I personally love this change. I seen anberlin first in 2008, and then again in 2022. Stephen has gone major down hill live. Like he has almost no control. That’s what happens when you get older and family is first priority. Your performance just naturally goes down. Matty is in the prime of his career, and has become one of the top vocals for metalcore. Especially live! It’s a win-win to me. You get Stephen on studio and get his sound, but live you get someone, who I think, is just an all round better vocalist. And he brought the scream back to feel good drag! That’s a perfect way to start in terms of throwing your own spin on it
You put it perfectly. And sadly, you’re right about Stephen. I’ve seen them 4 times with Stephen in the last 2 years and he runs out of breath a lot now and his stamina seems to be lacking live. Seems like he’s out of practice and more tired. Matty is a phenomenally consistent great vocalist live. I saw Memphis May Fire live a year ago and he was perfect live. This is gonna be a cool live change for Anberlin
It's so boring to be mad about things all the time. Anberlin is BACK and making cool shit again! It's a little different than before, but how exciting is that?! We don't know what to expect and that's so fun! I'll miss Stephen but Matty is so talented and the rest of the Anberlin guys know how to make great music, so I'm stoked for what's coming next!
Totally agree with Johnny. Its tough to replace Stephen, and i think a vocalist is such a key part of the identity of a band. So as soon as it changes, it will always sound like a slightly different band. I wasnt certain when the song first started if i totally vibed with it, but by the end of the song i was into it. Its an interesting new direction for the band and im interested to see where it goes. In terms of musically, this is probably one of my favourite tracks they have released for a while.
been here since change the world day one!! Love Anberlin.. and glad to see them still going on even if it isnt with Stephen.. Seems like Matty is the next best thing.. lets go!!
I grew up listening to anberlin through high school and my young 20s they were always great. The new singer is just a new era and to me doesnt feel like the LP situation who i also grew up on.
Been listening to them since 2005 and kept up with them consistently ever since. I think this is a cool change, Matty is phenomenal live. I’ve seen Anberlin live 6 times and Memphis May Fire once, I can see the melding work
I think Matty is going to be great. I may not listen to Memphis May Fire, but I think Matty's going to blow the roof off the place once things settle in. I feel like Walk Alone was kind of short. I definitely didn't love it instantly, and I still think the first two choruses aren't given enough time to properly hit. But the instrumentation still sounds like Anberlin, and I have high hopes for what comes next.
Been listening to Anberlin for almost 20 years. I’m happy the rest of the boys get to keep doing what they love. I’m going to support them for life!
Same here, saw them in London in '05 and been hooked since.
'music fans are gonna be the death of music' is so fucking true

appreciate it! gonna do Seven? that track HITS
Did anyone else notice Stephen in the video auditioning in disguise?
Hellyeah... That Stephen cameo was fun.
I've been a huge fan for two decades, and I really like this song! As a DGD-fan, I'm also quite hardened against "new-lead-singer-syndrome" 🤘

Catchiest song they’ve released since Vital 🤘

I was shocked when I learned about the shift, and I’ll miss Stephen’s voice, but Matty seems to be a good fit.
Excited to hear whatever comes next.
Fun review, glad to share these feelings with fellow fans. I hope you guys keep an eye out for Set For The Fall's upcoming music videos.
I've heard, that Steven's doing the rest of the album other than two songs and Matty's doing all the live stuff from now on?
I hope so, they really should've gotten Devin from Sunsleep instead listen to how much he sounds like Stephen

Good old memories back in the 2k with their album New Surrender with feel good drag or breathe ... Great band!
Matty is the perfect replacement. We will all miss Stephen but here's to the future and not the death of Anberlin ❤❤❤ also this song is fkn great
I hope you guys react to dummysystem or headshot from the new crossfaith album. It’s sooo sick!
Johnny really is on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams at 0:00 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely loved this. Screw the haters, they're always wrong about everything music! 🤪
Me watching wondering how you guys missed Stephen in it till the end 😂

Nah we need Stephen
Both the band AND Stephen seem to disagree…
@@nathandjohnny streams don’t - time will tell still love the band 👌🏽
I'm sure Anberlin have already released a different song called Walk Alone...on Vitality.
I don’t think so 🤷🏻♀️
@@Robyn_Huynh Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking of Other Side. I stand corrected.
