They couldn't have made this record without Dark Is The Way and New Surrender. I hear a lot small parts from those. I actually don't hear much Cities vibe at all. This just sounds like an all new progression of Anberlin to me.

Anyways I'm loving this one a lot! I can't wait to rock out to some of these songs live.

likewise. Dark had a lot of really home-hitter lyrics for me. same with NS. but I also love everything they put out, whether its a full-length of a B-side

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.
