Album Notes & Community Reviews
After exploring softer, more stadium-ready alt-rock textures on their previous effort, Anberlin returned with a noticeably darker and more aggressive tone on 'Vital'. The album heavily integrates driving synthesizers and industrial-tinged electronic programming alongside Stephen Christian's passionate vocals, resulting in one of the band's most urgent and intense releases.
