Which "Feel Good Drag" do you prefer?

[topher465]

The Never Take Friendship Personal version produced by Aaron Sprinkle or the New Surrender version produced by Neal Avron?

[mike001359]

The Nevever Take Friendship Personal version produced by Aaron Sprinkle or the New Surrender version produced by Neal Avron?


Nevever? lol but yeah The Never Take Friendship Personal version is def better and the cd as a whole is way better.

[Echo Park]

personally, i never really liked the song to begin with. but the guitaring in that song is dope

[eriatarka24]

Never Take Friendship Personal

[DCfreak]

NTFP, I was excited that they made it their single for New Surrender, but it really felt like they took some of the power out of it.

[kevinnn220]

I think if they took the guitar intro from the New Surrender version and added it to the NTFP version it would be perfect. I voted NTFP.

[MattRM]

I think, overall, it sounds better on New Surrender, but the scream at the end of the bridge on the NTFP version adds to much intensity to the song, so it's a bummer they took it out.

[bandnamexmyname]

The version on NFTP is way more raw and more emotional. While the New Surrender is cleaner and has a little better instrumentation, the vocals aren't powerful enough on that one.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

[EvaMore]

Despite the superior intro of the New Surrender version, it is way too clean. The Never Take Friendship Personal version is the song that go me into Anberlin. It's aggressive and rough and just all around great.

[Emil_sebe]

NTFP, definitely.

[Brand-new-123]

Anyone who doesn't say NTFP is incorrect.

[topher465]

The drums are killer on the NTFP version too

[Tristan Needler]

Never heard it, I don't even know who it's by, but I doubt anyone could do a better job than Aaron Sprinkle at pretty much anything.

[catherinexhimel]

NTFP, for sure.

[SunnyInPhilly]

NTFP hands down. I don't know what made them think they could improve an already amazing song.

[Debut_Fin]

Never heard it, I don't even know who it's by, but I doubt anyone could do a better job than Aaron Sprinkle at pretty much anything.

You don't know who it's by but you know that one of them was produced by Aaron Sprinkle?

[kevinnn220]

I'm guessing he read the first post.

Haha it was in the first post.

I didn't actually vote, if that makes anyone feel better.

[Sean Rizzo]

I love both, but I gotta say New Surrender.

[sdisticsquirrel]

NTFP. i like his screaming, which is pretty much the only difference

[xtheaudition]

ntfp one is classic, but the new surrender one is more polished a lil shorter.

[aradiantsunrise]

Definitely the NTFP version.

[bang.bang.BANG!]

i like the solo more in the New Surrender version, but stephen's scream in NTFP fits perfectly

[xapplexpiex]

NTFP for sure.

[Broden Terry]

Definitely the Never Take Friendship Personal version.

[inthemidst]

The guitar-lead to open the track on the Never Take Friendship Personal version is a good segue-way. Plus, it's fun to listen to Stephen Christian scream during the refrain "failure is your disease!". Nice.

[HometownHero]

Never Take Friendship Personal

And it makes all the difference. I like the emotion the screaming puts into it.

[ind1ekid]

I love the ntfp version. But im glad they managed to get the song out to the masses with new surrender. It deserved all the attention it got!

[WakeTheGiant]

Ntfp.

[Pawan1993]

Haha it was in the first post.

Vote for the NTFP version and all is forgiven :)

[zachff]

Never Take Friendship Personal. That's also the only Anberlin album I could ever get into

[SpyKi]

NTFP, for sure. It's my least favourite song from that album though.

[Mattylikesfilms]

NTFP, I was excited that they made it their single for New Surrender, but it really felt like they took some of the power out of it.

agreed.

NTFP all the way. NS sucked for the most part.

[Mattylikesfilms]

please give Cities another spin. Thats their best.

[zachff]

Well since you asked nicely

[Mattylikesfilms]

Well since you asked nicely

You'll thank me later ;-)

[AussieBoy]

Friendship, fell in love with that cd, and was my first anberlin cd

plus has that rawer scream in it

guitar intro in new one is funky though

[superBMRuth]

The version on NFTP is way more raw and more emotional. While the New Surrender is cleaner and has a little better instrumentation, the vocals aren't powerful enough on that one.
this. end thread.

[gjpinizz]

wow, tough choice, i cant decide

[B.G.]

NTFP> NS but congrats go out to the NS version for being a no.1 hit.

[fueledbyvictory]

I didn't know there were two versions. I need to listen to the first one.

[introduction]

Sprinkle, easily.

[fightinirish217]

NTFP version for sure. My avatar gives it away. NS version isnt bad at all though, and it got them to #1 so it was certainly a good choice to re-record.

[djemilah]

Definitely the NTFP one, though if the guitars from New Surrender were combined with the original vocals....

[guitarpickheart]

The version on New Surrender seemed to have all the passion taken out of it. My favorite part of the song was the bridge, which in the Never Take version included screaming but the NS version didn't. I do think the NS version was sung better, though.

[fanberlinboy]

I can never pick.

[S9Dallasoz]

Doesn't matter.
My favorite song of all time.
