New Surrender Review

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Anberlin’s new album, New Surrender, released at the end of September, is the band’s first release on a major label since they signed with Universal Republic Records back in August 2007. Lyrically influenced by the war in Iraq, conspiracy theories and dealing with the news of a friends recent diagnosis with a terminal disease, Stephen Christian said he went through a “minor breakdown” in which he decided to “run away to New Orleans” to write. The album is filled with punching course lines and melodic riffs bound to have you anticipating every track. Stephen Christian’s unique sounding vocals are as present as ever, and even more clearer and resounding.
My favorites as of now are:

  • The Resistance
  • Feel Good Drag, a re-recording from their Never Take Friendship Personal album
  • Breathe, the band’s intimate acoustic track
  • Misearbile Visu (ex malo bonum), the epic 6:36 ending to the album
  • So, go, take a listen, I’m positive new listeners and faithful fans alike will enjoy this one.
