Lost Songs
Throughout rock history, from "OK Computer" to "War" to "London Calling, " third albums have defined careers. With the bombastic, breathtaking CITIES, Anberlin"s cohesive and adventurous new album, the group puts itself in some esteemed company, with a modern classic that uplifts as much as it initiates thought and elicits emotion. The Winter Haven, Florida-reared quintet"who have toured with everyone from Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance to Yellowcard and Hawthorne Heights"doesn"t just build on the energy and determination of recent singles like "Paperthin Hymn, " "The Feelgood Drag, " and "A Day Late." Instead, Anberlin expands its grasp of what a rock record can be with the Aaron Sprinkle-produced "Cities." The Lost Songs tribute is a collection of rare and never-before-released material spanning the band"s entire career and offers, for the first time-ever, a collection of acoustic versions, cover tracks and songs that just didn"t fit on an album. This is a die-hard Anberlin must have.
