Cities
Unlike most emo bands that merely offer a laundry list of personal hardships over the sound of loud guitars, the members of Anberlin know that they can seek salvation in a higher power, so the songs on Cities aren't so much about self-pity as self-preservation. It's a refreshing twist on the formula, especially when paired with the industrial-strength hooks the spiritual Florida band knocks out on tracks like "Dismantle. Repair." and "Godspeed." On the latter, the group's frontman Stephen Christian lashes out against the bad habits of his secular counterparts: "Tell them who you were, who you really were/Kill yourself slowly over time, fashion statement suicide." --Aidin Vaziri more

- Nothing like their other albums.
What happened to the rock that Anberlin used to provide? I loved their rock songs like Change The World, Cadence, Paperthin Hymn, and Feel Good Drag, but the only rock this one serves up is Godspeed. This pop album may be impressive to...
