This was my first Anberlin record and I loved almost every moment of it. Imagine Bono's voice against a harder edged music, but still as tuneful as anything U2 has done. "The Resistance" breaks out of the speakers with the lead singer talking about "paper tigers" (a reference I still have not looked up yet) and "Feel Good Drag" is a great single with grinding guitars and a passionate vocal.But my favorite moment, and one that I keep on high rotation is "Breathe", a song that could have been on the "16 Candles" or "Pretty In Pink" soundtrack from the 80's. It would have made a great slow-dance scene number. Anberlin has released two albums since this one (one last week) and I like them too. These guys were a great discovery.Wednesday, October 24, 2012
