deltadon Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I read comments from band. Vinyl is getting the sale dressing fingers. Tooth and nail and anberlin webstore have exclusive black cover. There will be many other various covers, but I think vinyl is only getting one cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MixMastrMariano Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Okay, just a couple responses I need to make.1) The cover looking "dirty" is a juvenile comment. Who the hell crosses their fingers when doing something sexual to someone? It's supposed to look like gold. I personally imagine it's supposed to be the crossed fingers hand being turned slowly into gold, almost a Midas' touch reference. 2) The gray cover with the gold on the hand is the "official cover". It's the one being used on the vinyl and digital releases. The vinyl one is actually a bit different, with the band name and album title in the corners. The one where it's centered is the official cover. The colors are exclusive to the different physical copies. 3) If Dissenter is too heavy for you to the point where you as an Anberlin fan think it's "not worth 1/10 of the album", you have a very limited taste. Were the screams in "The Feel Good Drag" too much? Just because the song is mostly scream-ish doesn't make it "not Anberlin". It fits within the energy of their sound. And honestly, he's not even screaming....he's shouting with some distortion on his vocal track. Can you not make it through an Underoath song, because that's WAY heavier. And I just can't stand fans acting like the band "owes them" 10 songs (or more) of what they want stylistically. They don't owe you crap.There are many examples of great "random" heavy shout songs in the middle of an album....it's actually pretty cool. An extreme example is "My First Punk Song" on the Box Car Racer record. It breaks up the album with a sort of unexpected fast and energetic song, almost to shift the flow. Anberlin knows what they're doing. deltadon and THE_James_Champ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I personally don't think the band "owes us 10 more songs" but I feel there will be more than a couple of B-Sides to their final album, like what they did with Vital. deltadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I personally don't think the band "owes us 10 more songs" but I feel there will be more than a couple of B-Sides to their final album, like what they did with Vital. Photos from their recording sessions for this album seem to say otherwise. I bet it's 10 songs and no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not trying to be greedy but ever since cities Ive been spoiled with "this edition has more tracks" And its usually a good deal of b sides. so kinda a bummer they have stated no b sides no deluxe editions with extra tracks. Since this is last album, i wouldn't be upset if a bonus ep came out with some b sides but i am not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Well, I guess fans just got lucky with Vital huh? There were, what, 6 B-Sides? That was a nice compliment to the album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWasteOfATime Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I feel like the quickness with which they put this whole record together, there might not be b-sides. Also 3 of the songs on devotion were recorded later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardacus Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 well the album's has officially been pushed back to July 22.. from their Twitter: "@anberlin: Due to stuff we can't control (and some unpleasant aspects of this music business stuff), #Lowborn's release date has been moved to July22."

Fridge Fox Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 on a side note, why was the D-side of the Vital vinyl blank when they had so many bsides? Unstable should have been on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many good songs not pressed. I mean, they didn't even do an etching. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 My complaint is that (other than the cover reveal) T&N hasn't done much of anything to promote the album so I'm glad it's getting delayed. If anything this could give them more buzz but I think the label was unprepared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to hear when you started listening to Anberlin. Because this reads of someone who's been there since the beginning, but I actually saw these guys play in Florida prior to forming Anberlin when a few of them were in Sagoh 24/7, and I know you were not one of the seven people at those shows.

AWasteOfATime Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I wonder if this means they'll play less songs from it during Warped. I figured it'd be a very greatest hits-esque set, and this should seal the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chhholly123 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Just got an email from Merchline... they updated the download code, so you get Stranger Ways and Hearing Voices (just like the iTunes preorder). Sounds pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0new0lf7 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I was really hoping for a color variant for pre order. Would I be stupid to hold out on buying physical copy until a second press thats hopefully colored to come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first three were all part of a record store day in 2011 i believe and the band didn't know anything about the pressings. New surrender is the only color vinyl anblerin has for an LP. Vital and Dark/Light are also black. I doubt this will get a repress. This will probably be the only pressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
