I've been wondering how those unfamiliar to Anberlin like this album - thanks for commenting!

Sidenote from the greatness of this album: is there any version of the physical release that has a booklet with lyrics and such? I just purchased the basic version from Best Buy, wondering if it's just even one more reason that I should have sprung for the dlx version?

Deluxe doesn't have it either sadly.

Extremely impressed with this album, and I've only ever been a casual listener. Excellent review as well!

NTFP was their strongest.. ya'll are crazy.

Take a look at the physical CD itself - the lyrics are on it! Very tiny, but they're there.

Nice review. Enjoying this album so far. No sprink-no care

Is anyone else noticing that the album kind of sounds muffled, like it was poorly mastered?

Holy crap, I thought they were just circular lines around the disc. You've just blown my mind haha. Thanks!

Yea I'm probably going to have to go check that out now as well. Too many people singing its praises in this thread :)

album is unreal

Have you all listened to the Best Buy exclusives? STELLAR! I honestly hate when bands have exclusives as I feel all fans should be able to enjoy all the content of an album in its entirety...but I'm glad I bought the exclusive one!

When was that interview with Stephen gonna be posted?

It's good, I was honestly expecting a lot....best thing they've done since NTFP.

I saw Ethan Luck from Relient K in Pretend to Be Friends playing percussion, but he wasn't credited. Do we know who else was on percussion and other stuff?
