unfortunately it's been a thing. https://www.instagram.com/meatymullins?igsh=czFxcTl1bTFnYXZh

 

But it doesn't have to be a thing here.

 

true

 

Thankfully I have a tool I'm going to use in regards to the last few posts

 

You've got Will Smith in your basement?

 

my friend who follows him personally said he was always happy to come home from tour, didn't like being out on tour, etc so they weren't surprised when he announced he was leaving the band.

 

Yeah it’s been known touring was killing Stephen mentally. He didn’t wanna be away from his kids that long. And honestly, that’s great. I get it.

 

Never Take Friendships Personal came out 1st February 2005.

20 years today!

 

This is insane to me and making my brain hurt because Everything in Transit by Jack’s Mannequin came out in August 2025 and I could have sworn i listened to NTFP for years before Jack’s Mannequin was even a thing, not something that came out six months after NTFP.

 

Such a cohesive album. Not my favorite by them, but definitely gets grabbed off my shelf and thrown on my turntable pretty often.

 

I totally get that, there’s so many albums from 2005 that I can’t believe were released right in a row. Add The Everglow, Acceptance - Phantoms, Son I Loved You at Your Darkest… What a year

 

Anchor & Braille - New Mexico (February) • forum.chorus.fm

 

hate that I gave this band money but that 20th year vinyl splatter is sick

 

There’s a good interview with Matty Mullins on the Black Sheep Podcast. First half is about Memphis May Fire, second half is about Anberlin. Probably nothing much that we haven’t heard before.

I’m not fussed about a Matty fronted band and think it’s been a completely misguided and poorly executed idea (still not heard any of the three songs and living quite contentedly in that reality!) but he seems like a nice guy overall.

 

Yeah I know a TON of really nice people that I don't want to sing for Anberlin

 

I don’t think Marty is some massive prick. I just don’t like his voice.

 

happy 18th birthday to my favourite album of all time

 

I still remember such specific memories with this album - sitting in my dorm being blown away when it came out, being so excited when I snagged a copy for RSD 2011. I didn't think Aaron Sprinkle could take everything from NTFP and make it so much bigger. I know what I'm listening to next

 

Cities is a no skips album, top-3 album of all time for me, and likely Anberlin's best. I'm partial to Vital purely based on emotion and what I was experiencing in my life at the time, but Cities truly is their peak.

 

I wuz gonna say...he was the wrinkly lead emo singer when lead emo singers were 16.
