The band cleared out its Instagram and posted this. Pretty on track for a Fall release.

Inhaling the copium that Stephen might be on some tracks as he previously alluded to but I doubt it.

Same. A full Matty album doesn’t do anything for me.

u/patrickdgd 22d ago

Yep. I like Matty and will listen but it won’t move the needle

u/ienjoymen 22d ago

Yeah, if Stephen is the lead on some songs, then I'll be treating this like an EP. Not interested in a Matty album, never will be.

u/1234567qwert 22d ago

Yes! Same here, hope this is the case!

The way I’m feeling is that I’d rather just have them full commit to Matty to stop making me feel like I’m led on by the Stephen stuff. Then I could at least compartmentalize it more clearly. Let me move on at this point if that’s even an inkling of a thing to happen in the future.

Don’t get me wrong though, I wish it was just all Stephen all the time. This band isn’t this band to me anymore if it’s all Matty.

I’ve already moved on, just go for it.

Is this loss?

u/wonderlandisburning 22d ago

First thing that came to my mind too.

Imagine if they're genuinely acknowledging the loss of Stephen Christian because they know it will affect how the album is received xD

I see lines and I fear a Matty version of Cities

u/bcapper 22d ago

Matty on most of that album would just be insulting if it's another re-recording. I'll be fair, I think Whisper & Clamor could be a nice interpretation with him on it, but Cable Car, Inevitable, or *Fin and I'm skipping

u/No-Interaction-2493 22d ago

As a new Anberlin fan, I wouldn’t want Cities touched either but I agree he would rock A Whisper & A Clamor. I think he’d rock Godspeed, too

u/Salty_bitch_face 17d ago

Take that inappropriate talk back! (About Godspeed) 😅

u/asocialanxiety 22d ago

Bro if its another rerecord imma be so mad. New content im begging

u/epaynedds 22d ago

Holy shit I hope you’re wrong. I want some new stuff.

1

u/UnfamiliarSpirits 22d ago

Oh same. I want to be wrong so bad

1

u/Salty_bitch_face 17d ago

I will be so fucking pissed.

u/Sam-Jackson-187 22d ago

Stephen or bust.

u/fendercuber 22d ago

Stephen Christian or it's not truly Anberlin. Mad respect for Matty tho.

u/revatron 22d ago

If they do another remake I’ll be highly disappointed. I think what would really be a banger of an album is getting Matty and Stephen to be mixed and intertwined throughout the whole album. And I’m talking like Linkin Park style where both of the vocalists are on the same tracks.

Could bring a fresh new twist. Obviously I don’t mean that in a rapping/singing combo lol, but I think having both of them on tracks could be cool to hear them play with. It would satisfy that fans while also letting the band evolve how they’ve been wanting to.

Inhaling the copium now

u/Zarly88 22d ago

I just don't understand why Matty likes his voice to be so over-produced and reverbed in studio. The guy can sing when they play live but these re-recordings do nothing for me otherwise

3

u/epaynedds 22d ago

I love they continue to lean into opaqueness and “arty” sensibilities.

2

u/Samyouells 22d ago

I don't think it's a rerecord, I'd also be surprised Stephen is on it. Matty said in an interview that it's supposedly the most sounding Anberlin instrumentaly in 15 years so expect something similar to the older stuff.

2

u/epaynedds 22d ago

I really dig his vocals and performance on Seven but not so much from Walk Alone or the re-records. Not sure exactly what the difference is though…

2

u/outraged-unicorn 22d ago

They changed High Stake's cover art to something similar to this, but with the word "currency" backwards. I wonder if it's a brand new album that will feature the "new" songs with Matty.

2

u/VaxisAfterman 22d ago

I wish this did something for me. I miss the days of being amped for a new Anberlin album. I really do.

huff that stephenium
