I thought it was a great CD. I think the lyrics are better, and the sound is more diverse. I love that they threw in some acoustics, but also had some of the heavy one the I really love also like Hello Alone and Godspeed. I also thought Milligan on lead guitar was once again suberb and the music was very well written.

"Hello Alone" is not, and never will be, a heavy song in any context.

I agree...I thought the lyrics were excellent...they may have been less rock like lyrics like NTFP....but they were much deeper....

I thought the lyrics were much more poetic this time around. They matched the music perfectly.

Not as good as I expected it to be, but still pretty good. I prefer their last CD to this new one. 8 for me.

Yah know what? I don't think it deserves a 10 as I formerly said. It should get a nine.
The lyrics are better (In my opinion) - but it doesn't sound quite as good as NTFP.

The lyrics were better, the music was maybe a bit more well recorded, the tracks were more solid as a whole. I thought it was a tad bit depressing, even though ntfp was slightly too. I think that the lead singer sometimes sings too high for his own good. When I decided to get into anberlin, it was because I heard "glass to the arson". I haven't actually heard that cd, but all of their other songs sound nothing like it. I sometimes wonder if their first cd had that sound because I'm not sure what it is but I like it. Here are my top favorite anberlin songs

Glass to the arson
Paper thin hymn
Runaway
Alexthemia
Dismantle Repair

I loved it. "Godspeed," "A Whisper And A Clamor," and "Fin" are my favorites.

this album will no doubt hold some of my favorite songs of the year....but I think "Fin"....maybe be the best song of the year....and maybe the longest

Not the longest. Relient K's "Deathbed" is 12 minutes.
