Anberlin Band • Page 239

Yeah, weird that they would replace their lead singer

 

Maybe they’ll let Meaty come out and do Phil Snead’s part in Time and Confusion

 

Oh wow they were able to dig up one of the old promo photos

 

They should just play a full SAGOH set.

 

Trying to figure out why I'm even enticed by that announcement. Like, I've seen NTFP in full with Stephen before, and yet I'm still considering a flight to go see them. Is this a tactic?

 

2027: Cities 20-year reunion tour featuring Stephen Christian.

2030: Dark Is the Way 20-year tour, but it’s Memphis May Fire performing with Deon on bass.

2035: 10-year anniversary tour of the recorded version of Never Take Friendship Personal, featuring a newly re-recorded version of the re-recording with Stephen on vocals.

2042: Vital anniversary tour performed entirely by session musicians with a hybrid AI Stephen/Matty frontman.

The marketing speaks for itself!

 

A welcome break from Maury

 

Anberlin needs to release a shirt with all the singer names: Stephen, Phil, Matty, Marty, Maury... Similar to the Cleveland Browns QB jersey

 

make it look like a Wikipedia band member timeline

 

Can’t cope with 2035. Genius strategy.

Thanks for making me laugh.

 

Never Take Anberlin Personal.

We’ve probably said that before.

 

They should make shirts that say “I used to sing for Anberlin”

 

That would actually be amazing

 

I’m happy for the guy regardless of how disappointed I am in the current state of the band. Really just hoping his absence isn’t permanent.

 

Pretty sad that they had to have Stephen beg fans to listen to what the band has become.

 

My first thought is this ^

 

I don't want to sing along with Monty

 

Even if you take Mork out of the equation, it just seems disingenuous from what the band originally stated as fact to how they’re trying to present it now. Stephen has every right to take time off, but the band needs to acknowledge that this may not be temporary. Especially with them re-recording stuff with Mitch on vocals. To me he just doesn’t bring enough to the band for me to continue listening to anything new or seeing them live.

 

yeah, Stephen still seems to indicate in that statement that this is only a step away from touring, but they could've easily rerecorded NTFP with Stephen on vocals. if he's not gonna be recording anything with them right now (despite him saying he's already contributed to some new songs), just be upfront and say so

 

Love to see how many random names Mullins can get as this thread goes on.

 

I'm only invested in this for the drama but that clip of the song Never Take Friendship Personal with Maud's vocals sounds bunk for real

 

I'll check the album out for curiosity's sake, then go back to pretending it doesn't exist once I do another discography run. I do want to believe Mest's vocals won't feel like a total mismatch due to the style they were playing back then, but the music sure is going to lose a lot of its appeal and uniqueness.

 

I am tempted to check out Musty’s version just for morbid curiosity. Still haven’t heard the three singles.

 

I'll listen to it

 

I skimmed through "A Day Late". I've heard enough.
