I missed that rule.

(*Fin), then.

I listen to Godspeed more and it's one of the primary songs that got me into the band but I can't justify voting (*Fin) out first round.

 

Dismantle.Repair. (crazy hard decision)
Alexithymia (The only easy one)
Fin (Okay why did I have to vote out Godspeed in the first round :( )
Reclusion (Unwinding Cable Car is good but Reclusion is one of my favorites on Cities)

 

Dismantle. Repair.

had to run to my favorite performance of Godspeed to check to see if I made the right choice. I love Fin, but yeah I did the right thing.

 

(*Fin) is a musical and lyrical masterpiece that shows the band at their best.

Godspeed is just a really good single.

goddamn it

this poll is gonna make me hate Godspeed... isn’t it?

 

I mean Fin is still almost definitely going to win this bracket handily, there is no denying that. Godspeed is a fantastic song too and I'm actually glad that it is getting some votes rather than being shut out. Shows how strong it is to put up a fight against a behemoth like Fin.

 

(*Fin) was my favourite upon first release but now I think I prefer Dismantle. Repair. if I want a quicker listen.

(*Fin) live is something else though.

And the way they transition and touch similar themes is brilliant. My favourite two Anberlin songs really.

 

Dismantle. Repair.

Alexithymia

(*Fin)

The Unwinding Cable Car


Fuck the first and third matchups. Also I've been very surprised at how some of the votes have gone, this time I can't believe how many votes Reclusion has against Cable Car.

 

Dismantle Repair
Alexithymia
Fin
Cable Car (I did not realize Reclusion was loved so much--it's probably my least fav on the album)

 

Dismantle. Repair.
Alexithymia
(*Fin)
Reclusion

(*Fin) vs. Godspeed was a rough round one matchup and honestly neither of these songs deserves to go out in the first round. Both are important songs in Anberlin's catalog. I listened to Cities on my commute to work this morning and (*Fin) still gives me chills even after all these years. Stephen's vocals around the 3 minute mark of the song are some of my favorite that he has ever done.

I expect (*Fin) to win this bracket and probably the championship bracket too, but I'm not quite sure that it's my favorite on this album. Dismantle. Repair. and Reclusion are right up there for me. This is going to be a difficult bracket for me though, that's for sure!

 

I have to step in here and do my part to correct some serious wrongs:

1. Dismantle. Repair.
2. Alexithymia
3. (*Fin)
4. The Unwinding Cable Car

Ugh, so hard choosing between such great songs! Tough to vote against Godspeed in round one

 

You've all made the right decisions.

(Agree about Godspeed though).

 

Going through the Anberlin discography reminded me of the "Anberlin Forever" fan site from a few years ago. Really great comprehensive look back on the band.

The History of Anberlin, 2002-2014

 

I loved reading through this when it was completed.

 

Hey, thanks!

 

I should give credit where it is due! You did a fantastic job on that!

 

Another vote record! Reclusion lives on in 6 of our hearts.

Dismantle. Repair.: 15
Inevitable: 2

Alexithymia: 17
(Début): 0

(*Fin): 13
Godspeed: 4

Reclusion: 6
The Unwinding Cable Car: 11

Probably safe to move on:

Dismantle. Repair. Vs. Hello, Alone (the punctuation matchup)

Alexithymia Vs. There Is No Mathematics To Love And Loss (the science-y matchup)

(*Fin) Vs. Adelaide (ouch)

The Unwinding Cable Car Vs. A Whisper & A Clamor (the won with the w’s and c’s)

 

Dismantle
Alexithymia
Fin
Whisper (arguably my favorite song on the record)

 

Dismantle. Repair.
Alexithymia
(Fin*)
The Unwinding Cable Car (that was a tough vote)

 

Dismantle. Repair
Alexithymia
(*Fin)
A Whisper & a Clamor

 

Can we take some time to recognize how amazing Inevitable is since it only got two votes? So many unfortunate matchups.
