Anberlin Band • Page 275

They should just do a live album instead of rerecording the old songs in studio. Haven’t heard this one yet but they sound much better live with him than in the studio

 

Better, he wears a mask of Stephen’s face

 

The music video went so hard

 

there are already 10 great Anberlin live albums (11 if you count that shit quality one they recorded at House of Blues that they pulled off of iTunes, and if you include Spotify and Daytrotter sessions, that's 13). the last thing we need is another rehashing all of their most well-known songs sung by a different vocalist.

 

The biggest twist with the Readyfuels music video is it was so corny before to the level of being embarrassing, but now in 2025 it's campy and retro in a way that could be considered cool again.

What does that even mean, recreating it as a fake chat?

 

so a song only matters if it... *checks notes* ...cracks the top 10 of Spotify? got it

watch as this version also fails to crack the top 10

 

i dont hate this. i wouldnt ever really listen to it again, but its not bad.

 

I wonder who wrote this?

 

“I can’t believe this song isn’t a top-10 Anberlin song so I needed to re-record it with my voice”

What

 

Unfortunately Anberlin did in fact write 10 songs better than Ready Fuels.

Though I don't think I'd put both versions of Feel Good Drag, Breaking and The Resistance in that list

 

Permanent doesn't count

 

Yeah permanent is just there because of recently, look at the stream count

 

AI e-mail bot

 

or a depeche mode cover

 

man that lost songs cover art made me flashback to old times. I used to love "the haunting" so much

 

still a little bummed the full Lost Songs album hasn't gotten a vinyl release yet

 

I still do, it's one of their best songs.

 

goddammit. that is incredible

 

Yeah, ever since T&N sold their catalog to Capitol it's meant so many albums that could've seen a vinyl pressing likely never will...I do wonder if they considered it for the box set but found it cost prohibitive with probably needing to be a 2xLP. Who knows.

 

part of me thinks that the boxset was primarily focused on just getting those first 7 albums out the door in their base forms (the same way they appeared on vinyl originally, albeit maybe condensed onto one disc). it would've been cool to include Lost Songs, but i think that would've opened the door for pulling in bonus tracks from other albums too, which would expand at least two other albums (NS and Vital) to double LPs, and would also require more coordination. all the old T&N records are under Capitol Christian, which is a division of Universal, so essentially those first 6 albums in their base form are controlled by one entity - Universal, and coordinating a deal to include Lowborn (entirely under T&N's ownership) wouldn't be a far cry. adding bonus tracks from Devotion requires coordination with Big3 (which i believe is now defunct), unless the band had full rights over those masters for the 3 extra songs. i guess it also didn't help that most of the Republic-era bonus tracks were scattered across retailers until being compiled into deluxe rereleased (save for DITW). i think they were probably going for convenience above anything else. idk if they'd do an expanded Lost Songs with their post-T&N bonus tracks, but i would love to have all of those bonus songs on vinyl one day (assuming i still care enough about Anberlin down the line to purchase any of their records again)

 

Devotion needs a full 12" 2xLP release... been preaching this for years. Vital should have never been pressed on 10"

 

i'd sell my soul for Devotion on vinyl (although that 1xLP of Vital from the boxset does sound fantastic)
