"the newness has worn off a bit after listening to this so many times, i think i definitely prefer it to cities on the whole"

Same but I gotta stick with Cities. GD&S doesn't even hold a candle to (*fin). Outside of closers Vital has a slight edge but after factoring (*fin) I just can't call this superior in good faith.

Album Rating: 4.0

i love gds, it's really grown on me.

as for type three, it might be my favorite anberlin song outside of fin.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah I've listened to Vital with individual songs so I've probably only heard GD&S like 10x. Hopefully it grows but I'd probably call it one of my 4 least favorite songs on the album.

I can't really comment on Type Three on their discography. I might agree with you there but damn it's hard for me to compare all their awesome songs besides fin being on a different level

Album Rating: 4.0

eh, fair enough. i wasn't big on gds until recently but i've come around to it. i love the gang vocals towards the end.

it's hard for me to rank anberlin songs but i think type three and modern age are very close to fin level for me.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah, GDS and Intentions are both songs that I feel like I don't know well enough to cement my opinions on. When that happens though I'm gonna finish my review for this.

And yeah, I dunno, fin is just on a different level because it's ambitious in a way that Anberlin just never is, and somehow everything works, from the acoustic verses to the over-the-top solos/choir to the improvised section at the end. Type Three is very... heavenly I guess but lacks that grandiosity for it to quite reach fin. Modern Age doesn't really reach there. I adore the verses and the guitar riff during the chorus is cool but I think the vocal effects just prevent it from hitting the next tier. I also don't like the drumwork in the chorus but I think that's because my laptop speakers are shit

Album Rating: 4.0

fair enough.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah Modern Age's drums aren't bad with good sound system but the chorus just lacks that edge

Album Rating: 4.0

eh, i like it. it gets really powerful when the backing vocals come in imo

Album Rating: 4.5

It's not bad, it's like an 8/10 but it could've been a 9.5/10 but maybe it's just me.
I'm still mad Unstable isn't on the album though. It's so great. It'd probably be top 5 if it were on the album

Album Rating: 4.5

"Its weird that you love the chorus so much"

Eh, I'm a weird guy.

Really enjoying this now. After a couple listens it really grew on me. Still preferring Dark is the way though.

Some of this sounds very drossy but when they put some power in it's decent.
