5.0 classic
Anberlin Cities
This piece of music is sometimes uplifting, sometimes heart-wrenching but always beautiful. It's hard to find a mood in which I don't want to listen to this.

Anberlin Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place
It's hard not to compare this to Cities because I don't think they'll ever top it, but for what it's worth this album is still amazing.

A truly surreal album that picks you up and gently cradles you before the drums burst through. The last 3 songs are literally perfect.

Beautiful album. This should have got way more attention.

I wanted this to be exceptional and while there are about 3 songs on here that are, the rest are just "meh."
The Best Pessimist Love Is...
Still not sure how I feel about it. The opening track is freaking amazing, but some of the other songs just don't do it for me.

The American Dollar Awake In The City
I've been a fan of this ambient/electronic duo for a while. Their albums are mellow, yet uplifting; in a genre that has essentially gone stale for me, Awake in the City is a breath of fresh air that will likely find itself quite high on my year end list. I highly suggest you check it out.
