SpazzyMcGee Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Anberlin's final album.Gooey fingers is for the vinyl release, copper painted nails is the "preorder exclusive" alternate cover.From Anberlin: http://www.shopbenchmark.com/anberlin/catalog/category/view/s/lowborn/id/1132/T&N: http://toothandnail.merchline.com/collections/vinyl/products/anberlin-lowborn-vinyl-mp3-download1.

HarbingerThe crossed fingers also mean this "To cross one's fingers was a hand gesture mainly used to implore God for protection, as well as to wish for good luck. The gesture is referred to by the common expression "keeping one's fingers crossed" or just "fingers crossed" and has also been historically used in order to allow believers to recognize one another during times of persecution."

AlexH. Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 A little info about the making-of, "Instead of recording the album together, the musicians did their parts with separate producers they each selected. Drums were recorded with Matt Goldman in Atlanta and later combined with bass and guitar in Lakeland, FL with Copeland’s Aaron Marsh. Vocals were recorded with the band’s longtime collaborator Aaron Sprinkle in Franklin, TN." This sounds like... a really dumb way to make an album? I haven't really kept up with Anberlin since Cities, are they not on good terms with each other or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wonder if all the different covers will spell sometime in sign language? No, I think that, that is just their new "Symbol" they debuted on the last tour/album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chhholly123 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Not a fan of the cover, but I'll definitely be picking this up. So glad Aaron Marsh and Aaron Sprinkle are involved. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Wonder if all the different covers will spell sometime in sign language? the theory around the Anberlin forum is that different formats will get different covers, like with JT last year. Or I could be completely wrong lol This sounds like... a really dumb way to make an album? I haven't really kept up with Anberlin since Cities, are they not on good terms with each other or something? It could be incredibly awesome and gel really well.....or sound disconnected and like mismatched puzzle pieces.. They're all good friends so the separate recording is odd to me. I think they might have just recorded it separately but worked on it together? KJL95 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Will buy, no questions. Seriously sad to see these guys go. It is very interesting how openly predetermined the breakup is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpazzyMcGee Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Will buy, no questions. Seriously sad to see these guys go. It is very interesting how openly predetermined the breakup is. From one of the guitar players, "What is unique about the end of Anberlin is that we discussed where people were at in their lives, what that meant for the band, and then made plans for the end on our own terms." Looking at it from a marketing/promotion standpoint, it's brilliant. Get a well-loved band with a solid fanbase, announce the coming breakup, old fans come back for the old memories and current fans will eat it up Then when the tour comes, people who had putting it off have the only reason to go. Just the inner PR guy in me talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The album art immediately reminded me of 16 year olds daring sexual adventures. SpazzyMcGee and Derek™ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippingOut Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Stoked! Will be ordering and hopefully seeing them on their farewell tour at least 2 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardacus Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Will buy, no questions. Seriously sad to see these guys go. It is very interesting how openly predetermined the breakup is. Same here. I've followed this band since their first record back in 02' so I'm really sad to see them go too. Lots of memories with this band and their albums. Thankfully I've been fortunate enough to see them twice in my hometown and hopefully I'll get to see them one last time on their farewell tour.

dreamover Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 the album cover looks like someone just fingered an alien. jordan butcher (the artist) said it's salad dressing. what a dumb cover. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I actually enjoy Vital more than whatever the hell was before that (I'm too lazy to look it up). This could be a cool way to go out. Planned last albums never seem to live up to the hype though. I hope this is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planned last albums never seem to live up to the hype though. I hope this is different. I feel like Vital was their best work up to this point. So to me, they have a lot to live up to since their last effort was so great. The last album you're talking about was Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place. Which, had a few stand out tracks, but was overall disappointing as a whole. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I want to hear a song off this before I order it... I really liked Vital. It was the first record from them that I was into since Cities. I've never come across a band so hit or miss for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The singer described it as a mix between Dead American (from Devotion) and Paperthin Hymn so I think that bodes well Going to hold off on listening since it's their last album, that's me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the names are rarely used in the song, like Type Three or Orphuem from their last album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
