If you're referring to what is bothering me, it's the random capitalization of "The" mid-sentence.

Seen all the positive hype about this album, but l have never really listened to this band. Suggestions for their best 2 albums to listen to? Could this be classed as a top 2 album released by them already?

What are you looking for?



To me, the most logical starting point is Never Take Friendship Personal, and the natural progression is Cities than this.



Blueprints... is not accurate of Anberlin (very immature, fun pop-punk). New Surrender is polished but packs less punch, with a glut of mid-tempo ballads. Dark is the Way... is a mature, consistent effort that is a step into U2-sized grandiosity to mixed results (I enjoyed it; others found the album samey or just boring).



If you had to pick two, I'd say Cities then this. I started with Cities and I was hooked. It's not like you can go wrong, since the band is accessible on all releases.
