Acceptance Band • Page 6

I'm so old I remember when "Different" was torn apart for being boring.

 

I loved Different when it came out! This song I do not :/

 

lol and the album leaked suuuuuuuuuper early too from what I remember. Like, in late 2004.

 

Different came on MTV like 110 times a day back then. I wasn't complaining though.

 

I remember hearing Different on some movie soundtrack when I was in 8th grade, and I didn't want to check them out because I thought all their stuff sounded like Coldplay lol

 

Different still confuses me as a single. Capitol (I think?) fucked that one up big time

 

Columbia

Between that, the early leak, and the lead single, they never had a prayer

 

Columbia, capitol, oops. Thanks. They also dropped the ball on Valencia's Where Did You Go? iirc

 

What? I thought they decided they didn't want to go forward? What do you mean they never had a chance..?

 

I mean with that album really catching on and selling well. "So Contagious" could have been huge too. Lot of people had that as their Myspace profile song in 2006 lol

 

Got to see the live debut of "Simple Man". This band is great, it was incredible seeing them live.

 

Different would've made for a fantastic single a little down the road, but making it the lead was a bad choice

 

They weren't even on my radar until Christian joined Anberlin. Then I became a big fan. 2007/08 or so I believe.

 

My bf at the time played a show with them and Emery so that's how I was introduced to them. Prob should have gone with So Contagious instead of Different as their first single.

 

Dang this new song is fantastic

 

"Take Cover" was always my favorite song off Phantoms. I think that could have been a great single too

 

I do love that song but I don't quite think it had that huge "anthemic" aspect that made songs like "Sugar We're Going Down" or "Move Along" huge that summer

 

Everyone loves a good you're a cheater song

 

Take Cover was my #1 but here lately it's been replaced with In the Cold. Can't get enough of that song these days.

"I remember the train you came in on
Everything I want kept calling
I remember the chill that came over
Everything I love went falling

Time shows us that all that ever mattered
All that ever mattered leaves us in the cold
If you ever believe this is what you need
It will spin around and shatter
Throw you to the floor
As it leaves us in the cold"

 

Doing a "first listen" (where I listen to the album and live blog my thoughts as I go through it and answer questions about it) for supporters: First Listen: Acceptance - Colliding by Design

 

Was gonna read that, bummer...

 

What was wrong with "Different" as a single? Captured their sound pretty beautifully. "Take Cover" might've been a more energetic choice but I loved "Different" from the first note.

 

Just reminiscing when i saw these dudes back in 2006. Can't believe they're back making music. Phantoms still holds up to me after all these years. Gotta say I find the new song a bit lackluster, unfortunately.

 

I'm so old I can't even remember what I thought about "Different" when I first heard it.

 

For what it's worth, I think Different is *handily* their worst song
