    I guess that is why we disagree. I think Arrivals & Departures is probably their best all around album. Sure there are some better songs on other albums. But front to back I thought Arrivals & Departures was their best album because almost every song was at least good, save for Love With Caution. If You Could See Into My Soul is my favourite Silverstein song. We will also probably disagree on this one too but I think A Beautiful Place to Drown is their second best album. Sure I love songs like Smile In Your Sleep, American Dream, Vices, My Heroine, Your Sword vs My Daggeer, but I found that often those were the only songs that I really liked on their respective albums. I've been listening to them since 03 also since they are a local band to where I live, and therefore have seen them live many, many times. But I have a weird preferences with Silverstein. It could just be because I have listened to them for 17 years. But since Arrivals & Departures came out my opinion has not changed that it is their best album to date.

    Haha its funny that you love A Beautiful Place To Drown as I think its their second worst album as while there are some decent songs on the album it also doesn't feel like it has the soul of their other releases. While we may disagree, it's good to know there are people out there who love the band as much as I do, but have completely different opinions of their best work. I'd have to say that Discovering The Waterfront and This Is How The Wind Shifts are their best albums, but aren't a huge fan of their most popular songs like My Heroine and Smile In Your Sleep. My favourite songs of theirs (and still give me goosebumps every listen) are: Call It Karma, Wish I Could Forget You, Toronto (Unabridged) and California.

    I actually hate My Disaster 2.0. The original version was absolutely perfect, and is one of my favourite Silverstein songs. This new version is an abomination.

    I'd have to disagree. Having been a massive SIlverstein fan since 2003, Arrivals & Departures is by far their worst and most soulless album IMO. While the songs might be alright, the production of them is super poor and is really lacking any life (which is odd as Mark Trombino's mixes are normally pretty fun and forward sounding). Shane has said numerous time the band wasn't happy with the album and producer as they were super rushed and didn't get a chance to go back and polish off the songs. Shane is also my favourite vocalist and it sounds as if on Arrivals & Departures he has had his soul ripped out and his voice is just really lacking any energy, life or emotion. All the re-recorded versions of songs of the album on Redux 1 and 2 sound a million times better than the originals.

    @Blade$inger If you wanted to purchase it for $12 on the site I found it from, I think they have 320, FLAC, and everything. But I already pre-ordered the vinyl so I didn't want to buy the album a second time. I believe the pre-order will come with a digital code for higher quality though, if so, I will share!

    Correct, if you buy it from their Bandcamp page you an download in any format. The FLAC is in 48/24. Have had the album for a couple of weeks as I backed it on Kickstarter. Good album, TCC have never made a bad album! As the band are 100% Independent these days I would recommend purchasing the album directly through them.

    It was an amazing EP. 187 for life. Haha If you ever watched the DVD that came with Let It Enfold You, Bastard Son was featured I think in the opening credits or during a tour montage. I never found that track (Bastard Son), until this very day. Haha

     

    I still have a copy of the original version. Can't remember where I downloaded it from (might have been their Myspace page haha).
