they play Lowborn. If that ends up being the case, I’d be hard pressed to think of another band who has given more to their fans.

Like, even up to now, they’re my favorite band and I was crushed when they called it quits. But by the end of that year I felt like I’d been pampered so much as a fan that I was totally satisfied. And now they’re coming back with all of this. Man, I love these guys!

 

Great point. They reunited and really went full throttle on the comeback. Covid halted a lot of things for them, but they sure made the best of it.

 

If they aren't considering this option, they need to hire a better marketing team lol. It's interesting to consider that Stephen let it slip they were doing a new album during the very first livestream and since then it's been completely silent. I'd bet they decided to this series as a lead-up to a new album shortly after that first livestream...fingers crossed, as always.

 

Wild they’ve been back for over 2 years

 

Would love to have the new record premiered at a livestream. It’s a no-brainer right? Right??

 

Paper Tigers up on Spotify.

Some of the songs sound better than the actual recordings. Love Breaking and the added synths!

 

Damn, that album is so good. Very underrated.
