Art of War

I would totally take the acoustic live version over anything on this album tbh, Stephens voice is so great on it. Buttttttttt this is not that version so I had to vote accordingly.

 

Take Me (As You Found Me)

 

The Art Of War

 

The Art Of War: 8
Take Me (As You Found Me): 8

Dun dun dunnn

 

I thought we were friends . . .

 

Best song on the album ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I do believe I've tricked the failure gods this time and the song I want to win is finally going to win.

 

Woah woah I thought we were friends

 

Oh man, the first title tiebreaker:

The Art Of War: 8 (9)
Take Me (As You Found Me): 8

Stay tuned for Vital (devotion)!!

 

NEVER TAKE BRACKETS PERSONAL: THE ANBERLIN BRACKET TOURNAMENT

Good evening everyone and welcome to Chorus's next iteration of the discography bracket challenges. It is my pleasure to host a bracket for yet another of my all time favorite bands and I’m excited to see how this shakes out. Quick review: these are randomly generated brackets (no seeding!) to determine a winner for each album, which will then face off in a Champions bracket to decide the best overall Anberlin song!

Rules:
1. Voting over a 10-24 hour period, depending on closeness and how busy i am that day lolz.
2. You must vote on every match in a round; ill only vote in the event of a tie. I am, however, generous with giving my opinions.
3. Please discuss your choices; don’t give the anti-bracketers ammo!
4. Byes may be necessary. These are randomly generated; I do not pick them.
5. Counted votes are signified by me 'liking' your post; no vote changes. Choose wisely!

A word from the wise: People change in the brackets. Oh find the best song if you can. But be very wary, you might just lose yourself along the way.

My second favorite album of theirs.

Unstable
Safe Here

 

-Unstable
-Someone Anyone

Next round is going to be fun

 

Unstable
Safe Here

 

Type Three vs. Modern Age is already giving me anxiety

 

Unstable
Someone Anyone

It's been great hearing the progression in sound on each album. They really hit their stride on Vital/Devotion

 

I know. I was just thinking to myself, "Not too many horrible matchups" then I saw that.

IJSW
Safe Here

Safe Here is the best Anberlin b-side that isn't The Haunting.

 

Didn't expect Someone Anyone to get votes against it. Thought it was a favorite. I believe it's been a setlist staple since the album dropped.

 

I'm surprised too. I adore Safe Here, but didn't know others liked it that much. Esp. against Someone, Anyone (which is great).

 

This is going to be a nice round. There are five songs on this record that I'd be perfectly content if they win.

 

Are 4 of those the first 4 tracks? Such a great start to an album.

 

Unstable
Someone Anyone

 

Unstable
SomeoneAnyone

 

Glad to see you picked the right song!

 

IJSW
Someone Anyone

 

Feels like sometimes singles make it as set staples solely because they’re singles (holy shit that alliteration) and not because they’re that good. Someone anyone is that kind of song to me haha

Take Me is one of my least favorite anberlin songs not on New Surrender hahah and art of war has grown on me a lot
