Reclusion's a top 3-5 anberlin song for me so a 4-song cities run probably needs it in their somewhere

 

This is very astute. Vital isn't even my favorite Anberlin album, but boy does it start off flawlessly.

I will say though, if you do four, Godspeed-Adelaide-A Whisper & A Clamor-The Unwinding Cable Car gives that a run for its money.

This is probably super unpopular but the three song run of Closer-You Belong Here-Pray Tell on Dark is perfect to me.

 

"Adelaide" kinda kills it for me, but I think Godspeed and Whisper and Clamor are strong enough for me to agree.

For Dark, I'd probably go Prey Tell - Art of War - To The Wolves.

 

New Surrender is my second favourite album behind Cities.
Right sound, right time for me. Love me those poppy tunes.

I think it also had to do with the fact that I got on board with Anberlin at the end of the Cities album cycle, I hadn't even got around to familiarizing myself with the two previous albums before I got caught up in my first Anberlin release (NS).

 

It's not pleasant to think about least favorite anberlin songs but whisper and clamor may be mine, at least post-blueprints.

 

Ha, yea... Adelaide does not fit in that album at all, so that run does not work.

 

I swear if I hear anymore Adelaide slander I will burn a house to the ground

 

"Adelaide" is the actual best song of their entire career.

 

Adelaide is a fine song. It just does not work on Cities. It sticks out like a sore thumb on there.

 

Adelaide is perfect, both as a song and in its placement. I have never once listened to Cities and thought "this would be better without Adelaide".

 

I mean, the band disagrees with you. But you do you.

 

Zing dinger

 

the band is also wrong

 

Worst argument.

 

Inevitable, Dismantle. Repair., *Fin.

By far.

 

Nope

 

The hyperbole defending this one song is absurd.

 

A band's opinion of their own work holds no more value than yours or mine.

John Lennon thought 90% of the songs the Beatles wrote sucked at one time or another.

 

I can get behind this.

 

This is the most depressing post in this thread.

 

Cool, glad you feel that way.

 

If Haunting replaced it, itd be a perfect album.

 

You had me until the by far part. The Paperthin- Symphony and the one I posted in the original question are amazing too.

 

That might be my number 2 but it's still an easy choice for me.
