All Music Guide - Greg Prato Sticky sweet pop melodies, explosive pop-punk chord progressions, "sensitive guy" lyrics. Yep, this should all sound pretty darn familiar if you're a rock fan circa the early 21st century, as there's been an endless stream of bands (for years by this point) that meet all the prerequisites of the aforementioned checklist. And on their 2007 release, Cities, there are certain moments that you can definitely add Anberlin to this list. Thankfully, they don't specialize in that annoying frat-boy-esque shtick that some pop-punk bands do; instead, Anberlin can be quite an ambitious bunch that go the emo route.

Anberlin is my new Favorite band! This CD is a must own! Many of the lyrics are really deep, they make you think; and Stephen Christian's voice is AMAZING. "Whisper and a Clamor", "Godspeed", and "The Unwinding Cable Car" are my favorite songs; but all of the others are great too. In my opinion this is the best of music... a lot of the songs have a positive message,and none have profanity,and the entire CD totally ROCKS!

Anberlin is definitly one of my favorite bands. This album is probably one of their best yet. I would say that the hilightes of the CD are Inevitable, Dismantle Repair, Alexithymia, and Unwinding Cable Car. Anberlin is really good at slow songs and they should do more of them.

For any Anberlin fan, this is probably the most important CD after Never Take Friendship Personal. Their lyrics are deep and they send positive messages, and though they are a Christian band, they don't preach. The lead singer Stephen's voice is amazing and unique. It sounds better [if you can imagine that] live in concert. I'm saying this about a concert I attended after Stephen was in the hospital for bronchitis a couple nights previous. Not to mention, the guys are all very down to earth and easy to talk to, if you meet them. All in all, it's worth it to fall in love with this band. They won't let you down.
