"I don't understand why people are so mean"
when I first started reading the comments from people who'd heard New Surrender they were all of praise, saying it was amazing, the best yet, yada yada yada.
then I went back like 30 minutes ago and started reading them since my post.
they were all pretty much of hate, saying "it's not anberlin", saying how disappointed they were that it sounded like you had rushed.
did they not read your blogs? did they not watch the vlogs? did they completely ignore you for the months you were in the studio recording?
honestly.
sure, to some it might not have been quite what they had expected, but do they have to be mean about it?
in my opinion either be constructive about it or keep your mouth shut. no need to bring people down that have poured mind, body, and soul into trying to create the best work of their careers.
I really don't understand people sometimes.
I personally haven't listened to the album, I will when I go out and buy it September 30th.
and no matter if I personally think it's better or worse than Blueprints, NTFP, or Cities, I will love every second of it.
every word, every guitar solo, every melody, every single little thing you spent hours upon hours working on, I will try to find some meaning in, I will love with every fiber of my being.
like I've told you before, you could come out with a record of little kids songs and I'd love it lol.
you're pretty much the reason why I'm alive. (now that I read that, it sounds a little weird.) but it's true. I'm about 98% positive I have dysthymia, a mild form of depression that can last for years (and I've been feeling this way for almost 2 now), and everytime I listen to you guys I feel better. there have only been 2 times in the past 2 years when you did not cheer me up. if I go a day without listening to "A Day Late" or "Paperthin Hymn" or "Alexithymia" I don't feel quite right.
you guys have truly been a miracle to me. so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm sure I will love New Surrender no matter what :)
love you forever,
Candace

i'm super excited. i agree. i used to love a band named lifehouse but when their music changed a lot... i didn't talk trash. but people change so it makes sense that their music changed.
i'm so excited to hear New surrender especially after reading Stephen's book (which i loved and see so many of its themes in their songs). By the way, I'm glad that Anberlin's music has such a positive impact in your life=) They are an inspiration to us all.
