Enjoy the Silence might be my favorite on Lost Songs too. And I will forever argue that The Haunting is a bottom 10 Anberlin song. Haha If I remember correctly this was the first song (or at least one of the first songs) Stephen wrote for Anberlin and I think it really shows. It just sounds, for lack of a better term, premature. Even weirder is, despite the reason for the lyrics and (most of) the melody being lackluster, the instrumental is just as bad (pretty sure that was made around the time of Cities). I hate the acoustic guitar sound, and the like, tambourine(?) or whatever playing along with it. It sounds super cheesy. Then whenever it picks up, it just feels like a really watered down “good” Anberlin song. Don’t worry, I’ve doused myself in gasoline and am ready to accept the flaming (and sweet release of death) as a consequence of my deep hatred of what seems to be a fan favorite song. It’s been good, friends. (Alright now you can all go back to voting for The Haunting... I’ve made my peace. Hahaha)
I actually agree with many points from above but I’d still argue that The Haunting is a better song than Uncanny. So i’ll go with that... The Haunting.
The Haunting: 13 Uncanny: 1 This is obviously over but I’ll keep it open until tonight when I have time to make up the wild card round. Feel free to boost Haunting even more bc it deserves it.
Sorry guys this will be kind of an off topic but I have to ask. Does anybody here have the "Pretend to be friends" short film from Anberlin? It was on the Best Buy DVD Edition of Vital and since the release I'm eager to watch it, but I can't find it anywhere, and because of the poor music distribution in our country, it was impossible for me to buy the DVD. Also: Uncanny
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: Wild Card ----- Round 1 1) Disappear Vs. (*Fin) 2) Atonement Vs. Cadence 3) Little Tyrants Vs. Uncanny 4) Time and Confusion Vs. Take Me (As You Found Me) I think I know how this is gonna go lolz. Begin!
Fin (That was awful. Hate voting against Disappear :( ) Atonement Little Tyrants Time And Confusion first matchup was the only hard one.
