mmhmm Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 http://www.shopbenchmark.com/anberlin/new-stuff/anberlin-vital-album.html A double 10" vinyl...who came up with that idea? Every other Anberlin record is a 12", not to mention 10"s are just lame. Shipping is awful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 And for anyone who follows Anberlin, they'll know there is supposed to be a deluxe edition with bonus tracks, and possibly a documentary. Not sure what's up with these packages...I ended up pulling the trigger on one of the lowest packages simply because I was pretty sure I caught it early enough to be one of the first 50 preorders (bonus t-shirt). But man, I had a tough time deciding which one of those t-shirts was the least cringe-worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 listened to a new song about a month ago and i thought it was atrocious. this band is never going to top NTFP / Cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 I wonder if 300 people are actually going to order that $65 package ($75 with vinyl instead of CD option)...heck, I'm wondering if 50 people are going to order that $175 package, even. Having handwritten lyrics and a canvas print that says "Vital" is kinda cool I guess, but given that there will be 5 copies of each Vital song handwritten, it just doesn't seem as unique/special to me. Plus, that $175 package is essentially forcing you to buy the drummer's $40 photo book lolol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donlombardo Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Um. double 10"? hmm... hopefully these will be readily available for a while, like the last album. I'll buy it if it's any good. So glad I got NTFP this year and Cities last year. Amazing albums. I dig the album cover though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 this album is very good, it borrows a lot from Cities, Never Take Friendship Personal, and Dark is the Way, it's more aggressive than the last album and it's fairly dark in some parts. I think those who were disappointed with the band's last two releases will be really stoked on this album. anyways, the 175 dollar preorder is cool, but I don't want to drop 175 bucks, weird vinyl option being 2x10" will wait to see if any other retailers get something different or better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardacus Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I really liked the first two tracks they've premiered of this record. Hopefully the album, as a whole, will be just as great. Their last two records were terrible. But ya, very tempted to buy this, but money's realllly tight right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Maybe the song lengths were making it difficult to fit them all onto a single LP in a way that preserved quality, but it's also a short enough album that doing a double LP would've been ridiculous. Still, you just add b-sides and presto, you've got enough material for a double LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippingOut Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 people are hating on New Surrender and Dark Is The Way Light Is A Place? Anberlin is one of my favorite bands and i enjoy their whole catalog....every album brings something different than the previous one.

I don't see any hating going on in this thread...but maybe there will be now that you brought up the subject of New Surrender. Nice going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1ZZAPARTY Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Went ahead and pulled the trigger on the vinyl... not sure how I feel about the 2x10", but I'm a big fan of Anberlin so this is a no-brainer. Briefly considered the $175 package but that was only for the lyrics sheet. As much as I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have a framed, hand-written lyrics sheet on my wall, I can't justify the money. Maybe someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have a framed, hand-written lyrics sheet on my wall, I can't justify the money. you can still have a framed hand written lyric sheet on your wall for less than $175 odds are they will be photocopies anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 There were briefly clips of every song available on iTunes a bit ago and while I chose not to listen to them, the people who did are saying this album sounds stellar.

somethingvinyl Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was going to get this because I still think Anberlin are a good band, but $30 for a new record shipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
