Atonement

 

Not the final that I would’ve chosen, but these are both great songs. These are practically dead even for me. I just listened to them back-to-back twice. By the slightest margin, my vote goes to

Atonement

 

Atonement

 

Atonement: 9
Stranger Ways: 6

The plot thickens

 

Stranger Ways

 

Stranger Ways

 

Please more people vote for Stranger Ways. Hahaha Atonement is good, but not “make it to the finals” good. And Stranger Ways is probably the best song on Lowborn.

 

Fixed. Being right looks good on you.

 

... goddamn it.

 

Stranger Ways

IMO not the perfect final for Lowborn but I think these two tracks are much better in the context of the album than Self Starter and Little Tyrants were for Vital.

 

Gets them every time!

 

Stranger Ways

 

Stranger Ways

 

Atonement: 9
Stranger Ways: 11

and just like that, Stranger Ways surges into the lead!

 

Stranger Ways - one of my fav Anberlin songs. Great sound and quite unique for them.

 

Are we doing Lost Songs next?

 

That is indeed the plan!

 

Atonement

 

Stranger Ways

 

Late, but here mah rank

Vital
Cities
Lowborn
Dark
NTFP

Blueprints

It's been really fun going through their discography again. I'll be honest though I don't listen to them as much as I used to.

 

Currently listening to their whole discography start to finish and ranking each song out of 10. Averaging them out per album. Currently in the middle of New Surrender.

 

Another record down on the final matchup of the final album

Atonement: 10
Stranger Ways: 13

Stranger Ways takes the lowborn bracket! Stay tuned for Lost Songs.

 

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.

ANBERLIN FACE OFF:
LOST SONGS
-----
Round 1

1) The Promise Vs. Enjoy The Silence

Round 2

5) Winner of 1 Vs. Creep
2) A Day Late (acoustic) Vs. Baby, Please Come Home
3) The Haunting Vs. Dismantle. Repair. (Acoustic)
4) Downtown Song Vs. Like A Rolling Stone

Begin!

 

Sorry for the triple post but some thoughts:

1. Obviously, I took out songs we’ve already done since they’re not appreciably different.
2. I’ve been listening to Stranger Ways a lot lately. It’s a worthy winner.
3. The Haunting Vs Baby Please Come Home better be the final.
4. Seether’s cover of Enjoy The Silence is the best version of that song.

 

Enjoy The Silence (super easy)

Such a great compilation! Alot of the covers are fantastic and of course the 2 b-sides are super strong imo.
