And with this, I finally accept that Anberlin is a band I will never like.

Upon first listen, I can say that this is Anberlin's best work besides Cities. It's combined all their past influences as well as shown us a new side of Anberlin. Upon more listens it'll probably either become better than Cities, or it may not be as great as I think it is now. Regardless, time will definitely tell. As of now, this album features some of Anberlin's best songs as well as "Velvet Covered Brick," which might be the best song they've done thus far, imo. Anberlin have given us one hell of a ride and I will miss them dearly. Hopefully they'll come back to us in the future

Vital was their masterpiece, but this is a fitting send of and their most deeply religious, which is somehow endearing (I'm not religious myself)

Some major life events occurred, and this album has more meaning for me now.

It doesn't seem like it matters what tweak Anberlin makes to their sound, whether it be the highly energetic pop-punk/alt-rock of earlier records like Never Take Friendship Personal, the electronic-influenced records like Cities, or the stripped down, bare-bones approach like on Dark Is The Way, Light Is The Place, one thing always remains the same: they write the hell out of their hooks. It's no different on Lowborn, which offers elements of synthpop in addition to their catchy brand of alt-rock. The songwriting is Anberlin to a T, and the lyrics and vocals remain constantly solid and occasionally brilliant. It's not anything all that different from their last record Devotion, but the notion that they still have the ability to make some very catchy and fun tunes seven albums into their career is very impressive. Long story short, if you like Anberlin, you'll undoubtedly enjoy their swansong in Lowborn.

Anberlin rides off into the sunset with one last hurrah--and it does not disappoint.

Anberlin were incredibly solid and consistent throughout their entire career. Just because they're disbanding doesn't mean they're suddenly going to do anything different.

Probably the most most inaccessible the group's been on the first listen since "Dark is the Way," but like all Anberlin, it grows on you. It's all over the place and lacks the focus of "Vital" or "Cities." There's elements of the group's entire discography throughout, yet there are risks that push the edge of Anberlin's sound. There's no doubt the best of the "emo" bands is going out on its own terms, and solidifies its place as one of the most underrated alternative rock bands of the past 2000s that has carved out its own well-earned niche amongst the heralded likes of Muse, The Killers and Coldplay. A fitting swan song!

Awful indie pop crap. The worst album of their career by far. It's a shame these guys didn't go out with a bang instead of a tight pant, crotch pinching sob.
