| Anberlin Never Take Friendship Personal |
| Anberlin New Surrender |
| I was actually shocked by how consistently on par with Cities this album was. New Surrender, while not quite overtaking Cities as my favorite Anberlin album, totally blew away my expectations. I just thought that the lack of overall cohesion and a couple of lackluster tracks kept this one from becoming an all time classic. |

| Smooth, groovy, and stylish. Daft Punk truly make disco nu with this record, and dang, it sounds good. |

| This album changed music for me. I don't think I've looked at rock music the same way since I gave this one a listen. |
| Muse Black Holes & Revelations |
| Needtobreathe The Heat |
| I really enjoy this one. The songs are both insanely catchy and at the same time worth listening to. "Washed By The Water" is one of Needtobreathe's best songs ever. A couple of skip tracks place this one below The Outsiders, though. I think "Moving On" deserves more credit than it gets. |
