Little Tyrants has instantly become one of my favorite Anberlin tracks! This album is awesome!

I'll be so bummed if I can't spin this record, it will be a waste of $19.98. ...Anyways, I personally think the 10" size is very interesting. It should've been limited.

it says right on the vinyl itself it plays at 33 1/3. this was after i already switched my record player to a different setting and then realized I didn't need to switch haha

I will preface this with saying that I am a huge Anberlin fan. I wasn't a big fan of Dark... however I could get into 'Impossible' and 'We Owe This To Ourselves' - but overall it was bland and the production was terrible. Never Take Friendship Personal was a landmark record for me. A real pure Anberlin record. Cities was kind of underwhelming after NTFP - and then I feel they picked it back up with New Surrender - which, in my opinion, was the best production Anberlin has seen.

Anyways - this record is just OK so far. I gave it one listen all the way through in the car today - and it seems muddy and all at the same energy level - with very few dynamics. 'Intentions' stuck out to me as a great pop-single effort, but the rest was 'meh'. While I agree its a welcomed departure from Dark... - I don't see all the hype. I also think the production is pretty awful - I expected better from Aaron.

This may change. But that's how I feel as of now.

OHMYGERD!!!!! So good.

HOLY SHIT.

It sounds so urgent!

Incredible record. Well done those men.

cool bro

Why is nobody mentioning Orpheum.
Easily my favourite song on the album. Has an M83/Bloc Party vibe (Waiting for the 7.18). So good

personally, I don't like either of those bands, but Orpheum is also my favorite song on the record.
