Agreed!
Also, I think for all the crap New Surrender gets, someday people are going to look back on that album and realize it was a fantastic record that just so happened to be the follow-up to Cities. The album artwork was awesome for it, too. |
I like New Surrender a hell of a lot, and I love what they did with Brendan O'Brien on Dark is the Way... but Sprinkle + Anberlin are just meant for each other. He really helped created the sound that made them stand out above the rest of the pop/punk/rock bands flooding the market when they came on to the scene, and I think as good as the records they did without him were, it just ain't the same without him behind the controls.
