Upcoming Anberlin album

Oh!Gravity · 04-18-2008, 04:39 PM

...will be titled "New Surrender" and this is what is known about it so far (and some stuff that really has nothing to do with the album):

- There are some "Guitar Hero" ready songs on the album with massive guitar parts.
- There is an epic closer, like Fin on Cities.
- They are going to India in December.
- They are playing new stuff on Warped.
- Anberlin wants to tour badly with Brand New.
- Anberlin is pushing for one of their songs to be on Rock Band.
- There are songs on the record that sound like Paperthin Hymn.
- The record has lots of diverse instruments
- They combined a couple of songs that sounded alike into one mega song
- stephens laptop did really get stolen but he had most of the stuff written down in a journal.
-nate is starting an art company

Sounds good to me.

I still need to get the last two albums. I only have Blueprints For The Black Market.

I'd highly suggest Never Take Friendship Personal. Cities is also good, but in my opinion, not as amazing as NTFP.

Mind pointing to the update/news that you got all this info from?

I'm a little skeptical of the fact that its coming out only about 1 year after cities... here's hoping its as good as their other albums.

What do you mean when you say Guitar Hero ready songs? I know I'd love to play Anberlin on Guitar Hero or Rock Band!

Wikipedia tells me the release date is August.

It was on their forums posted by the admin "reid."

For dtaylor, I think what they mean by "Guitar Hero ready songs" is that the songs just have amazing guitar work and they are trying to get a song in Rock Band. I also am skeptical of it only coming out a year after Cities. But I hope it's amazing.

New song is bleh.

I like it more than anything on Cities.....but it's still just okay.

The album comes out tomorrow! Except I'll be at school all day and might not have a chance to get to any cd stores before they close...

Actually, Anberlin could be in Guitar Hero World Tour. Activision has contracts with Universal records and other major labels to provide master tracks to be used in the game. I didn't see Anberlin on the list, but they could very well be in there any way. (the list said "and many more")

Anyone listened to the entire album yet?

dtaylorl · 10-05-2008, 07:20 PM

I got it on Friday... have listened many times and am loving it. IMO, better than Cities and gives NTFP a run for its money. I like the old Feel Good Drag a little better though.

I so have to get it...

They shouldn't have remade that song...it was great the first time.

Seriously. The new version is too polished... The rawness of the original is what made it cool. The new one doesn't feel right tempo wise either... I need to listen to the old version again, but the new one feels like it's a couple clicks faster, making it feel like it's a bit rushed.

Wow, I totally over analyzed that. I haven't heard anything else off the new one, though. Might check it out.
