I was gonna wait to listen to this, but I couldn't resist. I want to say AOTY so bad, but I'll wait until I give it a few more listens. What a phenomenal album.

I'm loving the new version of Wedding/Funeral, I knew the song was great, but the finished copy is amazing. read the lyrics.

as of now, Album of the Year for me. not a bad song

Can't wait to check this out!

it's one of the best records i've ever heard. fully satisfies my mellow side. i immediately pre-ordered the cd/shirt/poster bundle upon listening!

Umm..isn't that Aaron singing the high parts? He produced the record. I'm pretty sure it is.

No, this album is all Stephen except for the bridge of Forget Love, to my knowledge. Someone earlier in this thread said Aaron sings on two songs, but I can only hear him on Forget Love.

No, Aaron only actually sang on 2 songs. You can tell it's Stephen because it sounds like he's trying much harder to get that high.

This has the potential to be in my top albums list at the end of the year

I don't think he's trying to sound like Aaron, I just don't think he gets a chance to explore his falsetto much in Anberlin, therefore people aren't used to hearing him sing that high.

I'm going to go listen now

Right, I didn't necessarily mean he was trying to imitate Aaron, even though my wording kind of implied that. All I'm sayin is that I'm not completely sold on Stephen's falsetto range.

It's a wonderful album!

I loves me some Stephen Christian.
