| 10 Years Into the Half Moon | 1.5 |
| Yes... this was before they evolved into a radio rock band... but listen to "The Autumn Effect" and tell me they aren't one of the best radio rock bands out there. As such, this album does little to display the bands later direction and is, as a whole, relatively poor. |

| This album is a mixed bag, it offers some awesome moments blended with some awful ones. |
| Anberlin Cities | 3.0 |
| Anberlin featuring redundant lyrics, dull structures, songs that have remarkably little to offer, ubiquitous filler, and surprisingly, several moments of brilliance. (*Fin) is the perfect closer and deserves a 4.5 however the album fails to build to this point. It's a shame, I wanted to like this album. |
