Anberlin's New Album Cities

Anberlin is the 4th most listened to artist on my iPod. For some reason, of all the bands I listen to , Anberlin appeals to me the most- the guitar is phenomenal, the lyrics are good enough to not bore me the next time I hear the song, and the drummer is always in sync with the vocals and guitars.

I have been listening to Anberlin since 2003, when their first album Blueprints for the Black Market came out. I remeber the first time I popped in the CD, I was taken away by the first song, Readyfuels. Since then, I became a huge fan of Anberlin. Their next album, out in 2005, Never Take Friendship Personal was another success. Songs such as Paperthin Hymn and The Feel Good Drag are still some of my favorite songs of all time. In just a couple of years, Anberlin had composed itself into ears of its listeners.

So, I just couldn't wait till Cities came out in mid-February 2007. The first track is a small intro, and then the second track plays. Track two, 'Godspeed', has amazing guitar and vocals, and Track 3, 'Adelaide', soon became my favorite song from the album. Over these four years, Anberlin has matured from a new band into a fanbase of thousands across the world. Their songs appeal to all, and ratings for Cities have been really great, with most at four out of five or higher.

Next time I run, I am definitely going to listen to Anberlin again. Their songs never lose quality, and now, more than four years later, everytime I listen to Readyfuels, it feels as though I am listening to a new song. Check out their new album at purevolume.com.
