 (6 Customer Reviews)
Sticky sweet pop melodies, explosive pop-punk chord progressions, "sensitive guy" lyrics. Yep, this should all sound pretty darn familiar if you're a rock fan circa the early 21st century, as there's been an endless stream of bands (for years by this point) that meet all the prerequisites of the aforementioned checklist. And on their 2007 release, Cities, there are certain moments that you can definitely add Anberlin to this list. Thankfully, they don't specialize in that annoying frat-boy-esque shtick that some pop-punk bands do; instead, Anberlin can be quite an ambitious bunch that go the emo route. While songs such as the album opening "Godspeed" sounds like your average pop-punk band of the moment, tracks such as the acoustic guitar-driven "The Unwinding Cable Car" is emo at its most naked (and includes some pretty darn impressive vocal harmonies). But for the most part, the tunes sound like a hopeful trying to win over the judges in the latest episode of Rockstar, especially on such tracks as "Adelaide" and "Hello Alone." Nothing too groundbreaking here, but nothing cringe-worthy, either. ~ Greg Prato

I don't have any of their CD's but this one but let me tell you... it's great! It has preety much everything, rock such as 'Godspeed' and 'Reclusion' and heartfelt acoustics such as 'The Unwinding Cable Car'. But to me, their overall best song is (*Fin). It's approximately 9 minutes long but you absolutely must hear the whole thing.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Anberlin blends soft ballads with soaring rock songs.
Christian's vocals are as good as ever on Anberlin's third album. Rock anthems "Godspeed" and "Reclusion" are awesome with the song "Dismantle Repair" sounding similar to "Never Take Friendship Personal." My favorite song on the album is "Alexithymia." I love the chorus line "with downcast eyes there's more to living then being alive." The other standout songs for me on this CD were "Hello Alone", "A Whisper and A Clamor", and "Fin." The mellower ballads while not packing the same emotional energy of the harder anthemic songs are still good listening. Listening to the whole album beginning to end is an emotional journey through sadness, loss, and depression, but depression with a glimmer of hope.

Cities album
 $10.75  
Seattle's Tooth & Nail has developed a reputation as the home for positive-thinking, hookalicious pop-punk and alternative combos, many sporting fancy haircuts and a Christian-influenced worldview. Anberlin fits this mold. Led by the soaring, slightly froggy-voiced vocals of Stephen Christian, the band also includes Joseph Milligan (guitar), Nathan Young (drums), Joey Bruce (guitar), and Deon Rexroat (bass). Blueprints for the Black Market features 11 songs buffed to a gleaming finish by producer Aaron Sprinkle, ex of Christian punkers Poor Old Lu. While it accesses the earnestness of emo through a side door, Blueprints ...

THE NAYSAYERSThe Best Band You've Never heard OfWith unforgettable songwriting and a sound reminiscent of timeless bands like The Jayhawks, BoDeans and Tom Petty, The Naysayers could possibly be the best band you've never heard of.From songwriting deals with Warner Chappell, to leading the popular 80's group Thinman, Dennis Winslow and Rod Langdahl are no newcomers to the game. Both in their 40's they've been witness to the epic highs and inevitable lows of the music biz. So when the two formed The Naysayers in 2005 they had no intention of making it big!just making great music. For that reason the Portland, Oregon based group has managed to remain largely under the radar. At the same time, however, both of their independently released albums. Life Without Regrets and Misery Loves Company, have been lauded by industry insiders and earned them a staunch, underground following throughout the Northwest. Terry Currier of Music Millennium called their 2005 debut Life Without Regrets, "!one of the catchiest albums of the year."And it is no wonder-their talent for writing seems to grow faster than the gray hairs in their beards. For the last five years Winslow has been a songwriter for FirstCom Music and placed cuts in an arrays of national television shows and films including the likes of Crossroads, "CSI, " "The Unit," "Live! With Regis and Kelly," "The Bernie Mac Show," "American Idol," "Saturday Night Live," "Access Hollywood." "Extra," "Young and the Restless," Playboy Channel's "7 Lives Exposed" "The 700 Club" and many more. In addition, he and Langdahl also pitch songs together in Nashville through renowned song plugger Chris Keaton, specically for the Nashville market and separate from material they write for The Naysayers. Winslow (vocals and guitar) and Langdahl (vocals, guitar and keyboard) are joined by Rick ...
